Expect some tiresome Musk fanboys bleating some bullshit about free speech

He seems wedded to things he doesn't understand, whilst committed to gargling the deeply unclear language that he claims to oppose (Rule 10: “Be Precise in Your Speech”).

I wrote about his profound misunderstanding of evolutionary theory here:

@angelajnewton (Also Trump losing the election…though I suppose woodland animals eating a biscuit assortment might mitigate the End of Democracy.)

@angelajnewton A badger eating a Bourbon Cream?

As we all await the outcome of what feels like a make-or-break election, I want to offer some perspective, if you’ll hand a fellow with eight-plus decades the mic for a moment.

This oddly started accruing likes over 3 years later…my legacy as I gradually withdraw from X

@Anna_Mazz Obvious corollary...a water colour of a man painting with his willy out?

@Histropedia @wikidata Yes, thanks!

[Nick Sheppard @mrnick]

How long does @Histropedia take to update to reflect edit to a @wikidata item? Is there a way to force update?

@giovanni1085 @SiobhanLeachman @Wikipedia Thanks for the citation cc. @Andy_Tattersall (if you’re still here)

"Open access improves the dissemination of science: Insights from @Wikipedia"

Key result: Wikipedia increasingly relies on OA articles. Relatedly, OA articles have a higher likelihood of being cited in Wikipedia. The effect is particularly strong for highly cited or newly published articles.

Ok, here we go: Much of my work concerns the history and return of scientific racism. I’ve written extensively about attempts to resurrect the shuffling corpse of
race science and eugenics for many years. Bigotry dressed up as biology. 1/n

I’ll only accept “person dead” (wouldn’t matter* if they’d archived in a repository)

*well, it’s sad they’re dead. Obviously. But at least they’d live on through their DOIs
