I do not envy the person at @wxpnfm.bsky.social who had to determine which cover of Hallelujah to include in the #XPNCountdown . I'd have gone with @kdlang.bsky.social , but that's me.

If you have the privilege of having your own tunes on as you work today, here's an option. Currently listening to the Stones "Time Is On My Side".
And just like that, song #392 is a cover of David Bowie's "Heroes" by The Wallflowers. #XPNCountdown
Good morning Countdowners! it's day six of the countdown and we're ready to rock song #392. Schedule change: We're going to 7pm tonight - we got an extra hour of the countdown!!!
Happy listening.

Oh, look! It's "let's reinvent phrenology" o'clock. It seems to roll around faster every time. Note that these papers have been retracted, but due to concerns about the ethics and validity of the dataset, NOT the phrenology angle.

Springer Nature retracts, removes nearly 40 publications
The dataset contains images of children’s faces downloaded from websites about autism, which sparked concerns at Springer Nature about consent and reliability.

i’m at the brooklyn training. amazing energy.
@handsoffnyc.bsky.social is training thousands of New Yorkers on how to protect their neighbors from ICE. Today, they are currently running two trainings in Brooklyn and the Bronx, both of which hit capacity because interest was so high.
This is the way, y’all—we protect each other, and we know it.
