Elliott is basking in yuletide vibes 🐈‍⬛🎄

EXPLAIN YOUR USERNAME... At the old place my username was "we could test that," a stolen quote from my boss at the time who was a PhD psychologist. I found the clarity of RCTs very bracing at the time. I still do, where they are feasible. But for many important questions, they are not...

I keep hearing from colleagues "this person/organization/institution is into genAI, so you're putting yourself at professional risk by coming out against it". That sucks for those people and orgs. GBIF has a chatbot now? That's embarrassing and too bad for them. I just collect shrimp.

Bodies are such a scam! I need to: - do steady state exercise for cardio health - lift heavy for bone density and health - stretch and do mobility work to counteract the soreness from the other two - find time to do any other exercising/recreation I enjoy independently of the health benefits 🥴

Holy moly. Landslide ruptured buried gas line which caused an explosion (apparently?) and now a major N/S artery from Central Cal to SoCal is still shut down. www.latimes.com/california/s...

Treat your volunteers like they chose you. Choose them back. Let them teach you about your site: learn what they like. You've got it. Lucky you that your volunteers are there to teach you.

you know I'm spreadsheeting 🌱

The quoted post is a list of tried-and-true, reliable #nativeplants for beginners. 🌱 But what about the weirdos. The rarely-grown-from-seed. The fiddly little guys. Here is a thread celebrating some such plants I'm trying to grow. They are all native to my area (MD).

By my count I might have over 30 species of plants suitable to put in this 90 sqft patch next year 😱 clearly I need to decide which bit of lawn I'm going to kill next...

Do I... do I have a native bittercress in my yard 😵‍💫

You should follow Brett for fantastic bird photos and videos, based takes, and unabashed exclamations of bird cuteness (e.g., ROUND! BORB! etc)

I am afraid I have reached a life phase where I must nag people much more

Look in your Settings, Accessibility, Alt Text, Require Alt Text Then you can't skeet an image without Alt Text. It doesn't need to be a novel. Just describe the image

Richard, hate to say, but your offsketes really need to be on the feed during the same period as your cringeposts to have meaningful value. And they definitely can’t be posted in The Other Place. Gotta have spatial and temporal matching.

He’s riding his sleigh With all of the presents He’s getting concerned about planned obsolescence Because he set 2035 and 2050 GHG reduction targets through SBTi but still has yet to peak his annual emissions 😱

I feel like the classical radio stations are also on this wavelength (no pun intended)

STOP BEING ANXIOUS ABOUT EVERYTHING AND LOOK AT THIS LITTLE GREMLIN #birds 🐣

Went to a Christmas party in very different modes of holiday dress

Idc how you feel about JB or the very online Great Khan stuff, this is solid fanservice

I have logged off (professionally speaking).

My plans to catch up on my Goodreads reading challenge while on loafing the beach were foiled by rain, so now I'm even more behind. What are you favorite short (<=200 pages) books? Fiction, nonfiction, comics/graphic novels included.

Do you ever feel like too many people read that one Noahpinion blog? (no shade to Faine to be clear, Faine's not out here developing decisions on drone supply chains based on that blog)

This is an illuminating profile. Among other things, while I knew Peña-Melnyk had endorsed Trone, I didn't realize the decision was at least partially about who was missing from Alsobrooks's cabinet.

This whole thread is glorious butterfly content during a year I was filled with optimism, only to be wrong 😩
