Ok so. You can push players down/tackle but you can’t push *off* of another player to throw them off their track. Therefore, the lions player who caught the pass committed an offensive pass interference. Now, he did successfully toss the ball and lions got a TD, but it’s nullified bc of the OPI.

Like you’re 5? Oh. One man in silver didn’t use his words and pushed someone so his team lost

I need someone from sports sky to explain the end of the Steelers game to me like I’m 5

🗞️ The IUCN SSC has launched a Woodlouse Specialist Group. Woodlice are a group of 4,100+ species that drive litter decomposition, nutrient cycling and soil water retention, and yet have been largely overlooked in conservation planning🪵

i left gradually as twitter was my largest audience and i sold a lot of books and actually raised over $60,000 for environmental work using it, but thankfully i rebuilt my audience here very quickly and now have more engagement and more followers.

You guys, look what @joeymaier.bsky.social and @carylanneejmaier.bsky.social got me!

A lot has already been said about AI and citations but there is a central point I feel we're missing: as academics, we work hard for far less than our time is worth to write papers that will be read by maybe a few dozen specialists if we're lucky. If you don't love doing it, what's the damn point

Absolutely right. AI might be able to summarize (poorly) what we currently know, but a major goal of historical research is to find the hidden surprises out there. Let me illustrate …

If a key part of your job is getting information right and ferreting out falsehoods and untrustworthy sources, and the tool that’s supposed to help you do that keeps throwing you obvious errors, than yeah, you’re probably not going to *trust* it and may end up deciding it’s not all that useful.

suspect a big reason why many academics and others who work in areas where getting facts RIGHT is key are disinterested in using LLMs for research: they’ve tried it, they keep noticing major errors in output, and they conclude that having to verify all that doesn’t actually save them time.

people who are subject matter experts at things will get justifiably mad at you if they feel like you’re brushing off their concerns and problems with using *your* tech in *their* area of expertise people need to feel *listened* to

Some proposed climate “solutions” just don’t stack up against an objective, evidence-based perspective. That’s why the Drawdown Explorer calls these “Not Recommended” climate solutions.

I just read a clearly AI-fueled or AI-written book in my academic niche, and while I stumble to finish it, I predict that future historiography will have literature categories and markers like *published post 2024* or *published ante 2024*. Our days will be seen as the barrier between these worlds.

Photorealistic AI fakes are a serious challenge to public understanding of science. We are all going to have to pay close attention to reputation and data provenance chains. A useful post on distinguishing the fake from the real:

(not) sorry to keep hammering the point, but this really is the thing: as AI-generated video becomes more sophisticated, it will only become harder for non-experts to tell what's real and what isn't based on incongruous details, but an old-fashioned "source??" will always give the sloppers away.

As someone who smells a lot of live sharks, about the nicest thing I can say is that they definitely smell better than dead sharks.

Having spent several years in the lab cooking human urine with concentrated sulfuric acid, I would like to make the counterpoint that that smell is lower perhaps only maybe number 10 of worst smells I have smelled. Perhaps not even that high.
