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
este fim de semana.

Good news everyone! A new version of 
graph-tool is just out! @graph_tool
@graph_tool is comprehensive and efficient Python library to work with networks, including structural, dynamical and statistical algorithms, as well as visualization.
This version includes new features, bug fixes, and improved documentation: https://graph-tool.skewed.de/static/doc/index.html
Single line installation:
Anaconda ⤵️
conda create --name gt -c conda-forge graph-tool
Homebrew ⤵️
brew install graph-tool
Debian/Ubuntu⤵️
apt-get install python3-graph-tool
Gentoo ⤵️
emerge graph-tool
Docker ⤵️
docker pull tiagopeixoto/graph-tool

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.
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.

Super happy to have participated on this special issue on the principle of dynamical #criticality. It was really fun to expand our work on effective connectivity, #canalization and #redundancy with Jordan Rozum, Felipe Costa, and Austin Marcus. An a bonus for publishing in #Entropy---makes me feel quite cybernetic! #complexsystems #BooleanNetworks #Dynamics #networkScience #ComputationalBiology

Periodic reminder that I've always enjoyed the @petshopboys much more than Pink Floyd. Nothing against the latter, but they never resonated with me like the former. Thank you for the music boys, and very much so for the earnest irony.

So grateful for the amazing work #PresidentCarter has done
We're super happy to have contributed the special issue of #Entropy on The Principle of Dynamical #Criticality in #biologicalsystems.
"Effective Connectivity and Bias Entropy Improve Prediction of Dynamical Regime in #Automata Networks"
#redundancy and canalization play major role in predicting #Dynamics, even after accounting for #heterogeneous #complexnetworks structure, in experimentally-validated biochemical regulation models and random networks. Emphasizing role of redundancy in #evolutionary.systems. #complexsystems
So much cool stuff coming from #mRNA #vaccine tech. Check out @cyrilpedia update

I've since left twitter in response to Elon Musk's repeated attacks on public health and his repeated endorsement of medical disinformation. My account is locked and people can no longer see the original thread unless they followed me before I left.
In light of the Times story, I think it's important for people to see the original thread in full. I've therefore made a pdf available here:
http://carlbergstrom.com/publications/pdfs/Bergstrom_twitter_25.pdf
Feel free to cross-post that link to twitter if you still indulge.
