in reply to Sheril Kirshenbaum

I'm beyond saddened.

This can be stopped. People can come together to stop this from getting worse. God, I hope it will be.




This a prediction from the 1950s is amazing. But I think it also shows some of the limitations of our predictive powers, especially ever since technology went from a steady walk to falling into wormholes. Still, props to Mr. Sullivan!

I love how the headline also accurately turns Mr. Sullivan's utopia into the dystopia that it would become.




Vorsicht vor den immer mehr in "Mode"
kommenden "Skimpflation" Produkten.
Hier wird der Verbraucher massiv durch minderwertige Neurezepturen der Produkte zum gleichen, wie zuvor oder sogar noch höherem Preis, getäuscht.
Verbraucherzentrale warnt.
Solltet ihr den Ersatz Palmöl für das teurere Sonnenblumenöl stehen sehen, Finger weg vom Produkt und Hersteller anschreiben.
Palmöl tötet Tiere durch Rodung und lässt die wichtigen Urwälder noch mehr schrumpfen.

Lord grant me the incredible sense of entitlement to ask a democratically elected foreign government whether they’ve checked their humanitarian policies with their voters

Musk is a serious fucking global problem and it can get a lot worse before it gets better. Not sure how to rein him in now. But for damn sure don’t be giving him your patronage or money. Get the hell off Twitter, sell your Tesla, stop enabling him.


Highly social Northern muriquis have a stunning golden coat and are crucial for seed dispersal in #Brazil - yet they are now critically endangered by #palmoil and other threats. Fight for them and #Boycottpalmoil #Boycott4Wildlife @palmoildetectives palmoildetectives.com/2023/10/…

Important announcement. CONDIMENT COW

reshared this



Holy shit, this truly is cursed @BrodieOnLinux. I’m currently stuck learning scratch at the moment for an entry course before I can move on to Cybersecurity.

This will definitely be something I’ll want to show my lecturers.

in reply to Brodie Robertson

Nah, you're good. While I'm sure someone familiar or motivated enough could probably find out, I'd like to think I'm decent enough at providing just enough details to clarify without offering too much personally identifiable information.

The educational institution I'm at requires you to do an entry course that covers a number of topics before moving on to a specialization. Then one I'm on has me covering a wide range of subjects from photography, video editing, game design, and creating and evaluation software.

in reply to Eòlach

That makes sense, it seemed weird for a purely programming course to introduce concepts with Scratch, often you'll see languages like Python used instead

I thought it was weird that a picture on a NASA website was ©'d, but then I found out that the picture wasn't by NASA but by Maxime Daviron themself.


The Association of Internet Researchers has decided that we will ramp down our use of Twitter, effective immediately.

Instead, we are shifting our activity to Mastodon, where for a few months we have been running our very own server. 👏👍

This means that we will not be tweeting during the #AoIR2023 conference. Instead, we will be posting on AoIR’s Mastodon instance (aoir.social).

Membership of this instance is a benefit of AoIR membership. AoIR members have recently been sent an invite link; if you are not a member of AoIR, why not join and also get access to our online community?

Hello #Fediverse! We're a #vegan permaculture community on 136 hectares in #Ecuador.

We bought the land 9 years ago and have since planted hundreds of fruit trees (not including hundreds of bananas, 14 varieties!). The project was established to create the first open regenerative vegan intentional community in the tropics of South America.

Our community includes several long-term members and we welcome new volunteers, renters and interested members. If anyone would like to come and experience a 100% plant-based lifestyle and help us in our goals of sustainable and regenerative planting of fruit trees, please visit our website for more information and to apply to join us

Hello #ScienceMastodon Twitter refugees

#introduction I am a 🇫🇷 molecular & structural biologist working at the CNRS. I study the molecular mechanisms that control human gene expression focusing on #transcription factors & the Pol II machinery

Expect to see here a lot of info on #generegulation, #enhancers, #histone modifications & structural insights into the eukaryotic Transcription Initiation machinery. #CryoEM
I will also highlight #womeninscience to give them the visibility they deserve

Latest comic on a certain pundit's infamous $78 airport meal

(For those outside the US, the commentator David Brooks has made a career out of piously trolling liberals for their supposed decadence and lack of morals.)

in reply to Jen Sorensen

I would think such a proud defender of #capitalism would laud such a strong barrier to having to rub elbows with those too poor to afford such a meal.



Nice to be back #walking #rivers today even if it was a little overcast. River Teme.

“Imagination is more important than knowledge. For knowledge is limited, whereas imagination embraces the entire world, stimulating progress, giving birth to evolution. It is, strictly speaking, a real factor in scientific research.”

I am really happy that Quote Investigator says that he's quoted saying that in a Saturday Evening Post interview.

About 1 out of 10 quotes I check on are accurately attributed.

in reply to Sheril Kirshenbaum

He knew how to say things so well that makes the reader really think 🧠


'However journal-level metrics fail to identify up to 90% of the equally well-cited papers in the biomedical research literature, controlling for field and year of publication (4). In other words, the recall of the biomedical community’s chosen measure of meritorious papers is on the order of a dismal 10%'
