Cookies were just the tip of the iceberg.
The entire online tracking industry is just getting started, and this video proves what we've said all along: even without cookies, Big Tech finds ways to track you.

Preliminary data suggests that the global average increase in atmospheric CO2 concentration in 2024 will be a record.
Not just a little record, but 25% higher than the previous record.
(This is the global average, as opposed to Moana Loa)

I’ve never understood why it’s meant to be surprising that x-information {creates outrage|travels fast|does what it’s designed for} more than information, which is merely true, not designed.
New paper out in @ScienceMagazine! In 8 studies (multiple platforms, methods, time periods) we find: misinformation evokes more outrage than trustworthy news, when it does it's shared more + ppl are less likely to read before sharing. w/ @killianmcl1 @Klonick @mollycrockett 🧵👇

I've never, personally, had any direct utility from traditional academic peer review for my scientific work.
I've never used that peer review as any kind of signal or credential in judging a paper or deciding whether to read it.
Nearly all the papers I read are preprints.

Fun fact: GHG emissions are rise so fast that every 3-years or so, the record seasonal maximum CO2 value becomes the new seasonal low. 🧪 #StopBurningFossilFuels
