Verizon 5G, $35/month for the 300 mbps / 20 up plan (my needs are not huge, this does the TV streaming and the zoom meetings just fine).

Ah, right. I was wondering if we could go back to the golden age of science blogs as all the other social channels were imploding....

I was still posting at reddit until recently--but I noticed that even the top items in r/science are getting half the score they used to.

Well, as one of my advisors used to say in grad school: "Evolve or die". Nice to see you here too!

 

The Boston area college greenhouse expects their corpse flower to bloom during the week of July 17 2023.

 

This will be the fourth meeting of the committee on Understanding and Addressing Misinformation about Science. The committee will meet virtually over two days in both open and closed sessions.

Please join us for discussions on understanding misinformation in the context of the history and nature of science and implications for addressing misinformation given advancements in information technology (e.g., artificial intelligence, machine learning, etc.). This session will include a time of Q&A with the committee and audience.

They never regenerate the same. What I miss is the institutional [metaphorically] memory of an affinity group.

But new people and new ideas are nice too.

 

Chris Gloninger, a TV news meteorologist in Iowa, got harrassing emails and a death threat over his coverage of climate change. Now he's leaving the industry to tackle climate change head-on.

TIL that the moderation logs are public. That was kind of surprise to look through.

Huge, if true. I think a lot of people in rural areas need to be exposed to something besides Christian radio....

And it really could benefit people who have jobs that can be WFH now--people could live in these dying towns with real incomes, money to spend, and kids in the school systems.

I hope they get it right.

Riot Act (streamstak.com)
 

Many shows come to Broadway, having originated in London. One show taking London by storm is the critically acclaimed, Off West End sensation, RIOT ACT. Written and performed by Alexis Gregory, RIOT ACT is formed word-for-word from interviews with three key players in the history of the LGBTQ+ rights movement: Michael-Anthony Nozzi, a survivor of the Stonewall riots; Lavinia Co-op, an alternative ’70s drag artist; and Paul Burston, a ’90s Aids Activist. Gregory’s verbatim solo powerhouse is a breath-taking, hard-hitting, yet hilarious wild white-knuckle ride through six decades of queer history.

Three approaches that aim to cut the harms of agriculture — land sharing, rewilding and organic farming — risk driving up food imports and causing environmental damage overseas. An alternative approach is both effective and cheaper.
