„When citizens must think twice about criticizing or opposing the government because they could credibly face government retribution, they no longer live in a full democracy. By that measure, America has crossed the line into competitive authoritarianism.“

Plenty of new #Foellowers — time for a quick introduction! My name is Jens, I used to do fMRI brain research in Germany & Florida for many years, then pivoted to science communication. Now I’m writing for a science TV show and co-hosting a podcast if I’m not busy writing books. I like you all a lot.

I’ve had 30 new #Foellowers almost simultaneously, and they seem to be similar accounts (as in, interested in and concerned about current US politics). How have y’all found me? Did someone mention my account today somewhere / on a different platform?

“Another large law firm was forced to explain itself to a judge this week for submitting a court filing with made-up citations generated by an artificial intelligence chatbot.” Lawyers, educators and journalists are in a contest to determine who is most eager to turn in shitty work out of laziness

I’m still miffed that this movie showed Furiosa get amputated as opposed to her being limb different from birth. The latter would have been something original for a movie and would have defied expectations — whereas as it is now, I actually don’t remember her amputation in the context of the movie.

Again. If they’re using DEI as an insult in public they’re saying the N-word in private.

Might be a good movie to revisit these days. Important to keep in mind that a revolution without dancing is a revolution not worth having.
