This quick, mindless labeling has become a way of signaling moral and/or intellectual superiority without doing any moral or intellectual work.

This is actually what is going to happen.

That’s already what’s happening in Lebanon. Israel kills regularly, violates the ceasefire agreement on an hourly basis.

It’s just not on the news anymore.

This is why pressure against Israel mustn’t just continue, but increase.

WE have GOT TO START differentiating between things that are Bayesian “culturally” and things that are Bayesian in principle.

I keep seeing people claim “only Bayesian models XYZ” but it’s not inherently true, it’s just easy to implement in bayesian software and harder in frequentist software

The whole world watched Britain pretending to believe the UN aid agency was a terrorist organisation, then we all watched as UNRWA was replaced by criminals firing machine guns at starving people trying to get bags of flour, while press and politicians pretended not to understand what was happening.

🔴 La Flotilla de la Libertad (Thousand Madleens Flotilla) ha sido atacada e interceptada esta noche por Israel.

En sus nueve barcos viajaban 150 personas, siete de ellas con nacionalidad española, que han sido secuestradas, tal y como ocurrió hace una semana con la #GlobalSumudFlotilla.

I guess because software allows it, ppl keep trying to estimate diversification rates on phylogenies. This is not in principle possible, because infinite combinations of diversification and extinction rates can explain almost any tree. Short, clear recent-ish paper: www.nature.com/articles/s41...

My friend’s dad Malcolm Ducker, former RAF pilot, dad & grandad, is among those still being held in a maximum security Israeli prison for the crime of trying to bring food & medicine to Gaza with the Global Sumud Flotilla. Read: www.middleeasteye.net/news/us-and-...

The infantilisation of Greta Thunberg is ableist. AND people not accounting for her Autism is reductive and disingenuous.

What happened to her and others from the flotilla is atrocious, clearly illegal, demonstrative of Israel as a terrorist state.

It is a deliberate policy: for two years now, Berlin’s mayor has chosen not de-escalation units but riot police – officers known for routinely unleashing extreme levels of violence against anti-genocide protesters; week after week, day after day.

Was asked about collinearity again, so here's Vahove's 2019 post on why it isn't a problem that needs a solution. Design the model(s) to answer a formal question and free your mind janhove.github.io/posts/2019-0...

tl;dr

Collinearity is a form of lack of information that is appropriately reflected in the output of your statistical model.
When collinearity is associated with interpretational difficulties, these difficulties aren’t caused by the collinearity itself. Rather, they reveal that the model was poorly specified (in that it answers a question different to the one of interest), that the analyst overly focuses on significance rather than estimates and the uncertainty about them or that the analyst took a mental shortcut in interpreting the model that could’ve also led them astray in the absence of collinearity.
If you do decide to “deal with” collinearity, make sure you can still answer the question of interest.

Felicísima por poder decir que me han dado un premio a la mejor comunicación en Artes y Humanidades en las IV Jornadas Internacionales de Jóvenes Investigadores INNOVA. Roro, ¡va por ti!

Portada de la presentación "La modulación vocal y el movimiento tradwife: el caso de Rocío Bueno", presentada por Emma Machado de Souza (yo). En la parte superior aparecen los logos del congreso (Salamanca Innova, IV Jornadas Internacionales Jóvenes Investigadores y las fechas). A los laterales hay fotos de Precio Bueno. En la parte inferior aparecen los logos acostados al contrato predoctoral cofinanciado por la JCYL y la UE (el que tengo yo).

Gráfico de distribución de frecuencia fundamental (F0) comparando tres contextos: videos de TikTok (n=446), entrevistas con mujeres (n=384) y entrevistas con hombres (n=1201). El gráfico muestra histogramas y curvas de densidad con la frecuencia en Hz en el eje X (150-350 Hz) y la densidad en el eje Y. Incluye líneas de referencia para el umbral de hiperfeminidad y el máximo típico femenino.

Diapositiva de resultados de la investigación sobre modulación vocal en redes. Describe el fenómeno de 'algorithmic femininity' y su relación con vulnerabilidad calculada (250-300 Hz). Incluye comparaciones con prácticas vocales similares como el clip voice chino, aegyo coreano y burikko japonés. Muestra imágenes de creadoras de contenido.

Lol this will sound snarky and useless but I mean it sincerely: Less hypothesis testing and less faith in the implications of reported hypothesis tests. And more programmatic, systematic exploratory research.

We must change our ways both as practicing researchers and consumers of research.

Israel says 'Gaza is burning' as it launches huge ground assault

An Israel Defence Forces official said ground troops were moving deeper into the city, towards its centre, and that the number of soldiers would rise in coming days to confront up to 3,000 Hamas combatants the IDF believes are still in the city.

Die Regierungen, die Menschen im Meer ertrinken lassen, sind mitschuldig am Massaker in #Gaza. Die Drohnen, die eingesetzt werden, um Menschen zurück in die libyschen Folterlager zu drängen, werden an Palästinenser:innen getestet. Hände weg von der #Sumudflotilla.
