Hello, new social media platform! It's a clean slate for my academic chatter: vet epidemiology, data science, statistics, education, and data ethics. Non-academic chatter may include movies, games, Lego, autism, and calls to dismantle capitalism. Most importantly, I might post pictures of my dog.
Journal editors actually emailing requests for unpaid labour at 9.13pm on the 18th of December, demanding a two week turnaround, and then sending a follow-up saying "you haven't responded yet" literally 72 minutes later.

MPs laughed when Jake Richards dismissed Jeremy Corbyn’s request for a meeting on the Palestine Action hunger strikers.
Laughed.
This is who we’re governed by, people entrusted to represent a nation, yet so insulated by power they respond to human suffering with indifference and mockery.

"...and some even hope they could simulate the responses of minorities or other groups who are often underrepresented in studies."
This is a painful misunderstanding of probability and LLMs. I cannot believe that people would be so ignorant. This undoubtedly would result in very bad things.

Just really awesome how our financial elite just spent the last several decades admonishing people for pursing the humanities and creative fields, and are now suddenly pedaling the idea that "there are no good ideas anymore" after spending the last 5 years laying off everybody with a brain

This is the Labour deputy leader saying "put up with the demonising, ostracising and oppression we force on you, you plebs."

ADHD isn't a kid being unwell. ADHD is a genetic variation, not a mental illness. The comorbidities it results in are in many cases society failing neurodivergent kids because the way they think is different and a nuisance. I hate this framing.

Waiting for the stats on the votes to enshrine gay rights, women's rights, or black/brown rights....
Oh, wait.
They didn't vote on them, they were taken for granted.
Kind of makes this look fucking offensive doesn't it.
As does the large numbers voting against it. That's a lot of transphobes.

🚨 BREAKING | Your Party has voted to enshrine trans rights into the party's founding policy documents.
Two motions, which both passed with a supermajority (with 10,000+ people voting) committed the new party to explicitly supporting "trans liberation".
