"researchers found that ChatGPT consistently ranked resumes with disability-related honors and credentials...lower than the same resumes without those honors and credentials. When asked to explain the rankings, the system spat out biased perceptions of disabled people"

Awful. Stanford Internet Observatory, a fantastic effort studying online misinfo & related topics, dismantled after "a sustained & increasingly successful campaign among Republicans to discredit research institutions & discourage academics from investigating political speech & influence campaigns."

I don't know how, or where to write about homelessness in older people, particularly women. We are all vulnerable to the winds of fate, is all I can really say.

It turns out when you stop scaling analyses based on the racist and incorrect assumption that Black people naturally have lower lung capacity, more Black people are diagnosed with moderate to severe COPD, move up the lung transplant priority list, qualify for additional screenings... 🧪🩺

Happy Swedish National Day! One of my favourite Swedish words is maskrosbarn, which means “dandelion child.” Dandelions can survive in almost any conditions, even growing through tarmac, so a dandelion child is one that still turns out well, despite having a difficult childhood.

One of the ways they're fighting back: they have pivoted from spreading climate misinformation to spreading renewable energy misinformation. In fact, many of the people who used to spread climate misinformation are now spreading energy misinformation.

But the idea that fossil fuel interests would let the market beat fossil fuels is ridiculous. This is possibly the richest and most powerful industry in the history of the world and they will fight tooth and nail to keep us using fossil fuels.

“At a rally against vaccine mandates in Washington, DC, RFK Jr. likened vaccine policies in the US to the actions of a totalitarian state, even suggesting Anne Frank was in a better situation when she was hiding from the Nazis.” RFK Jr hates when people mention this so fuck him and pass it on.

I got my grades back, which means I can officially say goodbye to the semester, and I've gotten a lot of new followers lately, so it seems like a great day to talk about one of my most favorite historical garments of all time: Countess Greffulhe’s tea gown.

Do you want to hear something weird about the Aurora?
I have #synesthesia. Every night when I close my eyes I get treated to something that looks very like the Aurora.
The last 2 nights all I've seen is something that resembles a brown pointillism painting.
Can a solar storm affect synesthesia!?

In 1919, George Owen Squier published an article on his work experimenting with using trees as radio antennas. It worked surprisingly well and he dubbed his new invention the "floraphone".
I asked MS Copilot to imagine the floraphone, and it suggested adding a surprised squirrel to the image. #ai

Mild and clinical depression are a bit different though. Clinical depression stops your ability to do your daily activities of living (showering etc). High functioning depression doesn't stop it, but makes it feel like torture. And most of it is treatable, if people can recognise it.

Theme from clinic: Depression as the great mimic of dementia. I can't tell you how many people have no idea they are depressed. My patient today told me their mood was good, but kept changing the topic when I talked about feelings. But an honestly-answered Geriatric Depression Scale never lies.
