'Musk then brought in two of his cousins, James and Andrew Musk, to oversee engineering teams. Software engineers were told their code would be reviewed, unusually, on paper. Privacy officers panicked as thousands of sheets, filled with the company’s intellectual property and its users’ personal data, were printed out and carried around the building. Shredders were hastily bought and the engineers had to line up, watched by security guards, to destroy the pages.'

Left-wing coalition wins French elections so King Macron forms right-wing government.
Such democracy.
(In case you needed another reminder that fucking neoliberals will always choose fascism over social justice when they feel their wallets are threatened.)

'En ouvrant les publications scientifiques à la lecture et en donnant accès aux données associées, on favorise les collaborations, on gagne en efficacité collective car les résultats de la recherche publique sont plus transparents et reproductibles. Cela permet de renforcer le lien de confiance entre science et société, d’autant que les résultats scientifiques sont la matière première pour penser le monde de demain. La crise du Covid-19 est un exemple parlant : un vaccin a été produit en un temps record. Cette prouesse a été permise grâce à l’ouverture des résultats scientifiques.'

New post on echo chambers and extreme opinions - and some thoughts on why Bluesky/Mastodon/Threads might feel nicer initially, but also a bit blander:

"But apart from the permanently central role of technology in microbiology, there is one conceptual fracture in our otherwise continuous progress toward a better understanding of microbial life that can serve as a line between the still alive and well classical roots of microbiology and its aspiring modern times: our expanding focus from individual organisms in cultures to complex communities in natural habitats, with the admission that “a pure culture is not enough."

'But it’s important to consider our history. In 1791, Haitians successfully rebelled against the French colonizers, sparking a resistance that would lead to the country being the first free Black nation in the Western Hemisphere. In the ensuing two hundred and thirty-two years and change, the rest of the world has seemed hellbent on making Haiti pay, for fear of global Black liberation.'

"Olhando para trás, reconheço que posso ter sido injusta – não contemplei a possibilidade de que, ao falar aos jornalistas, Carlos Moedas não fizesse ideia do assunto, preferindo inventar uma resposta."

'Toda a história entre a JC Decaux e a Câmara Municipal de Lisboa resume o guião clássico de Moedas: quando uma coisa corre mal, começa por culpar o antecessor, mente para fugir das responsabilidades e, se é apanhado, enfia a casca de Calimero na cabeça, vitimizando-se e pessoalizando o debate, para fugir ao escrutínio.'
