What does "meta" mean anyway? I argue that it has become used as a systematic tool for tech culture to evade accountability.

For my husband’s birthday, I got him a candle sculpted to look like us, by the artist Janie Korn. It’s brought a lot of joy. Shekottke.org
Awesome work from Rotem Sorek lab in our department:
Rotem's lab & others found this past decade >150 bacterial defense mechanisms against phages.
This new work, led by Erez Yirmiya, explores phage *anti-defense* mechanisms, and it's really cool!

Tomorrow I'm teaching this paper royalsocietypublishing.org/doi… about how probably every civilization on every planet marches faster and faster toward burnout, UNLESS they realize that collapse is coming and radically restructure.
This is a possible solution to the Fermi Paradox: most civilizations don't last long, and the ones that do are undetectable: "A sufficiently advanced civilization is indistinguishable from Nature."
Welp, my mind is totally blown for the day. Time to go snuggle some animals.

What #film or #tv show - (past or current) brings you joy?
Right now I find Julia (on Max) just delightful. The series follows Julia Child as she creates The French Chef.
While I admit I may be biased given I work on a PBS #food show, I don’t think that’s it. The actors are outstanding & it’s beautifully filmed - the colors are somehow both realistic & richer than real life. Characters are people I want to spend time with & every episode makes me smile.

That's been a fear of mine since e-books started rising in popularity.
Suddenly, a title vanishes from Amazon or Apple because someone doesn't like it. We're already going through this with language and physical books, it really won't be long before we get Moms Shilling for Fascism working to ban content from streams.
This ad is from 1975. I always thought they were the Tetley Tea Elves rather than Folk.
Mike Oldfield put out a version of the "Portsmouth", which reminds me of this advert.

Day10: Ten Days, Ten Films.
My last day!!! I hope to see some of you start a list as well!
This is a lot of fun! So long as you don’t make this too hard or too easy!
Over ten days you pick an image from a film without any title to give away where it is from, so that people can guess. You can also nominate others to do the same. That way more people are in on the game! (or not–your choice 😀 )
But remember: NO SPOILERS! If you recognise a film, don’t say what it is! Say something that indicates you know, but allows others to guess as well. Your messages then become helpful hints!

The trouble with ‘gender ideology’
Can we learn to see gender in its real complexity?America Magazine
Every now and then, technologists are able to translate their strongly held beliefs into action for the benefit of society. Sometimes these actions result in new features, apps or platforms but it's especially powerful when this happens at the protocol level.

Minimalist or maximalist? The life of a #microbe a mile underground
phys.org/news/2023-11-minimali… paper: ami-journals.onlinelibrary.wil…
Magdalena Osburn: "The deep subsurface #biosphere is enormous; it's just a vast amount of space... Many of the #microbes we found were either minimalist: ultra-streamlined with one job that it does very well alongside a close consortium of collaborators, or it can do a little bit of everything. These maximalists are ready for every resource that comes along."

Ongoing shuffling of protein fragments diversifies core viral functions linked to interactions with bacterial hosts - Nature Communications
Proteins are composed of distinct functional domains, each serving a specific role. Here, Smug et al. show that phages are able to shuffle fragments of their proteins and this predominantly occurs in proteins involved in bacterial host interactions.Nature

Event Idea: Go to IKEA and make the shorks (and other animals) more presentable.
Instead of the hajpile you often see in IKEA, put down effort and put them in the upright position.
