Nah, definitely he got that idea first

That was the exact post I was referencing. Man do I miss old Twitter

(but if you see any personal threats directed at me, feel free to send me screenshots so my lawyers and I can keep them on file, and relevant authorities can be notified.

My signal is in my bio and I'll be up rooting for para ice hockey tomorrow morning. Thanks!)

I'm told Ryan Grim has seen this and posted it on X.

You're proving my point. Keep defending *your* Nazi tattoo bartender. You can't dig your way out of a hole.

Also, @thexylom.com quit Twitter and now has ten times the followers here than on X. Friends don't let friends hang out at the Nazi bar.

It's wild how this past NBA drafts had two prime Klay Thompson archetypes in the form of Carter Bryant and Kon Knueppel

For the Los Angeles Clippers? No, I don't

My San Antonio Spurs are so back. We're gonna have three All-Defensive players in the next decade.

‘Disrespectful to the Craft:’ Actors Say They’re Being Asked to Sign Away Their Voice to AI Motherboard spoke to multiple voice actors and advocacy organizations, some of which said contracts including language around synthetic voices are now very prevalent.

Great questions! Thanks for taking the time.

I would say that if you create your speech-to-text voice for personal use, that's reasonable.

However, a major issue facing newsrooms and institutions are AI companies forcing voice actors (and audio reporters) to sign off the rights to their voices

Completely understand you, and as a member of media I feel the same frustration about the litany of journalism ethics violations swept under the rug due to privilege/ power dynamics/ polarization.

And the thing that makes me even more cynical is that many people don't even consume mainstream media

There's a more dangerous strain of conspiratorial thinking out there than "whiteness is a better protection from disease than vaccination.": "If my kids get sick despite natural immunity, it's God's will."

To which I respond, "God gave us the wisdom to make things like shoes to protect ourselves."

Unfortunately, mandates are only half the equation. You also need trusted community voices who can actively monitor & deplatform disinformation. That's just how the human mind works.

That's why as an Evangelical Christian myself, I go after cultural Christians and Christian Nationalists the hardest

Graph of award probability of R35 and R01 from NIH factbook as a function of review rank percentile. As is apparent, 2025 is a significant departure, with lower award probabilities at all scores <40 and significant departures from norm, where even being in the top 10% is no longer a nearly certain indicator of success. Data source: https://report.nih.gov/nihdatabook/report/302

The data is in: the NIH goalposts have shifted.

What were once almost certain fundable scores have become coin flips and what used to be likely grants have become aspirational, leading to fewer awards.

Another manifestation of how HHS policies have led to fewer awards and less science.

As Rachel points out on her Instagram, notice that the guy at the front has a Totenkopf on his quarter zip.

That's why Maine Democrats should not let anyone displaying Nazi symbols near the United States Senate

Global Warming's Six Americas - Yale Program on Climate Change Communication Global Warming's Six Americas.

CORRECTION: actually, the chunk of people who are doubtful disengaged, *or cautious* about climate change is roughly a third of the population!

That figure has dropped from 47% of the population to 36% in just the last ten years. Things can change on the grassroots despite ongoing state capture!

The more these folks are cross-pressured by people who appear to be in their in-group, the more likely they can think for themselves and reorient their actions to match their values.

I call this the "I have become all things to all people so that by all possible means I might save some" doctrine

I think it is fair to describe most Republican voters as part of a personalist cult.

Scolding them does not change their minds; rather they perceive a threat to their identity and run closer to Dear Leader (also why Mormons throw young men and women to random, hostile countries as missionaries)

Actually, your counterpoint is a great example of my point:

By providing a firewall between church and state, and having white conservative officials bang the drum on why vaccines are good for the state using Biblical language, white conservative voters are more likely to get their kids vaxxed

Why @jkbjournalist.bsky.social still doesn't have a Pulitzer bewilders me. I guess we'll find out

The only way to break through these cultural and information bubbles is through personal relationships and (I recommend @katharinehayhoe.com's Saving Us as a starting point)

You just can't scold people into changing their minds in climate or public health. Threatening people is unsustainable either

Decades of research by @yaleclimatecomm.bsky.social shows that there are at most one-tenth of Americans that are dismissive of climate change science or. There are roughly a third of folks who are doubtful or disengaged though. That's the difference between a supermajority for the issue or a wash.

To quote the very wise person who once gave @kendrawrites.com advice, "would you rather be right, or effective?"

Climate and public health communicators like myself and @publichealthguy1.bsky.social understand that the knowledge deficit model (aka telling people more facts) does not change minds.

Did you know that Graham Platner was Ryan Grim's bartender back at the Tune Inn on Capitol Hill, a fact that Ryan Grim acknowledged on X?
