In a time when powerful public and private institutions are bowing to political pressure, it feels necessary to say something I never thought I’d need to: The Open Notebook's commitment to diversity, equity, and inclusion is core to our mission, and that will never change. mailchi.mp/theopennoteb...

Woke or biology? There are actually more than the basic “male” XY & “female” XX sexes. Why? Because biology also creates people with single X chromosomes, or extra chromosomes like XXX, XXY, XYY, or XXX+, plus many 🧬genes. 👉All I’m asking is— please be kind to others. Thanks🙏

So, I'll say this: just this morning we got two polls showing Trump and Musk underwater with the public. So, yes, all this shit is terrifying, and yes, we're all at incredible risk. But they're moving fast because it turns out people don't like this shit, and we shouldn't lose sight of that.

#Petulant, petal? Posting paper-thin poisonous prejudices proves precisely peanuts. Please put politeness in pride of place, prior to paroxysms of preachy patriotic pageantry. Props, people! #vss365

I’m being harassed By a #petulant god Olympus is vacant He might be a fraud He begs me for fiver Which I find bit odd His ungodly manner Seems tinfoil facade A panhandling god Has my lowest regard But keep my lips sealed For I’m but lowly bard I’m being respectful But damn—this is hard #vss365

One danger of embracing generative AI as a learning device and in language assistance is that you're letting the keepers of that AI have power over what you learn and how you write. It will be programmed with biases, unintentional but often quite intentional, that you will unknowingly adopt.

"Waitin' for me to untie you?" The horse whickers and returns to cropping the grass. "I saw that mare back there. You'd love the chance to run off for some #unbridled passion." His laugh becomes a hacking wheeze. The horse sighs. Nothing worse than a master with a terrible sense of humour. #vss365

"You promised me a #reservoir of power - but this is just a dam full of water!" "You'll thank me in time. The old magics you seek are dead, gone the way of faith and community and stewardship of the natural world. Now, whoever controls the water supply will wield unheard-of influence." #vss365
