You won't have to worry about my tweets when I'm president.

I wrote about the Chinese scientist who kick-started it all by publishing the SARS-CoV-2 sequence in an open repository on January 10th—without waiting for authorization. Two days later, Moderna had the vaccine. Just ten months later, we have a vaccine. zeynep.substack.com/p/the-pandemic…

“While it sounds good to ‘optimize’ the world using data, the optimization is based on a one-dimensional goal function that maps the complexity of the world to a single index. This is neither appropriate nor effective...”

I don’t think diversity training can fix this.

I don’t feel like it’s crazy to expect an office to schedule your appointment for the time they’ll be ready to see you, with a 15-20 minute grace period for the unexpected. I value your time, it would be nice if you valued mine too. Last time I was in for more than 3 hours.

If you're gonna listen to any speech about #Ukraine 🇺🇦, let it be this one. The Kenya ambassador to the UNSC perfectly explains how people across Africa understand Ukraine, and what the Kremlin's acts of aggression mean in our post-colonial world.

Be very, very careful over the next few days with military information. The Russians want to persuade Ukraine to surrender and they will use disinformation, fake video, fake photos.

Putin’s constant calling us all ‘Nazis’ is a way to drain the term of meaning and resonance and thus clear the mental space for Putin’s own essence of fascism. Destroy the meaning of words which acted as taboos to check behaviour, to make the worst behaviour possible again
