I like to think that this map of all the regional names for woodlice in the UK could also be a map illustrating the new tribes of humans to be found on the same landmass after The Great Digital Crash and ensuing breakdown of society.

in hindsight it makes sense to see cancel culture as a harbinger of the end of shame rather than an excess of it. "shame" presupposes stable social norms and a sense of what one did wrong and how it could have been avoided. not suddenly a thunderbolt from zeus thrown at random people

Cop: So u have any idea how fast you were driving?

Me: It's hot. Ice. Cream

Cop: Ma'am

Me: Tyra's favorite cold

Cop, drawing his service weapon: Ma'am step out of the car

Me, sitting perfectly still: Tyra's favorite HOT

Cop: Ma'am I will shoot

Me: It's something that has not been done before

Doing my part to bust epistmeic bubbles: looks like the the school district did in fact fuck up vetting and he was legitimately here without legal status and had been lying about background for a while. Not exactly a threat to public order or anything, but still.

In 2016 Hinton predicted that AI would replace all radiologists in five years. Ten years later, why hasn't it happened? This post is a great explainer.

AI isn't replacing radiologists
Radiology combines digital images, clear benchmarks, and repeatable tasks. But demand for human radiologists is at an all-time high.

In terms of who has the most DNA you talked about ways to have multiple unrelated genomes, but human genomes are very similar to each other... so do pig heart transplant recipients actually win most DNA? It would be satisfying if the answer was specific identifiable people.

We don’t need misleading charts to show that housing is in crisis.

The truth is absolutely enough. Use real wages, mortgage data, and a time-constant metric of work: Hours.

Clean code, real data, honest storytelling. That is how messaging needs to be done.

Hundreds of millions of dollars suspended for cancer, diabetes, and Alzheimer's research (among many, many other equally important diseases and endeavors) and for what? What is the point of all of this? Help me understand how this makes our country better, stronger, and healthier in any way.
The massive list of suspended UCLA grants came out today: 300 NSF and 500 NIH grants. I am miraculously not on the list, but this is devastating. Science will be lost, progress will be frozen, people will lose jobs, and careers in science and medicine are being destroyed. This is not ok.

This week, ICE illegally denied me entry into a processing facility in my district, and today, they released a statement saying I “[gave] the appearance of a political stunt intended to generate publicity rather than pursue genuine oversight.”

I have some thoughts.🧵

he is explicitly stating that antisemites have more claim to america than jews and he is making this case unprompted.
JD Vance imagines someone who

- has ancestors that fought in the Civil War
- has been labeled by the ADL as an extremist

“I think the people whose ancestors fought in the Civil War have a hell of a lot more claim over America than the people who say they don’t belong."

A lot going on there.

Extremely dark that the entire U.S. government is lying down to be steamrolled by something called the Trump agenda for fear of some force called "Donald Trump" while the actual Donald Trump has no idea what's happening
Helluva @notusreports.bsky.social scoop showing that Trump has no idea what's in his budget bill. Seems like something that ought to get a lot more attention.

Also this: a republican house member actually admits that they are attacking medicaid. Yes, they are.
