Really pleased to be able to share this work by @deepit.bsky.social on predicting subnational measles vaccination coverage in sub-Saharan Africa. He shows that a statistical model based on country-level surveillance data can generate estimates almost as good as the DHS-survey gold standard 🧵 /1

I fucking love gadgets. I like new things. I set up a gadget savings account ten years ago to restrict myself on gadget purchases because I am a gadget loving freak. Pretty amazing for the tech industry to make someone like me into a tech dethusiast in a matter of five years.

Really wild how people continue to act like RFK Jr.’s problem is his remote history of heroin addiction in sustained recovery and not the fact that he’s a sociopathic, science denying, con artist, who wants kids to die so he can make a buck, which has nothing to do with him using heroin decades ago.

More lessons in photography in the snow (this time in b/w). I enjoyed shooting in b/w here as I could overexpose by 2 or more stops to show the brightness of the snow, and still resolve the sparkles in the snowflakes. 📷: Nikon F100 with 24-120 f/4 G 🎞️: Kentmere 100(?) #filmphotography

Artist makes website that lets you take selfies through NYC's network of traffic cameras. NYC Department of Transportation sends cease and desist. Artist nails cease and desist to a very very very long pole & holds it up to one of the cameras to take a photo of it www.404media.co/traffic-cam-...

Love that searching for information online now consists of “search query” + “forum”/“reddit” and then reading a bunch of posts to see if the website you’re looking for actually exists. In any case, but if anyone is putting on winter rims/tires and needs pressure info, tiresize.com/pressure-cal...
