“Viable alternatives to driving” is pretty much the only thing we need to talk about if we are serious about reducing traffic. And massive progress on that can be made if we just forego one or two unnecessary highway projects.

If he's going to get a national profile on the strength of a younger woman's campaign, I'm going to come out and say it: during his short-lived tenure as a math professor, Biss had an inappropriate romantic relationship with one of his undergraduate students. I was that student.

Responsive, attentive health care shouldn't be the exception for fat people. It should be the rule. Having good experiences with HCPs feels like a glimpse into what a world with more thoughtful care for fat patients could look like. & it makes me want to triple down to bring that world about.

A new paper shows that less than 2 months of exposure to Twitter’s algorithmic feed significantly shifts people’s political views to the right. Moving from chronological feed to the algorithmic feed also increases engagement. This is one of the most concerning papers I’ve read in awhile.

There’s a boom in papers claiming: 1. Graphs only model “pairwise interactions” 2. Hypergraphs uniquely capture group interactions 3. Many systems are better modeled that way, and 4. They reveal new phenomena. I’ve rarely seen claims this misleading repeated so often and so uncritically! 2/N

One of the first things anyone learns about facial recognition is that it is often wrong and that it is biased. And yet ICE is using it all day every day to determine legal status & who to detain. And now we have a high-profile example of it being flat out wrong:

Over the last year the entire "free speech on campus" beat has been revealed as an utter fraud. Years of punditry puked out in ignorance and bad faith. Yet even as the fraud becomes undeniable we still get stories about wide-eyed idealists who just wanted 'ideological diversity' and 'open debate'.

ICE opinion is shifting from lefties (a little) + reality (a lot). But it's happening much more slowly than it would on the right, because a, our partisan media is comparatively weak, and b, three-quarters of Dems are still prioritizing Seeming Moderate over stopping ICE from murdering moms.
