In the early Twitter days science types would show up and post when they had a new paper. Wonderful! But real talk y'all: papers take ages to write. So, post about other people's stuff! You read a paper and it was cool! Or you had a question! Or it tied to this other thing! Tag the authors!

I became a naturalized US citizen at the age of 16. We drove up from Gaithersburg to the courthouse in Baltimore, where I swore allegiance to the US of A along with about 100 others. I voted for Carter in 1976 and have voted D in every election. Not voting feels like a violation of my oath.

(1/?) “It would be naïve to depend on the Supreme Court to defend the rights of poor people, women, people of color, dissenters of all kinds. Those rights only come alive when citizens organize, protest, demonstrate, strike, boycott, rebel, and violate the law in order to uphold justice.”

I wrote this before the Imperial Court issued its diktats, but I could see what was coming. If we want January 6th recognized for the crime it is, if we want to punish the perpetrator of that crime, we need our best to make the case against him. www.damemagazine.com/2024/05/07/t...

Seriously? NYTimes just had to get Biden's debate stumble into Biden's comments on the Supreme Court's ruling? That was more important than the peril to our democracy?1

Don't forget state and local Democratic party organizations. Join their get out the vote (GOTV) efforts. Grass-roots organizing is key. I joined the Dekalb Dems here in Georgia and knocked on doors in my neighborhood the last election.

Can we stop calling the six "conservative" justices? They are anything but. Rightfully call them "GOP" justices or "right'wing activist" justices.

And that’s just what we know from media investigations. The Supreme Court of today is fully an arm of the Republican Party, and the only remedy in our hands is an electoral defeat for that party. All the alarm bells are ringing. The time is now.

The media headlines and the pundits all make it seem like a Biden loss is a foregone conclusion, triggered by that debate performance. I'm trying to keep a better perspective, keeping in mind the fundamentals at play. Your thread helped.

From the description of Chloro-count in the preprint, machine-learning seems more appropriate than AI. More specifically, a neural network, as stated in their preprint.

Half the samples of bulk raw milk headed for pasteurization in states with bird flu in diary herds tested positive. 👏25% of those samples contained infectious virus👏 Flash pasteurization fully destroys viral infectivity. Raw milk needs to end yesterday.

What to do about Joe Biden? I will pound the pavement and knock on doors to support the Dem candidate, who happens to be Joe Biden. We all need to get behind and push in the same direction. All this talk about replacing Joe seems counter-productive at this point.

This is key -- what can this or that candidate actually accomplish, in the current and near-term political reality? Biden has an impressive track record.

In new experiments, scientists have given bird flu to cows and watched what happens. The results indicate the virus isn't spreading in droplets infecting airways. For those worried about the evolution of a new pandemic, that's good news--for now. Here's my story. 🧪 Gift link: nyti.ms/3RNOYhX

Where are all the comments about Trump obviously showing that he's not grounded in reality? That he's a mean, petty tyrant? A vigorous, mean, petty tyrant divorced from reality?

I actually agree with this. Let's see how persuadable voters really saw the debate performances. The post-debate commentariat is not helping.

If there were one piece of advice which I would give to a young person that I think is applicable to every career (and other parts of life) it would be: You have to say what you want, out loud. No one can see inside your head. If you want to do a job or get into an area, you need to say so.

A surprising thing about the Bible is that the commandments Moses chisels on stone tablets are not “The Ten Commandments” but a different set of commandments that are like:

• Observe Passover
• Don’t marry Hittites
• Don’t cook young goats in goat’s milk.

Some reduce the 2024 campaign to a contest between two old men, but it's a choice of two slates of federal appointees who'll impact your life in a million ways. Biden has staffed executive agencies with excellent choices who are doing good work. Trump will empower an army of Stephen Millers.
