Came across a random Junji Ito popup in a mall in Guangzhou. Just happens to be its last day, too!

Sleep No More in Shanghai was so freaking cool. I have seen rumors that Punchdrunk is doing something related to Arcane in Shanghai next year. I hope it's true and I hope to make it.

Exactly. I remember when people were gushing over a bilingual Princess Charlotte but were looking at bilingual kids with a heritage language with a haughty attitude #doublestandards #bilingualism #langchat

I just remembered the time I was absolutely demolishing my friend's sister's monopoly high score on GameCube, so she got up and turned the console off. 🤣🤣🤣

Recent paper (Nature)-why are males more vulnerable to severe infections (ex acute #COVID), while females suffer more from autoimmunity (SLE, MS etc and also #LongCovid)? X/Y or hormones? We study adaptation of immune systems in gender-affirming testosterone treatment: nature.com/articles/s41...

Hope has nothing to do with it--DO YOUR PART!

Twitter & Truth Social are dying. Their users are used to farming outrage for engagement. Don't give them any!

I doubt I get many, but this is one I'd definitely love to do.
I've never done one of these, but why the hell not.

I have a good friend who is finishing his PhD in economics, and is interested in data science roles! Because of the impending government shift, his usual public sector job prospects aren't looking great. Anyone hiring for someone like him?

Six since the end of October actually. Don't turn away from us.

The places getting hit too are either very high-up places that NEVER get flooded or places that haven't recovered from Storm Kristine.

This was never just a local problem, we have to acknowledge that.
The Philippines have now been hit by four typhoons in the span of just 10 days.

Can't say I recall ever seeing this before.

A thread: The mass layoff of civil servants in this country would bring it to its knees. Here's one example:

- NWS not able to issue Tornado Warning due to lack of funding due to cuts to staff & equipment.
- Said tornado destroys community killing hundreds & injuring thousands due to no warning.
I honestly don’t think Americans understand how much their day to day lives depend on federal civil servants and now is the time for professional commentators to write op-eds explaining

My milquetoast take is that generative AI shouldn't ever be used with data visualisation full stop because hallucinated data is much harder to spot when it's been abstracted into a visualisation.
What is the most impressive thing you've seen #genai do with #dataviz? Whether it's creating it or critiquing it or otherwise. I've been so impressed by GenAI for code and text and image generation but have yet to see truly interesting use for data visualization whether charts or otherwise.
