Fine, I guess you can find me at either @hye@glammr.us or the SMZ3 randomizer discord

The Philadelphia City Council has officially UNANIMOUSLY passed the Get Out the Bike Lane bill banning stopping, standing, and parking in bike lanes citywide and increasing penalties. Thank you to @CouncilmemberKJ @CouncilmemberJG and the other sponsors of this bill!!

The City just announced plans to upgrade Spruce & Pine bike lanes with real physical protection 🎉 ATTEND the Open House: Thursday, October 17, 7 PM Jefferson University Bluemle Bldg 233 S. 10th St WE NEED TO SHOW UP FOR SAFETY!

It’s World Octopus Day. There were 4,200 Lego octopuses inside the shipping container that fell off the Tokio Express in 1997. We found our first Lego octopus soon afterwards but didn’t discover another for 18 years. They do still turn up though. Two were found in Cornwall this

I want to commend whoever was involved with this branding design - it's VERY nice!

Fact-check: Tlaib did not say Nessel charged pro-Palestinian protesters because she’s Jewish

Openscapes is at the White House this week! We're so thrilled to see our colleagues recognized that we had to boost this signal! Congratulate them and hear more at their community call next week: https://t.co/Twq8PAcmHd

From the perspective of maintaining an academic record, this functionality of @OSFramework does seem like a problem. I wonder if there is some technical feature of OSF that could be enabled to set up in a way to make a record permanent?

Relatedly why do ppl not see fares as a regressive tax? We want less driving and more transit riding. And ppl of lower incomes ride more transit. So why do we let drivers use roads for free, but charge ppl to ride transit? Again genuine question - I actually want u to say why lol

Mid-interview Philly protester goes off on Philly Police after they violently shut down #FreePalestine rally during #Debate2024. The realest, most accurate post-protest debate analysis you won’t see on TV #StopCopCity

We are at the annual C4R @comm4rigor meeting in Philadelphia this week! There have already been great discussions about improving education in the principles of rigorous research!

A few years ago, @KavliFoundation funded me on a project to launch a learner- and educator-facing set of resources for working with @NeurodataWB files. I'm excited to say that the first set of "nwb4edu" lessons are now live and ready for adapting! https://t.co/Nzsyhgb0Jz

I'm curious who signed off on this part: "UF agreed to continue to pay Sasse a base salary of just over $1 million through February 2028 ..., according to a contract addendum dated July 18, the same day Sasse publicly announced his resignation."

The National Gallery in London is renovating its Sainsbury Wing and they’ve just found a secret letter from one of the original donors, sunk into a concrete column, saying that he hates the columns and is glad they’re being demolished. 10/10 unhinged rich man behaviour, no notes

Queen guitarist Brian May on science: "Everything comes down to asking the right questions and keeping an open mind, and resisting the terrible inclination that scientists have, because they’re human beings, of finding what you expect to find."

For #FollowFriday my friend @ambikamath (and coauthor) are writing a book about how human biases shape our understanding of animal behavior!! If this sounds up your alley, please preorder it to help boost sales! :D https://t.co/uXHXQXrC3Y

Reminds me of https://t.co/3oLzdLCoKY , which @ragamouf shared in Carpentries slack last week. TLDR; when asked to evaluate learning and teaching, students often rate "satisfaction" (see also attribute substitution); satisfaction and learning are often at odds with each other!

There's a lot of privilege to be teaching subjects that are unlikely to expose you to that level of public critique. And one could legitimately also discuss the socio-political context for why certain version control tools are adopted over others beyond just technical merits!

"Don't bring politics into teaching" I agree with not bringing up who I vote for when I'm teaching a class on version control with git. Some folks use it to suspend public health faculty who discuss how some policy decisions affect health outcomes.
