Look, this is just textbook scientific method:

Background: Phrenology is pseudoscience.
Experiment: Dogs come in many shapes.
Conclusion: I use phrenology to evaluate people.
Discussion: Buy Huberdude supplements for neck girth and high T flow state optimization.
In response to announcement that he will be a new CBS contributor, Andrew Huberman tweeted “I’ve always gone issue-by-issue on health & science, spoken to experts w/a range of takes & presented where I see the center of (data) mass pointed. I’ll do the same with @CBSNews”. In Sept he posted this:

Some academic publishing contract advice: make sure your contract specifies 1. a qualified human copyeditor will copyedit on the MS; 2. a qualified human proofreader will proofread the MS; 3. that production must have a proper system for version control (!).

I wrote this song on Saturday, recorded it yesterday and released it to you today in response to the state terror being visited on the city of Minneapolis. It’s dedicated to the people of Minneapolis, our innocent immigrant neighbors and in memory of Alex Pretti and Renee Good.

I will go further and say that people using the "r"-word are hoping that bringing it back opens the door to bringing back the "n"-word, and is strongly correlated with the people who want to carve off trans rights as a stepping stone to claw back gay rights in general
I assume anyone who says this word is probably okay with the n-word, too. Or, more charitably, doesn’t understand why they shouldn’t say it just that saying it would get them in a lot of trouble.

I made this ASL video about the SALUTE/ACTUAR acronyms re: observing ICE, but @bsky.app won't let me post here because, best I can tell, hands are moving too much? Anyway, if you have a moment to share, many d/hh folks have 1st lang that's not English.

Think about how annoyed you get when your connection is bad and photos aren't loading so you don't know what people are talking about.

That's what Blind people regularly have to deal with when you fail to copy and paste text from your articles into alt text, fellow journalists.
what is the deal with so many journalists on here refusing to use alt text.

get it together, y'all. honestly. it's not that hard. just scan the damn text with your phone, copy it, and paste it. do people not know how to do that???

Our new Mayor uses alt text? Most politicians and journalists can't be bothered. Amazing! Thanks!
This morning, Ms. Rachel and I visited District 2 Pre-K Center, where we sang and read with the wonderful students and educators. We also discussed universal childcare - and how we're making it happen for NYC!

Also, being a high profile person doesn't exempt you from the responsibility of providing access. 
Breaking news isn't a reason to skip alt text. Alt text is MORE important in a crisis.

Imagine how disorienting this is, now imagine not being able to see what all these viral posts depict.

I'm suing the Trump administration for making it harder to protect consumers by illegally trying to defund the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau.

The attorneys general say the Trump administration is refusing to accept funding for the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau, which could hurt consumers in their states.

Don't guide anyone's hand without their permission. It is disorienting and unhelpful. This is what the alt text says is going on in the cartoon.

Are any of my qualitative research folks around? 
Folks who specialize in Qual analysis (interviews)...what software are you using now? My uni stopped providing NVivo licenses. I would rather put my $ toward something cheaper if there are other good options (that *don't* require i give them my transcripts for them to use as AI training grounds)
