fave new demonstration of survey items being really not that bad at tracking carefully-measured cognitive things: in 900,000 participants, a 5-item "how good are you at music" self-report (the colours) very directly tracks a 20min adaptive test of music perception ability (the x-axis)

Oil giant BP not only funded the research behind an influential climate science paper, but company execs even tried to revise versions of it. “Chaps, I have had a go at rewriting the paper,” a BP climate adviser wrote the researchers at one point. (Published June w/ @drilledmedia.bsky.social)

propublica.orgHow BP Execs Influenced a Climate Study That Shaped a Generation of Global PolicyBP sponsored an elite Princeton research center to address the climate problem without getting off fossil fuels. Its key work, a paper known as “Wedges,” guided climate discourse for a generation.

It's time the Australian government stopped funding terrorism! No more funds for: Santos. Hancock prospecting. Shell. Exxon. BHP. BP. AUKUS. One Nation. Murdock media.... Use the billions you save to fund Health, Housing and Education.

"A wild animal is not a luxury. It is not a status symbol. And it should never become another toy for the affluent, valued for its rarity or the prestige it confers rather than for what it is—a living creature with a life and a place of its own." thenews21.com/baby-orangut...

There was one woman, with an engaging face, she said "I am not only a great worker, I am twice widowed, and many men are afraid of me now" and she shook a cucumber in the lens of Capa's camera, and Capa said, "Perhaps you'd like to marry me now?" John Steinbeck, A Russian Journal #breath #words

Vikki Campion: "Feral pigs can birth after a 3-month gestation. By the time the paperwork for a gun arrives (6 months) a sow can have grandchildren". Pigs can't spawn until they're around 4 months old. Vik thinks they're up for some nookie on day 1. Surely she's not projecting ... 👀 #auspol

Replying to @pennyallmanpayne.com

There also needs to be one into corporate providers draining those packages by charging insane hourly rates for services. A corporate provider I worked for was charging clients $105 per hour, paying me $23.15 and charging the client a monthly “administration fee” on top. It’s outrageous.

So our public broadcaster no longer has an Indigenous department, but still has a (strongly Christian-biased) religion department. Curious, given that its legislated charter doesn't mention religion at all ... but does 'cultural diversity', 'cultural enrichment', 'muticultural character...'
