The U.S. spends $150B a year on policing. 90% goes to labor. Labor doesn’t scale. Othram’s genomic DNA tech does. We’re solving murders in weeks, not decades... for pennies on the dollar. Sadly, law enforcement isn’t using it at scale yet. 600 examples: othram.com/recent_casewor…


I love @SeaportFerry - a scenic & reliable component to my commute But a 5 minute error in the in-app schedule and the actual departure time really requires immediate repair. That’s not shipshape!

Crazy people on X are bashing Indian immigrants, but my new research published today finds that Indians are the best major country of origin group of immigrants. The average Indian immigrant and his or her descendants will save the federal government $1.7 million over 30 years.

The much-discussed H-1B visa is the best single visa type in terms of economic impact, with an average H-1B visa holder reducing the debt by $2.3 million over 30 years and expanding GDP by $500,000.

Genuinely scary how many people have become convinced overnight to claim fentanyl comes into the US due to Venezuela, even though Venezuela has basically nothing to do with the entrance of fentanyl into the US, as US Govt reports make clear. Frighteningly easy to sell new wars:

Because fentanyl is killing tens of thousands of Americans a year and a lot of the terrorists pumping that crap in our country either reside or do business there!!

For obvious reasons, I've become fascinated with retrotransposons. So we (Alex Whiteley and I) wrote an article now out in @NeuroCellPress on how we think retrotransposons influence brain function and health! sciencedirect.com/science/articl…

Consistent and robust funding for the health sciences is the biggest opportunity in human history If you thought sewers, water treatment, antibiotics, and vaccines were cool, just thinking about all the other not-dying things biology can do for you Edgelords like Adam are sad

Unlocking longevity is the biggest opportunity in human history. By far.

This is how Orban killed the free press in Hungary without officially having to kill freedom of speech: forcing media companies to be sold to friendly billionaires who happily them into propaganda machines

SCOOP: A Trump official tells @nypost that the administration favors Paramount Skydance to buy Warner Bros. Discovery – and a number of rival bidders are likely to face stiff hurdles from US regulators in the blockbuster auction. “Who owns Warner Bros. Discovery is very important…

Here’s the original clip of Ronald Reagan from April 25, 1987, where he delivered a complete and total rebuke against tariffs. Trump is calling Reagan’s words in this video “FAKE” and “fraudulent.” They’re 100% real. And the original clip is actually far worse for Trump, as much…

Friday Flower 008: Tulip 🌷 Tulip’s pastel colors and waxy cuticle that scatters light give them a soft watercolor look. The “broken” petals of Semper Augustus, created by a virus, became some of the most famous and valuable flowers in history... and their genome is 34Gb 🤯
