#WordWeavers September 5th: If you could collaborate with another author, who would it be?
Novels are solo work in my mind but I’d love to work in a writer’s room.
-Brit Marling and Zal Batmanglij seem like really kind and interesting people who I’d learn a lot from and really enjoy working with.
-Matt Stone & Trey Parker are hilarious and intelligent and I think my brain works similar to theirs.
-Amy Poehler is a class act & done some stuff I love.

The Israeli army has extended its assault on the Jenin refugee camp, after an order from the Defence Minister.
It's killed at least 39 Palestinians in the occupied West Bank in nine days. Israel says it's targeting Palestinians it believes were involved in attacks against Israeli civilians.
Medics treat casualties, but now also deliver food and other basics, or help residents make necessary trips across the city.

You may have seen this quote before. It's beautifully stated, and although Krishnamurti himself probably never spoke these exact words, it conveys an idea, an important idea, like that tale of the Emperor's New Clothes.
All you have to do is really look. Take the blinders off. Ignore the propaganda. Forget what you've been taught.
😳 The Emperor is naked.
😳 Society is sick.
😳 Capitalism is killing us.
😳 Green Growth™ is a dead end.

Would have been great if the reporter said, “I’m not asking about it for this school shooting. I’m asking for the one that happened in Atlanta in February because we still haven’t made schools safer since then.”

Open Research Europe (ORE) is poised to become a decentralized #openscience network, supported by funders and institutions:

I have a suggestion: EU funders develop a policy that they only fund applications from members of institutions that support ORE. This policy does not cost a single cent and incentivizes good scientific practice.
My #introduction on my new shiny mathstodon.xyz account! I'm slowly deprecating my @alexmath account but I'm kinda bad at fediverse stuff 😅
Hi all! I am Alex (she/her), a #trans mathematician with a PhD in extremal combinatorics now working in as a data scientist. I am a deeply curious experimentalist and I love to learn different topics. My favorite programming languages are #rust and #python but I've had some fun with #cuda GPGPU, too :) I like machine learning as a scientific problem-solving tool, but not the stuff that involves weapons, theft, and violence.
Presently, I live in #Philly with my fluffy orange cat Angus and my partner. I got a new bike and wish I could lose the car forever. Still masking in public. Still getting vaccines. Eternally exhausted, but hopeful and curious.
Fediverse etiquette suggestions welcome!

Linux-Mint-Nemo hat zwar mit "Bulky" einen kleinen Massen-Renamer dabei - allerdings konnte ich nicht entdecken, ob der mit den gängigen Parametern für Datumsangaben umgehen kann.
Man kann sich für diese Zwecke aber als Zweit-Dateimanager Thunar gönnen - da ist die Umbenennung sehr einfach umzusetzen:

Croire à la raison, aujourd'hui c'est devenir fou.
On a affaire à une classe de cyniques très féroces, capables de toutes les insultes (Corbyn, Varoufakis et Sanders ont eu le même traitement)
