The religious right is steadily expanding its definition of what is sexual — and restricting what it deems acceptable in public spaces. Tech companies, in want of less oversight, are taking the hint. The deplatforming that started with sex workers / kink / trans has come for gay bars.

i think the history of science is a vastly humbling testament to the limitations of our ability to simultaneously (a) get our concepts prim and proper and (b) make them well-suited to handle novel phenomena

Life has changed dramatically in the last 30 years. We all use the internet far more, and are far less likely to read books, host friends, attend parties, play cards, attend classes, join clubs, go to picnics, and stay late to work. www.derekthompson.org/p/the-death-...

The fiscal year is over. The dying Social, Behavioral, and Economic division of NSF ended up awarding 90 total grants this year, as opposed to ~700-800 in recent past years. Source: grantwitness.org/nsf/analyses...

The graph shows the cumulative number of awards made by month across this fiscal year, as compared to the last 6 fiscal years. The line for this year is total flat until June, but then finally gets up to 91 by October. In prior years the increase starts building earlier and ends on average in the 700-800 range (with variability, last year was only between 400-500).

As an aside, making policy based on actual science, whose methods/data are transparent and findings reproducible, is controversial b/c "two sides, etc." But dozens of women have died post Dobbs, a decision based on "old book said so" and "not deeply rooted" and we're supposed to just accept it.

This is pretty wild... the average global sea surface temperature (outside of the polar regions) is still above 70°F (21.1°C) through the end of September. This is significantly above the prior record. We'll cover this in our October climate briefing: climatecentral-org.zoom.us/webinar/regi... 🌊

This is quite the graph from a new retrospective cohort study in Neurology: “In conclusion, football is the leading cause of sports-related traumatic brain injury in children and young adults, and its risks are amplified by institutional promotion despite decades of accumulating evidence of harm.”

Figure one: age breakdown of traumatic brain injuries by activity. The graph clearly shows that American tackle football has the highest number of traumatic brain injuries.

Fairly late on posting this, but this is pretty important reporting for those tracking science policy/reform. To be clear, I think most in the metascience community are well-meaning and intend to do good work. But the community's findings--which have not endured the same rigorous scrutiny...

Is metascience being co-opted?

In July, the White House released a report that argued academia is deeply dysfunctional and in need of radical reform.

This has been an issue when teaching new activists who tell me they are interested in "accountability for sexual harm." Accountability can only be voluntary. Everything else that is nonvoluntary is punishment. Accountability is interpersonal repair, yet so often they use it to mean punishment.

Very good read here, though I wish it got into two things IMO essential to analyzing selling panic and resisting toxic nihilism: - A tendency by US trans journalists / pundits to steamroll over international voices when covering events in other countries; - A more recent plague we DID give up on!

Speaking as an AE at two different journals, all of this is 100% correct. Previous benchmarks for publication cycles are utterly irrelevant now, b/c it takes 3-5x as long to attach reviewers and obtain review (I completely u-stand why people won't review). The entire ecosystem is broken.

CPTSD is not primarily about what happened to us. It's about how what happened to us turned us into someone we didn't choose. The "just get over it" people don't understand that. We don't "just get over" who we've become. We have to recondition, rewire, reshape ourselves.

This is incidentally why, when people on the center or left uncritically and earnestly buy into the disingenuous and performative framing of the right’s construction of “wokism”, they are engaging in a kind of thought-terminating brain rot that hollows out one’s understanding of power.
