@PGResearchHub hi. How can I join the discord? I’ve tried using the link provided, but it says that the link has expired. Thanks!
@pkm why do all the new note-taking apps not have handwriting? Am I missing something? Is handwriting not a part of note-taking? Is it not as important? Handwriting is crucial for people in the fields of STEM, so I’m just surprised that handwriting has been ignored by the majority of these new note-taking apps

Just posted this on the bird site - what is the last straw people need to leave twitter completely? I found my limit. I'm leaving.

For me, paying nazi, misogynistic 'influencers' is too far. I've long been passive on Twitter, but used it to distribute content. I can't do it anymore. The values conflict is too much.

I'd love it if some academics took a stand with me. I'm going to delete my (50K+) follower account on the 13th of August. I'm staying for a month to do a count down and encourage others to #DeleteTwitter.

I don't have a recommendation of where is best to go. Anywhere is better than Twitter and its ocean of hate. Appreciate a boost to build a bit of momentum for this protest attempt

Following the example of the German government and the European Commission, the government of the Netherlands is now running their own Mastodon server! No middlemen between them and their constituents! Welcome @minbzk!

Twitter is now paying people to spread hate

Reminder: if you’re still on Twitter—your presence and your interactions generate revenue. You’re literally funding the alt right.

Republicans Look to Give Themselves a Pay Raise After Securing Benefit Cuts for the Poor

"This is outrageous," said one critic. "Democrats should raise hell over this."

Common Dreams

"In the face of colonialism, slavery, opioid epidemics, environmental degradation and climate change, the idea that Western science and technology are the only reliable sources of self-knowledge is no longer tenable. This isn’t to lay all human misery at science’s feet — far from it. The problem is scientism."
