ellynsong @alienbeach.bsky.social · 2hIt's airborne and fatality rate is 100%, if untreated. it is treatable with antibiotics. Some countries may be exploring DNA edits to change proteins and prevent antibiotic binding, but that's a big tech stretch. 010

ellynsong @alienbeach.bsky.social · 04/10/2026After giving this some more thought, it’s a good framework to start. It would be nice if they had published models so we could adjust effects across dimensions and levels, etc. but, basic feedback loops are included… it’s good. Thanks. 010

ellynsong @alienbeach.bsky.social · 04/10/2026I'm seeing WSJ (Murdoch) articles about Seattle's local politics (really - WSJ is concerned with local elections now?). When I lived there, you never saw Fox on a TV anywhere - it didn't exist. And this Mayor seems good, but is getting trashed. I have to wonder how active Bezos (AWS) is now. 090
ellynsong @alienbeach.bsky.social · 04/10/2026Kevin Warsh did not receive a $100 million gift. He liquidated private investment assets to meet federal ethics divestiture requirements before taking office as Federal Reserve Chair. Totally different than Trump. 121

ellynsong @alienbeach.bsky.social · 03/10/2026This is actuaries deriving the probability of scenarios from data they didn't create. I'm not so queasy with the conclusions, as the methodology. That said, I think they have to because environmental sciences are politically neutered, underfunded, and disconnected. I think it will be worse. 120
ellynsong @alienbeach.bsky.social · 03/10/2026I'd really like to see a comprehensive risk analysis of supply chains. You know its fragile. As climate change intensifies, this will break down and urban areas will begin facing scarcity. You'll know when, because they'll be screaming - shocked I tell you! 120
ellynsong @alienbeach.bsky.social · 03/10/2026It was just a random street crime, but there's no governor to shut it down, so while I'm sure Trump thinks anything is justification for a NG deployment, that can be contested by your governor - and they need to do their job. 111

ellynsong @alienbeach.bsky.social · 03/10/2026I hear you - just south in the LA basin (which is normally in the 70s this time of year). I can deal with hot temps for limited periods, but I keep wondering what this will be like when it expands to longer periods. And I wonder about agricultural production. I like food 🙂 270

ellynsong @alienbeach.bsky.social · 03/10/2026The biosphere is just adjusting to human determination to self-terminate. I don't think 'coexistence with humans' matters. Any mix of complex life maximizes entropy, so the Biosphere doesn't really care. 021
ellynsong @alienbeach.bsky.social · 03/10/2026This what happens with insanity and wealth merge. The soil on Mars is toxic to humans, and severance from Earth's biosphere will cause epigenetic locking. Either, or both, will be terminal. We will not survive Mars - full stop. And we only have a few generations left here. Enjoy. 000

ellynsong @alienbeach.bsky.social · 02/10/2026I'm voting for minimal effects as long as possible. Enjoy what we can. I really don't believe anything will create a shift, as long as denialism rewards the predators of our species. Also, I don't believe there are significant interventions - these are big, locked-in forces - vastly understated. 010

ellynsong @alienbeach.bsky.social · 01/10/2026I'm not suggesting we end sports. But criminal charges don't reach the root cause. Sports programs and admin need to be held responsible for the culture they foster, and the NCAA is a biased arbitrator - e.g., Sandusky, Briles... what a joke. Instead, Congress is all worried about... NIL $. 110
ellynsong @alienbeach.bsky.social · 30/09/2026That was obvious when they called all the top brass to that meeting in Virginia. They all sat silent, looking at each other like WTF? Absolutely the weirdest. Soon will come the pressure point, and they'll have to make decisions about shooting citizens. You know Trump will order it. 010

ellynsong @alienbeach.bsky.social · 30/09/2026My experience is that people that use the term 'Sex' are more focused on anatomical function, and people that use the term 'Gender' are more focused on neurological function.

ellynsong @alienbeach.bsky.social · 29/09/2026It seems like the entire focus of Congress now is some kind of weird religion. It would be nice to see a country led by people that just focused on making things work: healthcare, education, transportation, commerce, banking... Wow, imagine that! Peace and Prosperity. That's it. 100
ellynsong @alienbeach.bsky.social · 29/09/2026Feynman's path integral, proposed in 1948, was confirmed last month. Great theories are often interdisciplinary, and require a long time to establish. Science is not a race. 3 points: Null hypothesis first. Peer review (supposed to address falsification), and 'Testimony is not evidence'. 111
