My boyfriend has data like that, but he goes to a different school. You wouldn’t know him.

Posted everywhere and simply wrong. This is a measure of premiums collected minus benefits paid. Fewer benefits paid with everyone staying home for Covid, hence higher numbers then reversion. It isn’t a measure of your premium. I don’t think it’s malicious but please be careful.

A lot of credit goes to @elisabethbik.bsky.social who discovered the image tampering within a few days of the paper's publication in 2021. In my opinion this made its retraction inevitable. skepticalinquirer.org/2021/12/sodo...

Whenever someone says the “hard men create good times” meme, it is always clear they are morally steeling themselves for some cruelty

No joke: I got angry hate mail today for writing an obituary of a Black woman scientist—because the person felt she did didn’t deserve the recognition. Which just makes me want to share it again: www.nature.com/articles/d41...

You're absolutely right – this actually *isn't* a place of honor. * I thought esteemed deeds were commemorated here, but that was wrong. * The message wasn't about treasure, it was about danger. That's on me. * I won't sugarcoat it – the danger is still present, and now it's in your body.

I'm now co-author on McPike et al (2026) McFACTS IV: Electromagnetic Counterparts to AGN Disk Embedded Binary Black Hole Mergers arxiv.org/abs/2602.04135 After working with the McFACTS crew for a few months, we've gotten a ton of optimizations in, and just recently integrated a #Rust module!

Elon Musk publicly slandering that cave diver as a "pedo guy" after he begged Jeffrey Epstein for island party invites is just incredible

Great talk from @lhdjung.bsky.social at the SwissRN Research-On-Research day on his, our, and other folks' work to develop trustworthiness assessment tools. Finally his {scrutiny} R package has a logo!

This is fucking appalling. This is university-administrators’-heads-should-roll appalling.

Wiley: "We’re supporting responsible research assessment practices" onlinelibrary.wiley.com/journal/1520... Also Wiley: "Prove that your article is a good fit for this journal 😉😉😉😉😉 by citing at least two of our articles in your manuscript before we will even consider reviewing it" 🤡

Why was this code ever shipped?! This is from the second vuln, where keys' signatures aren't checked before they're stored in the trusted key store. Why would you ever ship a "TODO, actually validate signatures lol" in your secure messenger?!
