I don't have many followers here, but for those of you doing qualitative work on transcripts I cannot recommend Zotero enough. Just import your file as a .pdf and you can highlight, annotate, tag, and make connections between transcripts. Took me a long time to find something that works so well!

It's always amazing to me how many people there are who either just don't like music, or who like it in a way (e.g background noise) that dislocates it from any sort of meaningful cultural exchange with the people who make it. This is just a new form of that phenomenon.

How TikTok content is spreading contraception misinformation

TikTok 'experts' spreading misinformation about birth control

As people on TikTok share negative views and misinformation about hormonal contraception, the algorithm rewards the engagement these videos generate.

if Eliezer Yudkowsky was born into a somewhat poorer family and missed a couple lucky breaks, he’d have ended up as an archetypal specimen of your friend’s older cousin who keeps boa constrictors and makes you listen to him talk about quantum physics in his parent’s basement in exchange for weed

Just wanted to share a picture from this week’s “Self in the Social World” conference in Heidelberg where I had a lot of fun nerding out about RPGs and mental health (so much so, I talked through the Q&A time) Also wearing my critical roll t-shirt to be on brand 💅

Perinatal mental health support in England used to stop when a baby turned one. GP records from 2m+ pregnancies: 5.9% had recorded mental illness in year two, over half new. 📂 Need is likely higher. Not everyone seeks help. buff.ly/RKJXPYy #PerinatalMentalHealth #MaternalMentalHealth

I saw wendy eisenberg play a chord across five frets like it was a normal thing

AI is a normal technology entangled with a normal demon. Leaving aside intentional use to make bad things worse, the former is going to produce normal accidents (some of which will be extremely bad) and the latter is going to continue making people lose their minds.

Really enjoyed transition from last week's new record (Chat Pile) to this week's (Jacklin) - so many interesting decisions on both!

Opened up Instagram and seen a dear childhood friend post a video about her autistic son (who is only five) having a horrible time in school and getting no support. My heart hurts. There’s so many things to be sad and angry about in the world.

OBVIOUSLY the underlying issue of radicalisation amd anti-social behaviour needs addressing. but one way to do that is to stop "fash agitator" being a fucking paying job.

Really interesting IPA study

Here's today's column on the astonishing, ongoing mistreatment of people with #ME/CFS. Please spread it far and wide: the only thing which can break the media's wall of indifference is seeing an article about the issue go viral. Thank you. 1/2 www.theguardian.com/commentisfre...

Abandoned, dismissed and gaslighted: there is no excuse for the way ME sufferers have been betrayed | George Monbiot

Changes in guidance and science seem to have little impact on millions of devastated lives. It’s a social crisis playing out behind closed doors, says Guardian columnist George Monbiot

As a special accessibility measure for people over - idk - 45? all short videos should come with a skimmable single paragraph of information that can, ideally, be half-read in the preview window of an email while completing another task.

Okay. Let's take them at face value. Put them in jail. That's the only logical response to such an "admission."
