This is a great point, and was one reason @abhsarma.bsky.social (with me + @jessicahullman.bsky.social) built a multiverse analysis tool that tries to help experts understand and evaluate the validity of subsets of a multiverse, rather than just shrugging: "enh, results vary" doi.org/10.1145/3613...

"While pundits have busied themselves over the past 10 days nitpicking Kamala Harris’s campaign, one thing is abundantly clear: She was held to the highest standards of leadership while Trump was held to no standard at all."

Another point about this is the very real failures (housing! housing! housing!) of Democratic governance in deep-blue cities and states. If your party is bleeding the most support in the parts of the country it controls, you've got a serious problem.

New followers: Hi 👋 While I'm broadly interested in all things computational, I specifically focus on network modeling. I build methods for therapeutic target discovery enabling drug discovery efforts downstream. Happy to chat re: systems biology, network science & related ML-based tools! HMU! 😀

Post the 2016 Presidential race, a German colleague scribbled 'Weltshmerz' on a whiteboard at my then-workplace in Menlo Park, worried for the next four years. Broken up, it means 'world fear', referring to a combinatory feeling of apathy/weariness reg the state of the world. Here we are again.

This is the right move. And Trump clearly won. But asymmetrical honor, fairness, and decency has been one of the most defining and confounding dynamics of this era. Both are moral and right for their own sake. But when the other side utterly lacks either, it could be our undoing.

Super interesting work! As someone with a strong ear for music that studies biological networks, this paper hits all the right notes :)

cool backstory!

This would have made them so much easier to learn!

</sci-comm hibernation> well this looks familiar...
