I need this. Don't take this from me.

I need a 2 part video series, where Sadiq Khan visits NYC, and he and Zohran Mamdani take the subway to Mets-Willets to watch a Mets game, and talk about hopeful things.

Then in part 2, Zohran visits London. They take the Tube to watch Arsenal play Liverpool.

‘Drop Adani’: activists take on genocide-enabling fossil fuel firm at Science Museum

Activists have taken on a genocide and climate change-linked arms and fossil fuel firm on London. Adani Group, who are based in India, have perversely been allowed to sponsor the ‘green gallery’ at the Science Museum. Hundreds of teachers have threatened a boycott.

Throughout my career people have both blamed me for not being something else (a wet lab scientist! a statistician! a programmer!) and also demanded to know why I haven't solved the biggest psychological problems in the universe (why can't you measure learning definitively and objectively in three weeks with a broken system where all the variables were defined by a junior engineer five years ago!)
in reply to Cat Hicks

I continue to wrestle with how many assumptions and stereotypes and field-specific attribution errors people make about psychology, but living in such an interdisciplinary and applied field, one that tackles so many topics discarded by other fields as too scary and squishy, does teach you a lot about seeing the tension and paradoxes in people's beliefs
in reply to Bryan L. Fordham

@Bfordham when I set up a research department, I and all my researchers were squarely on technical ladders thank god but that was entirely due to my ability to read through and negotiate a skill inventory audit that actually made sense for us and recognized the deep bench of quant and software skills needed for research. Many career ladders at companies are lazy, inaccurate, and outdated. Too few leaders take this as their responsibility for those functions
in reply to Cat Hicks

@Bfordham It has an enormous, compounding impact when all bonuses and everything else are immediately set off on a different, lower trajectory when it's shoved into "non technical." I've also had both engineers and non-engineers on my team and it's really interesting that people don't even realize when the engineers have for instance a much higher bonus % than anyone else for the same work. Tons of structures like this.

RE: mastodon.social/@grimalkina/11…

I wrote a bit about the psychological structures that drive this kind of setup at companies in one of my research dives; pay transparency is largely way more effective than a huge number of "in this place we reward performance" meritocracy interventions for managers, which often make biased evaluations *even worse* because they make people FEEL like they've unbiased their decisions, paradoxically, freeing them to be even more biased

Für die Summe hätte man alle Schülern/innen in Berlin Ausgabe z.B. von Anne Frank's Tagebuch geben können (Übersetzungen ins Deutsche, Arabische, und Türkische, gibt es schon). Etwas, was man literarisch auch weiterverarbeiten könnte, bis hin zu Spielfilm einer Dystopie, wo Islamophobie so ausartet.

Oder mit 390.000 Euro, könnte man Jahr paar Gehälter von arabisch-sprachigem News-Outlet tragen (auf unabhängiger Basis, im Unterschied zu den Staatssendern). 1/3

2/3 Und ich bin seit Jahren für Versammlung von Vertretungen in Berlin lebender Nationalitäten, wo man auch darüber schon längst geredet hätte, bzg. nachbarschaftlichem Leben, aber auch zu Völkerrecht (bis hin zu gemeinsamer Erklärung, insb. mit israelischen sowie palästinensischen Vertretungen, und gleich noch gemeinsame Pressekonferenz). Mag sich langweilig anhören, im Vergleich zu wie beim Bund Hunde auf Demonstranten zu hetzen, aber wäre meiner Ansicht nach ein viel besserer Ansatz.

3/3 Aber naja, ich wurde von Bundesagentur für Monat in Maßnahme gesteckt. Arbeitsvermittlung hat zwar anerkannt, dass ich schon Zahnersatz bräuchte, aber Zahnarzt-Termin erst im Dezember, und halt der große politische Drang, wegen welchem Mittel dafür, dass ich mir wohl jetzt Monat anhören soll, wie man Bewerbung schreibt, oder sowas. Und von der Politik aber kein Wort dazu, ob es also in sogar schon einem Monat in Berlin ausreichend freie Stellen für alle Arbeitslose gibt.

Interesting to think of this in #permacomputing terms -- it is entirely rational and desirable to adapt and reuse the gear found everywhere, used PCs in thrift shops etc. But these machines also limit our ability to think beyond their confines.

Every PC and laptop is fundamentally designed around the needs of corporations.

What would an alternative "our" computer look like and do?

I don’t really know the backstory on Mamdani, but the vibe I get is that he was not the choice of any organization but his own. I too, am sick of the donor-obsessed centrists of the Democratic establishment, but I’m also annoyed by identity politics of the progressive org candidates. Did I want Mikie Sherril? No. Did I think much of the other candidates? I did not.

We need younger candidates who can learn to campaign in the 21st century. #USPol #Vote

Apparemment, le gouvernement israélien a décidé de précipiter la déchéance d'Israël sur la scène internationales et sa marginalisation par rapport aux #démocraties et #ÉtatsDeDroits. De cette manière, les #nationalistes et les #fondamentalistes israéliens pourront crier qu' #Israël est seul contre tous. Mais, ils auront tout fait pour placer leur pays dans cette situation. Et cela avec l'accord plus ou moins tacite de la société israélienne.

I’ve done bird photography for almost ten years, but I didn’t get into it so I could learn about photography—mainly it was just to learn about birds. So I’m only now starting to get curious about different ways of communicating visually, which honestly I hadn’t thought about too much. Bird photography is pretty technical. You spend most of the time figuring out how to capture a small, fast moving object. That’s why we usually talk about what kind of camera and lens and settings to use.

Seriously, antivaxxers are going to bring back rabies among US pets. Soon you'll have to ask if someone has vaccinated their cute puppy for rabies before petting them!!

India has this problem (lots of unvaccinated dogs, feral). So you get a nip from a cute little puppy you rescued and then you die weeks later...

Economic Times (India): State-level Kabaddi player dies of rabies after rescuing puppy from drain and ignoring vaccine, calling bite 'nothing serious'

"...Brijesh, a 22-year-old kabaddi player, has died in Bulandshahr after allegedly not receiving an anti-rabies vaccine following a dog bite. He was a state-level player and resident of Farana village.

..The incident occurred two months ago when Brijesh was bitten by a puppy while rescuing it. His family said he did not get the necessary anti-rabies shots... "

BBC: British woman dies from rabies after puppy scratch

(June 18, 2025)

"...A British woman has died from rabies after she was "scratched" by a puppy in Morocco, her family said.

Yvonne Ford, 59, from Barnsley, South Yorkshire, had light contact with the stray dog while on holiday in February in the North African country.

In a social media post, reported by the Press Association, Mrs Ford's family said she developed a headache two weeks ago and later couldn't "walk, talk, sleep, swallow"...."

"...In the Facebook post, her daughter Robyn Thomson said the family "is still processing this unimaginable loss".

"She was scratched very slightly by a puppy in Morocco in February," she wrote.

"At the time, she did not think any harm would come of it and didn't think much of it.

She continued: "Two weeks ago she became ill, starting with a headache and resulted in her losing her ability to walk, talk, sleep, swallow. Resulting in her passing."..."

People: Virginia Woman Dies From Rabies After Doctors Misdiagnose Her with Anxiety

The woman was bitten by a puppy on a yoga retreat and then tragically sent home twice by doctors who did not realize she had the deadly virus

"...The unidentified 65-year-old woman began experiencing pain in her right arm while gardening on May 3, 2017, more than a month after returning home from her seven-week-long trip to the South Asian country, according to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC). ..."

in reply to Janice in GA

@Archergal Looks like this was a result of a concerted effort since the 1940's to control stray dogs and vaccinate pets. I hope this progress is not lost here in the US.

"In the United States, stray dog control programs initiated in the 1940s, combined with routine rabies vaccination of owned dogs, eliminated the canine rabies virus variant (strain) from circulation by 2008. The elimination of this variant of an almost uniformly fatal virus from a domestic animal species that lives as a companion in close contact with humans has saved both canine and human lives. "

Leave it to #NBCNews to lie in a fact-check 🤦🏾‍♂️

#Trump is somewhat right. Gas prices are going down. When gas prices are, on average, at $3 and going down, yes, you're getting closer to $2 gas prices.

#NBCNews is, however, correct that gas prices are up now vs. a year ago...by five cents.

In any case, I don't think #Trump did anything in regards to gas supply or prices lately, so he can't take any credit for this dip. It is likely a seasonal decrease IMHO.
