I'm not going to reskeet the skeet that made me feel the need to say this but: NYC is a very Jewish city - public schools are closed for Yom Kippur. It's also a very Muslim city - public schools are closed for Ramadan. It's also one of the most Catholic cities in the nation.

The Tea Party protests in April 2009 had about a third of a million people involved, and the political media treated it like a game changer for the Obama presidency. The No Kings rallies were AT LEAST ten times bigger than the Tea Party protests. Will the press keep pretending Trump is popular?

I would like to beg the Internet to learn that plurals don't need apostrophes. Unless there is a plural possessive. Please.

We're having a "scientific conferences need to become more accessible" conversation again, this time in terms of the Trump administration making it unsafe for some international colleagues to join us in the US. I'm on the Board of multiple orgs that plan conferences. Here are some thoughts. 🧵🧪🦑🌎

Folks at Princeton have put together an aggregator to highlight example of how federally funded research has directly impacted people's lives. They are looking for more studies to highlight, so send along suggestions and help make the benefits of science more visible! publicusaresearchbenefits.com

Ten years ago Last Week Tonight aired a Mother’s Day segment on paid leave. Guess what? We still don’t have a national policy. Moms are done waiting. Care is essential, child care is unaffordable, and rights are under attack. 13 states stepped up. Congress, you’re next. Tag your reps.

We are seeing multiple instances of reviewers doing manuscript reviews via use of AI/LLM. If you don't want to do a review the old-fashioned way, better to decline the request. Giving someone else's manuscript to AI is a violation of intellectual property rights/laws; the manuscript isn't yours...

Dua Lipa and Sir Elton John are among 400 British musicians, writers and artists calling on the British prime minister to update copyright laws in a way that protects them from artificial intelligence. They say failing to give that protection would mean them "giving away" their work to tech firms.
