This blog is an editorial where I argue that some recent progress aimed at curing #type1diabetes (#t1d) is so hopeful that we should start to focus more on that and less on everything else.

(2/2 reply) Also, I think you need to define decolonization in the context of archaeology, if you want a good answer. It is a word that means wildly different things to different people.

(1/2 reply) I don't think your statement is true. I have heard archaeologists say that they talk to descendant communities before digging (before even starting a project) and if the descendent communities are not in favor, they don't do the project. So that would involve not digging.

DecodeME data is entirely stuff like this: 30.5% of people without ME/CFS have random gene SNP, but 31.1% of people with ME/CFS have the same SNP. Then they conclude that this SNP is important to ME/CFS! That is silly. They are seizing on crumbs of evidence. DecodeME found 8 pieces of random noise.

2/2 My take on "entitlement": This year, more starters, and more in between starter and backup. So less clear gap between the two. Therefore (hopefully!) less entitlement in locker room and no end of year collapse. I am an optimist!
