After creating a visualization of mobility between Canada and the empire, I decided to visualize all of the career mobility recorded in the biographies in the Colonial Office List. (I need to do the same work with the Indian Office List to complete the network.)

"Julienne describes the loss of lynx, martens, rabbits, ptarmigan—and with them, a way of life: 'It used to be one of the richest countries for hunting and trapping, but not any more.'" - Crystal Gail Fraser niche-canada.org/2025/07/08/v...

I get why this seems great & on principle, I agree. I've seen the rampant phone addiction amongst kids & it's frankly jarring. And that's not even talking about the exploitation. But play that out - It would mean giving your ID to people notorious for dogshit infosec. It would be a nightmare!

Pressure was great. Recommend. I’m not a war-movie enjoyer, generally, but I can get behind one about weather and meteorology. Any other war movies that focus on on #envhist & #histsci?!

I’m a climate scientist. Let me fix this headline. “Nearly a century ago, scientists showed that burning fossil fuels warms the planet. Today, we know human emissions account for over 100% of the warming. Yet dark money and disinformation still work to keep Americans addicted to fossil fuels.”

This is bad. Three Washington state protesters have been found guilty of federal conspiracy charges for sitting in front of a bus taking people to an immigration detention center in Tacoma, and now face 6 years. Six others took plea deals rather than going to trial. newrepublic.com/post/211138/...

NEW: A lot of bad has happened to American science over the last year but nothing comes even close to what’s about to happen if we don’t speak out in opposition to the OMB rule changes and I hope @aaas-socsci.bsky.social @apsphysics.bsky.social and others will launch public campaigns about this. 🧪🔭⚛️

🧵 Public science in the US has taken some heavy hits over the last year, but the White House OMB is proposing a series of changes that will result in a TKO for science as we know it unless we fight back. Here's what's happening, and why it matters. 1/n

Something I would find useful would be an undergrad-friendly history of AI, from perceptron to transformer, explaining the rise of different ideas, the “AI winter,” etc. I know of encyclopedia articles that don’t quite do that and books that tell the story at length, but I need a v concise version.
