I really hate it when scientists keep saying that “we need to rebuild trust in science,” because it implies that scientists are to blame for the mistrust rather than the millions of dollars of dark money that have funded political attacks on science in order to advance a far right agenda.

I’m almost entirely over on #Mastodon these days, come find me at infosec.exchange/@itgrrl 👋

fyi: [@]itgrrl.bsky.social is no longer me 😢 someone else registered it after I switched to my @itgrrl.com domain handle back in the days before bsky started reserving your original vanilla bsky handle in case you ever needed to revert to it (& I assume also to preserve your skeet history) 🫠

welp, I got my domain handle fixed 🎉

This is extremely important science and everyone should read and enjoy the figures in this paper: arxiv.org/html/2503.23...

"You wouldn't download a car", ads shown by the MPAA in 2004 in cinemas and as unskippable sections of DVDs, recalled by @itgrrl . I also recall with glee that the *pirated* versions of these DVDS made those ads skippable.#everythingopen #everythingopenallatonce

Notes from Monday afternoon talks I attended at #everythingopen conference blog.darkmere.gen.nz/2025/01/ever...

Open isn’t open if it excludes - and it’s exclusive if it isn’t affordable, isnt accessible, if people don’t have the ability needed to use it. Darn straight @saera Also support your libraries! #EO2025 #EverythingOpen
