When Twitter debuted, it offered an alternative and challenge to MSM. But that media world is dead -- local news gutted, websites paywalled, cable news siloed into paid streaming outlets. Twitter is where people go to work around a media designed to keep people uninformed.

There are many legitimate reasons to track Elon Musk's flight coordinates, for example to offer him ads more relevant to his interests

Being blocked from posting a link from a competing social media site may not quite be an antitrust violation but it sure rhymes

My grad students designed real t-shirts for our fictional intramural team, The Hydras (symbolizing interdisciplinarity, and I guess perseverance?). I love this.

#chatGPT fails the Wason Selection Task, like most humans, giving an answer which demonstrates confirmation bias

Had a great day as advisor to burgeoning scientists. Attended an excellent dissertation defense on bioinformatics of bacteriophage ecology, watched my grad student present a seminar on modeling the cultural evolution of inequality, corresponded with a German physics PhD student who will be visiting my lab in the spring, and hosted a predoctoral student i am mentoring who zoomed into our lab meeting from NYC to talk to us about the dynamics of couple contagions on networks. I like this job.

My daughter noticed these very very strange things at Lake Solano today.

Thanks to iNaturalist we think we have figured out what they are. They are baby aliens from Zork.
