I'll keep saying this until it sinks in:

The white US notion of masculinity is toxic, petty, violent, fearful, hurtful, and hateful. It's basically a grown man with the same emotions and selfishness as a 3 year old boy throwing a tantrum.

I'm OK if white people overall want to define that as masculinity for themselves, but don't put that on us. That's not how Black men define masculinity.

@[email protected] Periodic reminder: * Black men see themselves as more masculine than white men * White men see Black men as more masculine than white men * Black men are significantly overrepresented in the NFL, NBA, fighting sports, the military, etc * Black men are more likely to care about the environment, wear a mask, hug their men friends, participate in childcare, etc 🙂🙃 https://hachyderm.io/@mekkaokereke/112117180594047944 "American masculinity," is a euphemism for a very specific white US concept of masculinity.

Not enough attention has been paid to Poilievre's ability to decline getting security briefings on any subjects of his own choosing *even if he does get security clearance*.

He could still choose to decline to take security briefings about India or foreign interference in 2 CPC leadership races if he so wished. #cdnpoli

My god this report is damning.

Yes, it is damning of Stallman.

But far, far more so of the people and industry who have enabled him. He has been an out and proud proponent of sexual abuse for decades now. He posts it on his web site! How the hell can anyone justify any role for him, anywhere, or inviting him to any event, ever?

Let Stallman rot. I don’t care. But the people who kept him around while he was defending child pornography? My god

The Stallman report

October 14th, 2024 Richard Stallman (aka “RMS”) is the founder of GNU and the Free Software Foundation and present-day voting member of the Free Software Foundation (FSF) board of directors and “Chief GNUisance” of the GNU project. He is responsible for innumerable contributions to the free software movement, setting its guiding principles, organizing political action, and directly contributing to a flourishing free software ecosystem. The majority of Stallman’s political activity has been of priceless value to society at large.

@mloxton @GottaLaff FYI, they weren’t just test kits; they were extremely new and pricey point-of-care test devices from Abbott. I worked for another manufacturer of such devices at the time, Siemens, and having access to these when central labs were backed up for weeks is a big deal. We were also working remotely and desperately trying to aid the hardest hit of our allies including Italy and Spain along with our domestic clinicians. We were working 24/7 and it was a nightmare. Anyway not trying to be a know-it-all, but I happen to have some extra firsthand knowledge of the situation. Thanks for responding. đŸ„č

wow!
Angus Reid, one of Canada's top pollsters has deleted his X social media account after he was outed for posting misinformation along with a doctored video clip that misquoted Prime Minister Trudeau.

>> Sachi Kurl, president of Angus Reid, remains as moderator for the only televised #BC leaders debate set for tonight, Tues. Oct 8

>> Angus Reid has since reinstated his x social media account.

Both feel inappropriate after this weekend's debacle. #bcpoil

Life really was better 50 years ago.

Here's proof.

Taught my first class with Quarto Drop, which was great for showing examples on the fly. If people had specific questions, I could pull up an #rstats console and write up specific examples on the fly.

If you don't know what Quarto Drop is, it gives you a full featured #rstats or #python console that you can pull up with your slides. Nice so you don't have to window switch while teaching to demonstrate concepts.

It works for #rstats and #python, and you can install packages into the console as well. #datascience #teaching #wasm

Thanks @gws for this!
