In London 2009, Gary Numan made a surprise appearance with NIN to play Numan's "Metal" & "Cars." I filmed it in one unbroken shot from the middle of the stage with a handheld DSLR.
Here's the full video, savor the Dudes Rock energy of two legends doing a big mutual respect ("Cars" starts at 6:38):
@icmcsic.bsky.social team has deployed aquarium-grown sponge fragments into fishery no-take zones to help restore human-impacted deep-sea soft-sediment habitats. Monitored with a @niozsearesearch.bsky.social lander, we’ll track survival, growth, and biodiversity!
for the UK-based, a rad (and paid) opportunity to step into the @dsbsoc.bsky.social trustee board as a consultant. Come join!
“…14 agencies lost roughly three times more of these experts in 2025 than in 2024, with the highest percent increase in departures at the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration, the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA), and the U.S. Forest Service (USFS).”

"If there's not justice for the people, let there be no peace for the government."
crowd of people outside in the snow w/ electronic candles listening to a speaker
crowd of people outside the concrete monolith that is the US embassy in Sthlm (whistles, fuck-you’s, signs, etc not pictured)
anti-ICE vigil yesterday outside the US embassy here in Sthlm. No good words for the anger but chinga la migra & fuck ICE/CBP/DHS/etc/etc work as good as any.
mad clear the difference of a mild -5C here & the -29C from those days in MN.
In solidarity with all those standing up for our communities against the brutality of immigrant detention and ICE occupation, we're offering free ebooks of three crucial books about migrant justice and border abolition.
We’ve also added a list of additional recommended reading:
There is no viable path forward that does not include dissolving the Department of Homeland Security.
Cabinet-level department for joint FEMA/Coast Guard/Climate Readiness agencies. All other agencies absorbed into their original departments. Abolish ICE.
Thank you to everyone who is risking their safety and contributing their time and money to protect our neighbors. If you are so inclined, please check out Stand With Minnesota (standwithminnesota.com) to find a way to help.
And no one start any beefs with Will Stancil. (2/2)
It’s -9 degrees. Downtown Minneapolis is packed for the anti-ICE rally and the crowd keeps growing
If ICE is now training new officers that they can forcibly enter residences based on an administrative warrant, "more training" is not the solution to our ICE problems.
NSF building on Eisenhower Av. HUD now owns.
Destroying the NSF mural in the foyer. Of the Eisenhower building.
The National Science Foundation sign on our Eisenhower Av building is now gone.
The NSF mural in the foyer is removed and torn off in sheets.
We were supposed to celebrate the 75th anniversary of the agency in May 2025. That never happened.
Listen up! Here’s the Banned (from the USA) Bands play list, in alphabetical order by country.

You in contact with any folks in the otolith collections @ NOAA? Wonder if someone on that end could put in a sampling request for you.
If the hardcore band's bassist looks like this, you're gonna die in that pit
Can’t speak on the others, but remember some allegations made against Uyarakq on Twitter a while back - guessing related to that. Otherwise this is a really rad playlist.
With the redirection of climate.gov to a politically directed web page we lost access to a lot of historical information, such as the CO2 concentration time series. But now, the team from www.climate.us will make that data accessible again. Follow @climate.us for the updates!!

You look into CASP3 (and/or CASP8 for external signaling/TNFs) or are they too temp. sensitive for what you need? Otherwise off top of head LDH or SOD1/SODC could be candidates (although last for oxidative stress, not apoptosis)

Oh man, that one was sick. We had another rad shirt that year in his course: bright teal “Send Nudes” text surrounded by nudibranchs. Still mourning the loss of that one.
Happy to share my latest work with Ulf Jondelius. It was a blast to be involved in this project, the last one I was leading during my time at Naturhistoriska.
Awesome to see, congrats!!

HMMER is literally *the* go-to tool for profile HMMs in bioinformatics. I've used it countless times on a wide range of projects spanning viruses, retrotransposons, etc. Absolute insanity! hmmer.org
What if the #InternationalSeabedAuthority stopped paving the way for #DeepSeaMining and started championing science, equity, and ocean protection instead?
A new report lays out exactly that vision.
The deep sea isn’t a mine. It’s a shared legacy.
