Reposting my recent fieldwork thread from Twitter so as to have Content. Posts/images from July. Incoming: lizards, science, beautiful Alpine vistas 🧵
I'd meant to make a new fieldwork thread like this one for 2025, but instead we've gone and made a whole account for it: @teamlizard.bsky.social -- follow for cute lizard pictures &c.
Opened @zotero.org to find a flag saying that a paper in my database has been retracted. The listing was automatically updated with a link to the retraction notice. Very cool function!

Contemplating the eternal mystery of why buses, lorries, coaches, etc. will put caution signs "for cyclists" on their back left corners, but waaaaayyy above a cyclist's eyeline. Have they never seen a bicycle?

I once knew a Federal bank examiner, and one time someone asked him why we had to KEEP inspecting banks over and over. He basically said every new batch of business school grads invents bank fraud from first principles.

The underlying cause of every bubble - debt masquerading as financial innovation - depends on not just short financial memory & speculative neophytism, but reinventing jargon of finance, like how each generation of kids has new ways to say same things.

Labour is actively wasting our money for the sole purpose of being cruel to people who have done nothing wrong
Labour's anti-asylum policies are already fundamentally inhumane and discriminatory. Applying them retrospectively is pure cruelty though. It serves absolutely no purpose. Meanwhile it will increase the costs and bureaucracy of an already dysfunctional Home Office.

fellas is it a conspiracy to remember events that happened
Because a lot of leftists/progressives have pseudo conspiratorial models of reality where they think the only reason Americans live in suburbs is bc GM tore up the streetcar lines in LA etc.

Yes, it absolutely does. I’m in Raleigh, where they were for one day this week before pulling out. There was a network of people who followed and reported them. They were clearly irritated because the attention interfered with them doing their jobs.

authors you have the chance to do the funniest thing right now
AI advocates have warned that if every author in the class action filed a claim, it would "financially ruin" the entire industry.
Authors celebrate “historic” settlement coming soon in Anthropic class action

Counterpoint: Worf's personality in a lot of TNG episodes was just him saying, "We should do violence," so Picard could say, "We shall do nonviolence!" In DS9, Worf was thoughtful (his spiel about legends lives rent free), hilarious, found true love, and shaped the course of the Klingon empire.
Hot take: Worf (the character, not Michael Dorn) was not needed on Deep Soace Nine. He doesn't add enough to the show to justify him being there.
I get the historical reason why he was added, but it wasn't the right creative choice. #treksky

By getting comfortable around humans (hello, garbage buffet), city raccoons may be on the path toward domestication … and community science helped prove it. 🦝

I'll be donating to help free Operation Midway Blitz detainees, and I hope some of you can join me. We tried like hell to prevent as many detentions as we could in Chicago. This is another opportunity to help our neighbors remain in our communities where they belong.

"Frozen hot chocolate" makes about as much sense as going inside a boycotted store to cross a café picket line.
Beginning Monday, a Frozen Peppermint Hot Chocolate drink will be available exclusively at Starbucks cafés inside Target stores.
The chains are hoping the drink can drum up excitement from customers this holiday season.
