Så er LA klar til at bestemme, hvordan alle andre skal indrette sig #dkpol

Unbedingt anklicken & sich die Zeichnungen angucken, die sind voll charmant.

"Det bliver ikke så slemt, forudsat vi går tilbage i tid" siger min kollega tænktsomt-bekymret fra den anden side af kontoret. Jeg skulle have fulgt med i dén samtale.

Palantirs ejer mener ikke frihed er foreneligt med demokratiet. Jeg kan ikke understrege hvor vigtigt det er at få smidt Palantir og deres ubehagelige overvågning og samfundskontrol ud af alle danske systemer. SKRIV UNDER! Og få andre til også at skrive under. Det her er vigtigt! #dkpol

Lige for at stemple kortvarigt ind: Folk ved godt, tøj kan tages af, ikke? Selv folk fra liberal alliance?

I propose to make universal the old policy of the Blackfriars conference at the American Shakespeare Center: If you do not end your paper on time, you will be forced to exit, pursued by a bear. Literally, a bear will come take your paper from you.

What Epstein reveals is the ubiquitous sexual abuse of women & girls as a way for men to cement their friendships and demonstrate their status. It happens among billionaires, it happens among frat boys, it happens among preachers and tech workers and union contractors, because it happens among men.

“If a single animal can have several different genomes at once, which one is the blueprint? This may not even be the right question to ask...” Intriguing jumping-off point for a superb piece on why our favourite metaphors fail to capture biology; @elisecutts.bsky.social in @pioneerwork.bsky.social 🧪

I've been singing this to myself all day

"Because, even though wealth made Epstein a more effective predator, it did not *make him* a predator." This part right here matters so much. Yes, a shady cabal of the ultra wealthy doing this repugnant shit is extremely important. But stop acting like the wealth and power are *why* they're evil.

FT exclusive: “The US state department is set to fund Maga-aligned think-tanks and charities across Europe to disseminate Washington’s policy positions and challenge perceived threats to free speech.” via @annasophiegross.bsky.social and colleagues

Key conclusions: Ioannidis's paper, while important because it stimulated much discussion, is itself false. Most published findings are not false. Director Bhattacharya weaponizes this paper without bothering to re-read it carefully enough to get even the most basic facts about it right. 8/9

I'll get to it, only I need to figure out if the opposite of "procrastination" is "anticrastination" or "amateur crastination"

Situationen med AI er... hvad den er, men i det mindste er Words autocorrect stadig dum som en dør. Nej, jeg tror ikke, vi omdøber sygdommen til "Hidradenitis Superlativa". Det virker ikke voldsomt deskriptivt

My random, regular cry into the abyss is that fascism is fundamentally about gender, in that it's the ethos of Western white masculinism (Power, Dominance, Control, Strength, Force, Hierarchy) taken to its ultimate logical limit in worship of the strongman and purging of "weak" (feminine) elements

What seems to me like an amazing trait of internalized authoritarianism is that a person can be shown to have conscientiously prepared to exercise their civil rights, and it somehow insinuates they are disloyal to the state? Wow. This would only be the case in an openly authoritarian country. So...

Actually, you do need another fiber crafts-related hobby.

"international law must be followed" is european for "thoughts and prayers"

Nå, det er tid at sætte en stopper for doomscrollingen. Det var alligevel ikke som om vi skulle bruge folkeretten til noget

I feel like I haven’t even been properly lied to about the purposes of this war

100% seriously, European leaders and Commission officials should plan on the basis that the US might do this to them too, about Greenland, about tech regulation, about “Christian values”, about “free speech”, whatever.

So I could have been something cool, but, no, I just had to read Ali Smith and now I'm a nature blogger/copyright infringement reporter. Curse you, literature.

he's buying a list/he's checking it twice/he's cursing the states/where he has to impute the data on who's naughty or nice

A recent study purports to have found that multilingualism protects against accelerated ageing. I've taken a closer look at it, and it doesn't look good. New blog post: "Does multilingualism really protect against accelerated ageing? Some critical comments" janhove.github.io/posts/2025-1...

If men need a "place," why is that place always "in control of women?"

What gets me is that other R users always use packages with silly names, whereas I use sensibly-named packages such as "butcher", "mice" and "forcats"

Verdedigen we het Avondland? Dan beschermen we niet mythes, maar de waarden die het dragen: openheid, kritische traditie, wetenschap, democratie. Die overleven niet door nationalistische muren te bouwen, maar door samen sterker te staan. Het Avondland is groter dan #Nexit. 8/8

Og det betyder også, at Danmark nu ikke længere er et af Europas allermest lige lande i Europa , som vi plejede, men at der typisk er 10-15 europæiske lande med lavere ulighed. ec.europa.eu/eurostat/dat...

don't let anyone ever tell you science isn't a creative process. for example, i'm currently creating a fucking migraine

We seem to be teaching new R learners that they should make actions they repeat into a function, and that means they make a function running all of their analyses (say, 18 Cox models) and do no model diagnostics. Sowing: 👍Reaping: 😭

With sequencing of Hitler's DNA making headlines, time for a reminder: analysing a polygenic score from a dead historically-significant figure won't give new insights into that person's behaviour. In a brief paper last year, we used Beethoven's genome to directly illustrate the fallacies involved.🧪👇

I absolutely loved del Toro's Frankenstein. Smashing movie, would watch again any time. But if we want to address the very present motherhood aspect of Mary Shelley's work ... we need a mother. Because I don't think anyone but a mother knows what monsters we are. 21/

Pernille Rosenkrantz-Theil er en farlig kandidat for jøder. En god jødisk ven skrev i en Facebook-kommentar om @socialdemokratiet.dk's spidskandidat i Københavns Kommune og hendes antisemitisme og konspirationsteorier om jøder, da han studerede statskundskab med @rosenkrantztheil.bsky.social. 🧵

I am on the internet a normal amount, and when I read "PWP", I obviously think "Ah yes, the Prentice, Williams and Peterson model for analysis of recurrent events data"

I absolutely would not have gotten into even the vicinity of perinatal research if I had realized that you have to write in English and English does not have a noun meaning "pregnant person". Coming from a language that - despite its numerous faults - does, this is just constantly frustrating

The advances we've made in statistics, experimental study design, and causal inference over the past century are remarkably useful for understanding our world. But there is never been a push to make people use them like we are seeing with generative AI. Perhaps take a moment to consider why.

Doing some data management tasks for others recently, and it's striking how much more love you get as a data manager than as a statistician. Nobody ever brought me cake for correcting the flaws in their analysis plan. I'm in the unlovability business

The more deep learning I do, the more I like logistic regression

Cancel Socialdemokratiet Det er dråben for mig. De er ikke stuerene. Er du københavner, så lad være at stemme på dem. Tag SF, RV eller hvis du virkelig vil sende et signal: Skamløse demokrater. For vi samarbejder ikke med partier, der undergraver demokrati og retsstat #dkpol

They're not in a row, no, technically, but are we really sure they're all my ducks? That feels like a lot of ducks for one person.

Reviewer 2: "Jeg er enig med den kommentar, I stadig har siddende i manuskriptet, om at I burde forklare suppl table 2 bedre" Jeg bliver nødt til at løbe væk og stå til søs.

Er du tilfreds med verden og din plads i den, anne? Jo, ser du: Når myrer af arten Messor Ibericus får han-unger, er 56% af dem af en anden art (M. structor) Jeg ved ikke, om det var et "ja" eller et "nej". www.nature.com/articles/s41...

If ever you think you cannot do something, just remember: you are small, angry, and full of microplastics, which means you are a glorified hair dryer. Aim, rage, succeed.

Obviously it is a lie when Israel blames Hamas for the food shortages that are leading to starvation in Gaza. But if the Israeli lie were in fact true, the continued capacity of Hamas to control the food supply across the territory would be an admission of utter military failure on Israel's part.
