Someday, I will have something moderately impressive or interesting to emphasize in a social media bio. The potential is there.
For now, a former grad student who studied the impacts of misinfo. Fueled by perpetual anxiety. Big fan of social justice.

us government went from telling miners “learn to code” to telling coders “learn to mine” in less than ten years
This “genius” genuinely believes that healthcare budget analysts can simply be reassigned to making toasters.

Cool, cool. Federal gov't seems to be functioning just great.
Hearing from federal employees tonight who are getting messages via their agency’s emergency notification system, which is usually reserved for snow-related office closures, that’s like DO NOT RESPOND TO THAT EMAIL UNDER ANY CIRCUMSTANCES, WE HAVE NO IDEA IF ANY OF THOSE PROMISES ARE REAL

I don't know how to get across to people that you cannot stop these fires once they get going with 80+ mph winds behind them. it can't be done. this is not solvable.
On the other hand “how can the city be so ill-prepared for a fire like this” BECAUSE IT IS A NEW KIND OF FIRE. CLIMATE CHANGE IS MAKING THINGS WORSE FASTER THAN WE CAN PREPARE. “Where is city leadership” then one second later “LAFD and amber alerts told us to evacuate” … that is city leadership babe
