We join the call for a physical + digital ceasefire, urging governments that enable or ignore the dehumanization of the people of Gaza, and tech platforms that silence Palestinian voices while hateful disinformation proliferates, to change course and join the call.

it's in a cathedral! The production is just so far ahead of many other sports it almost feels like flex.


Last year we released a statement in which we said we will continue “to monitor changes at Twitter in conjunction with internal discussions about whether our presence on the platform will continue.”

We now announce that as of today, 20 October 2023, all our #socialmedia engagements will be from this Mastodon account, as well as LinkedIn and YouTube, and none from our 5 #Twitter / X accounts.

Find out about these changes and more here: carpentries.org/blog/2023/10/a…

Estonia's capital made mass transit free a decade ago. Transit traffic went up but car traffic increased faster. "Any extra money should be put toward transit service, and not zero fares." fastcompany.com/90968891/eston…
in reply to kottke.org

Excerpt from the article on why: ”The local leaders I met offered several explanations for the underwhelming response to free fares. The first is that Estonia’s growing wealth prompted a surge of car purchases and reduced residents’ desire to ride even free buses and trams. Economists often cite transit as an example of an inferior good: a product that holds less appeal when people become wealthier (as was certainly the case in Estonia during the past decade). Automobiles, on the other hand, are often prized possessions for those whose income has risen. Estonians in 2021 owned 621 cars for every 1,000 people, an increase of 12.5% from 2017 and more than all but four other European Union countries.”

More reasons in the article. Interesting read!

Sugar causes all sorts of health problems, but hyperactivity isn’t one of them.

My own 6yo sugar expert made his PBS debut in this episode of Serving Up Science where I break down the #science behind a popular myth about the sweet stuff. youtu.be/TlHOLk-tV7g?si=bj7N6y…

in reply to Sheril Kirshenbaum

This is irresponsible and unscientific.

Just because you found mixed results from historic studies doesn't prove there's no impact. You have done nothing to explain the metabolic chemistry involved here.

In persons with a healthy glucose metabolism (young children, athletes, keto diet) insulin response and glucose uptake are FAST and do result in a 'rush' feeling. In persons who have been overexposed to sugar, the insulin response and following uptake has become SLOW and no longer results in a 'rush' feeling. This is obvious to anyone who understands cellular glucose metabolism and observable to anyone with a healthy metabolism.

in reply to Sheril Kirshenbaum

Any findings in your literature search about artificial dyes and hyperactivity or similar responses? The EU has started labeling such foods as: “may have an effect on activity and attention in children”.
