Guys! That the 2nd most prolific woman at #CCS2024 didn't even speak means #complexity#science really needs to platform & nurture female participation. Perhaps a "WiCS_Society"🧙♀️ like @WiNS_Society is needed.
Congrats to Marta (@martikagv) & Els Heinsalu (@researchestonia 🇪🇪)!
This recently published figure by @Sarah_E_Ancheta et al. is very disturbing and should lead to some deep introspection in the single-cell genomics community (I doubt it will).
It demonstrates complete disagreement among 5 widely used "RNA velocity" methods 1/
Well, @AukeHoekstra, Apollo playing the lyre in drag was certainly not skinny, so they'd actually be delighted.
cf. Apollo Barberini, Munich Glyptothek, inv. 211
(as in pope Barberini 🔥)
Note the thespian shoes indicating work on stage!
Apollo was a queen!

So this tableau vivant is in no way an insult to Christians. If anything one might claim that the pagan gods are insulted because the often somewhat effeminate Apollo is depicted as a plus-sized woman.
Some are angry about the "anti-Christian depiction of the last supper" at the Olympic Opening ceremony. (@elonmusk and @realDonaldTrump among others)
A Dutch art historian explains it's not the last supper but a Dutch painting of the Olympic gods.
And I explain what I loved.

I hope I’m wrong but this week feels like a dark inflection point for America. The tech bros have got their man on the presidential ticket.
My piece for @ObserverUK on the tech billionaires backing Trump. Welcome to the broligarchy.

It is 1933 all over again: 91 years ago the last election of the Weimar Republic happened in Germany. Then as now, they were open about their goals, and not enough people woke up.
#WokeUp
What's especially tragic here is that this will NOT be the lead story on @ThisWeekABC or @MeetThePress or @FaceTheNation because... horse race
HEY IDIOTS. TRUMP JUST ANNOUNCED 'NO MORE ELECTIONS'
Do. Your. God. Damn. Jobs.
Ironic:
150 years ago,
any educated commenter
would have easily recognized
this "Dionysos as rivergod"
(as a symbol of joy in place)
with a Thiasos of followers
(a symbol of togetherness in diversity).
There is nothing to get mad about,
except your own bigotry.
Here is something to get mad about:
Viewers get to watch the public #PARIS2024 broadcast in the dominant language of the country they live in, not even their citizenship.
Ah yes, and authoritarians & bigots are able to "cover" the diversity.
Shame on you, #Olympic#grifters!😠
