We are experiencing an assault on science unparalleled by anything I’ve seen in my life. It’s not one issue or another anymore, the entire institution is under attack by the most powerful individuals in the country. This Friday, where will you be? standupforscience2025.org

I was trying to teach Orin a lesson about the world today and I asked, “what percent of earth’s land is our country.” And he stood there and thought for a second and said, “Like three percent?” And I was like, “well, pretty much yeah 😒.” He’s getting too old, I need new tricks.

I got laid off today, with the rest of 18F. 18F was an elite federal software shop. We made gov't websites work better, more efficiently for the American people. We saved taxpayers from getting screwed over by contractors. And were fired for it. We made this website to tell our story: 18f.org

Something I removed from my latest video which I now regret removing was the fact that YouTube uploaders can choose to prevent a video from appearing in the Subscriptions feed. If we uncheck "Publish to subscriptions feed and notify subscribers" during the upload process... it won't go to subs.

In serious news: across the United States conditions are right for civil unrest. Not everywhere all at once, but in difficult to predict pockets. Some of this unrest will be well-ordered, but even peaceful protests can turn into riots. 1/

I studied voting security in grad school under Prof. Douglas W. Jones, a legend in the field. I was a plank owner of the NSF's first voting security group. The Carter Center has asked me to consult on voting security. Hugo Chávez personally kicked me out of Venezuela. Listen closely: IT'S A COUP.

A (mostly) positive thing I can say the tech industry did was coalesce around USB-PD It's pretty great that when I travel my laptop charger charges all my things! That's often the only charger I bring, plus a cable to charge my phone from my laptop if need be. Buying cables is a nightmare tho...

Okay, let me try to explain to you non-technical people why your competent, knowledgeable nerd friends are overdosing on Xanax after hearing what's going on at Treasury. tl;dr, a 23-year-old has (had?) read/write access to the most complicated system in the world and a vague mandate to fix it. 1/

Vance has never read _Ex Parte Milligan_ (SCOTUS telling Andrew Johnson and the Army they couldn't use military courts to prosecute civiliians). My opinion of Yale Law School grads continues to sink.

Just received this photo from a friend of a warehouse in Kinshasa. These are tuberculosis medications--ALREADY PAID FOR--that aren't being distributed due to the Trump Administration's stop work order. TB treatment is being interrupted in SO many patients around the world. What does that mean? (1/2)

This is not a U.S. Marshal, Federal Protective Service, or any other federal law enforcement officer. This is a private security guard from Triple Canopy. He has no authority to block members of Congress who have oversight of the EPA from entering the building.

Working on future updates for inflatacart. These are two publicly traded US egg producers. Cal-Main produced over 40M eggs last year alone. And this is real data as of today. If egg prices are jumping because of bird flu, why TF are these companies stock prices jumping higher than Nvidia?

Over the last month, I’ve been building an app that ties inflation data with a grocery list. Just a few final tweaks and I’ll submit to the app store. It’s a culmination of learning to code again, product design, and my background in economics and data viz and I can’t wait to share it.

The USG under Trump has now effectively ended its investigation into China’s penetration of American telephone companies. Note that we think China still has access. Apparently the White House just doesn't care. Use Signal. Use it for everything. arstechnica.com/tech-policy/...

Definitely some wisdom to this. But also Democrats would in fact do better if progressives intellectuals, funders, and activists behaved consistently as if they knew this.

About 13 years ago, we started a company called Complexly so we could make SciShow and Crash Course. That team has grown into a company of 80+ people, who have worked incredibly hard to create 9,000+ videos that are each researched, fact-checked, and available for free.
