Today we’re launching Open Climate Risk, a fully open option for U.S. building-level climate risk data. It’s unique because it allows you to see not only risk scores, starting with wildfire, but also the complete underlying dataset, methods, and codebase. carbonplan.org/research/cli...

Sir Ian McKellen performing a monologue from Shakespeare’s Sir Thomas More on the Stephen Colbert show. Never have I heard this monologue performed with such a keen sense of prescience. Nor have I ever been in this exact historical moment.TY Sir Ian, for reaching us once again.

I really hate it when scientists keep saying that “we need to rebuild trust in science,” because it implies that scientists are to blame for the mistrust rather than the millions of dollars of dark money that have funded political attacks on science in order to advance a far right agenda.

As of this morning, Starbucks workers across the country are officially ON STRIKE. And we're prepared for this to become the biggest and longest ULP strike in Starbucks history.

Say #NoContractNoCoffee with us: DON'T BUY STARBUCKS for the duration of our open-ended ULP strike! $SBUX

Today is Constitution and Citizenship Day here in the US, I thought I would have something more profound after being in law school for a bit but really nothing makes a whole lot of sense anymore. Anyway, read the constitution today for fun and register to vote!

I have written and deleted a lot of posts but I keep thinking about how the brutal assassination of Minnesota State senator Melissa Hortman, her husband Mark, and their beloved dog Gilbert in June did not prompt this same level of calls for empathy, sympathy, and flags at half-mast.

Remembering MN house speaker Melissa Hortman, her husband Mark and their beloved dog Gilbert. Murdered in June at their home by a rightwing Trump-voting evangelist, who also shot another MN lawmaker and his wife at THEIR home, 9 and 8 times, respectively (miraculously, they survived).

Likening PhD holders to a (non-functional) algorithm is a form of dehumanisation & anti-intellectualism that is a bellwether for contemporary fascism. Essentially it's a typical — if not the archetypal — first step towards fascism: to dehumanise, deskill, defund, and, ultimately, fire the academics.
What I would like to remind everyone talking about Sam Altman talking about the “PhD level intelligence” of the new ChatGPT is that Sam Altman dropped out of college so he… has no experiential construct for what grad school even is.

“The jury reached a verdict on Monday that there was a ‘preponderance’ of evidence showing Meta had ‘intentionally eavesdropped on and/or recorded conversations using an electronic device,’ unbeknownst to Flo app users.”
Meta illegally collected Flo users’ menstrual data, jury rules

Instagram automatically turning on location tracking AND it being viewable by followers is one of the dumbest features I’ve ever seen added to an app.

Like whoever thought “let’s add a doxing feature” to the app where people already get doxed for what they support is fucking insane.

Ever wonder how gravitational wave detectors like LISA would hear the signal of binary black holes orbiting around a supermassive black hole? 🔭

Gonna try to use BlueSky more since the Instagram algorithm wants me to buy things, get married, and move to Europe with $4 to my name, YouTube might be trying to get me into a cult, and Twitter is definitely trying to get me into a cult.

I just wanna look at bird pictures and memes……
