Elon Musk’s cousin called an emergency meeting of Twitter engineers at 230 AM after the Super Bowl because Elon was pissed his tweets got less engagement than Biden.

your Twitter recommendations will soon be decided by the crypto scammers, right wing weirdos, and Elon Musk simps who pay to feel important on this website

Musk now amplifying false claims about COVID vaccines and athlete cardiac events

elon musk’s full response when asked by a fan of his with a trans kid to stop platforming right wing views, even if it’s to stabilize the stock price and not out of empathy for his marginalized fans the ross guy tried but elon just couldn’t help himself, this is how they are

Twitter bans some journalists who cover Elon Musk

This is getting bad. He's leveraging right wing pedo panic to malign former employees without basis.

Fired Twitter cleaning staff 'treated like garbage'

Breaking News: Hate speech on Twitter has jumped since Elon Musk took over, researchers found. Musk “sent up the Bat Signal to every kind of racist, misogynist and homophobe that Twitter was open for business,” the head of one of the research groups said. https://t.co/G7G2oZ89BB

Elon Musk's Twitter just suspended the account of antifascist researcher @chadloder likely to suppress reporting on right-wing extremists. As I reported, Loder's painstaking research identifying a Proud Boy who attacked police on Jan 6 was cited by the DOJ https://t.co/TagSTpsNkT

Lovely new paper by @Jasmine_Hardie and @ChrisCooney101 on brain size evolution in birds, finding that brains are linked to developmental mode, foraging niche, and social bonding / territoriality (but not in support of the Social Brain Hypothesis) https://t.co/LeEzXpZU0G

NEWS: A Trump-appointed federal judge has struck down Biden's student loan forgiveness program. As The Intercept's @kenklippenstein reports, one of the two plaintiffs in the case is a small business owner who had a PPP loan worth $48,000 forgiven in 2022.

Every week I can't fathom how #Andor could get better and this week Stellan Skarsgård delivers an all time top shelf monologue to close. It has the best writing in any Star Wars movie or show, and it carries on the tradition of Rogue One where there are actual consequences. 10/10

For mutuals my Mastodon is @GMcLeanLeighton.

Ah, so people with greater financial means, who already have increased control of the political system, now have relatively more access to the bullhorn. What a shit system:

Come work with us! We are searching for a TT Herpetologist Asst. Prof. with strengths in specimen collections and innovative research on herps in @CornellEEB. Apply by Nov 28th:

Academia is a job. Grad students are doing a job. An egregious lack of self awareness for a Yale professor making six figures plus to say that academia is a "calling". If that's the case they would only accept a salary to cover the most modest living expenses. And yet.

🚨 JUST RELEASED from the North American Bird Conservation Initiative: The State of the Birds, USA. It's bad news for most species, except waterbirds/fowl, where conservation efforts have made a huge impact. Read the report here https://t.co/qMTQuilAUI

If you wake up in the morning thinking about birds, have a Ph.D. and want to live in Miami, check out our search for the new Robert E. Maytag Chair of Ornithology! It just posted to Science https://t.co/gvA4Di0ykz @GMcLeanLeighton @kevinwinker @cowbirdlab @AmOrnith

I am proud to share this paper with you all, published today. The results are quite surprising: in females, #ornaments have equal potential to be #adaptive by acting as honest signals as in males, regardless of their tendency for reduced elaboration.... https://t.co/E96ypFr4bH

Been a little bit since my last #ornithology paper. Happy to see this out. Should be more soon on competition and aggression in birds.
