i think that the people interested in recriminations and score settling right now aren’t seriously grappling with the magnitude of what happened and the implications for the rest of our lives. most of us will probably die living in the political order that will emerge out of this election.

![Is it possible to cultivate more resilience to this kind of grief in the future?
Yes. Increase your tolerance for ambiguity and keep increasing your tolerance for uncertainty. We hate uncertainty in this culture.
There is, in fact, a tolerance for ambiguity scale. It was born out of a scale now called the authoritarian personality scale. [Editor’s Note: That scale was originally developed in the aftermath of World War II by philosopher Theodor Adorno as a response to Nazism. A higher tolerance for ambiguity is related to lower susceptibility to fascist ideologies.]](https://cdn.bsky.app/img/feed_thumbnail/plain/did:plc:5wgp627dhdxxx7zvmtpoz6yc/bafkreic4mpu4qg33urws35s35j6tkotyhqz7kpawmrx4dpbpc4dleuiobm@jpeg)

Nov. 12 is New Year's Day on Mars, and it will soon be Martian year 38. Um, what? And why now? "The answer involves a combination of natural cycles and the human need to impose order via somewhat arbitrary timekeeping—pretty much like on Earth." 🧪 Fun from @philplait.bsky.social

Pro tip if you're at a conference with name badges on long lanyards: tie a knot in the back so your name tag sits close to your face and is visible if you're sitting around a table. Names are hard to learn and easy to forget, especially if your brain is conference-full

I think it's really important to think in broad terms about Helmuth's tenure at Scientific American. Because it has been truly remarkable. Bear with me here, because I think this matters and is worth thinking about. 🧵🧪 #SciWri24

Laura Helmuth's impact on Scientific American & science journalism is immeasurable. She demonstrated how a major legacy publication could be a moral one: rigorous reporting on the climate crisis & untangling how science is political, such as explaining why trans kids deserve gender-affirming care
