This feels like a weird moment to post a niche complaint, but it is really annoying that Scientific Reports doesn't require authors to use line numbers but they ALSO don't allow reviewers to upload the submission with annotations. How are we supposed to make decent comments?

I will cyberbully the President until he personally gives every trans child in America ten grand in cash and you’re a weird weenie if you don’t like it

@carpetblogger1.bsky.social you weren’t kidding, these folks know what for. One of the better meals I’ve had in a long time.

I am continuing to celebrate #CephalopodWeek in the ancient world. With another amazing mosaic from Pompeii and these red-figure octopus & nereid-riding-squid on this Attic krater from Magna Graecia

Alright everybody how are YOU celebrating #CephalopodWeek?

I just spend two amazing days bumming around Roman ruins in the south of Italy, so my contributions to #CephalopodWeek are these two absolutely stunning more-than two-thousand-year-old mosaics from the apodyterium (changing room) of the women’s baths at Herculaneum

Cephalopod Week begins tomorrow! It's a 8-day celebration of goopy goodness. Science Friday asked me to update their fundraiser badges, check them out in their natural habitat, SciFri's Sea of Support: apps.sciencefriday.com/sea-of-suppo... More shenanigans: www.sciencefriday.com/spotlights/c...

This sums it up perfectly. It’s not a conversation.

the journalistic failures surrounding Iraq were so vast and numerous that it felt hard to diagnose, but after Gaza it feels simpler. the institution is distinctly racist towards Arabs and Muslims - not in some abstract structural way but in the sense that NYT leadership views them as inferior

I didn’t think the Times could look any worse in a war than it did after Iraq, but they may have outdone themselves with Gaza

It's true that every major victory for Republicans in my lifetime has been a complete disaster for this country but Dems winning hasn't done anything to unwind the damage, just an endless one-way ratchet of authoritarianism bsky.app/profile/rinc...

"this is the most important election of our lifetimes" every election forever is both a joke and not actually wrong

Here’s the deal: We stop shaming the poor for buying things that may not be essential, and start shaming the rich for making a profit off things that are essential.

There are more NYT pieces on detransitioners than there are detransitioners

I abjectly refuse to use the verb from the quoted post, but keep it going, if you’d like.

Just got a canned “we went with someone else” HR rejection notice from a place I interviewed for in March. Thanks for following up, I guess?

Come hang at IPFC next week! I'll be presenting on mesophotic squirrelfishes (and soldierfishes). Originally a Josh Copus joint! (wednesday @ 4:15 in Session A)

Folks, look, Scholastic is only a billion-dollar juggernaut that dominates the children’s book industry. What are they supposed to do about fascist book banning and censorship in the face of 11 racists sending angry emails? Whatever they want because they literally can? C’mon. Be reasonable.

The American Museum of Natural History holds the remains of 12,000 people from around the world. Most of them are Indigenous. I've spent a year learning the horrifying stories of how these bones got to New York - including talking to a man who found his grandfather in the museum.

New social account, new paper! We explored Hawaiian mesophotic reefs with tech diving and eDNA and found strong depth-based biodiversity zonation, with community breaks at ~45–60 m across the tree of life. (not OA but ask me for a PDF if you need to) doi.org/10.1111/mec....
