To me the core tenet of a conspiracy theory is this foundational paradox: the absence of evidence supporting the conspiracy is treated as evidence of the conspiracy. It allows you to say whatever you want - exactly like the weirdo in the comments is doing.

Wow. Good for him. I am pro assisted dying, but it must not become a fig leaf for institutional failing (see: Canada) www.nytimes.com/2025/04/14/o...

I just attended a conference in the US. We had one speaker detained and two others turned away at the border.

“It would seem that the only way Miller [the man who was banned] would even end up on MSG’s radar is if someone was scraping social media, keeping tabs on voices critical of Dolan, and putting them in the system to keep them out of future events.”

It's kind of unjust that in a bad journal the journal is clearly responsible when publishing bad research, but a journal can also contribute nothing and still publish good research simply because people external to the journal (submitters/reviewers) are doing a good job & the journal gets the clout

Can't believe I used to be interested in what zeynep tufekci had to say. Now she writes like just another conspiracist. Even if she happened to be right, the transparently manipulative way she writes defies any trust you could have in the writing.

First the rumour was a 20% budget cut. Then, 50%. Now the president's NASA budget is out and it's a 68% cut to astrophysics ($1.5B to $487M). Even if this gets reversed in four years, we will never recover the missions, partners, people who will be gone. www.washingtonpost.com/science/2025...

There’s many reasons why we (ecologists, conservation biologists) are pissed about the GMO gray wolves.

1. LLM-generated code tries to run code from online software packages. Which is normal but 2. The packages don’t exist. Which would normally cause an error but 3. Nefarious people have made malware under the package names that LLMs make up most often. So 4. Now the LLM code points to malware.

NEW: Entire scientific fields have been wiped out by the nearly 800 grants cancelled at NIH, finds a @nature.com analysis of the unprecedented cuts. About half of all 2024 NIH projects related to LGBT+ health or vaccine hesitancy — gone. See the other topics and US states hardest hit here:

I took it as fact that new growth is thinner than old growth. But in this pic of my raspberry bush, the thin brown twig is last year's growth. The thick green growth wasn't there 3 weeks ago...

Air pollution has dropped significantly in #Paris in the last 15 years as a result of a deliberate strategy. Mayor @annehidalgo.bsky.social’s leadership has traded car space for green space, safe bike space, kid space.. and traded pollution for people. Good trade.

TIL Ginkgo supposedly comes from japanese. The tree is called icho いちょう　銀杏, the fruit ginnan　銀杏　... so where does ginkgo come from? Ginnan - 銀杏, (mis?)read ginkyo, mistyped ginkgo apparently... Yes, that's 3 readings for the same 銀杏

From Max Miller's newsletter. People are making "history" accounts that are entirely run by chatGPT &co, spreading lies that readers propagate to the point of 'correcting' genuine facts with AI nonsense.

I see we’re doing deextinction discourse again, I’ll bite! Genotypes (DNA variation) alone do not make a phenotype (how bodies look, function, behave). Even if we reproduced an extinct genome, that animal doesn’t necessarily have the developmental context and learned culture of the extinct species

This is a big deal. Spread the word. But it’s tiny compared to the totality of what’s happening at NIH. Cure Research for all cancers, Alzheimer’s, everything is being gutted. Intentionally. It’s all getting burned to the ground but the news isn’t getting out. The new cures won’t be there for you.
