Really charming "topologists world map."

Forget size or position, this map *only* shows which countries border which other countries: tafc.space/qna/the-topologists

it's another Mystery Mystery run, a randomizer run with unknown settings that may or may not be . Also I have some new emotes!

A BILLIONAIRE
CAN NEVER BE HELD ACCOUNTABLE

THEREFORE A BILLIONAIRE MUST NEVER MAKE A MANAGEMENT DECISION

The cat just went over to the HomePod mini on my desk, meowed at it, and Siri said "sure here is some music for you" and the cat perched on the window sill listening to Garbage and Elliott Smith.

I just want to know how long this has been going on.

You have to understand that Twitter only functions by having people to attack. You sticking around there to "fight the good fight" is GIVING THEM EXACTLY WHAT THEY WANT. They WANT YOU THERE, FIGHTING. You're not changing a damn thing. You're playing a roll they want you to play for their amusement.

DON'T DO THAT.

@supernovae@universeodon.com because transphobes get defederated here, what would be the point

@scanlime I am so glad that this, just, probably doesn’t matter anymore

@piegames be sure to scroll past the eighty-one footnotes for this accidentally insightful, top-voted reply!

like it's a sign that they're at least partially understanding how fucked their movement is

But if they paid attention to what Chumbawamba sings about, they would not be writing a long blog post full of little circles, they would be bringing unhoused people to the nearest fancy EA venue to live there. or maybe just setting it on fire

oh my god. the "let's fix Effective Altruism from inside" post quotes Chumbawamba.

"EAs who listen to Chumbawamba" is the new "fascists who listen to Rage Against the Machine"

@SteveBHolt If Google Scholar goes to the Google Graveyard someday, cis academics will be inconvenienced for like a month until they learn about Internet Archive Scholar, and trans academics will have an unprecedented improvement in their career prospects.

@SteveBHolt I think it is not great that those two guys won't let trans people change names, even when many publishers do.

Not that I'm wishing layoffs on anyone, but, this is one of many reasons academia needs to find an alternative to Google Scholar.
