Another great new track from Say She She! #Disco from #Brooklyn. This might be my favourite of theirs so far.

There are days in #academia when I really appreciate the ethics of gangsters. At least they show what they are up to.

One of the reasons I'm extremely skeptical of a computational science of #misinformation is that it tends to use sources like the NYT as trustworthy (used as labeled data for truth), when it has functioned as the source of some of the most impactful cases of misinformation.

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.

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."
