Suddenly obsessed with thinking about what @maxotunes could do with Rainbow Road (Super Mario Kart, 1992)

@anthony_berndt @plasmidsaurus I mean let's be real they're DNA damage

@anthony_berndt @plasmidsaurus Haha whoops, no, read the search snippet too quickly. Marketing of a mutant that reads dU implies wild type does not!

It me

Is de-extinction actually a thing just because synthetic biologists want to screw around and make weird animals and this way they can pass it off as totally fine and normal and not worrying?

RT @whatcatsdid:

@jenheemstra 1 doesn't sound too bad, is it really long or something? jk jk

@anthony_berndt It's interesting to me how many assays work in this way: sure you can find out the answer, so long as you basically already know what it is

@markwbudde TGA people... ...are you ok?

@_telebasher In the gaming, the gaming gamer, the gamer games at night

@Spiffypip @RichardHanania Are you suggesting the incidence of schizophrenia would be different between people of similar ages who go on to a PhD vs stop at a master's (the matched cohorts)?

@SynBio1 No glycan antigens on the bacon, I assume?

Dance like nobody's watching; review like you're speaking directly to a researcher in training

@rsnous Seems related to "nerdview" a la 99% Invisible. The designer could be tempted to encapsulate because that would reflect some underlying organization in the code (the expert implementation). But the user always sees a seamless whole. That's what should be designed for

@sciliz @aanvigneron @PopulismUpdates Relatedly: I would support outlawing employer sponsored health insurance (worst case, they have to pay you enough that you can buy open market insurance plans; best case, public option)

@maggiekb1 @LtGovFlanagan (sorry I'm not in a position of authority)

Pretty happy that when my 2nd grader tries to think of an example of "something bad that could happen at school" the only thing she can think of is "bandits"
