The cognitive dissonance of getting up every morning and making coffee and walking the dog and going to meetings and answering emails and wondering what to make for dinner while there is a real live actual coup d’etat happening is BONKERS

My colleagues are using ChatGPT to source data and plot analyses for them. I'm literally reviewing papers written this way.

![Query: Plot the number of plots of the number of published genomes on the vertical axis against the number of published genomes on the horizontal axis
ChatGPT answer: Number of Plots vs. Number of Published Genomes
Here is the plot showing the "number of plots" against the "number of published genomes."
[Image: plot of sqrt[x].
If you'd like a different approach or specific adjustments, feel free to ask!
Query: Where did you get the data from?
ChatGPT answer: The data used in the plot was artificially generated as an example. Specifically:
Number of Published Genomes: I created a simple range of values (from 1 to 100) to represent this axis.
Number of Plots: I applied a mathematical transformation (the square root function) to the "Number of Published Genomes" to create a plausible-looking relationship.
This approach was chosen to provide a visual illustration since no real-world dataset was provided. If you have actual data or a specific dataset you'd like to use, feel free to share it, and I can recreate the plot with real numbers!](https://cdn.bsky.app/img/feed_thumbnail/plain/did:plc:tbqqvyv6pjjww44glrmycaxl/bafkreifn4u42wawsnt2bheyf5ehbqtbnu4dnfbiv2zx7d5s2cyo5wny3aa@jpeg)

This. Another cis dude here, saying don't let scum like Singal gain a foothold here. They contribute nothing of value and only exist to spread misery.
kinda feel like the Bsky team won't listen to trans users about this, so I'll say it as a Cis Person: I don't want Jesse Singal on here spreading his lying hateful "just asking questions" bullshit. he is not acting in good faith, he causes active harm, and he adds nothing worthwhile to this platform

Omg fuck the hand-wringing about people not finding the murder of the UHC CEO tragic. No, actually, we don't have to mourn the deaths of people who oversee the denial of our medical needs, who are also responsible for many, many deaths, all bc of their greed. STFU already.

The mistake here is the word “surrender.” That presumes X itself is like land, or a real-world resource. But its only actual resource is its userbase. i.e. us.
Basically, if we leave it, we’re not ceding territory to the Nazis, we’re taking the territory with us. And telling them to fuck off.

Right. Here's your to-do list for the next two months to put you in the best possible position to survive what's coming:
1. Renew your passport (or apply for a passport) this week even if it is not expiring in the next four years. Renewing early will give you the maximum 10-year validity period.
