Qazaqs know that the world would care little if russia attacked and genocided us, and we still stand with Ukraine. We know that we would share the fate of Chechens, Georgians, Syrians. We still stand with Ukraine.

In 2024, Paris will ban non-essential vehicle thru-traffic from its city center. The plan is expected to cut around half of daily car journeys thru the core. Residents, public transit, emergency vehicles, & people with disabilities will find it EASIER to move. Via @citylab

@SexyCyborg 😰 I have heard. The vaccine over there isn't as effective as the mRNA type. Due to its technology as well as not being updated for the latest strains. It was a good thing that the draconian lockdowns have ended but that shouldn't mean throwing all public health measures out the window. And that entails planning and a government doing its part.

"it appears that the previously missing link—the link between the fake elector scheme and Trump himself—is no longer missing. Trump not only ;participated' in the fake elector scheme, he orchestrated it."

Excellent piece from @mikejones and @bestqualitycrab for @theconversationau covering the funding issue with #Trove at the National Library of Australia (who I don't think are on Mastodon).
Trove is an #API, which I've demo'd before at places like VALA, which makes the NLA's collections easily query-able.
Trove is #digitalinfrastructure for #digitalhumanities, #socialscience, #archives, #museums and other #GLAM activities.
And it's invisible. Which means it doesn't attract the funding or attention it deserves. Trove archives over 6 billion digital items. Items which speak to Australia's #CulturalHeritage.
If Trove were a supercomputer, it would be funded. If our digitalhumanities were as sexy as #STEM, Trove would be funded. But they're the same type of thing - digital #infrastructure that helps research. Trove is #ResearchInfrastructure. And we should fund it properly.
It's not that we're all superstitious, it's that we literally cannot buy evidence-based medicine. The stores are all out, it's stolen from packages when we try to import it from abroad, and we can't get booster shots even a year after our last vaccination. People are desperate.

Rosalind Franklin’s research was crucial to discovering DNA’s double helix structure 🧬 but it was James Watson & Francis Crick who received the credit & Nobel Prize.
Unknown to Franklin, the pair saw her unpublished data & X-ray diffraction images, inspiring their famous model. They never acknowledged her contribution until after her death.
How many discoveries & innovations of #women do we attribute to the men who took credit for their ideas?

It's pretty remarkable how much Elon's Twitter takeover is a textbook fascist takeover: leftists immediately purged, censorship regime imposed behind the scenes, secret police rooting out enemies, right wing terrorism supported by the state, etc and how uncannily similar the mainstream liberal response of pretending nothing is wrong is, even with *very low* costs of walking out the door and refusing to collaborate.
Merry Christmas! The U.S. energy department just declared the Texas grid an emergency again-again!

Fuck Greg Abbott, Ted Cruz, John Cornyn, and every Republican, Texas voter. Also, merry Christmas. https://mastodon.social/@flexghost/109572011317991158

Elon Musk just responded to a thread of the second most powerful man in Russia, a notorious war criminal, “predicting” the collapse of the West and civil war in the US with: “epic thread.”
It’s a real mystery why advertisers are fleeing Twitter and Tesla stocks are sinking

The hack of Piers Morgan's Twitter account comes just a few days after someone claimed to obtained the data of 400 million Twitter accounts in a major breach. That person was trying to sell the data and included Morgan's phone number and email as evidence that the breach data was authentic.
I don't see any great news articles about the breach, possibly because of the holidays, but @briankrebs has recently posted some reliably good info and analysis about it here on Mastodon.
It is so beautiful with parents of autistic children get it. For any parents reading, please note the part where the author decided to limit what they share of their child's good and bad days.
When I learned my child was autistic, I was devastated. But reading about autism from autistic adults changed my whole perspective.

Here's a good look at the problems of unconscious bias training by Tiffany L. Green and Nao Hagiwara -- it's got links out to some of the body of evidence that @PragmatistProf mentioned.
