“Don’t feed the trolls” also extends to bad opinion pieces in papers of record. They run them bc people react to them the most. If we stop linking to bad columns and instead post thinkers we find valuable (& generate convo around it), incentives change. It’s not easy and takes constant practice!

For anyone curious, this is what a BlueSky ratio looks like. Gotta love those numbers.

In my whole life, I have known no wise people who didn't read all the time - none, zero. You'd be amazed at how much Warren reads and at how much I read. My children laugh at me. They think I'm a book with a couple of legs sticking out. -- Charlie Munger

A bird's eye view over the north arm of Utah's Great Salt Lake. Vibrant pinkish-red waters, due to pinkish-orange algae and violet-pinkish halophiles, meet the blinding bright, salty white shoreline that is shaped into a wave-like pattern. An otherworldly setting.

Sarah McBride: "It is an attempt to distract ... Every single time we hear them say the word 'trans,' look what they're doing with their right hand. Look at what they're doing to pick the pocket of American workers, to fleece seniors by privatizing Social Security and Medicare."

One of my favorite parts of seeing Wicked was just how HAPPY people were leaving the theater. Adults, kids, and especially the theater geeks like me.

Canada's top military commander Jennie Carignan calls out the GOP for questioning women in combat: After 39 years as a combat arms officer and risking my life in many operations, I can’t believe that in 2024, we still have to justify women's contribution to defense and service in their country...

While I'm definitely worried about the negative impacts of the next administration, I'm more worried about the cover-up of the impact data. Recall that Trump did everything he could to hide COVID data.

One thing I find interesting about the echo chamber complaint is that an echo chamber just won a presidential election. Put aside the convo of whether it’s “good” or “bad” for a moment. The far right has devoted enormous resources + time to building echo chambers & loathes spaces they don’t control

I can’t tell you how different it is on X now after so many people have left. I have always followed mostly right-wing accounts because I cover them, and they are running out of people to pick fights with. So they’re just mostly fighting with each other.

I was there when the roof caved in on the Metrodome (tweeted the night before “I sure hope the roof doesn’t collapse” and woke up to way too many mentions), played a “home” game at Detroit on Tuesday that was WEIRD, then had to punt at TCF Bank stadium after it had been frozen for a month (cont.)

Frequent fliers from the last two years can tell you that airlines no longer consider "providing you a functional service" to be something you've paid for. They won't be satisfied until the transaction is that you give them money, and then you hope to get there within 48 hours, your life be damned.

Also, I’m going to reiterate that BlueSky needs to find an easy way for people to verify that isn’t owning/hosting your own web site. This place has the juice, which means the bad actors are going to start showing up en masse.

Let's talk about peeing in space. Several people, in response to my NY Times essay, have said that women couldn't go into space because we lacked the technology for them to pee in space. www.nytimes.com/2019/07/17/s...

AI apps like ChatGPT generate fake references to papers that don't exist. So, researchers at the University of Washington built OpenScholar. It's a large language model integrated with millions of research papers. And it's totally free. Here's how to use it:

No vetting at all, no background checks, and then blanket security clearances for all. Agencies holding national security sensitive material are presumably thinking very hard right now about what material they're going to leave behind in the files on Jan 20... www.washingtonpost.com/politics/202...
