1/7. Public discourse about racial equity has changed a lot over the years. At @commhsp.bsky.social we’ve been monitoring those changes and their consequences. In a new 538 article, @efranklinfowler.bsky.social and I share what we’ve been seeing and why it matters. abcnews.go.com/538/national...

Absolutely nobody can be surprised, let along shocked by this, right? Surely #Europe spent the months since November planning to assist #Ukraine without yoosa?

Government is big business. Somebody has to do the work required to keep public agencies grinding along. If you fire full-time staff, you spend much more in personnel contracting, consultants and private firms taking up the contracts. 🤔 Funny, sounds just like #LNP policy… #Dutton #auspol

We built sound source localization for consumer #microphone #arrays in #SmartHome devices, using the #neuromorphic #audio #processor #XyloAudio from @synsense.bsky.social. New paper out today from Saeid Haghighatshoar in @natureportfolio.nature.com @commseng.bsky.social: nature.com/articles/s44...

In absolutely unsurprising news, #Dutton and the #LNP jump into a #cultureWar beat-up, to support #Hanson 's revolting anti-trans bullshit imported from the USA. @albomp.bsky.social and #Labor need to step in a progressive direction quick-smart, if they want to avoid a lurch to the right. #auspol

The main barriers to commercial adoption of #neuromorphic technology in 2025 are not technological — Neuromorphic #processors are already available, with #benchmark #applications in #audio and #vision processing showing massive advantages over conventional processing.

Came back today to the amazing #tenochtitlan tenochtitlan.thomaskole.nl by @thomaskole.bsky.social . Breath-taking and heart-rending from a colonial perspective.

Peter #Dutton is claiming inflation is too high under #Labor. The inflation rate was 6.1% when the #LNP were booted out of power. It's now 3.2%. #insiders #misinformation #auspol

It should be trivial for #Labor and #Albanese — along with every person with a sense of ethics or international law — to reject this revolting proposal for ethnic cleaning in Gaza. Australian politicians need to find a backbone and get louder. #auspol

Let's remember every single company and institution that's rolling back their DEI programmes right now without even being forced to do so. The fact that they're doing it so fast means they were just waiting for the opportunity. True colours shown. Google, Meta, HHMI 😢, ...

Let’s be really clear, THIS IS NOT ABOUT SPORTS. This is about violence against Trans women. This is about enforcing hate as public policy. This is pure evil.

So #Dutton wants to axe cheap full-time employees, and go back to the Liberal policy if wasting $20bn per year on expensive consultants instead? Make it make sense. #auspol

In my birth state of Queensland, children of 10 years old can now be put in jail on life sentences. A shocking degradation of human rights, rushed through by a right-wing government, under a completely made-up pretext pushed just to win an election.

Ordering the NIH, NSF, and CDC to erase any mention of "LGBT", trans people, gender... We are watching Magnus Hirschfeld's research institute be burnt down by Nazis all over again This is why people see transness as a fad. We were erased from history! www.scientificamerican.com/article/the-...

Friends in the neuromorphic community may be interested in Brains and Machine's own Giulia D'Angelo and her new podcast Sottosoglia with co-host Fabrizio Ottati and first guest Jason Eshraghian. Different vibe from Brains and Machines, but fun! @giuliadangelo.bsky.social youtu.be/2mMVPsZBPr0?...

What is it about ML research, that makes people think they can submit papers with N=1 and no statistical analysis? If your plots show N=1, and you claim some effect, I assume your science amounts to reading tea-leaves.

Mathematical models are and have been incredibly useful in our fight to defeat #malaria— let’s collectively ensure they remain so! Check out our new article from @jalinegerardin.bsky.social and I on "How can modelling responsibly inform decision-making in malaria?" journals.plos.org/plosbiology/...

More #culture-war crap being imported by the #Australian conservative #Liberal party. If there is a problem with inappropriate treatment by a particular clinic, address it directly. There's no rationale to block treatment state-wide, except reactionary anti-"woke" bullshit from Crisafulli.

The cost of living crisis is caused by unreasonable and unsustainable capitalist profit-taking, not government expenditure.

BREAKING via NPR: Oracle, run by Trump associate Larry Ellison is likely to take over Tiktok, leaving Facebook, Instagram, X, and Tiktok and Fox (along with Rogan etc) all largely controlled by one party. The country remains split politically but the right has vastly more influence over the media.

It’s such a privilege to set foot on this ancient land. These rocks have seen tens of thousands of years of First Nations communities — “Australia” is something brand new, in comparison, and we have the moral obligation to listen and learn, and correct our mistakes.

Do we really need to import this culture war bullshit to Australia? I think we’re smarter than that.

Happening now, a transgender sports ban is being heard in Congress. This ban might ban trans people from dancing, darts, and even chess in many universities. It'll also target 9 year olds playing soccer. I'm covering live, follow along with me. live.house.gov
