Members of Twitter’s Trust&Safety Council Resign
in Protest Against Elon Musk's 'Safety' Messages to Date
We are announcing our resignation from Twitter's Trust and Safety Council because it is clear from research evidence that, contrary to claims by Elon Musk, the safety and wellbeing of Twitter's
users are on the decline.The question has been on our minds:Should Musk be allowed to define digital safety as he has freedom of expression?Our answer is a categorical “no.”

My wife (@skaeth here on Mastodon) has been #writing #fantasy books for several years and has three self-published novels out now. They get good reviews, but despite that she hardly ever manages to sell any (we're talking like 2 or 3 copies a month)! So if you're in the market for an indie fantasy book or two (or three), I'd appreciate it if you considered her stuff: https://www.skaeth.com.

Does science advance one funeral at a time?

One paper morbidly suggests so: "after the death of a star scientist, the flow of articles by non-collaborators [of the deceased] increases markedly [...] and is disproportionately likely to be highly cited."

The top 1% most-cited scientists account for 21% of citations. So a star's death leads to a citation vacuum, allowing lesser known researchers the chance to advance and reform the field.

Today is Pearl Harbor Day in the U.S., a “day that will live in infamy” for the unprovoked attack by the Empire of Japan upon U.S. forces stationed in Hawaii. But it also marked a dark turning point for Japanese Americans, who overnight became the “enemy.” (1/4)
