I am from Missouri and do politics for my job, and am just now learning of this sit-in to protest attempted RW seat-stealing.

Ariella Elm @ariellaelm.bsky.social · Sep 6

I didn’t know about this, and if I didn’t know about this, then you probably didn’t either.

This should be my entire feed and it’s not and that’s a problem

This sit in has now been going on over 48 hours and I am just hearing about it now

C’mon folks 19 states are facing occupation, let’s make sure this toolkit makes it around BlueSky 🤗 WE are the resistance!

Trump is militarizing our streets to cover up his failing legitimacy: the tanking economy, the Epstein files, and his wildly unpopular ICE kidnappings.

Read our Resistance Toolkit now at bit.ly/resistancetoolkit, and share it widely. LFG rebel alliance!

So, I'm unclear about the following issue:
If I use QSIrecon to run PyAFQ, will I have the necessary files and output structure to use the group analysis tools?

Hmm, it is peculiarly resistent to sharing, but I put a copy on YouTube: youtu.be/BPlSYzk0FuM

Okay, just an experiment with Google's "NotebookLM": Kind of simplistic AI generated video based on your paper and related websites! Interesting though:

Over 100 of us got together in front of the office of Palantir in Georgetown, Wash DC today to call for the defunding of this org due to its surveillance & deportation, & otherwise surveilling our private data, among many other things. There was a tremendous amount of support from passersby.

The anti science bias against medical innovation will cost our country and our citizens dearly.

So Much for the ‘Best Health-Care System in the World’

Republicans used to trumpet the innovation of the American medical sector. Now they’re taking a meat axe to it.
