(1) Use the same handle to ease the transition to mastodon for people (mastodon.social/@_ppmv). (2) Couple of screenshots here and in next tweet to easy any anxiety about change. Thanks to @W_Lucht for making this point.
(3) You now have not one (1) but two (2) fantastic social networks to learn from smart people, ask powerful people sharp questions in public, laugh at billionaires, do oppo research, and not get any work done despite staring at a screen. It's going great.
A Mastodon instance set up by Twitter engineers is fun - but don’t see them as comparable yet. One example: without a Retweet (Reboost) option, M won’t develop the same dynamics as T. It’s the decontextualization (like here) that creates T’s unique density of information. @umairh
THE Rasmussen, of questionable twitter fame + media presence who has been fatally wrong on EVERY major pandemic question since the start? - Note, you won't find it in her CV but if there's anything, it would be Aug/Sep, not Nov, 2019. - I know nothing about this, but interesting.
If anyone sees anything interesting. - This is just some anonymous online comment that may easily get some accounts (=us) suspended, but AR either has gross personality problems - then her media presence would be inappropriate -, or competency problems - unlikely, look at her CV!
If it's not competency or personality, then it's bad faith. Nothing explains the flawed zoonati papers in A+ journals. Millions of lives are at stake everyone, this is no game. The correct frame is: we see obstruction of justice by virologists and editors. angelarasmussen.org/about
If the blueticks can please all make up their mind. Are you serious about stopping climate breakdown and a raging pandemic or nah. If yes, you all need to think a lot harder.
Hi all: here your integrated climate and COVID policy advice. We (1) identify the highest-leverage points available to you; (2) explain them in language anyone can understand; but cannot (3) make you change. (><) That's your job. ht #Klimaum9@RealTadzioM.
@n_thanki Part 2, here IPCC author @schipper_lisa. If the IPCC, whom I applaud but criticize for their excessive methodological optimism*, calls you out, that's a clear sign my friends. We're moving from the Now to the Never stage
China is currently on the major player in the pandemic - either has given up on zero covid strategy as reduced PCR testing 核酸检测 may suggest, conducts a limited experiment, or is genuinely struggling to uphold 清零. Could have profound consequences. 1/k
This is why we emphasized mental models and positive feedback from the start (best: @fitterhappierAJ). In failing to learn fast, most experts set themselves and the public they advised up for failure.
