The deadline approaching to the two PhD projects currently recruiting. 👇
Spread the news to any curious minds and students who are interested in figuring out why/how a pigmentation gene may affect #sleep or assessing general impact of night light on #insect sleep?
The student would be trained by both myself and also experts in large #dataset or #pollinator #ecology
In 2014 and 2015, #gamergate trended on Twitter, as misogynistic video gamers harassed and threatened progressive, genderqueer, and female journalists and video gamers....
UPDATE: Still not received. Would have been nice to, you know, do the thing I have the right to do as a citizen.

I just sent a message (via his gov website) to Hakeem Jeffries that the American people want to see some consequences, not his reaching-across-the-aisle BS, and if he can't deliver that he should get out of the way of someone who can.
Would hate for this Proton unionization to go absolutely viral and succeed past its wildest dreams

Yeah that's right kid. Back in the day I had a hard drive that was on /dev/hda1
Not even /dev/sda1 I said hda that's right
I remember those days
Grub???? I used LILO
Installed Slackware from a box of floppies on a spare 486
I love KDE. I've used it with Arch, Debian/Ubuntu, and Fedora underneath.
But Discover, the graphical software installer, is terrible. It crashes constantly, updates take forever to load, and now I'm watching it freeze up as it creates a bug report.
I tend to use the terminal for most package management stuff, but sometimes I like browsing a graphical software repository. Are there any alternatives to Discover that work well with KDE?
Every time I see the "Sickos" meme I misread it so here we are
Now you can too
NEW: Democrats have gained control over enough state governments to pass the National Popular Vote Compact and give it a majority of at least 283 electoral votes—13 more than it needs to activate by 2028.
My story below explains the path forward for eventually electing the president by popular vote

I heard you, my friends, when you said you were tired of these scorpions stinging you, and you wanted me to stop the scorpion stings. I am humbled by the trust you are placing in me. I am now taking the mandate you have given me to work with the scorpions to find common solutions, with the hopes that the scorpions' stings are less painful for you.
If only the democratic party supported Black women as hard as we support them. Consistently turning out >90% of our vote for them. For years.
Dems should think about what it might mean to honor those dedicated efforts. Daishikis and kufis need not be involved...
Crypto and AI spent $250m in the midterms "in hopes of picking the lawmakers who will decide how — or whether — their industries will be regulated ... nearly three-quarters of their money went to the competitive races, and there, they got clobbered." https://www.citationneeded.news/2026-election-results/
🎉 BIG NEWS: DAIR is turning five! We hope you’ll join us for our biggest gathering yet, a free, livestreamed celebration on December 4th. Registration is now open. See you there!
Recall the arguments against instance blocklists: the dogmatic free speech argument, the open federation argument, the grudgelist argument, and the admin responsibility argument. As far as Ro and Oliphant are concerned, the dogmatic free speech argument is just about repressive tolerance: it is code for white supremacist and transmisic entitlement....
The $25Bn verdict last week for Meta over its Cambridge Analytica lies was the largest privacy case penalty in American history. But there remains more to be done. I wrote in @TheConversationUS on what should come next: https://theconversation.com/metas-25b-fine-left-out-accountability-for-harm-from-the-cambridge-analytica-data-privacy-scandal-295620
The data does not lie.
Black women turned out at 94% Democratic. Black men at 77%. Every non-white voting bloc leaned Democratic by double digits. White men voted Republican at 61%. White women at 59%.
If you want a progressive agenda in this country, it must be acknowledged and respected, that it runs through Black folx.
Black women specifically.
I'm not hungover. I'm exhausted from being up all night surfing a blue wave
Kinda wondering if the vote counting in this race goes "One Mississippi, Two Mississippi, Three Mississippi, ..." 🤔
"As it stands El-Sayed is up nearly 100,000 votes, with 65 percent of the vote tallied, and a majority of Wayne County (which Detroit sits in) has yet to be counted."
Brey, I'm from Michigan, Detroit specifically (9 and Woodward) - you are out of your mind if you think Detroit is voting for the Nazi.
It's over, you can call it.
