Elon is running a Twitter poll to see if he should stay or go.

It's received nearly 6 million votes.
He's losing by about 15 points.

He paid 44 billion dollars for this opportunity.

The ol' Elon bump. And bump. And bump.

Should I step down as head of the Universe? I will abide by the results of this poll.

Since twitter is now banning having mastodon usernames in your bio, they won't be in bios much longer. So this is a good time to take a last sweep through your followers with fedifinder, debirdify, and twitodon, all of which will find your twitter follows that list mastodon usernames in their bio. You can then output a csv file that you can then import to add anyone you're currently missing (to import, go to 'edit profile', 'export and import', 'import', and be sure to click 'merge' so it will merge these lists with your existing follows rather than replacing your existing follows.

#LongCovid #longcovid.social

My partner came up with the idea of creating an instance for #LongCovid in which sufferers, carers, and allies could interact. This is how longcovid.social was born.
He saw how useful the #LongCovid community has been for me during the past two years and wanted to make sure we have a safe space in case the bird site deteriorates.

So here we are, longcovid.social instance is now ready and hopefully will offer each other meaningful interactions and support here.

Manuel Blum and I study #consciousness from a #TheoreticalComputerScience (TCS) perspective.
TCS is a branch of #mathematics concerned with understanding the underlying principles of #computation and #complexity, including the implications and surprising consequences of resource limitations.

For a TCS perspective on #FreeWill, see, https://arxiv.org/pdf/2206.13942.pdf

Join us and the Harvard Medical School Center for Bioethics online or in Boston for a Neurotech Justice Summit on Jan. 24, 9am-12pm ET. At the summit, participants together with panelists will examine the meaning of "neurotech justice," its interplay with neuro-rights, and how a focus on justice can positively shape the trajectory of #neurotechnology development and application.
