@zackieachmat.bsky.social is a long-time activist in South Africa and is sounding the alarm. The cuts by #Trump, #Musk, #Vought and #Rubio are going to cost lives. #TheseCutsKill

"Musk’s sojourn in government has revealed severe flaws in his character — a blithe, dehumanizing cruelty, and a deadly incuriosity. This should shape how he’s seen for the rest of his public life."

As of today, Elon Musk is thought to be responsible for the death of 300,000 adults and kids due to the illegal closure of USAID (source: www.impactcounter.com/dashboard?vi...) That's a 103 deaths per hour, each day. And it will get worse. His legacy is one of death, destruction, and failure.

The brand he's talking about here is Tesla. I thought it'd be the USA.

not sure how to get this across to non-academics but here goes, Imagine if you were suddenly told 'we decided not to pay your salary', that's kind of what the grant cuts felt like. Now imagine if you were suddenly told 'we are going to set your dog on fire', that's what this feels like:

Big if true in nature: "Strikingly, this phenomenon does not require additional mechanisms like intransitive or higher-order interactions; rather, coexistence arises from dense networks of indirect effects." 🧪 #EvoBio #Complexity #Macroecology

New paper alert. "More is different" & the LLMs. LLMs are usually studied in isolation. But what happens when they start interacting? We explored this by looking at their collective behaviour. Work with @ariel-flint.bsky.social and @lajello.bsky.social 1/

There is a way to host and manage Overleaf on your own server for free. I've not tried it but it sounds fairly easy for people used to Docker etc. shihabkhan1.github.io/overleaf/int...

Wikipedia says Jack Sprat is a satire about Charles I but I prefer to think it's meant to teach toddlers elementary set theory. (Smarter toddlers replace "if" with "iff".)

Every new thing Keir Starmer says makes me more glad to have a Green MP @sianberry.bsky.social

submitted 20 days ago • 0 comments

In the foreword to his immigration white paper, PM Starmer calls immigration a "damage", "failure" and "wound". Until today, I would have described my own migration to the UK with words like "success", "contribution" and "involvement" - but what do I know? This rhetoric feels very 2016. #AcademicSky

Hey, looks like the evil corporate giant (in US) has my book 'Charles Darwin's Barnacle and David Bowie's Spider' deeply discounted at the moment - under $20. I promise you it's >$20 worth of fun (or >$20 worth of gift-getter-gratitude). https://amzn.to/43j1rjT 1/2

My 6yo daughter often asks me to teach her the maths I teach undergrads, so I've been introducing her to some topics she won't have encountered yet at school: * Solving linear equations * Prime factorization * Calculating areas of non rectangles * Integer powers of integers Any other suggestions?
