My hot take: we as a society don’t challenge people enough on facts and it’s metastasized.

Political tension in the family? You’ll be told, “Oh, don’t let “politics” get in the way of relationships - avoid it!”

Sorry, no. Politics is personal. Speak up. Do it with humility, but insist on facts.

So I fired my bathroom scale. Next I'm gonna fire the nutritional label on a pint of ice cream.

There's more

I use Sp0tify free version, purely to generate the end of year Wrapped statistics because I love that nerdy shit. So I play my physical albums, or I play my mp3 songs/albums on iTunes (!!) but whatever I listen to, I queue up on Sp0tify free with the volume down, and "play" it all there too, muted, for an as accurate-as-possible year end summary of my listening habits.

This one comment on AMG's recent Sp0tify article really messed me up. Playing every album digitally on mute to match your physical media listening for the end of year "Wrapped" statistics is wild ass behavior.

King of research waste complains of research waste.

La haine et véhémence de mes harceleurs (qui prouvent malgré le point exact de l'article) est l'un des premiers moteurs de:
- ma motivation à ne pas flancher face à la mauvaise science
- mais aussi de la réussite de cet article (nature.com/articles/d41...) 🤣
Changez rien :)

Research-integrity sleuths say their work is being ‘twisted’ to undermine science Some sleuths fear that the business of cleaning up flawed studies is being weaponized against science itself.

“It’s the people who are contaminating the literature, and the journals and institutions that are not taking adequate responses” who are undermining science, says Sanders. “Not the people who are authentically digging up problems in the scientific literature.” www.nature.com/articles/d41...

i CANNOT stop watching this

I want this MDPI cup. If you know how I can get my hands on one, please DM me!

Only even numbers in this table. I think it's impossible for a real population to have this distribution over subgroups.

One of the better Cannibal Corpse albums. Love it when a band still write great music so late in their career!

Never knew Britain was besieged by so many octogenarian terrorists who demand children not be starved and slaughtered.
What is the world coming to?

when i'm asked to review the revised version

Ethereal Emanations From Chthonic Caries, by Abraded 9 track album

@pvdp.bsky.social
Yo! Deze gehoord?

Hey Harmony. Thank you for your response. You can choose to ignore everything you want on the internet.

Because it's there to give more context and explanation. I asked where it gets its info from, so it's up to you now to either accept it or reject it.

I then asked some more questions regarding Science Guardian's supporters and credibility of their platform.

GROK is pretty clear here. See for yourself.

4/4

I then asked whether GROK was able to answer questions on complex stuff like research integrity issues.

In short: yes

3/?

First I asked GROK about the legality of those accusations and whether it can be seen as online harassment.

In short: no harassment, possibly defamation.

2/?

Science Guardians posted again on X.

They made some pretty wild accusations against a journalist, so I asked X's LLM GROK some questions.

1/?

Read the SG post here: x.com/SciGuardians...

I appreciate the effort by S, but he's out of his depth here.

Another day, another retraction.

H/T to Hoya for informing me, as always.
