The delevoper of BirdsiteLIVE has ended his project because of the huge inflow from Twitter https://write.as/nicolas-constant/closing-the-official-bsl-instance
#Introduction (I'm new to this site)
I'm a Senior Research Fellow @IFPRI, where I've been for 27 years. I work on gender & intrahh issues, nutrition-sensitive agriculture, poverty & economic mobility.
I'm from the Philippines and growing up there has shaped my views on things A LOT. Like the need to decolonize development research.
I'm one of many co-editors of Food Policy.
I'm also crazy about turtles.
@jschmittwdc @epi @ceprdc welcome
The NHL and NHLPA have decided to delay next World Cup of Hockey until February 2025.
By delaying the tournament, the league and its players association are also able to delay a decision about Russia’s participation in the event. https://toronto.citynews.ca/2022/11/11/world-cup-of-hockey-delay/
@SocraticEthics France will stand… aside and watch
@deNew_John this is awfully nice, thanks!
I am a health economist who uses #econometrics for my research on health #inequalities. I am professor of economics at the University of York. I use social media mostly to provide information on our research at the Health, Econometrics and Data Group (HEDG), my workshops on DataViz and policy evaluation, and the annual European Workshops on Econometrics and Health Economics and their Asian, Australasian and North American counterparts
@nic that doesn’t seem very neighbourly of you.
@SocraticEthics bravest heroes ever
https://t.me/liveukraine_eng/804 ⚡️🇺🇦 President Zelensky: Today is a historic day. We are regaining Kherson. As of now, our defenders are approaching the city. But special units are already in the city. The people of Kherson were waiting. They never gave up on Ukraine. Hope for Ukraine is always justified – and Ukraine always regains its own. And even when the city is not yet completely (VIDEO and more) #Ukraine #News #War #Russia
@eugeniozucchelli most def follow Eugenio: super positive guy, informative helpful tweets back on the old platform
RT @DmitryOpines@twitter.com
Lord knows the European Project has its problems, and nothing is easier than cynicism, but the first thing Ukraine's heroes did upon reaching the centre of newly liberated Kherson was hang it up right alongside their own.

Hey everyone. Just making sure everyone knows that direct messages on here are not end-to-end encrypted. They work more like a post, with visibility set to the person/people you tag.
This means an admin (like me), can read these by looking at the database/in backups.
I promise never to do this.
If that's not good enough (which is fine, obviously), please use something like signal for DMs
p.s. Twitter DMs are also not encrypted and anyone there can read them too.
