My first piece of scientific writing just got published! Check out the NSMB News and Views @Gamble__Lab and I wrote about fantastic work from @MarcusBuschbeck's group on the co-evolution of marcoH2A1.1 and PARP1. https://t.co/NfEh4iqHfm

To come to Aaron's defense, his calculation appears to be for teaching. In this model, graduate students do an additional ~8,880 hours of research work as volunteers.

NEW poll: A supermajority of Jewish Americans believe Israeli & AIPAC actions increase antisemitism.

80% say Israel’s actions in Gaza & the West Bank increase antisemitism in the US.

66% say AIPAC’s campaign spending against candidates critical of Israel increases antisemitism.

I can't believe no one voted for people who talk like this

[Pablo Torre 👀 @PabloTorre]

What is the point of a politician — let alone a literal vice president — who says he understood all of this and yet did absolutely nothing about it

El-Sayed: To AIPAC who spent $42 million against us. Thank you for giving me the opportunity to beat you twice.

[Brad Lander @bradlander]

Thank you, NY-10 voters! It’s a profound honor to represent you in the U.S. Congress. Whether you voted for me or not, I’ll work hard to serve you, your families, and your neighbors every single day.

I’ll fight fiercely to make life more affordable for working families. To combat the corruption of Trump and his billionaire cronies. To restore trust in democracy by making government deliver. To organize alongside you. To stand up for the human rights of our neighbors, near and far. 

Let’s get to work.

McMorrow: "This has been the most ugly, bigoted, Islamophobic, racist campaign, and that is the only thing that they have to run on. Mike Rogers is not who we should be endorsing to be the next United States Senator!"

This is a @MalloryMcMorrow appreciation tweet.

Hey in case anyone's waffling here. Keep Mike Rogers far, far away from the US Senate.

💢 "I don't know how a parent can raise such monsters," American photojournalist Heidi Levine said from her hospital bed in Ramallah after masked Israeli settlers beat her in the West Bank on Friday.

"They are Jewish terrorists," the Washington Post freelancer said. She
was attacked while covering the olive harvest in Abu Falah. Levine said the settlers pushed her to the ground and kicked her "probably 50 times" over about 10 minutes, tearing her cameras and phone off her. She said her flak jacket and helmet likely saved her life before Palestinian colleagues and medics evacuated her by ambulance.

"Sadly, none of them will be prosecuted," she said. "I am sure of it."

“Let me die,” American photojournalist Heidi Levine repeats to journalists Jasper Nathaniel as they try to outrun masked Israeli settlers who attacked her on Friday while she covered the olive harvest in the West Bank village of Abu Falah, near Ramallah.

Around 80 settlers attacked Palestinian olive harvesters in the village, AP reported. The Palestinian Red Crescent said it treated six people injured in two attacks in Abu Falah.

Levine, a freelancer for the Washington Post, told the Committee to Protect Journalists that the settlers knocked her down and kicked her for at least 10 minutes, even after she identified herself as an American journalist. They stole her camera, phone and bag. She was eventually taken to a hospital in Ramallah.

"The IDF provided cover, with tear gas and machine guns, while the settlers beat" Levine "nearly to death," Nathaniel wrote, adding that soldiers then shot a Palestinian bystander and aimed their guns at and shoved paramedics trying to treat him. AP photos and circulating videos show Israeli soldiers standing over a wounded Palestinian man after they shot him.

Andrey X, an activist also at the scene, said a Palestinian man "saved our lives from the settler-terrorists who attacked the olive harvesters and journalists” armed only with a slingshot.

Can't believe 60 Minutes actually put this on air. Mainstream American TV just walked into the West Bank and showed settlers moving in, cutting off a family from their own house, and attacking them when they tried to go back. One relative got shot in the head. This is the kind of thing that usually stays buried - so I wonder how the Trump-Bibi admin will take it! 😬

[Harrison Berger @BergerPosts]

Tucker Carlson's morning note:

"If TIME’s reporting is accurate, then the President of the United States launched one of the most bellicose military invasions in American history on the advice of a chatbot.

It is hard to imagine clearer proof that the people running our country are nothing close to the geniuses they want you to think they are. They are faking it as they go. There is no master plan; the White House is not playing 4D chess. Or even checkers."

An alternative hypothesis:
- model performance is plateauing
- compute is getting much more expensive
- AI data centers are massively unpopular
- slowing down AI development is a way to explain slowing progress, reduce spending, and try to regain some goodwill.
- This is an effort to save the IPO not humanity.

The last speaker at the 9/11 remembrance ceremony lost his father Michael Massaroli to the attacks.

"You do my dad's legacy and the legacy of all these victims no honor by using this tragedy to spread hate," he said. "I've had to grow up and spend the past 25 years seeing people use it to hate on our Muslim brothers and sisters, to hate on people who don't look like them."

[Jewish Voice @jewishvoicelive]

Using the suffering of 9/11 victims for Zionist propaganda—and to intimidate NYC Mayor Zohran Mamdani—is a betrayal of those victims and will not legitimize genocide.

A message from anti-Zionist Jews at the counterprotest, where Zionists protested against the DSA and Mayor Mamdani.

[Omar Elayat @oelayat]

Remember when Gottheimer said all Muslims were all guilty for 10/7? When Gillibrand said Mamdani supported "global jihad"? When Cuomo agreed Mamdani would cheer a second 9/11? When Nessel spent weeks lying that Tlaib was attacking her over her faith? When Crockett dropped her "slave mentality" comments? Or the hundred bigoted things Fetterman has said about Mamdani and AES? It would be great for establishment Dems to universally condemn bigotry in their own party. But it isn't a sincere principle to them, it's a cudgel to be used against ideological opponents
