Are the remains of your ancestors among the more than 12,000 held in the American Museum of Natural History in New York? I've found some information about c. 10,500 individuals, by geographical and/or cultural origin, and put it in a public spreadsheet (link in next tweet):

How do we teach American Govโt these days? Everything is unprecedented & EXTREME. Skipping debates, ousting the Speaker for not shutting down the govโt, hitting the campaign trail between criminal indictments, calling for a general to be executedโall in the last 2 weeks #wreckage

I know we're not supposed to be working during the strike but I couldn't resist giving this a quick edit pass
Real Time is coming back, unfortunately, sans writers or writing. It has been five months, and it is time to bring people back to work. The writers have important issues that I sympathize with, and hope they are addressed to their satisfaction, but they are not the only people

"Wear a mask if you are around others at risk for severe COVID-19" Let's be more clear here. Given how crowded New York is, in all practicality that means wear a mask in all public spaces.
COVID-19 cases have been increasing in NYC. Consider wearing a mask, especially in crowded indoor settings and particularly if you are over 65 or have a medical condition that puts you at risk for severe COVID-19, or are around others who are: https://t.co/sDk7zqX22B

"Are you going to wear a mask forever?" Dude that's not even in the top 1000 things I'm bummed about doing forever. I have to wash my dishes forever. Brush my teeth forever. Do laundry forever. Wearing a respirator forever is nothing.

I saw a headline which declared โCOVID or summer cold? Without free tests, many wonโt knowโ and it reminded me of how years ago the idea of cutting back on testing to hide case numbers behind a cloud of โwonโt knowโ was considered outrageous.

One way that @APSAtweets can address issues with the conference is to make access to the job portal free for the whole year. Previously job portal access is tied to membership. Given ongoing issues the portal should be free and open to all.

APSA Latino Caucus withdraws from the annual conference in solidarity with @UNITEHERE11โs struggle despite plans to celebrate 25yr anniversary and will reimburse all fees. Strong statement from leaders. ๐๐ผ

DO NOT USE SYNTHETIC TEXT EXTRUDING MACHINES IN ANY SITUATION WHERE THE CONTENT MATTERS. That absolutely includes health care. The idea that this is beneficial for people who we fail to provide adequate healthcare to is offensive. Repulsive even before you see who's behind it
LLMs shouldn't be used to give medical advice. Who will be held accountable when things inevitably go sideways? Also, this techno-saviorism crap is absolute BS -- helping "economically disadvantaged" people with AI is a myth.
