Today in "a real thing in the world" the thelyphonida or whip scorpions or "vinegaroons." They're neat, and shoot acetic acid with their butts! They're also a rare arthropod example of consensual courtship and sex. sydkab.com/tag/thelyphoni…
They also mother their young!

What is "essential" in a genome? A good article, with links to primary sources. A complicated question even before you step out of the lab and into varying real life conditions. quantamagazine.org/how-many-genes…
Yeast are also an interesting model organism for this because yeast tend to lose genes that they don't need. So, while we have an "essential" (without it they die) map, the "the yeast thinks its important" map is the whole genome.
Figuring out why, and how the "less important" genes link into the larger network for possibly outsized effects when paired with others could be very enlightening to understanding more complex eukaryotic systems.

I was not a JAG, but if one of my Soldiers asked me I would have said that hats explicitly made for a political campaign were a really good way to get yourself in trouble with the UCMJ. thehill.com/homenews/admin…
The AF has said that they think there was nothing untoward. This is excellent news for the Servicemembers who met with the POTUS! I'm happy for them. Whatever your political leaning, meeting the POTUS is a big deal. military.com/daily-news/201…
I would STILL advise my Soldiers the same. No matter my political leanings, or who the president was. You never know when the layers above you will go high and right, and it's always better to play it safe.

A good series of articles from @washingtonpost on how incredibly non-scientific and skeazy Zinke has made the DoI. Some of this is new, though we knew that they'd already decided Bears Ear before the "study" washingtonpost.com/national/healt…

Today in pulp I'm looking back at the wonderful world of Olivetti!
Founded in 1908 Olivetti soon came to the fore as a typewriter manufacturer, before expanding into other products in the 1950s and 60s.
But what set Olivetti apart was its incredible focus on design as well as engineering: architects, graphic artists, printers and scientists worked side by side to develop the best products they could.

The YouTube algorithm that I helped build in 2011 still recommends the flat earth theory by the *hundreds of millions*. This investigation by @RawStory shows some of the real-life consequences of this badly designed AI.
This spring at SxSW, @SusanWojcicki promised "Wikipedia snippets" on debated videos. But they didn't put them on flat earth videos, and instead @YouTube is promoting merchandising such as "NASA lies - Never Trust a Snake". 2/
A few example of flat earth videos that were promoted by YouTube #today:

Today, let's make a case for kindness as an intractable part of our sex lives as human beings. Why, you ask?
- wellness is almost impossible without it, and
- lack of kindness is the root/a significant part of the root of SO much pain in our sexual lives.
Leggo. /Thread
One definition of kindness combines several qualities: friendliness, generosity and considerateness, which can be the first antidote for ALL of the shame about sex we internalise, carry around and use to build our fragile moralities.
A lot of the things we first hear about sex come from places of fear, anger and avoidance from our parents, speculation, uncertainty, mockery or scorn from older siblings or friends, fire and brimstone from religion (especially for women/queer folk), etc.

#Today's story to #EndFamilySeparation Four months ago, Dad and 4-month-old entered at the Texas/Mexico border and requested #asylum. Dad and child were immediately separated and the baby put in ORR custody. #FamiliesBelongTogether
Dad was detained in a #Texas detention center where @RAICESTEXAS consulted. Dad accepted a deportation to be quickly reunited w/ his infant child. However, the Dad was deported & NOT his child. The now 8-month-old baby has been in ORR custody for 4 months. #EndFamilySeparation
The Mom and Dad now have once weekly Skype calls with their 8-month-old baby. That's right, folks. They Skype with an infant. #EndFamilySeparation #FamiliesBelongTogether

Today is the 87th birthday of George Fernandes, an iconic politician, rebel, who has all but been forgotten.From a fiery trade union leader to a rebel during Emergency to Union Minister, George Fernandes traveled a long way in life.
George Fernandes has been one of the most iconic political leaders in India. Catholic from Mangalore, who represented Muzaffarpur in Bihar 4 times, an anti nuke activist who presided over Pokhran 1, a pacifist who went on to become one of the best Defense Ministers ever.
Born in Mangalore, to an insurance executive, George Fernandes was sent for training as a Roman Catholic priest when he was just 16. Frustrated with what he saw as double standards and hypocrisy in the Church, he left the seminary.
