Using AI to write science explainers is bad for SO MANY REASONS relating to accuracy and content theft but also because effective science communication is not about just arranging information on a page, but allowing the science to create a connection between people, the basis of which is trust

Forgot to share this earlier, but YIKES. Jackson Ryan on the AI-generated articles in Cosmos magazine www.theguardian.com/...

Don't try to tell me MAGA Republicans care about “protecting children” when p. 302 of Trump's Project 2025 playbook calls for eliminating safety regulations on baby formula.

Seattle! Today I found out that King County has a mobile team that will come to your house and vaccinate you for Covid and Flu shots if you have a disability!! I just talked to them and it’s a free program and they are taking names for the waitlist for when the new vaccine becomes available

This is very awesome: Sherpas being trained to fly heavy lifter drones in the high altitude zone to lift out garbage from Everest, reducing the number of necessary trips through the Icefall (the most dangerous area aside from the death zone above 8000m). kathmandupost.com/money/2024/0...

It’s official: Chinese drones will fly trash out of Everest slopeskathmandupost.com In a flight test, the DJI FlyCart 30 could ferry 234 kg an hour, a task carried out by some 14 porters in six hours.

From the Rust Belt/Midwest and graduated high school in 1992: this is CORRECT. I got better. It got better. It's going backwards in a LOT of states right now, but leading your football team to state WHILE ALSO leading the Gay-Straight Alliance in the 1990's shows Walz can fight.

Hello everyone, class of 2000, checking in. Unless you were there, you have no fucking idea how homophobic high school was back then. Violence in the open, often with teachers and administrators having the attitude of "what did they expect?" This is a very hard thing to have done in 1999.

Look, Walz will disappoint us too in the fullness of time. But it would be AMAZING to have them NOT pick someone who's already fully pre-disappointed us for a change.

Win the election and pack the court, or face a generation of Federalist Society judges "discovering" that the way this country has run for nearly a century is entirely unconstitutional. Those are the two choices. There aren't others.

I admire the fuck out of Simone Biles not only for her achievements, not only her talent, not only her hard work, not only putting her own physical and emotional health first, but also for how hard she has worked to shield the gymnasts coming up from what she and others before her went through.

Not the worst thing about it, but definitely absurd how the boxing stuff eclipses other exciting women's sports stories. The first black woman to win gold at fencing, the silver medalist at gymnast who came from the favelas, Suni Lee managing her kidney condition. So much great stuff!

Apropos of something else: The thing that Balzac actually wrote—more or less "The secret of a great fortune without an apparent cause is a crime forgotten because it was properly done"—is a lot more fun than "Behind every great fortune is a crime," which he didn't write.

People that have written books you might like: @sarahday.org @dynamicsymmetry.bsky.social @theradr.bsky.social @timpratt.org @trickweekes.bsky.social @tkingfisher.com @kitrocha.com @courtneymilan.com @jessiemihalik.com

Not quite the same thing, but I have been told over and over by other authors that if you think you’re talking too much online about your book, you are probably way under-talking it, and you likely have many followers who still do not know you wrote a book People are busy, you gotta repeat things

Oh trust me it isn't changing that

"Kamala isn't really Black" may not make the Trump campaign look good, but it might succeed in changing the narrative from "Jeez, would you look at these freaks?" And they were pretty desperate to get away from that.

lol georgia just made it easy as hell for anyone to cancel your voter registration and also they won't alert you, so again -- check your registration consistently leading up to the election.

honestly, it's always a good idea to check your registration regularly wherever you live. I got kicked off the polls in NYC despite voting in every election and being in the same apartment for like eight years

If you're wondering where the rabbis were when Bibi was speaking, the answer was: In prayer and protest outside, demanding an end to the war, the death, the devastation, and demanding a better future for everyone in the region. Organized by T'ruah, the US-based rabbis for human rights org.
