Elon Musk is a proven danger to good science, but the Royal Society won’t say so. That’s why I resigned | Kit Yates
It is vital to act, and I urge colleagues to do so. How can we stand by and laud this man while he undermines scientific integrity? asks academic and author Kit Yates

I don't think we've confronted the fact that the perceived excesses of the "woke" agenda are coded feminine, and the actual excesses of the Trumpist agenda are coded masculine.
Given how deeply misogyny is embedded in US society (and not just), it's obvious why the latter won that contest.

‘Woke’ didn’t lose the US election: the patrician class who hijacked identity politics did | Nesrine Malik

I just found out that around 20% of the neanderthal genome still exists today in living people!!
No individual person has more than 3 or 4% but we don't all have the same bits. If you add up all the bits we've found, about a fifth of the Neanderthal genome is still present on earth today.

It’s like the structure of language turns out to be a very good carrier signal for encoding things that can be expressed linguistically.
