This is an excellent essay on something you all know first-hand but perhaps have never named: Executive Function Theft https://hedgehoglibrarian.com/2023/08/14/executive-function-theft/ from @hedgielib

"...long-term immune system activation in several specific tissues ...SARS-CoV-2 RNA may persist in gut tissue for nearly 2 years after the initial infection. Overall, these observations challenge the paradigm that COVID-19 is a transient acute viral infection and provide evidence for T cell activation and viral persistence in tissues well beyond the initial illness."

#florida #library #literature #books Orange County Public Schools here in Florida is reviewing whether to remove Madame Bovary from schools because of its sexual content. I plan to check it out of my local library this week. I never thought, even living in the Banana Republic of Florida, that reading Flaubert could be an act of protest.

Note the account name being reported.

Note that twitter deemed that account acceptable.

Note that twitter specifically recommended blocking the account.

Note that Elon now plans to remove the block function from twitter.

See the problem?

Who is this Rorschach guy and why does he paint so many pictures of my parents fighting?

Gaiman: " If you really can't figure out which political party or which politician to vote for, just ask if they're on the side of libraries. Are they voting to fund their libraries? Are they voting to keep them free? Then vote for those guys. They're probably the good guys. And by the same token, the book burners, the book banners, they're probably the bad guys."

Why People Vote Against Redistributive Policies That Would Benefit Them https://thereader.mitpress.mit.edu/why-do-we-not-support-redistribution/

"Findings show experimentally that simply making respondents think about immigrants in a randomized manner before asking them questions about redistribution lowers support for redistribution."

"A lack of information about the level or rise of inequality does not seem to be the culprit for the lack of support for redistribution."

I'd like to be snarky about this, but it's sad to watch #Twitter's slow death. That stupid, beautiful site has been vital to me in my development as a poet. And as someone who can probably be described as Very Online, I used to find the site good in a bunch of other ways as well. But at some point, you have to go. He's deleting old tweets to save a bit of money on storage space. And meanwhile, all the tweets on the Arab Spring, the Mumbai attacks, etc, are gone. They're just...gone.

@CellySally use of ELN is not mandated at our place, but a solution is offered for groups that want it. Institutes that I know have mandated have given some choice to labs as to what platform to use. I can see issues if a platform was mandated because inevitably some labs would not like it.

I don’t think short term researchers using ELNs is really a problem.
