After 7 semesters of @QUBLangCent classes and 422 days of @duolingo I was finally able to have a conversation with my Greek granny for the first time! #είμαστεπολύχαρούμενοι

Is agriculture an occupation or sector? Fascinating presentation in our first session this afternoon from @marangudakis on his paper with @sally_shortall

Very broad nature of the decline makes me suspect "the phones"

Really interesting analysis - shows how most trends need to be closely inspected to be properly understood

The reason seems to be that the proposition is wrong: veterans do not have increased suicide risk.

This may seem surprising, but it's not. Their suicide rates are elevated over the general population because most of them are young White men. That group has a suicide issue.

“Our estimates imply that without GM crops, the world would have needed 3.4 percent additional cropland to keep global agricultural output at its 2019 level. We also find that bans on GM cultivation have limited the global gain from GM adoption to one-third of its potential.”

I check the news and so many outlets and people in the UK right now seem obsessed with some celebrity breakup when this is happening with increased intensification every day in a European capital city and beyond.

The period between 2015-19 saw Greece at the bottom of the Democracy Index. The challenges to the rule of law were deep + wide, but not as interesting for many foreign journalists enamored with the rise of SYRIZA to cover. Greece is definitely imperfect, but thankfully improving.

The way we talk about “wtf happened in 1971”, future generations will talk about “wtf happened in 2007”

Eurostat notes:
"Of the 23 EU countries that saw a decrease in emissions, only 5 recorded a decrease in their GDP (Estonia, Luxembourg, Lithuania, Finland, and Sweden), meaning *most managed to decrease emissions while growing their GDP*."

Too clever by half, @ElonMusk just gave away the store. By making clear that he prioritizes @Twitter's presence in a country over the platform's free-speech principles, he has invited endless censorship demands. To gain compliance, governments will just threaten to expel Twitter.

A little painting I made today

@socratesccost @jordanbpeterson The most recent research shows that climate change has caused unprecedented warming in the past 2000 years

[Vangelis Marangudakis @marangudakis]

@zacharyherz @jenoconnell That’s a good point

This is where I was when it happened, and I'm still for nuclear energy, because I understand trade-offs
