Remember that the NAACP is calling for a massive boycott of Walmart, McDonald's and Meta because of their about face on DEI under pressure from the vague notions of the US president and his friends. I would appreciate it you participated in this boycott too. It seems like it's pretty big […]

@reece I was thinking about your "Learning From Melbourne’s Level Crossing Removal Project" video at the weekend when I was walking here. This place is now a wonderful linear park and bike trail. There were 100's of people out enjoying it.

Fetch4 is a pretty sweet project I am collaborating on — imagine you could figure out where methane was coming from and where it was going — back in time through the eons. That and you get to live and work at the awesome BAS lab in Cambridge.

The state of peer review in LLMs and related subjects is just atrocious. Every time I've had to read a paper on them, the methodological problems have just been staggering. None of this shit is actual science, yet it keeps cloaking itself in the veneer of respectability. I've said before that […]

Happy to see a modern article on my favorite historical #housing reform: the great 1920 #AlSmith law of #NYC , which supported the creation of the many 1920s homes that are still popular there, though terribly pricey today […]

Air pollution has dropped significantly in #Paris in the last 15 years as a result of a deliberate strategy. Mayor @annehidalgo.bsky.social’s leadership has traded car space for green space, safe bike space, kid space.. and traded pollution for people. Good trade.

The new Trump administration have begun their book banning, and Julianne Moore's children's book "Freckleface Strawberry" has been banned, because it teaches children not to be sad that they are different, because everyone is different in some way — and that […] [Original post on mastodon.social]

I have learned that my friend Satyendra Huja has recently passed. He served for many years as the head planner for #cville and then later two terms as Mayor. I have been grateful for his friendship these many years and often find myself inspired by his many years of service and insistence on […]
