There’s a not-so-small subset of the martial arts community that believes quite ardently that violence is a virtue. Relatedly, they tie this “virtue” to masculinity. I find these views quite perplexing and troubling for a variety of reasons. #bjj #mma https://t.co/4srFfLpBkm

Does astrology work? We tested the ability of 152 astrologers to see if they could demonstrate genuine astrological skill.

Yet ANOTHER much circulated antivaxx "study" withdrawn.

This is the nonsensical autopsy study used to (allegedly) support "died suddenly" BS.

Authors = antivaxx supplement salesmen supergroup.

Reasons for withdrawal:
- "Inappropriate design of methodology.
- Errors, misrepresentation, and lack of factual support for the conclusions.
- Failure to recognise and cite disconfirming evidence."

Ouch.

And NO, this is not "censorship" or "silencing." This is the academic process. Part of the marketplace of ideas.

"...stringent COVID-19 restrictions were associated with substantial decreases in excess deaths..."

Study: Restrictions & COVID Pandemic Deaths https://t.co/fFpskI4ldI

For some, there is now a blind acceptance of the revisionist version of COVID. Don't believe this ideology-fuelled BS.

1/ I’m an Israeli historian. My community is still too silent about the horrible war in Gaza. Over 8 months I’ve closely followed the war, reading >1000 articles and viewing >1000 videos/images of the war from all sides. My summary conclusions & full report are in the 🧵:

@getnormality Here's the short definition I use in my class: Critical thinking is a systematic method of evaluating claims, evidence, and logical structures of arguments.

@AuschwitzMuseum Never again applies to everyone, not just Jews. Why haven't you denounced Israeli ethnic cleansing in Gaza?
