These guys are amazing. They are doing the good work to change things. It links to the original news report (not English) with a lot more context:

The true Saddam, well, he’s in our hearts.

This is a science community. We use the Dawkins definition of meme.

I like this take, but it’s missing something.

I’m half joking here, but what I’m hinting about is really reactionary politics in response to the polycrisis.

“A quick follower analysis revealed a significant shift from a primarily local audience on X to a diverse international one on Mastodon. Our followers include academics from various disciplines, open science and open-source enthusiasts, library professionals, historians, and advocates for a better online ecosystem. This broadened reach has opened up new opportunities for collaboration and knowledge sharing.” 💓 This is exactly what information sharing is about.

Please don’t feed Graham Hancock’s delulus.

It’s not a fraud. Science isn’t black and white. Discussing things is a good thing. It’s still peer reviewed and not retracted in a decent journal. Not everyone dismisses it. The authors have responded to some of the criticisms by publishing additional information in the linked “correction” (functions like an attachment added later). Science is a conversation.

Yeah, that critic made a career on doing hit pieces. I also find it unconvincing lmao.

This author is a crackpot that also went after Chomsky. Chomsky had a hilarious rebuttal from what I remember. He really has a thing for anarchists. I’ll trust these critics more when they do published rebuttals. I’m pretty sure several chapters in this book were published in some journals.

This paper has a lot of back and forth. Another commenter posted a rebuttal.
