ChatGPT not only helped the kid with the planning but it also helped him correct the mistakes he made the first time so he'd get it right when he tried again.

There's no reason not to share data from a systematic literature review, other than cowardice.

I’m over the whole β€œXXX is just a stunt to distract for YYY…” framing.

No it’s not. It’s *all* really bad and it’s not meant to distract, it’s meant to OVERWHELM you with 500 pretty equally bad things so we can’t get organized and fight.

PICK. A. LANE. AND. STAY. THERE.

This is how we win.

There isn’t a middle ground.

You DO have to get political. It IS going to mean β€œlooking like you’re taking a side” because…you do have to take a fucking side.

There are lives at stake, a democracy at stake, and the collapse of our society at stake.

Reimagine yourself as an activist.

Gavin Newsom suggesting that 25 years of age is too young to transition and agreeing to right-wing entryism of concern trolling about trans people in sports. This is your opposition leader?

I will never vote for Gavin Newsom anyone who thinks trans people are actual humans will follow suit.

I often talk to international colleagues about how understanding mass shootings in the US is misguided without understanding the larger context of the fact that we just tolerate excess death from **all causes** at a rate that most high income countries do not

Good record keeping is the backbone of data management. Every research study should keep a single source of truth regarding what data you collected, what data you did not collect, when and why.
