Apologies to no one but I'm about to be absolutely insufferable the next few days and maybe next two years

If you want evidence that capitalism is a force for good, just visit a grocery store.

MAGA politician facing Muslim allegations is so hilarious you couldn't even make that up
Rep. Cory Mills (R-FL) lied about his religious history and converted to Islam in 2014

Disgusting that @LifeAtPurdue is taking part in a disturbing pattern of institutions claiming to protect free speech but in practice, stifling it.
Purdue University told The Purdue Exponent last Friday they will no longer assist in the distribution of newspapers. Purdue has aided in the circulation of The Exponent for the past 50 years. purdueexponent.org/campus/general…

Been fascinated by xrRNAs since seeing Jeff Kieft give a talk about them a few years ago. So cool to see the story progress. Lot of cool biochem, structure, and bioinfo in this preprint!
1. Hi #RNA friends, just in time for the holidays I am excited to share the latest pre-print from my group. We solved the structure of a mysterious viral RNA that resists degradation by host nucleases. A short 🧵 & link below – please also check out the full video! #lovevirology

Don't tell EHS but I capped a full tube and a bit of mCherry-expressing E. coli splashed into my nose. My skin now has a slight pink hue but I'm mostly fine.

Wow what a brilliant and well-conceived plan! In fact, he should go further. The government should start nationalizing private corporations and similarly cutting staff randomly by 75% to make all industries more efficient!
Vivek Ramaswamy's thought experiment for reducing the size of government on @lexfridman:
"Day 1, anybody in the federal bureaucracy who's not elected, whose Social Security number ends in an odd number, you're out. [Day 2], of those who remain, if your Social Security starts in in, and if it starts with an odd number, you're out. That's a 75% reduction."
"Now imagine that you could run that thought experiment at scale, but you had a metric for screening people who had the greatest competence, as well as the greatest commitment and knowledge of the Constitution. That would immediately raise not only the civic character of the United States... it would also stimulate the economy. The regulatory state is like a wet blanket on the economy."
"One of the virtues of that thought experiment is you don't have a bunch of lawsuits you're dealing with about gender discrimination or racial discrimination... [And] the reality is... on Day 3, not a thing will have changed for the ordinary American, other than their government being a lot smaller and more restrained, and spending a lot less money."
