'“We’re not blaming God for this,” said 35-year-old Kristina. “Yes, it hurts, of course, it hurts. But God has chosen Ethan for a reason. God is doing something, and we're gonna glorify his name regardless."'
Weird that god just wanted to give some poor kid brain damage but ok.

I wrote a review of Solar Cycle 25 predictions here: doi.org/10.3847/2515... Predictions were, as you say, not good.

Weird how they're never releasing lists of diseases cured by AI or landfills cleaned by AI

BBC article reading: "No signs of any jeopardy for Starmer. ​One Labour MP, who is often critical of the prime minister, texts from inside: “If we could bottle this Keir and show it to the country we’ll walk [the next general election]." There are several noisy rounds of applause we can hear. No signs for now at least of any jeopardy for the prime minister tonight."

Delusional. The only place they're walking is into the bin. This genocidal labour party is now polling lower than they ever did for the 2015, 2017 and 2019 elections. Keir Starmer and his cabinet are going to be trounced in the next one (assuming they survive until then), and they deserve to be.

'Pwease I'm just a smol landlord, I only do a little exploitation...' Best bit: "What happens to me when I can no longer afford to run these buildings?" You stop being a parasite and you get a real job...

*Another* Epstein with horrible opinions?

I can't wait to "meet and revisit with some- our great courageous leaders". Imagine recording this and being like 'yeah, that take will do.'

"members" plural? Yikes...

I get plenty of this sort of predatory publishing nonsense in my inbox but this is the first time I've received one from a top 1% university. Can you not?

Worse, I'm not even sure that their conclusions were wrong... The journal could have simply allowed the authors to publish a correction/revision tuning up the language. They already published the critiques and authors' responses so why not let readers use their 🧠 and come to their own conclusions?

Pleased to have been quoted by author @jeffvandermeer.bsky.social in this new article on cryptozoology for @orionmagazine.bsky.social. Check it out!

Love this, Jeff. Thanks for quoting me in the article! 😺

Disclosure: I've been a proponent of tobacco harm reduction since 2019, and work as a Scientist & Data Analyst at Pinney Associates, a pharmaceutical & consumer healthcare consulting company. I provide consulting services on harm reduction to Juul Labs, which had no involvement in this unfunded work

... But not before it had been read thousands of times and cited dozens of times, including by state public health authorities. Sadly, the literature is rife with precisely this sort of shoddy work. We describe the methodological errors in the retracted paper here: pubpeer.com/publications...

Does e-cigarette use cause stroke? ~2 years ago, Gal Cohen & I alerted MDPI to fatal flaws in a published paper which claimed nicotine vaping causes stroke. This morning, the journal finally retracted the flawed article: doi.org/10.3390/neur... ... #tobaccocontrol #harmreduction #statistics

Ozzy and Sharon Osbourne Were Married Four Decades. One Night Nearly Ended It All The singer’s sobriety struggles culminated in a violent 1989 confrontation with Sharon, resulting in his arrest for attempted murder.

Reminder that he attempted to murder his wife, which everyone seems to have forgotten because some of his music is good: www.biography.com/celebrities/...

Zero points out of 25 was generous for this hogwash.

i expect everyone on this website will react very normally to this good news

I believe these were Amendments to the 'Organisational Strategy' document. To be honest I don't see why we need four different documents when they could all be rolled into one, but hey-ho... Onwards and upwards!

Results are in: A vast majority (including myself) voted in favour of trans liberation and anti-oppression, so that the party does now explicitly support trans rights 🥳

As I said, the membership will decide who stays and who goes after the stewardship process...
