@visiblecare I'm trying to transfer my cell service to a new iPhone. App is downloaded to new phone. When I try to log into the app, it gives a message, "Oops Something went wrong, we are working hard to fix it." I can log into the app on my old phone just fine.

@joshtpm He skates on everything. Has anyone in the press asked him anything? Like where are your tax returns? Why did you take the classified docs & then lie about having them? Have you paid the Carroll judgment? Why did you lie about paying off Stormy Daniels? Etc. Journalism is dead

It’s pretty wild that this central part of Trumps campaign, putting an insanely ruinous 10% tariff on everything is only now getting some attn. or to think that the central policy of the guy running on defeating inflation is actually a policy to dramatically increase inflation. This is among everything else a pretty conspicuous press failure.

If you're running a lab in academia, then you have a leadership job and a leadership development job.

It's part of your job to be a good leader now to the people in your group as well as to help them grow as leaders so they will be prepared for their future careers.

@joshtpm Where else is there to go, Josh? I'm ready to leave Xitter, and keep coming back here for your posts. Do you cross-post elsewhere?

@StatisticUrban I’ve spent between 1.5 and 6 months abroad a total of 4 times. I usually say I “spent 6 weeks in Australia purifying a protein” whereas I’ll say “I lived for 6 months in England”
