Views of the walk I took at lunch today. There were a couple people sunbathing at the beach. 14C is still too cold for me. @laurentianu.bsky.social

@abhuibie.bsky.social more ethics in research
This is one of the worst violations of research ethics I've ever seen. Manipulating people in online communities using deception, without consent, is not "low risk" and, as evidenced by the discourse in this Reddit post, resulted in harm.
Great thread from Sarah, and I have additional thoughts. 🧵

The mods of r/ChangeMyView shared the sub was the subject of a study to test the persuasiveness of LLMs & that they didn't consent. There’s a lot that went wrong, so here’s a 🧵 unpacking it, along with some ideas for how to do research with online communities ethically. tinyurl.com/59tpt988

Can't we all just stay on "standard" time? Sun in the morning helps with the rest of the day. #daylightsavingtime #lateforwork

Today @smashfizzle.bsky.social shared that they want us SCARED AND ALONE, which means that to counter that strategy we must be BRAVE and IN COMMUNITY.
Stop spending all of your energy keeping up with the madness, instead channel your rage into action. Do something.

In today's episode of doomerism isn't a strategy, here's a list of things you can do today to make the world around you suck a little bit less:
Pick ONE thing and do it.

This is my "COVID" avocado. I planted the seed in 2020, right before the shutdown. It looks like a truffula tree. It is flowering. #plantsfromgroceries #avocado #lorax

You can be poor or you can be devalued. Not a lot of us have the luxury to choose. Unfortunately, it is sometimes hard for the "little people" to fight back. Those in government should be resisting. Those with money need to be resisting, not aiding and abetting. This is what a downfall looks like.

We hope everyone had a wonderful time this weekend that came out to participate in the Stamp Rally! Don't forget we've got another one next month, and plenty of other fun events going on between now and then!

How do you reconcile being told you are demoted, not because of talent and work performance, but because they didn't see your current role in the organization anymore? Your title, salary and responsibilities have been stripped, but they still say they "value" you. What would you do? #work #culture
