Charlie Kirk spent his lifeās work and all of his energy and time targeting out-groups while arguing for a world in which gun massacres would be easy to enact, plentiful, and inevitable, and he became famous and wealthy doing it, and weāre now not supposed to mention that because itās not polite.
Planted 2 of these this year! Canāt wait until mine flower.
I read almost exclusively read sci-fi/fantasy/speculative fiction when I read for fun. When someone isnāt into it, I just try to shut up and let them recommend books to me instead.
I thought of I Donāt Want To Wait by Paula Cole.
The vigil was started by activist William Thomas to promote nuclear disarmament and an end to global conflicts.
Come to Cordelia in Cleveland, OH. We have homemade fried saltines alongside raw oysters or with a pimento cheese spread.
oh noooo
Will be finding some way to work this into my intro stats course..

We have a lot of bases in this exact layout too.
Last weekendās assignment was āTrump is Deadā jokes and you all did great. This weekendās challenge is: āTrump was an FBI informantā jokes, get cracking
The most recent attempt to follow up on it in JAMA suggests that comparing exposed children to unexposed children, as originally done, is generating a false positive due to confounding. No evidence of increased hazard to exposed children when unexposed sibling controls are used.
you could start an elephant of the week newsletter and promote new designs with it? keep your audience but also your distance?
man.. what did this guy do to that cover photo artist
My previous post meaning the one before the one you replied to. Sometimes itās helpful to read the whole conversation before jumping in.
Unfortunately, I think youāre hitting on one of the big public health problems in the US. We donāt focus enough resources on endemic infectious diseases or chronic illness, and thereās little political will to address that.
I will point you to my previous post where I say do not mistake me, this is not to say the risk has passed.
I work with epidemiologists, and I have my MS in epidemiology and biostatistics. I am aware. That doesnāt change that the pandemic portion of this disease is largely over. Language does matter. Public health measures to combat a pandemic are not the same as those to manage an endemic illness.
A number of epidemiologists would argue that the pandemic has been over and that COVID is now endemic. That certainly doesnāt mean the risk has passed, do not mistake me, but if youāre arguing that language mattersā¦
Thank you for this! I canāt believe how much of this has been memory-holed.
I use it for parsing/wrangling raw DNA and RNA sequencing files occasionally. But not often.
ooooh please share rock app
Today is the 12th day that Reginfo.gov ā the federal government website for informing the public about what survey data & other information agencies collect ā has displayed a notice saying it's "currently undergoing revisions" with no further explanation. The site was temporarily offline on Aug 30.
nothing more freeing than pushing absolutely terrible nondescript commit messages to a private repo only you are in
Iām more of an aunt/godmother type, but I absolutely think āIād like to buy that kid a stupid amount of presents.ā
Prisoner Wine Co. has been a long-time favorite of mine, so I was thrilled when they came out with their Unshackled brut rosƩ. Fruit forward, apricot, peach, floral notes, good minerality. Pairs well with sunshine and fruity or creamy desserts.
Roederer Estate in Anderson Valley, CA has a kickass brut that is one of my favorite gift wines. Expensive enough to show you care but wonāt break the bank. Pear, spice, hazelnut come from oak aging of some wines added to the blend. Pairs best with good friends and a celebration.
Another āCalifornia Champagne,ā I like to recommend this one to newbies. Itās a little sweeter on the finish with less minerality than classic dry sparkling wines, which I think makes it more approachable. Baked apple, orange zest, and honeysuckle. Pairs well with entrees like seafood and pasta.
Now we go to āCalifornia Champagneā with Chandon Brut. Made using the methode champagnoise, you get champagne taste at domestic prices. Often <$25 as well. Green apple, pear, citrus, soft finish. Food friendly, honestly I like this one with fried chicken.
Next up is another budget buy. Mionettoās Prosecco. I like this one in cocktails like a French 75 due to the larger bubbles produced by stainless steel fermentation. Golden and green apple, honey, melon, white peach with good acidity. Pairs well with light appetizers.
Weāll start with this vintage brut rosado Cava by Naveran. This is a blend of organic Pinot Noir with Parallada grapes. Tiny bubbles, red fruit, vanilla, and a bit of spice. Often less than $25, which is a steal for a vintage Cava. Great for sipping but pairs well with charcuterie/soft cheeses.
A š§µ of my favorite sparkling wines. No reason.
Portugal honour Jota by passing his number 21 jersey to close friend Neves reut.rs/41was86
I love Heinenās, and this area sorely needed a grocery store to support the growing residential population, but I wouldnāt exactly call it a food desert here. A food desert is what happens when they close the Collinwood Daveās.
Iām gonna ask this guy who is favorite character is until he answers me and then judge him on either the righteousness or fault of that answer as the sole criteria for his politics. And you can say oh thatās wrong, oh thatās shallow, but what if he says Neelixā¦what if he says Neelix?
Some email domains let you make tiny modifications while still sending to the same email. For example, Gmail lets you throw periods in wherever you want and ignore them. You can use ā+ā to add characters to the end on a lot of domains too.
THIS HAPPENS TO ME TOO. They just nod knowingly like ah yes I get all *waves hand* this now.
The word āersatzā comes to mind.
There's a lawsuit about AI stealing your work. It's the same lawyers taking on Elsevier et al in a separate case. Academics: 1. Check if your work is in LibGen at www.theatlantic.com/technology/a... 2. If so, let the lawyers know at www.lieffcabraser.com/anthropic-au...
What Data Management looks like in the real world š Researcher: Hereās some data, can you wrangle it? DM: Sure! Do I have everything I need? Researcher: Yep! The next 6 months: A series of back and forth emails about missing files, unclear values, and why things are the way that they are.
This is happening to me too but how do you fix how you sleep?? Guess Iāll just hurt forever.
Collaborators of mine had a grant tied up on the microbiome, because it is investigating in part how the diversity of microbial communities relates to health outcomes. Microbes.
I do some work on the microbiome, where analyses of diversity are necessary step in understanding the composition of that community. This has been.. problematic, to say the least.. for those of us in the field.
What Danielle said. According to the Yale Budget Lab, the average effective tariff rate in this economy right now is 18.2% Let me put that another way. President Trump has raised taxes on American businesses and consumers by -- on average -- 18.2%
Can anyone point me to quick guides for Ohio/Cleveland on how to respond if ICE comes to the workplace or what to do if someone is detained? For both immigrants and allies. Iād like to post them for my coworkers, as our workplace may be targeted.
ah yes letās give the disturbingly fast rage zombies the munchies.
so if the new research proves AI is actually not using a lot of energy then why are AI companies so worried about not having enough energy is a question i am mulling to myself
"Why doesn't my R code work?" and Other Sad Stories: a Memoir
In Star Trek TNG episode āRelicsā (S6 Ep. 4), which is set in the **24th century**, the crew stumbles upon a Dyson sphere in the wild. Even THEY are surprised to see the technology and leave scientists behind to study it. Bananas.
Fishes can readily ābounce backā from challenges in their environment. While this resilience is often portrayed as beneficial for their welfare, its pursuit in aquaculture settings raises serious ethical concerns. faunalytics.org/fish-resilie...
okay well, I would like to be clear that I am accusing Israel of genocide.
I think itās high time we take back the national narrative. For centuries Americans of all races, genders, religions, and abilities have worked to create a more perfect union, and we should shout from the rooftops that WE are America. Not these idiot white supremacist authoritarians.
We really need to get Japanese vending machines over here man. American vending machines suck so bad. I need like one of these on every street corner.
The task is Sisyphean but you grow endeared to their individual quirks.
š§µ THREAD: What the leaked Alaska summit documents really reveal (excellent scoop by @NPR) 1/ NPR just broke some big news: US government documents were accidentally left in a hotel printer in Anchorage, revealing the actual plan for the Trump-Putin summit. They show exactly what Trump intended.
I still have a teddy bear wearing a Burlington, VT hoodie I bought in that airport a decade ago doing the exact same thing.
I think that one of the problems of LLMs is that the real world was never meant to be exposed to SaaS. Real people are not conditioned to be sold awkward, half-functional software that sucks unless you spend hours tweaking it, at which point it sort of works and you're meant to love it
$297,880 of your taxpayer dollars on the vehicles alone. Here are the purchase orders.
trackpads can go all the way to hell.
people have used drugs including meth in self-destructive ways. if a user is in a mentally fragile state and prone to delusion, we do not want the meth to reinforce that.
if youve never shared a bathroom with a trans person in 50 years that means youve only pissed at home for 50 years
it is very curious to me that windows, a company that mostly does its work in offices, seems not to understand that their product, which makes its money by being used in offices, should be designed in such a way to maximize its usefulness in an office environment
My problem is when they say money is pouring into the US. Yea, itās revenue, but itās coming from OUR pockets. That revenue was already here! Itās not new money!
I want to know how many prices were imputed this time. If theyāre imputing more and more prices based on historical data, it could be softening the outcome.
This is about as impressive to me as a child writing a poem with fridge magnets.
EJ Antoni has never worked in statistics collection. He is 5 years out of his PhD. He's only ever written one economics paper. His explicit, only qualifications are that he works in ultra-conservative think tanks & believes Trump's conspiracies about the BLS. Grim stuff.
I hope everything turns out okay, but let me tell you, the replies do not disappoint.

Paper drop, for anyone interested in #metascience, #statistics, or #metaanalysis! @clintin.bsky.social and I show in a new paper in JASA that the P-curve, a popular forensic meta-analysis method, has deeply undesirable statistical properties. www.tandfonline.com/doi/full/10.... 1/?
Ok so hear me out. Now that Gold Standard Science is becoming institutionalized with a second EO, here's our opportunity to set alpha to 1 for each and everything hypothesis test. Guaranteed 100% reproducibility, communicates uncertainty, falsifies every null hypothesis. Embodies the Gold Standard!
cars should just hook onto a track on the freeway so you donāt have to drive people could share spaces in their car they could make cars big enough to hold like 100 people maybe with a dining car
Iāve bought multiple books Iāve seen recommended here. Fever House by Keith Rosson and Wild Faith by @swordsjew.bsky.social come immediately to mind.
She seems to have effectively organized a number of mutual aid efforts via her campaign to support her local community. To me, thatās evidence that she can motivate others to accomplish broader goals. You canāt teach that. You can teach someone to write good legislation or hire people who can.
This is religion, except by comparison most organised religions have more rigorous beliefs than this. Nerds found their own toxic masculinity where they sniff their own farts and talk about how likely it is the computer would murder them
Had trouble sleeping my whole lifeā¦ until I started stimulants.
āOh no, not Bill Clintonā I say as I ready the trebuchet I specifically built to launch Bill Clinton into an active volcano.
āRodriguez said the woman is pregnant for a third time and asks the court to bar Coeytaux from mailing abortion pills to anyone.ā
I think they did unfortunately. Many of them donāt want women voting at all.
WHITEBOARD šØ šØ The only reason they can illegally gerrymander Ohio this year is years of lawlessness by a hyper-corrupt statehouse. Donāt ever let it me normalized. WATCH and RT

I got blocked for pointing this out.
I canāt even with Ohio Republicans right now and their Prenatal whatevertheshit bill. Voters said what they said when they voted for the repro freedom amendment, ding dongs.
This is one of my favorite struggle meals. Sage crisps up real nice in the air fryer or oven, if you want a crispy garnish next time.
This stuff really has the juice though. Been using it for almost 20 years now. Icy hot canāt touch this.
I definitely buy this from the local tack store. It truly is the best.

I think the cool thing about words is that they can have entirely different meanings depending on the context in which theyāre used.
Itās the last in the series, but I really enjoyed The Hydrogen Sonata!
Yes they are! I packed up many, many embryos to share when I was in his lab.
