RAS finally getting drugged is one of the great stories in modern biology, and almost nobody outside oncology understands why it's such a big deal. YOU'LL LEARN SOMETHING AWESOME TODAY. i am going to keep this as understandable (and simple) as i can. OPEN THE THREAD. 🧵

🚨SCOOP: Man filmed in Al Jazeera ‘intimidation’ mob is a serving Metropolitan Police officer @declassifiedUK has identified him as Special Constable David Soffer. He was filmed calling a Palestinian journalist a "dog" and telling him to "go back to Qatar".

Just a reminder that DOGE failed at every possible level: * At the micro level, they misread, misled and straight up lied about many of the 'savings'. They'd announce '500m saved!' and it would be some contract where the money was 98% already spent and already wasn't being renewed. * At the macro level, they didn't impact spending at all. The government spent more in 2025 than 2024. * At the institutional level, they didn't even convince the GOP that deficits are a problem worth caring about. The GOP only signature bill in 2025 exploded the deficit by trillions of dollars. * At a personal level, Elon got run out of town with his tail between his legs. The most notable public facts about the Cracked Coders are that one of them was a mini-Hitler, one was called 'big balls', and none of them bothered to learn how the government actually works before they set it on fire. They gutted a bunch of important institutions, fired whole departments at random, decimated medical research funding, killed millions of people dependent on USAID, and still failed at every possible level.

This is a technical story with stunning strategic implications. It is quite possible the US launched a massive war because Jared Kushner and Steve Witkoff lacked the technical expertise to even understand what the Iranians were offering in negotiations. Absolute idiocy. ms.now/news/trump-iran-nucle…

I asked grok for a breakdown of why it gets it wrong, it explained all the details. It's basically like a human glancing at what they think is a photo they have seen many times, they become convinced they saw the same image and cease looking at details. grok.com/share/bGVnYWN5LWNvc…

"bets made among the staff over which detainee would be next to die by suicide."

Per this investigation, the girls' school in Iran was chosen deliberately: aljazeera.com/news/2026/3/3/… And it was a "double-tap" targeting survivors and rescue workers as well: middleeasteye.net/news/exclu…

This paragraph from Carl Jung hits so hard. “The world is full of people suffering from the effects of their own unlived life. They become bitter, critical, or rigid, not because the world is cruel to them, but because they have betrayed their own inner possibilities. The artist who never makes art becomes cynical about those who do. The lover who never risks loving mocks romance. The thinker who never commits to a philosophy sneers at belief itself. And yet, all of them suffer, because deep down they know: the life they mock is the life they were meant to live.”

Al Jazeera investigation raises fundamental questions over deadliest single attack of US-Israeli war on Iran that killed 165 schoolgirls and staff. The findings reveal school separate from adjacent military site and questions the air attack pattern aje.news/9ni8de

A heartbreaking story which shows just what kind of man Donald Trump is. Show this to anyone that believes Trump stands for Americans.

If there is something you don’t understand about Tourette’s just ask me.

At this juncture you people are trolling a man with a disability, open and shut. He spent his formative years apologising for something not in his gift to stop. Do you understand how damaging that is to the psyche? Apologising day in, day out for having no malice or malintent? It plays on the mind and John has spoken candidly about his suicidal ideation because of that. The 2 beautiful black men who, yes, were stunned, are also intelligent enough, inquisitive enough to have read John's statement which is sincere. But to apologise for a disability raises so many questions that John deliberately, through his campaigning, documentaries and film tries to answer. If he apologises, what is he apologising for? Something he has no control over? A verifiable, medical industry diagnosed condition? We are going down a rabbit hole if the disabled have to apologise for being. The 2 actors are black men, a cohort of humanity who literally were told to apologise for attempting to go into a school or ride a bus but because brave campaigners fought for the right not to be "other", segregation no longer is a legal reality. So instead of outlets like yours quoting "outrage and disgust" from "sources close to the actors", maybe in good time we'll hear from them, in context and in clarity. The only wiggle room anyone has morally when arguing for an apology is courtesy. That John choses to call the men and informally explain his condition, the scenario on the night ( stressful for a Tourettes sufferer) and offers just a personal "I hope you understand". A common courtesy many would agree with. But be under no illusion, John needs not to apologise for his disability and any explanation of his condition to anyone offended by words he involuntarily said should be his choice, in his time and in tne basis that he can not ( UK law backs this up) be blamed for an involuntary act. Your headline and desperate need for this to be about racism when in fact it is about disability and the grey area of involuntary act meeting understandable offence, an area that if outlets like you took the heat out of the situation would more than likely happen between the 3 men.

Today let's try to be a bit more understanding and not criticise our American brethren for spontaneously ejaculating gibberish that some find offensive. They have American Syndrome and it's involuntary.

Posting this in the unlikely event that anyone painting Tourette's Syndrome as racism might actually care to educate themselves on this condition. Tourettes: I Swear I Can't Help It (Documentary) 2009 youtube.com/watch?v=HAsYNU9n…

Happy President's Day to all, including the so-called "President" who thinks Wind Turbines cause Cancer but Coal Smoke is a Health Food. What a Guy! We no longer have Clean Air Protections, EPA Scientists with Jobs, or any Plan whatsoever for the Worst Wildfires, Hurricanes, and Floods this Country has ever seen — but don't worry, the Oil Executives are doing GREAT. Record Profits! Very Happy People, the Oil People. They Love You, Sir, and you Love their Checks. A Beautiful Relationship, really. We pulled out of the Paris Climate Agreement not Once but TWICE because apparently Embarrassing ourselves in front of the Entire World never gets old. Every other Nation on Earth signed it — even Countries that can barely keep the Lights on — but WE couldn't handle it. Too Tough! Too Scary! Meanwhile the Oceans are Rising, the Coral is Dying, and your Solution is to Drill, Baby, Drill like it's 1952 and Science hasn't been Invented yet. You rolled back over 100 Environmental Protections — More Rollbacks than a Walmart on Black Friday — Exposed our Kids to more Pollution, Poisoned our Waterways, and handed Public Lands to your Donor Buddies so they could Dig Holes and Make Money while the Planet Burns. But at least you drew on that Hurricane Map with a Sharpie. Very Presidential! Very Scientific! On this President's Day, we honor the Presidents who actually Planted Trees instead of Burning them for Content. You are the Worst Environmental President in History, and the Planet will be Paying for your Stupidity long after you have Eaten your Last Well-Done Steak with Ketchup. Sad! Mother Nature

You just told a meteorologist that CO₂ doesn't absorb energy. That is the single most embarrassing thing I have ever read on this platform. CO₂ doesn't need albedo. Nobody who passed Atmospheric Physics would even say that. Albedo is the reflectivity of a surface to incoming shortwave solar radiation. That's not how greenhouse gases work. At all. Here's what my degree taught me and yours didn't: CO₂ absorbs and re-emits longwave infrared radiation - the heat energy the Earth's surface radiates back toward space. It does this at very specific wavelength bands, primarily around 15 micrometers. This has been measured in laboratories since John Tyndall proved it in 1859. It has been measured by satellites. It has been measured from the surface looking up. The absorption spectrum of CO₂ is not debated. It is not political. It is physics. You can reproduce it with a spectrometer and a gas cell in an undergraduate lab. You just confused shortwave radiation with longwave radiation - the most basic distinction in radiative transfer. That's week two of Atmospheric Thermodynamics. A class you never took because your degree didn't require it. You don't know the difference between albedo and molecular absorption. You don't know the difference between solar radiation and terrestrial radiation. And you're calling me a fraud. I didn't just study this. I can write the equations. Can you even name one? Do better. Try harder. Or better yet, take a physics class.

Of course it can. You chose misery instead by using your money to be a malanthropist blight on humanity, hated by everyone except bots and sycophants. Your best path to happiness is to redeem yourself and hope you're forgiven.

The best thing about nobody buying tickets to Melania is you can just make up stuff that happens in the movie and people will believe you. My favorite part is when she throws up in her purse after the hot dog eating contest

This is a lie. Even if I had ordered this, the MPLS police department would never follow an order from me. Do better. Go fuck a couch.
