It's weird to not only have lived through an information revolution but also now living through its undoing, all within less than a generation.

All we need to do is fire every service provider and we'll have billions of dollars to provide services.

The measles outbreak in Texas is reminding me of the public letter Roald Dahl wrote about losing his daughter to measles in 1962, just before the vaccine was publicly available.

If you are cis gender, especially cis women, our voices absolutely must be raised in all spaces to protect our trans and nonbinary siblings. At every moment. I don't care what the organization, what the question, we use our bodies to hold the doors open. Full stop.

In a first, surgical robots learned tasks by watching videos. Robots have been trained to perform surgical tasks with the skill of human doctors, even learning to correct their own mistakes during surgeries. www.washingtonpost.com/science/2024... via @washingtonpost.com #robotics
