The NY Times is either incapable of basic journalistic fact-checking, or actively malevolent. I’m starting to think it’s the latter. They’re no better than Murdoch’s propaganda outlets.

I wanted to draw your attention to this poll I conducted on Mastodon on the off chance you're interested in conducting your own (actual) research. This poll means nothing, but these results were worse than I expected.

Stories like this show there’s a deeper underlying problem: lawmakers treat science and scientists as just another constituency to be bargained and compromised with. They seem to have no understanding that science represents reality, which cannot be bargained or compromised with. As the biosphere our lives depend on reels from the effects of the climate crisis, they keep on playing political games.

Definitely worth reading whether you’re on the spectrum or not.

OMG, this week's New Yorker cover…

PSA: if you get a phishing email and you don't know the right place to send it for the organization the phisher is pretending to be, just forward it as an attachment to reportphishing@apwg.org (the Anti-Phishing Working Group). It will make its way into the block lists for most browsers.

From another network (non-public account so I can't link to it):
THIS IS HUGE! Researchers at Stanford University have developed a dual-antibody treatment that remains effective against ALL SARS-CoV-2 variants by targeting a less-mutable part of the virus. This breakthrough could lead to longer-lasting therapies that OUTPACE viral evolution.

@inthehands @dansup She got love-bombed by TERF activists in the UK and went down the rabbit hole with them. The UK as a whole is very transphobic these days, and how that happened could fill a book (and has, I believe).

The best time to boycott Tesla was when it became obvious he was a shitty excuse for a human being who badly mistreated his employees and tolerated blatant racism at his manufacturing plants. That was years ago. The second best time is now.

@dansup I’m so sorry.

@dansup I hope he feels better soon.

@inthehands @Lana @lisamelton You beat me to it!

@lisamelton @Lana My bottom surgery was on Leap Day—February 29, 2000. That kind of leap day only occurs once every 400 years. When I was offered the date I jumped at it.

Thanks to 47, the US is going to fade into a failed state with nuclear weapons, very much like his patron’s. I wonder if that was the goal all along.

@muddyfields @dalias @wdlindsy The Milgram experiment has been thoroughly debunked: https://gwern.net/doc/psychology/2019-letexier.pdf

Musk's henchmen are a zombie virus currently infecting the entire executive branch.

@dansup What happens if someone picks a user ID that's the same as an existing shortcode?

@dansup How are you doing the transfer? If you have a Thunderbolt cable try connecting them that way (you don’t need to start over).

@darnell @laurenshof I guess I missed something? What's the problem with bookwyrm.social and kbin.social? The rest I'm familiar with how bad they are. I've been recommending bookwyrm as a replacement for GoodReads and I thought kbin was mostly dead.
