Bertrand Russell, at 89 years old, to Sir Oswald Mosley, a man most famous for founding, in 1932, the British Union of Fascists. I'm all for civil discourse. But everyone can and should draw a line at who they will talk to. Notice that Russell did not demean himself with incivility, either.

Congrats to @stednitz.bsky.social and Andrew Lesak on their @currentbiology.bsky.social paper! They use HMM to identify two interaction states in #zebrafish: one visual for long-range interactions and one lateral line for quick, close interactions. Free link: authors.elsevier.com/a/1lCYh3QW8S...

So if you go anywhere near some fool who is wearing these gadgets, your image, behaviour and voice will be used by Meta to train their skanky AI. How on earth is this compatible with EU and UK privacy laws?? www.macrumors.com/2025/04/30/m...

Here is another reminder to be very careful when traveling to the other side of the pond 😱 www.bostonglobe.com/2025/03/27/m...

I wonder when tech billionaires are going to stop naming their commercial products after famous academics who don't have a say on these decisions since they have been long dead.

From the looks I'm getting lately, I think that this is how students in the lab see me going back to the bench for doing a couple of experiments 😂

Fed up with Meta? Avoiding Instagram or Facebook isn’t enough to stop Meta from harvesting and profiting from your private information. Here’s how to limit Meta’s ability to monetize your personal data.

I'm finding it hard to keep up with the avalanche of new users and posts. Hard to think that this place looked like this till last week

People making demands of BlueSky tech team, mods etc because it’s getting busy: BlueSky has a staff of 20. None of us are paying a penny to use it, and it has, at the moment, no way to monetise itself, as far as I can see, because it’s trying to resist any pivot to algorithmic ads or selling data.

All the people I could find so far in Bluesky. Who have I missed? go.bsky.app/APfxX5a
