Charles Fox 🪲

@SawyerHackett It is at least on the front page of the NY Times website right now (third main story on the left)

Did all the major papers miss Trump’s former Chief of Staff calling him a fascist who often praised Hitler? I’m confused.

Ecological Entomology @Ecol_Ent is recruiting new Associate Editors. If you are interested in getting experience being an editor please consider applying. Details here royensoc.co.uk/opportunities/…

@MattPrinciple @mattyglesias I agree that muting is better, unless someone is clearly a troll. It allows them to see your content while hiding their responses. I mainly use muting to restrict tweets to specific lists, rather than my general feed, but I also use it to hide those I don't want to see anywhere.

@mattyglesias What’s your philosophical reason for blocking rather than muting?

@kyledcheney I am curious why the jury is not given a copy of the instructions. This seems a lot to have to remember. "These instructions will take at least an hour, and you will not receive copies of them."

READ the jury instructions Merchan delivered this morning: nycourts.gov/LegacyPDFS/pre…

MARK IT DOWN: Jury deliberations began at about 11:30am. We'll hear from them if they have a question ... or a verdict.

Srivastava et al. Editors are biased too: An extension of Fox et al. (2023)'s analysis makes the case for triple‐blind review besjournals.onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/full/10.11…

An exciting development from @EcolEnt - we are now switching to double-anonymous reviewing! The initiative will support @RoyEntSoc journal efforts to address bias in #PeerReview. More details here royensoc.co.uk/news/double-an… #AcademicPublishing @WileyEcolEvol

@Tabletop_Deals I thought this game was very good the one time I played it.

This little 2006 article by @AndyPurvisNHM contains the best bit of comic timing I've ever seen in an academic paper. cell.com/trends/ecology…

@MEOrive I have four codes if anyone you know needs one. Just pm me.

Code gone - if I get another, will share!

If you are one of my mutuals and need an invite code to a calmer, bluer place, DM me. We’ll meet again, don’t know where, don’t know when . . . 🎶

@KateLaskowski I have three invite codes. If anyone here needs one please message me.

@BrunaLab You are falling down on the job. I used the word “evolution” multiple times in lecture today, making them pliable and open to new ideas, like selection and drift. They will be “educated” whether they want to be or not! (Because pop gen is a required course for their majors)

@DanielBolnick This is not a Shiny app, but I use this for doing in class simulations for my pop gen class: radford.edu/~rsheehy/Gen_f…

@StephenBHeard Isn’t the narrator imagining a dystopian authoritative and thus oppressive school system, which is the reason for “thought control”. Basically, imagining what Florida is trying to do to their schools?

"We don't need no education We don't need no thought control" I mean, unless I've been doing it wrong for 30 years, education is exactly the opposite to thought control - right? #UnoriginalThoughts

"Another Brick in the Wall" was on the radio just now. I love Pink Floyd and 'The Wall' was an astonishing album. But the lyrics' opening couplet make it pretty clear that the band didn't understand ANYTHING about education.
