finally someone said it. TRT is the real pipeline. from low T to low empathy to high nationalism.

Nature is amazing, over the weekend I was able to spend time admiring this beautiful place. To me this is the type of cathedral Gaudí was inspired to mimic in his works.

With today's report outlining risks on mirror life www.science.org/doi/full/10.... many have asked: Could mirror life survive in the wild? Yes. While mirror life in the wild could have some significant disadvantages (like finding food it can digest), they do not appear to be insurmountable: 🧵

Looks like the Bay Area is in for some rain and snow in the mountains. Hopefully the atmospheric river doesn’t stall out over San Francisco like it did in 2022 - it dropped 5.5 inches of rain on New Years Eve.

One of the scientific communities I am a part of also saw an increase in engagement on LinkedIn around this same time frame and a lot of my friends moved to Mastodon and never looked back. Maybe Bluesky will bring people back in or maybe some are burnt out from social media in general.

A recent study reports a noticeable drop in both the number of accounts and tweets (and overall engagement) when it comes to academics communicating online post-Musk purchase. Show this to your media/comms teams. 'The Vibes Are Off: Did Elon Musk Push Academics Off Twitter?' - shorturl.at/CFHpS
Summary: Two plots, side by side, showing the number of active accounts and tweets over time gradually decreasing with a sudden sharp drop after Elon Musk took over Twitter.

Long Text: Two sub-plots, side by side. For each the X-axis represents the date (starting smallest on left and increasing to the right). In the first plot, the y-axis represents number of accounts and in the second plot the y-axis represents number of Tweets. A red, vertical dashed line is annotated to indicate when Musk took over Twitter. The data reflects both the number of accounts and number of tweets reducing over time, but a significant sharp drop right after Musk took over.

I thought so too. We are seeing increased traction on LinkedIn in terms of engagement so maybe people will want to be there and not on another social media platform as well.

A p-value measures the probability of obtaining the observed results, assuming that the null hypothesis is true. The lower the p-value, the greater the statistical significance of the observed difference.
