"Venice was a city of printers and readers. In his World of Aldus Manutius, Martin Lowry made a rough guess that, in 1500, Venetian presses produced twenty books per member of the city’s population. There were more printshops – and more booksellers, stationers, bookbinders – in Venice than anywhere else in Europe: twice as many editions were printed there than in Paris, its closest rival."

'But I’m not talking about a factual mistakes as much as I’m talking about a mistake we often make when thinking about history. We fail to think of historical events as developing over time. This has been an obsession for my entire writing life. I’ve always wanted to know about the life that happens between dates in a history book.'

Meta has engaged in a “systemic and global” censorship of pro-Palestinian content.
In a scathing 51-page report, Human Rights Watch documented and reviewed more than a thousand reported instances of Meta removing content and suspending or permanently banning accounts on Facebook and Instagram that were supportive of Palestinians https://www.theguardian.com/technology/2023/dec/21/meta-facebook-instagram-pro-palestine-censorship-human-rights-watch-report

When the Spanish Civil War broke out, Hitler and Mussolini went all-in backing Franco’s Nationalists but the big democratic powers, England and France, offered the democratically elected Republicans tepid support because they were wary of socialists and trade unionists being part of the coalition.
Their half-hearted defense of democracy emboldened the fascists and contributed to the outbreak of WWII.
Anyway, I think about this whenever I encounter anti-anti-Trump liberals. #fascism #magacoup

"Suppressive activity is enriched among CD4+ Tconv cells marked by expression of C-C motif receptor 8 (CCR8), which are found in mouse and human tumors. Upon Treg cell depletion, CCR8+ Tconv cells undergo systemic and intratumoral activation and expansion, and mediate IL-10–dependent suppression of antitumor immunity."

Why #AI is a disaster for the #climate - https://www.theguardian.com/commentisfree/2023/dec/23/ai-chat-gpt-environmental-impact-energy-carbon-intensive-technology "Amid all the hysteria about ChatGPT and co, one thing is being missed: how energy-intensive the technology is" - yes, this is the real threat to humanity, not AI taking over...

"Using a dataset representing disease and phenotype co-occurrence in social media text, we employ semantic techniques to identify phenotype associations for a set of common and rare diseases, constituting a phenotype model for those diseases that represents the public perspective"

Yeah, I've also dabbled and get a lot of dross.
You also get the feel of running against the algorithm headwind when you don't have many followers. My posts are almost completely ignored (even generic ones with a nice photo), whereas on Mastodon they stand half a chance of getting some comments and replies.

We finally managed to publish an English version of the volcanic hazard map for #Grindavik
Out of all the map I´ve made at the Icelandic Met Office this series of hazard maps is the biggest one yet in terms of impact, internal discussion, public discussion and weight it bears and all the decision that are made based on it. I see this map all over the internet, TikTok, YouTube thumbnails, Facebook, you name it. There is probably enough material for an extended conference talk just about this map

"Upon reflection, I have realised that this fascination and appeal to dinosaurs could be used for good. The attention-grabbing effect of dinosaurs may offer a means of captivating audiences and explaining complex or difficult subjects."

"In 2021, Gemaque and several other women from her community were invited to take part in a chocolate-making workshop organised by the Amazonian chocolatier César De Mendes. Inspired by the experience, eight of them got together to form the Cacao Guardians. What began as an experiment in someone’s kitchen is now a registered business with an artisanal factory that produces 130kg of chocolate a month."

Latest #Brexit bonus.
"Not only are the British negotiators getting nowhere fast on the terms of a comprehensive trade deal with Canada, but the UK’s attempts to at least extend a rollover of the EU terms of trade on cheese exports have been squarely rejected by their Canadian counterparts."
