i wish the astronomy community would go back to using "machine learning" to talk about machine learning instead of saying "AI" all the time to try and suck up to the feds

I’ve been thinking quite a bit about my experiences with being trashed in the media, and I think it’s interesting that the scientists who believed the bad press about me never noticed that the only colleagues who said bad things about me were men And they didn’t question why that was

ADHD is what ADHD is & it causes me huge problems but I also think sometimes I need to remind people that I personally like having it. What I don’t like is the penalties & taxes our current societal structure inflicts on me for having it.

I just honestly can't get over that Save Women Sports, an anti-trans group could only find five trans athletes competing K through 12. Five. The NCAA president testified a year and a half ago or so that there were less than 10 college level trans athletes. What the fuck are we doing, people

it's funny but also a reminder that the fundamental premise here is that a Black man can't be objective when talking about race while a white man can because Black people do identity politics and white people do facts and this my friends is what I have named "white empiricism"

Ok here we go: It DOES look like a major purpose of this NIH funding transfer to NIH is to circumvent NIH’s peer review processes so political appointees can have control. Check out the redacted agreement @maxkozlov.bsky.social released: 1/

Q
Federal departments, agencies, and offices with respect to the identification of additional priority virus families and other viral pathogens with a significant potential to cause a pandemic" (42
U.S.C. § 285f-5(e)(1)).
Through this agreement, NIH will leverage OASW ND-CBD's procurement, grants, and funding network to allow for critical basic science
I, related research pathways, and basic research to
support the translation and advanced development of medical countermeasures.

I think the smart move would be to act as if both origins are true for the purpose of public health policy — labs need to have top notch safety, we can't screw around. and humans need - we absolutely have to - stop daring nature to fuck us up with things like wet markets

when someone is revealed to have done racist things or behaved in a racist way, actively, responding “that person is not A Racist” isn’t appropriate. racism is something you do. if you think of people as “a racist” or “not a racist”, you don’t actually know what you’re talking about. it’s a tell.

I said as much in the replies, but the anti-trans movement's successes in the UK have led me to question centralized national healthcare systems in a way I hadn't previously. That's not to say the US system can be defended - it's awful for everyone, more expensive, lower quality, just terrible.
