6th in the pack (!) but I'm not sure they have the Jaye scratch listed yet.
I have seen a lot of cursed stuff in my time in academia but this is among the *most* cursed.
Grammarly is generating miniature LLMs based on academic work so that users can have their writing ‘reviewed’ by experts like David Abulafia, who died less than two months ago.

4x the search traffic for the species after being included in MMM than when it was covered in the NYT, CBS, NPR, etc.
But can we talk about that "Bone Collector Caterpillar" March Mammal Madness bump? #GoogleSearchTrends #DustsShouldersOff #2026MMM
20th in the pack? This is my best start in Fantasy Mushing ever #uglydogs

I finally got my hoodie today! I had completely written it off

This is a lie and should not be spread.
Renee Good has a wife, who was, horrifically, in the car with her when she was executed by the government.
It is flatly untrue to assert that child has no one else in his life.
If you're truly worried about it, I would ask your IT department to invest in a quieter keyboard for you. But that's a weird thing for people to be mad at you about.
I grew up with one with the arm too!

Please cancel my free 7-day trial of 2026.

I often show this vid to classes. #8 was where I first heard about cells that go left bc of the centriole

Ooh, another example of "handedness" or orientation of centrioles
You know what? This year has actually gotten off to a pretty low-key, no breaking news, stress-free start wait nevermind
Hey I don't think you should use a website that generates CSAM on demand
Professors and teachers: Consider assigning your students some of the many AI-related suicide/murder court documents. I'm going to in my creative writing courses. This could be relevant material in any classroom in which you think AI is a factor. Which is to say, all of them.

The come back of pertussis and Measles is only the beginning of the resurgence of preventable infectious diseases in the US. This has been one of the biggest public health failures of 2025 and the competition is tough.

During one interview, the student admitted that she merely looked at the topic and then rushed together a response based on her personal feelings regarding a tangential issue that was the main thesis of the assigned article, because she was in a hurry to go see a play that evening with her friend.
This is liver failure in a bottle
We need more holidays that smell like wood products.
This is true and I was the only one on set excited about it (and playing the song on my phone to blank stares)
