DAILY DOSE: Doctors' group formally retracts support for controversial "excited delirium" paper; Brain initiative hopes to atlas the brain's connections.

SIGNIFICANT PAPER RETRACTION. The American College of Emergency Physicians (ACEP) formally retracted its support for a 2009 paper on “excited delirium,” a controversial term critics argue has enabled justifications for police use of excessive force, especially towards Black men. The term, said to describe a state of unusual strength, pain tolerance, and erratic behavior, has been utilized in…

Hey ERM I'm seeing a lot of ppl on my dash reblog a post about an alleged "official Tumblr staff survey" being hosted on a Super Secret Unannounced Staff Blog (@/benevolenthellsite). This survey is fake as shit:

-the account has a weirdly quirky name and an extremely vague one considering the allegedly use as an "official surveying account"

-it reblogs every staff post, but, despite the other staff accounts all reblogging each other, the verified staff accounts have never reblogged the "survey" account's posts

-has not been mentioned on any of Tumblr's exterior accounts, has not been mentioned in any shareholder report released by Tumblr

-the survey platform used is an extremely unprofessional consumer-grade platform that was in the news in May for hosting thousands of phishing scams

-the alleged staff account, which again is @/benevolenthellsite, has only existed for a few months

-if this were an official survey of the site userbase, they would not randomly post it on a secret staff account and not promote it whatsoever. Additionally, the survey is not formatted professionally at all, almost every question requires a write-in answer which would be hell to gather data from at a large scale, and every question on the survey is extremely vague and the relevant data gathered from them would be virtually useless to a company

Please stop reblogging the post. Thanks!

multiple reputable news sources are retracting their statements on supposed rapes and beheadings happening bc of lack of evidence along with literal civilians coming forward and saying it didn’t happen, keep in mind the palestinians have no allies rn, no control in the media, and almost no support from major countries so this isn’t them “sneaking” in propaganda, ur being lied to about people in a literal concentration camp who now have their access to water electricity and food shut off, don’t fall for it
