Mike Worobey is one of the world’s foremost disease detectives. He did the crucial work on HIV’s origins and has focused much of his career on the evolution and emergence of viruses. This is an important piece. https://www.latimes.com/opinion/story/2023-03-08/covid-lab-leak-energy-department-fbi

Fave 22 #movies were "Decision to Leave" and "All quiet on the western front." Really enjoy #Japanese and #Korean movies recently, because they transcend the tiring Hollywood meta-calculus of #identitypolitics, with stunning stories about our common humanity.
P.S. Have not seen "Everything, everywhere all at once" yet, but I grew up postmodern and am on social media.
Epá, agora trabalho em esqueletos de Salvação. E eu que nunca fui em coisas góticas :) No Expresso

@outeast I bet Dumas self-identified as a Frenchman, since national identity is the 19th century social construct.
ChatGPT is the ultimate postmodern machine. It is like Burroughs' cut up method, but operating on the statistical regularities (not just phrases) of all our text.
@outeast happy for all sorts of actors playing all sorts of roles. This case sounds particularly interesting. But I hate that we keep perpetuating the very American and racist idea that it takes "a drop of non white blood" to make a person black. Dumas was, if you need a racial term, mixed-race---like most humans if you look deep enough.
In this portion of #Carter's speech, I see all the downsides of #identity over community #politics.
"the path that leads to fragmentation and self-interest. Down that road lies a mistaken idea of freedom, the right to grasp for ourselves some advantage over others. That path would be one of constant conflict between narrow interests ending in chaos and immobility."

So happy to finally see this collaboration with Rion Correia and @alainbarrat out. The distance backbone is a unique, algebraically-principled network subgraph that preserves all shortest paths. We were were excited to find out (with #sociopatterns and other data) that the backbones of #socialnetworks contain large amounts of redundant interactions that can be removed with very little impact on #communitystructure and #epidemic spread.
