I make no apology for posting this photo. I think it’s a photo that will haunt America in the years to come.

This is what you have become. If you defend this, have a word with yourself.

I'll be at #NeurIPS2025 and looking forward to connecting with other scientists working in biology and AI #AIforScience

Dear Trump Job Seekers:

Long time, no chat.

Before asking me for help, I am going to ask you to provide me specific and concrete evidence of your łoyalty to Trump.

If you cannot provide a lot of that, stop asking me.

Political appointments require both competency and loyalty.

1/n: There are some academic papers that are so brilliantly and so accessibly written and so universal in scope that they transcend disciplines and stand as timeless testaments to both great thinking and great writing. Here's a short personal selection:

If you want to know what you'll learn when reading Causal Inference in Python, here is a decent summary:

I gave a eulogy yesterday for a dear mentor but in the days before hand, I couldn’t start writing. So much to say and no words. I told #ChatGPT how I felt and it turned my thoughts into 500 structured words that gave comfort to the grieving.

A storytelling trope is the guy who sells his soul to Satan for fame or power, but the devil tricks him out of his reward. There's a moment the guy realizes that he will never get what he wanted but has still signed his soul over to Satan. That moment looks just like this moment.

Babylon 5 was one of the most influential shows in the late 90's. Do you like the long-term stories in Game of Thrones or Walking Dead? B5 enabled this by proving it could be done. Let's give him a chance to change the rules again! #B5onCWin23

[J. Michael Straczynski @straczynski]

The fate of the #Babylon5 pilot may be decided end of this month. Though much of @TheCW was bought by @NXSTMediaGroup the decision also rests heavily with @WarnerbrosTV. If fans want to show their support for B5 & let them know you want this to happen, now is the time #B5onCWin23

For the first time, astronomers have captured a photograph of a star so distant that nothing we do could ever affect it — even in the very fullness of time.
It lies beyond the affectable universe.

What messaging worked in Kansas? Let's look at the ads from the winning "NO" team...

I’m seeing a lot of posts saying people will die because Roe has been overturned. That is definitely true. But perhaps not for the reasons you think.

Russia has a hunger plan. Vladimir Putin is preparing to starve much of the developing world as the next stage in his war in Europe. 1/16

A gender perspective is indispensable for understanding mass shootings, conflict and war. The overwhelming majority of perpetrators of lethal violence are men, yet most men never fire a weapon in anger. How come? This is a thread with examples of relevant research.

Congratulations @hellascience510!!

Ukraine is a test for us all. Twenty short lectures, conversational but serious, trying to answer the big questions. Will appear as a new version of the #OnTyranny audiobook on April 19th. All proceeds to humanitarian causes in #Ukraine.

TVRain, the last independent broadcaster in Russia, has been shutdown by authorities. The channel is now broadcasting Swan Lake, a throwback to the old 1991 coup days when TV would only show the Tchaikovsky ballet on a loop. That’s how people knew there was turmoil in the country

After the election of Trump, @mashagessen counseled us to 'Believe the autocrat' (https://t.co/rRfe0DIY94). I think that's especially important when the autocrat is threatening to use his nuclear weapons. 9/9

[David Rothschild 🌻 @DavMicRot]

In February 2020, just 2 years ago, 52 of 53 Republican senators voted to allow (then) President Trump to block congressionally authorized sale of critical military supplies to the courageous President Zelensky of Ukraine, unless Ukraine manufactured anti-Democratic propaganda.
