Maybe he'll get so mad that he'll say a slur then immediately die

Apparently Cantina Rosa has an all day happy hour on Sundays, which is very dangerous information to learn

Gotta love some neighbors in our building letting the rest of us know that they’re having a party tonight by texting after the party has already started.

They should invent a convention center with places to sit and charge devices instead of having to squat on the floor next to the only outlet within 10 city blocks

Day one of #CellBio2025 isn’t even over and I can already confidently say Philly is the best location I’ve been to because I can eat every meal in Chinatown.

Seems like health care would be a pretty important part of "quality of life" especially for people at retirement age

Never a bad time to rewatch this banger from @hbomberguy.bsky.social and get really angry all over again

Actually, the "Bitcoin buried in Newport landfill" is pretty whimsical upon second reflection. Man drives himself to madness concocting plan to dig through a mountain of garbage.

No missing treasures from the last 50 years with an existence status of "Legend" is really a sign that we're in dire times. Where's the whimsy?

Updated Zotero without realizing the new version is no longer compatible with ZotFile and now my whole paper organization system is borked and I just don't have the will to deal with that right now

How do resident Golgi proteins recycle during cisternal maturation? Nice preprint from Adam Krahn in the Glick lab shows different classes of intra-Golgi vesicles in yeast: two COPI-dependent (early and mid) and one late clathrin/AP-1/Ent5 pathway.

you'd think the governor of illinois basically going "we're being invaded by an authoritarian" would be something you'd see real easy on the front page of most everything an hour later

So it's an LLM which has to be trained on the wider internet to be at all useful, which means it has been trained on facts which are at odds with the entire platform of the Republican Party, right?

Once again, something broke in the building my lab is in and we’ve been asked to evacuate out of an abundance of caution. Good thing they’re putting a BSL3 tuberculosis lab in there!

I can't keep up with all the bad news. I think some bad stuff got removed, but there is just so much awful that its hard to keep track of.

On the bright side, the alarm or monitor somewhere in our apartment building appears to be battery powered and is still chirping away
