Ehh it's confusing but only annoying if I intend to go see what most of the references are

It would imply to me that they don't use a reference manager. It'd also be shorter to write [1-6,17-19] so on a proposal especially that's just a poor use of space.

"Indifference is the epitome of evil." / „We must take sides. Neutrality helps the oppressor, never the victim. Silence encourages the tormentor, never the tormented."

OMG. They cannot have NOT known the literal most famous headline from The Onion.

In a new paper published earlier this year in the Journal of Marketing, we uncovered a surprising pattern: The more knowledge people have about AI and how it works, the less likely they are to embrace it.

I use it every time I park next to the cart return stall at the grocery store since I'm convinced it makes my car less likely to be dented from stray carts

Ok everyone, am I reading this right? From NASA Roses 2025 - Solar System Science section, it looks like the Scientific Technical Management section is now limited to a 5 page proposal?

Thank goodness I didn't write the full thing yet.

I would probably have all three, as long as they're the extended editions

A trans woman, forced to compete against men, swims topless in protest Anne Isabella Coombes stood up to Swim England's gender policies in an innovative way.

"I asked them what costume I was supposed to wear, as there are rules around how much fabric can be on your body," Coombes told the Reading Chronicle. "They confirmed that I need to wear a female swimming costume despite having to compete with the men." www.advocate.com/news/trans-w...

Yet again, Adeene manages to encapsulate my thoughts in a more coherent and clear way than I could probably have done myself. Thank you for writing this, Adeene, and everyone else please read!

A Hater’s Guide to Life on Mars Colonizing Mars is bullshit.

met a neuroscientist who trained an LLM on thousands of parables and was stunned by its capacity to interpret. no human could have done it, they said. a lot of ai amazement is people brushing against the humanities, being unable to imagine the scope of our work, the time it takes, the skills we have

“The Democratic controlled cities of Salt Lake City and Boise adopted new city flags this week showing support for LGBTQ+ people in defiance of their states’ Republican-controlled Legislatures, which have banned traditional rainbow pride flags at schools and government buildings.“

Are you protective of the doctors that have come after you, having seen what Jodie Whittaker and Gatwa faced? These debates – and it’s not even a debate, it’s a small clutch of people shouting very loudly, amplified by certain elements of the press – are not reflective of what most people feel. Things become ludicrously disproportionate, and end up being unnecessarily cruel. That’s what the trans debate seems to have become. Most people don’t give a shit. I genuinely believe most people just want to let people be themselves. All they’re doing is making a tiny portion of society who have a really tough time anyway have an even tougher time.

I do love David Tennant and his response to this question in the Guardian today.

Most celebrities: can't be damned to even talk about defending trans people

David Tennant: turns a question that doesn't mention trans folks once into a clear, decisive message of support and explaining the true machine behind our current oppression

I can’t fathom how someone thought this was a good idea.

LPI received *no* direction to remove these abstracts/reports; they preemptively complied. Then LPI audaciously claims they didn’t delete content; they just hid it. In a digital world, what’s the difference?

Shameful.

On a personal level, I appreciate it because I have a lot of the same sentiments and yet often don't know how to express or articulate them very well. So I really appreciate you being able to put words to the things I find important too ❤️

This is a beautiful essay, thank you for writing & sharing!

NYT headline: “Kennedy Advises New Parents to ‘Do Your Own Research’ on Vaccines” Subheader: “In an interview with Dr. Phil, the health secretary offered false information about vaccine oversight and revealed a lack of basic understanding of new drug approvals.”

“And I’m like, what do you mean, you ‘do your own research’? You running a double-blind study in your living room, dawg?”

The US science community relies on a massive network of post-bacs, graduate students, and post-docs, many of whom are foreign nationals. We train these students and in return we get a ginormous scientific output that makes us a stronger nation - BUT this system is now under attack. (1)

I like paying taxes. Genuinely. Not grudgingly. I can’t pave a road, I can’t build and staff a hospital. $200 in my pocket won’t pay for my kid’s daycare but if we all pool our money it might. I really wish someone on the left would be brave enough to be like, “Taxes are good, actually.”
