Nous avons payé 450 000€ pour un rapport médiocre sur les 1000 premiers jours de l’enfant – alors que Boris Cyrulnik avait rendu gratuitement son rapport sur le sujet.

Is it any wonder that we have a problem with #racism in Ireland when our Government engages in 'State sanctioned racism'...
RT @TadhgHickey: And so the Irish government put on record that they perceive a qualitative difference between a white person fleeing war versus a person of colour. This is state sanctioned racism and a shameful day in our history.

Adios au créateur de « Chapi Chapo », Italo Bettiol. 96 berges. Moi j'hallucinais de voir ça, j'avais 3 ans, devant mon poste.
Le mec qui avait écrit les paroles du générique, Charles Level (1934-2015), était un compositeur sympa, il avait écrit "la bonne du curé"

I'm doing a lot of research on text input devices for people with chronic joint pain and #arthritis. This is selfish. I'm one of those people.

I'll be documenting my findings along the way.

If anyone has advice, experience, or knowledge in this area please hit me up. I don't have a lot of reach on Mastodon but all of your words are welcome!

In #Canada, #JustinTrudeau caved to Donald Trump and retroactively expanded copyright terms by 20 years, as part of #USMCA, the successor to #NAFTA. Trudeau ignored teachers, professors, librarians and the Minister of Justice, who said that copyright extension should require "a modest registration requirement" - so 20 years of copyright will be tacked onto all works, including those with no owners:

Infamously, the Doyle Estate went after the creators of the #EnolaHolmes series, claiming a copyright over Sherlock stories in which Holmes was "capable of friendship," "expressed emotion," or "respected women." This is a nonsensical theory, based on the idea that these character traits are copyrightable. They are *not*:

“If you can’t be in awe of nature, there is something wrong with you” - Alex Trebek

Was reminded of this during a #Microsoft event this morning. Still great.

Rosalind Franklin’s research was crucial to discovering DNA’s double helix structure 🧬 but it was James Watson & Francis Crick who received the credit & Nobel Prize.

Unknown to Franklin, the pair saw her unpublished data & X-ray diffraction images, inspiring their famous model. They never acknowledged her contribution until after her death.

How many discoveries & innovations of #women do we attribute to the men who took credit for their ideas?

This is a story that I think did not get nearly enough attention yesterday. Meta just published a report about the action they've taken against 7 more hacking for hire companies and they've included a list of policy suggestions for curbing the hacking for hire industry.
