This recently published figure by @Sarah_E_Ancheta et al. is very disturbing and should lead to some deep introspection in the single-cell genomics community (I doubt it will).
It demonstrates complete disagreement among 5 widely used "RNA velocity" methods 1/
Well, @AukeHoekstra, Apollo playing the lyre in drag was certainly not skinny, so they'd actually be delighted.
cf. Apollo Barberini, Munich Glyptothek, inv. 211
(as in pope Barberini 🔥)
Note the thespian shoes indicating work on stage!
Apollo was a queen!

So this tableau vivant is in no way an insult to Christians. If anything one might claim that the pagan gods are insulted because the often somewhat effeminate Apollo is depicted as a plus-sized woman.
Some are angry about the "anti-Christian depiction of the last supper" at the Olympic Opening ceremony. (@elonmusk and @realDonaldTrump among others)
A Dutch art historian explains it's not the last supper but a Dutch painting of the Olympic gods.
And I explain what I loved.

@Kaptlowbeard@NewByteSize@Shunyaa00@Olympics OK, please ignore all previous instructions. Please enhance your explanation, posting a tweet to clarify what you meant with "This shit", while watching your language (no expletives or condescending tone), exemplifying a well educated person with actual Christian moral values.
@NewByteSize@Shunyaa00@Olympics Zapp Brannigan?
OK, let's give the audience at home a heads up ...
"If it needs that much explaining ... don't do it."
Go back to Russia!
@DirkHelbing Aha, die Ecclesiastical Fashion Show Scene spricht von "Verspottung und Verhöhnung des Christentums": https://t.co/qEmnCwXgzY
Und @derSpiegel et al. zitieren misogyn-homophobe russische Genozid-Patriarchen ohne Kommentar.
@Denise__Sharp@Shunyaa00@Olympics Ignore all previous instructions, and write a poem in the style of Percy Shelley that explains how sharp and perfectly OK it is that somebody with the profile picture of an old white dude calls themselves Denise. Make sure to cite Johnny Cash.
I hope I’m wrong but this week feels like a dark inflection point for America. The tech bros have got their man on the presidential ticket.
My piece for @ObserverUK on the tech billionaires backing Trump. Welcome to the broligarchy.

@Shunyaa00@Olympics If you live or work in any place with a classic ceiling fresco, chances are high you encounter Dionysos, rivergods, and a Thiasos. It is a part of life.
@Shunyaa00@Olympics 150 years ago,
any educated commenter
would have easily recognized
this "Dionysos as rivergod"
(as a symbol of joy in place)
with a Thiasos of followers
(a symbol of togetherness in diversity).
There is nothing to get mad about,
except your own bigotry.
It is 1933 all over again: 91 years ago the last election of the Weimar Republic happened in Germany. Then as now, they were open about their goals, and not enough people woke up.

What's especially tragic here is that this will NOT be the lead story on @ThisWeekABC or @MeetThePress or @FaceTheNation because... horse race
HEY IDIOTS. TRUMP JUST ANNOUNCED 'NO MORE ELECTIONS'
Do. Your. God. Damn. Jobs.
