Last image from tonight (short film in the morning): this brother out here with his Singer sewing machine, gifting people a custom embroidery on their jerseys and hats with the name and the date, was more artistic than anything at Burning Man and ad gorgeous as a Caravaggio.
Magic!
Goodnight.
Great to see our review of axon branching in the cortex featured on the cover of this months issue of

Glowing reviews? Apartments that will make your friends green with envy?
1. This article has made waves. I have tried to push Mayor Mamdani to be better in my reporting, and I am sad that it has not worked. I have seen many questions about this story, and I want to talk about some of them.
Read on.
The hill I will die on:
Women say "like," "um," and "err," so frequently, because when there is the slightest pause in their speech, they are interrupted by men, and don't get the floor back to speak.🤷🏿♂️
So people that are frequently interrupted tend to use more verbal fillers.
Let women speak.

It's always fun & enlightening to watch @mekka.mekka-tech.com do their thing. A masterclass in bringing facts to bear in the comments here.
I’m very excited to share that I’ll be opening my lab and starting as a tenure track assistant professor and Simons Empire Faculty Fellow in the Department of Biological Sciences at University at Albany (SUNY) this Fall 2026.

This perspective piece reviews new omics, developmental genetic, and cell lineage studies to critically review current models of developing forebrain organization. Spoiler: there are _serious_ problems with the prosomere model.

Junk speak, like junk food, encourages verbal littering. It has to be one of the worst things about life in Britain, says author Louis de Bernières

1. In a move that is likely to be seen as capitulation to Trump, EITM can confirm that Mamdani's first ever trans direct care clinic will deny care to those under 19 years of age, the age from Trump's anti-trans EOs.
It is a far cry from his pledge to "use every tool" to fight capitulation.

Periodic reminder that the vast majority of all gender affirming surgery done on minors in the US is "gyno correction." That means removing breast tissue from cis boys, usually football players, that didn't feel manly enough to compete with dudes like me, took steroids, and accidentally grew titties
The Guardian
The NYC Health Spokesperson confirmed with Erin In The Morning that trans youth will not be offered care.
Talarico saying he's against "gender reassignment surgery for minors" to lots of nodding and impressed gestures from the Barro/Yglesias crowd and a lot of the politics press is, I think, a great example of how much the well has been poisoned on trans healthcare
