Since this is a setback in my career, it's quite upsetting seeing scientific societies in the US not up in arms that ICE killed a tourist because he "looked" Mexican. Or that this happened 18 times. So, this #FossilFriday, I'm announcing a personal boycott to institutions and societies in the US.

Ah, just what the academic publishing system needs most: less accountability. 🙄

The Government™ has made an ad about all these protests happening around the world, and it’s surprisingly honest and informative.

Everyone is putting so much effort and money into separating the work from the author, as if they were oil and water, and are ignoring that the author has pretty much made them an emulsion. HP and her are a rotten transphonic mayo at this point, and everyone has to move on.

I'm sorry for distant future historians who will read that on 19 October 2026 Trump said he could identify a giraffe, and then they will have to go through time -stamped footage to confirm he actually said that on that day but also that people at the time in the US all knew what a giraffe was.

At some point it does make a dent in my psyche how much Europe is normalising speech against immigrants. Because all of that, all of it, was made up by the US first in the 1850s after they invaded and occupied half of Mexico and then in the 1930s as Mexicans were blamed for the Great Depression.

Discussion of citizenship? It came because the US didn't want to let Mexicans whose border crossed them become US citizens. Discussion of assimilation? That was scepticism of letting Spanish speaking Catholics into the US society.

Discussion of stealing jobs? That led to the "Mexican repatriation" aka mass deportation as Mexicans became scapegoats. The European right is taking the template applied against Mexicans now against Muslims. Personally, since Europeans think I'm Muslim, the similarities are just not lost to me.

With the details becoming clearer, and as I embark as a Candidate in the National System of Researchers, we are planning an expedition to the Sierra de Juárez in Chihuahua to see what’s out there in those Late Cretaceous outcrops ⛏️⚒️

I'm at heart a statistician who loves dinosaurs. This video is what my eldritch horrors look like. "I'm just the statistics guy" - How's that an excuse? Making sure the images are real and not fake it's the first part of the analysis.

Today I'm posting a video about Neurodigitech LLC which has provided clearly photoshopped neurons to research teams that published these images in Nature, JBC, and more. A year after I uncovered this only one paper has been corrected. It's in Frontiers. youtu.be/4g_1_AWOVpI

Another banger📢 This one has given me a little bit of Schadenfreude, ngl. For white supremacists, white poor people are a failure. In their stupid, melted, rotten minds, people of colour and women are naturally inferior, so poor white men have no excuse. That ad was true to their rotten truth.

This month, the republican party released an ad featuring a white male gamer 'welfare queen'. The most unwashed conservatives on the internet are demanding only black women be portrayed in this dehumanising role. Let's talk about this racist myth and the outrage from freaks like Asmongold

The government *still* isn’t tracking how often immigration agents detain U.S. citizens. We are. 500+ Americans have been handcuffed, held at gunpoint or held against their will in Trump’s second term. Our tally is almost certainly an undercount. THREAD (content warning: violence) ⬇️

This is a Freudian slip ad. An anti-ad. "Are you a boss tired of having to do your job? Try ChatGPT so you can convince yourself that you deserve that job even when everyone else knows that for the past 10 years you haven't cared."

The slide show is hideous. Six years ago, PowerPoint had a "Smart Design" feature that worked 100x better than that. I really hope that lawyer is not a real lawyer. His job is to produce slop so that his understaffed colleagues under him do the real work.

What this ad tells me is that the intended audience is people who don't care and had offset the costs of caring to someone else. Or the add was made by people who don't care. Realistically, that videogame is ready to play in the time frame the ad portrays if it's just "rocket skip asteroids".

On the *same day* the Cornell Seven drugged and raped Jane Doe, Cornell banned four students (including the President of Cornell JVP) from campus for three years for nonviolent, pro-Palestine protests. The same Cornell officials let the rapists off with apology essays.

Those 7 men assumed there would be no consequences for their crime. The staff confirmed the assumption when they asked these men to *checks notes* write a fucking essay. Those men and the staff who enabled them were not worried about the future for two years. www.cornellsun.com/article/2026...

Last June, Andy Burnham was on a platform with Del Naja in support of the Fossil Fuel Non Proliferation Treaty, praising his ‘clarity and leadership’. Today, he’s having Rob arrested under the Terrorism Act for holding a piece of paper.

A woman was drugged, raped, and sexually trafficked to members of a fraternity. Two of the men involved were expelled. Five were given the opportunity to mitigate suspension by *writing an essay.* The dozens of other men who knew this was happening and said nothing? You already know the answer.
