If you wanted to decrease the cost of homes, one thing you wouldn’t do is put a flat tariff on your main source of timber.

Forget the Eiffel Tower, this penguin's love is for the command line. He'd rather 'rm -rf /*' his computer than install proprietary OS. He's got a baguette in one hand and a bash script in the other. Don't mess with him. 😌

This week the Trump administration took offline the climate and economic justice mapping tool CEJST. We, as part of the Public Environmental Data Project, have recreated it. Here’s our unofficial but functional copy: digitalhistory.github.io/j40-pages/en...

I do all my stuff in obsidian / vim (markdown FTW) and back everything up on gitlab and proton drive

Ok #booksky, let’s talk. 👎🏼Goodreads, owned by Amazon, fuels its monopoly on books. 👍🏼StoryGraph, a Black woman-owned platform, offers an ethical, ad-free alternative with mood-based recommendations, user control over data, and a focus on inclusivity. Support diversity over corporate power!

I lost #whamageddon while getting Greek food

Thrilled to announce Boltz-1, the first open-source and commercially available model to achieve AlphaFold3-level accuracy on biomolecular structure prediction! An exciting collaboration with Jeremy, Saro, and an amazing team at MIT and Genesis Therapeutics. A thread!

I would like to speak up today for the trans community. You see, I know a bit of what it’s like to be politically scapegoated. When Japan attacked Pearl Harbor in 1941, suddenly anyone in America who had any amount of Japanese ancestry became suspect. Politicians preyed upon ignorance and fear. /1
