Aaron Straup Cope | Keynote Speech FACT Symposium
I was delighted to watch this Keynote address from my former colleague and long time pal, Aaron Straup Cope. In it he makes a number of nice references to the projects we worked on together and the things I worked on after he and Seb Chan left the team at Cooper Hewitt.
It’s been 15 years since and I’m amazed at how the work is still talked about across the sector. I’m really proud of that work and reflecting these days, I’m glad we did the things we did and in the way we did them, even when they wound up looking like “expensive mistakes.”
This talk is worth your time if you care about cultural heritage, museums, and the internet. It’s especially relevant today as we are continually asked to bear witness to the possible undoing of hundreds of years of American democracy!

Latest comic: What's the point of an economy that no longer serves the interests of human beings?

I was in high school when they first said that computers could teach kids - at least, for arithmetic drill. In the 50 years since, Bill Gates and Steve Jobs were really sure that computers would transform education.
Nope.
Notice that the lords of AI are NOT claiming they can replace that job? No fewer elementary school teachers?
It's because that's one area of human work where the KNOW they will fail. Again.
Kudos to The Verge for having the fortitude to speak plainly and decisively, instead of crouching underneath a faux "impartiality."

Small businesses are considered the backbone of the U.S. economy.
They account for 99.9% of all U.S. businesses and employ nearly half of the American workforce.
Small businesses generate 44% of U.S. economic activity and have created two-thirds of all new jobs in recent decades.

"Tor needs many different kinds of users to be safe. The fact that we have military people relying on Tor, and human rights defenders relying on Tor, and everybody in between, is part of why it is safe for all of them. You can’t have an anonymity system only for cancer survivors, or everybody can guess why you’re using it."

In 2025, #PLOSBiology continues to advocate for policy based on scientific evidence.
I feel strongly about the need for evidence-based policy and a dogged defence of science. I said it in 2020, and will reiterate it til the end of time.
The world may change - our principles should not.
This 2020 Editorial, “We need leaders that believe in scientific evidence”, resonates today as loudly as ever: plos.io/34lyl59.
PLOS Biology also continues to push for DEI and a diverse scientific community:

We need leaders that believe in scientific evidence
In a world beset by attempts to undermine scientific evidence and evidence-based policy, we emphasize their important role in helping humanity rise to the challenges of our time.plos.io

Current events have shown how important it is to massively shift away from billionaire social media platforms. For our mental health, for democracy itself!
There is much to do to convince people that decentralised social media is not only good enough; its lack of feed algorithms makes it *better*. After all, feed algorithms serve platform owners, not platform users.
Help us campaign for this historic shift. We offer 3-9 week fellowships to
