MAMAS is running a holiday toy drive again this year! Apparently several orgs couldn't manage one for 2022, so we are kinda inundated. Can you help out? And/or spread word?

200+ families signed up for toys, & still 90 gifts to purchase by next week... #Medford #Somerville

A Brief History of Kids Today Are Spoiled

🧵

Something I'm reminded of as I'm tromping around in the bioinformatics weeds: every genomic estimate of every parameter is conditioned on a ton of arbitrary filtering settings, which for the most part, we choose based on a combination of precedence and vibes.

Something to think about today: there are lots of places in the US that could copy Vancouver and give high value prime land back to the Indigenous communities it was stolen from: nytimes.com/2022/08/23/wor…

I've got a few things to say about all this SBF/FTX/EA mishegas, and I guess I might as well say them before this website dies. I want to pivot off this characteristically excellent piece from Eric Levitz. nymag.com/intelligencer/…

If you think that Twitter has moderation problems, just wait until large numbers of people are having conflict on Mastodon and they’re being adjudicated by a few volunteers who don’t have set guidelines or community to navigate differences with.

Well, I made a Mastodon account, find me at @[email protected]

Not sure I will post over there - if Twitter goes down, I might just use that as an excuse to get off social media

Nice to see Twitter going out as it lived: Hysterically overreacting to the latest news development, compulsively sharing false viral tweets that confirm its priors, and repeatedly mistaking satirical accounts for real ones. Godspeed.

Off-by-one errors are the bane of my existence, thanks.

(Yes, I am trying to debug some bioinformatics code)
