I'm listening right now to Italian PM Giorgia Meloni saying on TV that Musk doesn't fund political parties like Soros does. Unbelievable coincidence and unbelievable statement

When "anna1" from "anna03@neurology2025.com" wants to invite me to the "Neurotalk2025" in Nice's "Crowne Plaza" this is clearly spam. Not least because my knowledge in Neuroscience is below Scientific American level.

So this is my regular reminder: Fellows forward such mail as attachments to "spam@access.ironport.com". Forwarding "as attachment" is important - else it will not be correctly processed.

Numbers count. The more we resist, the merrier.

I'm preparing slides for my first conference talk that I've given in...25 years. Yes, I'm an academic biologist and I've not given a conference talk in a quarter of a century. After I gave my last talk as a PhD student, I vowed never to give another. I hated giving talks b/c I got so nervous. Am I nervous now? A bit. I've taught hundreds of classes. But those are students not peers. Why do it after 25 years? Dunno really. Time to get back on the horse. #AcademicChatter

"I didn't think there was anything left for publishers to monetize (after having authors acquire the funding, do the research, write the paper, do the peer review, and correct the page proofs for free while they take in all the profits), but here I stand corrected," he continued, adding that the "research brief" promised in the package "is essentially the abstract that you're writing anyway usually."

On archive org there is A LOT of music, and since there are no commercials annoying you I beg you to donate something to them, if you can.

Here you can listen (and download, if you want!) Sonny Rollins, "Alfie", 1965.

sto organizzando un piccolo workshop di 2 ore, online e in inglese, pensato per lo più per i sindacati che vogliono lasciare X e passare a Mastodon. Presentare alcuni tool (cyd, posse) e secondo voi cosa non dovrebbe mancare? se volete partecipare, contattatemi in privato! grazie

I hearby apologize to everyone I once disagreed with re: #fedipact and Threads. That platform is about to go to absolute shit, and I'm gone. Gone! Mark Zuckerberg can go fuck himself.

I'm livid.

But hey, now I'm back solely in non-corporate #fediverse and boy does it feel good. This experience has 100% convinced me that it's literally impossible for corporations to run social media. It always, *always* becomes enshittified.

And again I'm sorry I doubted y'all. You can tell me "I told you so"!

Ci avviamo alla fine del concorso 2024, con altre due opere di qualità: San Pio X a Cagliari da @Ann_in_a e San Fernando a Santiago di Compostela segnalata da @rastinza

"Sneaked references are references registered in the metadata of publications without being listed in reference section or in the full text of the actual publications where they ought to be found. We document here 80,205 references sneaked in metadata of the International Journal of Innovative Science and Research Technology (#IJISRT). These sneaked references are registered with Crossref and all cite -- thus benefit -- this same journal."

Is there a directory or good canonical source for website condoms (Nitter, Invidious, etc)?
