Scientists are often encouraged to remain “neutral” on social and political issues as if the conditions under which science is conducted, funded, and applied are somehow separate from politics and the state of the world around us. They aren’t.

I understand that a lot of folks have been misled by fear-mongering and powerful regressive voices but it’s still astonishing to me that so many have fallen for the idea that oppressively policing other people’s gender identity and expression could in any way be part of an enlightened future.

The CMEs from AR 4299 and AR 4294 are seen here in GOES-19 SUVI 284 Å. This filter shows EUV blastwaves well, but none are visible here. Flare intensity peaked at M1.24. It doesn't look like much material escaped the solar atmosphere...

this is similar to what I've come to think of as the "reverse turing test"
when people find synthetic text is "good enough" to complete a task (homework, business report, email) it doesn't mean the machine is smart. it means they were asked to produce something that didn't matter
it's diagnostic
