@jenniferplusplus I have the impression that early adopters of the #Fediverse, of which many trans people belong to, fell into the false sense of comfort that there was a stable, uniform #fediculture. But #culture is inherent to #groupdynamics & a 100k group is not the same as a 2M network. While it's paradoxical to seek to enforce a culture across the Fediverse, a network designed to SUPPORT #divergence, I think it's fair to debate whether an #LGBTQ #instance should ban the #BBC or not.

Exuberance around #ArtificialIntelligence, along with a resurgent US #Dollar, has produced extreme #divergence and #concentration risk in the main stock indexes, chart @MorganStanley

#AllStarTrek That really was an exciting two parter, full of action, intrigue, double crosses (was #Phlox working for #Section31 as well?), weird science, and the deployment of a goddamn bioweapon by Dr Phlox at the climax - whoa!😳😖👍

I'll say it again, I find it difficult to include this as Star Trek, but it does work as a really interesting (or nutty) #TwilightZone or #TheOuterLimits series.🙂

@JerikkaDawn I recognized his face (didn't know the actor's name), and especially his distinctive voice. Great for playing vindictive prosecutors and dangerously ambitious (mad?) medical researchers. 😖🙂

#AllStarTrek I don't like to compare old (or whatever the heck #StarTrekEnterprise is, 00s Trek?) to #NuTrek, but Enterprise's episodes #Afflication and #Divergence handled Klingon morphological changes WAY better than whatever that was that #StarTrekDiscovery was doing (although I did enjoy that Timekeeper Krampus look👍).

#AllStarTrek I've seen the image of the Enterprise and Columbia together travelling at warp before, but I did not realise Trip was hanging on a cable between the two. This show really was doing some crazy s**t.🤦‍♂️😂

#AllStarTrek Capt Hernandez: "Do me a favor, Jonathan. Make this quick."

Why did that sound sexual?🤦‍♂️🤣

@MirrorAyako
I love the opening scene in #StarTrekENT #Divergence with Enterprise NX-01, Columbia NX-02, and Tripp!

Huiying Shang's preprint is now @PeerCommunityIn --recommended

"Drivers of genomic landscapes of differentiation across Populus divergence gradient"

In this study, we resequenced ~200 individuals from 8 related #species to comparatively investigate the #evolution of genomic landscapes of #diversity and #differentiation through time.

Take a look at it:

#Language matters.

There's probably no #facilitator that hasn't got a copy of "The #Facilitator's Guide to Participatory #Decision-#Making" (Sam Kaner, with Lenny Lind, Catherine Tolda, Sarah Fisk, Duane Berger) on their bookshelves.

While I like the Diamond of Participatory Decision-Making, I dislike the "#Divergence > #Groan #Zone > Convergence" partitioning.

Prime participants and facilitators by saying #Emergence #Zone for the middle, instead.

Groaning is *optional*, emergence isn't.

The Group Works #PatternOfTheDay is Divergence and Convergence Rhythm:

'Diverging widens perspective, explores new terrain and opens up options. Converging coalesces collective wisdom in moving toward focused decisions, concrete outcomes, and the end of the session. Good group process naturally cycles between these two, so be thoughtful about which to engage when.' https://groupworksdeck.org/patterns/Divergence_and_Convergence_Rhythm #GroupWorksDeck #divergence #convergence
