Umm wtf?! How on earth is that ethical?

It's the drop you've all been waiting for... AMR People Vol. 3 ! If you're thinking "but wait, I should be in an AMR People Pack", no worries - let me know you want in! Don't forget Vol 1 and 2! And the AMR feed that captures all the AMR posts in one place! bsky.app/profile/did:...

Just days after Doctors Without Borders (MSF) announced it had to stop medical work in Gaza City due to Israeli attacks, Israeli forces have killed staff member Omar Hayek & injured 4 others in Deir al Balah. Staff were wearing MSF vests, waiting for a bus to a field hospital.

An eye opening episode from @markleongoldberg.bsky.social on Global Dispatches podcast Considering the shitstorm of the news you might have missed the attacks on apparent drug smuggling boats from Venezuela, killing all on board The US admin is using "war on terror" language to justify their actions

Science teachers take note.

The @tldrnews.bsky.social Global channel made a video about the proposed "Gaza Peace Plan". Apparently Point 9 states that Gaza is to be governed by a technocratic committee overseen by a "Peace Board" which will be chaired by T-rump until the Palestinian Authority completes its "reform program"

Outside of research and my moustache cat, I like making things. I took my first carpentry course in 2023, and two years later I made another shelf, this time for my many jars of tea and coffee.

Post cats from a different era (i.e. from before their current size)

I’m a fierce critic of Albanese Gov on their failures on refugees but when they show positive leadership it should be encouraged and recognised. Shame on the Coalition for attacking Tony Burke for welcoming newly arrived Palestinian refugees. This is his job, to champion our multiculturalism.

Why I keep banging the drum about calling them conspiracy fictions. Not theories.

How is this normal?? One in 15 Americans has witnessed a mass shooting

Best comeback I've seen for the argument of vaccines ("shots") cause autism

What about just not reporting Donald Trump's daily nonsense any more? All the "Trump claims..." and "Trump says..." articles have zero news value. Don't give him a platform.

The strongest predictor of autism is genetics. Data: • If one identical twin has ASD, the other has a 90–99% chance. • Compare that to 31–67% chance for fraternal twins. • Non-twin siblings have ~20% likelihood of ASD, 7-fold higher than general population. 1/

any #Rstats people know about cumulative link models (ordinal::clm) and can answer my stackoverflow question?

Hey #academicsky, why would someone become an editorial board member? What are the pros and cons? Anything you should take into consideration when deciding? #episky #academicchatter #publishorperish

When my cat was first prescribed Cisapride 2 years ago, we paid $95 for 100mL. This week I paid $140AUD. Whilst my vets changed drug supplier during this time, that alone cannot explain the almost 50% increase in price Marlin was also not impressed with this #costofliving #blackcat

The amazing team at @sciencevs.bsky.social dropped a #Tylenol podcast a few days ago, giving explanation of why the link has been made and how it's not quite as it seems A great example of bias and confounding, and how meta-analysis isn't always the pinnacle of evidence #EpiSky #MedSky

Exclusive: distinguished Prof Fiona Stanley was ‘ashamed’ after the hospital named after her abruptly cancelled an event featuring Palestinian-Australian doctors speaking about their experiences in Gaza, and says she even considered asking the hospital to remove her name

Surprisingly little comment on social media about this. Such a massive scandal.

This would make for a cool Halloween costume

The Australian Broadcasting Corporation, aka the ABC, has received so many complaints about Jimmy Kimmel being pulled off the air they made an Instagram post about it @abcnewsbot.bsky.social www.instagram.com/p/DOz073bjy9p

The @publichealthaus.bsky.social has voted to pass a resolution which includes the endorsement of the BDS movement targeting Israeli pharmaceutical products. Bravo. Well done. #publichealth #globalhealth #humanrights

Idk if you listen to the SBS World News podcast but I'm going to bitch anyway There's this ad about diversity and inclusion, with a woman softly saying "why do people want to go to work? To feel heard... to be part of something..." Umm sorry, I go to work to earn money 🤷🏼‍♀️ Equal pay for equal work.

Australia has imposed 1,600 sanctions in response to Russia’s actions in Ukraine. 1,600. And Israel? About a dozen, against individuals and groups - but not on trade. It’s not that we can’t act against a genocide, it’s that we are choosing not to.

This is the Ad that #Newscorpse initially pulled despite that it was already paid for by the Jewish Council of Australia. #Newscorpse deny they pulled it, saying it was delayed due to internal processes. Sounds like BS, I’m pretty sure they don’t want ppl to see it. Plz share.

Not really an overstatement to say that the test of a free society is whether or not comedians can make fun of the country's leader on TV without repurcussions.

"Protect them in conflicts and wars" The Royal Children's Hospital in Melbourne recently cancelled their Grand Round Seminar "Children in War" on the basis that some staff may feel unsafe. Describing the impacts of war on children is not political #paedsky #pedsky #medsky #auspol

Our target sample size is 200... Finished the day at 198. Fingers crossed tomorrow is the day!!!

Everyone needs a refresher course on basic human rights

Holy snapping turtles we can save posts now?!? Amazing!!! Thank you @bsky.app

I’m not the first person to make this observation, but this being the biggest story in the world at present really speaks to how much Twitter still serves as a universal assignments editor for English-language journalists.

I would totally support a crowdfunding to buy back @benandjerrys.bsky.social Don't know about you but I prefer my ice cream with a side of social justice #peopleoverprofit

I asked the cat farted machine for help interpreting my CLM model, as when I ran the nominal test I had some violations. It took me down a rabbit hole that in the end was a waste of time because it misunderstood something at the start of the conversation. Now my head hurts #rstats #chatfail

It’s good that Trump is saying that vaccines work. But you can’t have it both ways and say this while having an antivaxxer leading the top US health agency. RFK Jr needs to go!

What I’m least looking forward to is the resurgence of congenital rubella in a country where abortion is essentially illegal.
