"Some people, even many progressives, say they want to eliminate poverty but only with conditions. The eliminate-poverty-but position is a delusion. If the goal is to abolish or eliminate poverty, there has to be at least one program that is universal, unconditional, and large enough to live on."

New pub: now open access! More and more we are recognizing the importance of social science in conservation. As we work to incorporate social science at our fish & wildlife agencies, we wanted to ask: how's it going? Check out our survey findings! conbio.onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1111/...

one thing I believe is it’s important to celebrate good things 10x as hard and to look for them 10x as often because our animal brains are hard-wired to pay 10x as much attention to bad things; it keeps us alive, but it doesn’t keep us happy happiness has to be fought for, survival will tend itself

🧪 Detailed data viz NYT article, out today, on the extent of funding cuts at the National Science Foundation. This "broken pie chart" is neat & new to me: Powerfully shows the slowdown in new NSF awards across areas. www.nytimes.com/interactive/...

Something needs to be clarified: BOYCOTTS DO NOT HAVE END DATES. The boycott against Target is working because it does not have an end date, these large corporations can take a 6 day hit. There must be a demand and a consequence. We cannot not allow people to co-opt terms.

I know that people love to scream at anyone who dares to try to give people a heads up about how advanced "AI"-type stuff is (which is essential for being able to spot it to avoid getting fooled by it), but I think it's important, actually, to be aware that this is where the tech is currently at.

Well, at least we kept sight of what matters most: an octogenarian desperately keeping her claws embedded in her power so that she can continue to play kingmaker resulting in a septuagenarian spending his last six months on this earth being unable to effect any actual change.
