If every social media becomes a video platform what’s the point of being every one as a content consumer? Like if I’m just going to get the same content from the same creators on instagram or TikTok etc what’s the value add for also being on twitter?

I don’t love how the inclusion of transwomen is build on testosterone limits. But it’s yet to be seen if national sporting organisations will apply this limit across all participating women. If we’re going to say that 2.5 nanomoles/litre has a competitive advantage I think that should go for all competitors

This definitely feels like one of those ‘why do I need this in a car?’ things.

It’s a little unclear who writes for phys.org from my quick scan of the website it looks like staff writers take published journal articles kinda make them easier to read and add some journalistic flair. I could be wrong tho the author information isnt easy to find on mobile.

Usually each article in the conversation is written by the authors of the journal article that specific The Conversation article is about, if that makes sense. It’s basically a good way for high impact academic papers to reach a ‘lay’ audience. Editing of the conversation article is done staff writers but I’m pretty sure the academic has the final say in publishing. I don’t think it’s a perfect system as it relies on the peer review of the journal the original paper is published in to provide credibility of the methodology but it’s kinda the best we have currently.

Seems like the ADF or federal government could a spin out a disaster relief division of the defence force.

If about half of the force (if I read it right) was deployed for natural disaster relief since 2019 there’s obviously a need for something more professional than ses/ community volunteer groups.
