My pleases-nobody sense of Return To Twitter Discourse is that the place can never return to what it was, and can never return to the idealized past version we imagine either, nor can that idealized past version be constructed anywhere else because it was always romantic self-regarding bullshit

I'm sick of being told by grifters and people who can't code their way out of a wet paper bag that soon LLMs will replace programmers. Repeatedly prodding the plagiarism machine until it spits out something that looks right doesn't produce quality and it doesn't produce results we can trust.

I am particularly proud of this paper by MSc student Steffi Wagenaar, in which we develop a scheme to make reconstructions of mantle convection.

Elon Musk casually, and illegally, dismantled USAID. According to a new study in the Lancet, that action will lead to *14 million* premature deaths between 2025 and 2030.
Again: Elon Musk is directly responsible for 14 million coming deaths. 4.5 million will be children.

Well, exactly. What does anyone think ppl are going to think of an army in the middle of committing genocide? Haaretz ran an article this week with dozens of IDF soldiers admitting they were ordered to lure starving Gazans into kill zones then machine gunning them. We're supposed to be nice to them?

In any conflict, we should oppose the aggressor and defend the aggressed, regardless of identity. I have only contempt for the Iranian regime, but Iran was attacked by Israel and the US without sufficient cause or legal justification. Israel and the US are the aggressors, Iran the aggressed.
