The take-home message when I give talks about race science: “for bad science to persist, you need (1) a core of ethically or methodologically compromised people who are willing to fabricate data or create misleading evidence & (2) a larger group of people who are willing to promote these ideas”

Schwerpunkt im Osten: Neonazi-Jugendgruppen stören immer häufiger Christopher Street Days
Einer Studie zufolge war 2025 jede fünfte CSD- und Pride-Veranstaltung Ziel von rechtsextremen Aufmärschen und anderen Aktionen. Ziel sei es, „queere Sichtbarkeit anzugreifen“, sagt ein Experte.

maybe AI shouldn't do "peer review" to begin with? I dunno; just spitballing here
Researchers have been sneaking secret messages into their papers in an effort to trick AI tools into giving them a positive peer-review report

It’s so much crazier than that. A woman appealed a lower court ruling for her ex-husband, pointing out the court’s order relied on 4 hallucinated or real-but-irrelevant cases. Ex-husband’s lawyer then files a reply to the appeals court with ELEVEN hallucinated or irrelevant case citations!
First time a judge has decided a case based on hallucinated case law in the US that I've encountered.

Will share this here now: due to some budget struggles at ISD, my position there is getting phased out. I’ll be on the hunt for full time work again come July. Not sure what the future will hold for me in the short-term, but please keep me in mind if you see decent openings and/or freelance work.

Deeply frustrating article. Also, I'm pretty sure Tate's own lawyer argues that Tate is playing a character and doesn't actually mean the most extreme stuff he's saying. Research on the manosphere which doesn't contend with the way it weaponises irony is genuinely worse than useless!

Got an Instagram account really late in the day so I'm just catching the tail end of discourses over there in ways that make me feel insane. Saw one post that began with "you might think vanlife is glamorous, but here's the reality.." Oh no, I actually never thought that about living in a van
