Dantzig @camilotranquilo.bsky.social · 26/06/2026I really like the original article’s point that these researchers were already aligned with BP. The extent to which normative thinking is rewarded in academia is really obvious here, and very frustrating. 140
Dantzig @camilotranquilo.bsky.social · 26/06/2026Something that’s really bothered me is the heavy reliance on carbon capture and storage that Net Zero America pushes. I find it hard to imagine that the presence of CCS allowing continued fossil fuel use in their study isn’t influenced by that money and those perspectives. 140
Dantzig @camilotranquilo.bsky.social · 23/03/2026Are you aware of Library Genesis? Free access to every textbook I used in undergrad and graduate school. 010
Dantzig @camilotranquilo.bsky.social · 16/10/2025I (not yet 30) recently learned that human happiness follows a u shaped curve throughout life. Apparently the lowest point is at ~50 but trends up after. So midlife crisis is well founded in the data. Hang in there, you do excellent meaningful work. Sorry that’s not more comforting. 080
Dantzig @camilotranquilo.bsky.social · 07/10/2025Thank God that airport doesn’t get a lot of traffic or anything 😐 000
Dantzig @camilotranquilo.bsky.social · 14/09/2025Is all that honking in support, or opposition, or both..? :( 000
Dantzig @camilotranquilo.bsky.social · 09/09/2025Idk, Sayed seems more honest to me. I also learned today that he helped eliminate medical debt for ~300k Michiganders. And he doesn’t have these concerning funding sources. I put my hopes in his vision. And from McMarrows campaign materials, I haven’t seen a compelling vision. 000
Dantzig @camilotranquilo.bsky.social · 09/09/2025I don’t think we’ve been demanding enough. Like not even close to enough. We’ve allowed so much for decades now. That’s partly why we’re here imo. I don’t think I have unreasonable idealistic expectations that if you say you’ll fight someone, you’re not taking their money too. 100
Dantzig @camilotranquilo.bsky.social · 09/09/2025That’s fair, but there are candidates who choose not to take money from concerning sources. It’s not unreasonable imo to expect a candidate to refuse such donations. And furthermore, if she’s taking their donations, then saying she’ll stand up to them, it is hard for me to buy. 100
Dantzig @camilotranquilo.bsky.social · 09/09/2025That’s fair. I’m not saying she’s completely in their pocket, either, but these are definitely red flags imo. I might be to critical, but I guess I’m just very very skeptical of candidates, we’ve been fed BS for years, and Im trying to keep myself from falling it. 200
Dantzig @camilotranquilo.bsky.social · 09/09/2025To be fair, she’s also got large contributions from unions, but she’s also got large contributions from real estate, health insurers, and the auto industry, amongst others. 200
Dantzig @camilotranquilo.bsky.social · 09/09/2025I’m not an expert here, so please let me know if there’s better sources. But according to this, in of all her funding going back to 2017, DTE Energy was her 9th largest contributor.transparencyusa.orgMallory McMorrow - Michigan Candidate - Transparency USATHE ANSWERS YOU NEED ABOUT THE MONEY IN STATE POLITICS 200
Dantzig @camilotranquilo.bsky.social · 08/09/2025Last I checked utilities were one of McMarrows biggest sources of funding…. So like, what, she’s the answer? 100
Dantzig @camilotranquilo.bsky.social · 13/08/2025Reading that felt like my brain was melting. Jesus Christ I’d hate to be those lawyers. 1110
Dantzig @camilotranquilo.bsky.social · 05/08/2025Can wait till the Sea of Tranquility is a radioactive wasteland 000
Dantzig @camilotranquilo.bsky.social · 05/08/2025Her top donors include real estate, healthcare orgs, grocery conglomerates, DTE, Ford, bankers, etc. Top donor is a PAC run by the Quicken loans and Cleveland Cavaliers billionaire owner. You’ll also see these orgs donating to republicans and democrats equally. I bet she’ll be a voice for the people 000
Dantzig @camilotranquilo.bsky.social · 05/08/2025Mathematicians! lol. Bruh, try asking ChatGPT for help with a proof, you’ll get nowhere. 050
Dantzig @camilotranquilo.bsky.social · 31/07/2025In isolation, their claims of high on target editing efficiency and low off target editing are a useful development for treating genetic diseases. But the context of a global fascist movement and rising interest in eugenics is what makes such developments scary for me. 010
Dantzig @camilotranquilo.bsky.social · 31/07/2025I just checked the paper and its source and yeah they’re very much working with a protein language model, it’s gen AI. 110
Dantzig @camilotranquilo.bsky.social · 29/07/2025What if journalists I appreciate are still on there? Would you boycott? 000
Dantzig @camilotranquilo.bsky.social · 26/07/2025I remember before I attended, I thought to myself that I’m entering the lion’s den. My experience there and their actions since support that sense. But there are some great people within in, like you! Wish I could’ve gotten into your courses, I think The Family must’ve blown up your waitlist. 010
Dantzig @camilotranquilo.bsky.social · 23/07/2025Because acknowledging it would imply much more is needed to address the problems of today and inaction is preferred? What’s your perspective, why? 2120
Dantzig @camilotranquilo.bsky.social · 19/07/2025Jesus Christ that is so fucking funny. Incredible. I feel like the moment you grab the cake while glaring at the camera could be a meme. 030
Dantzig @camilotranquilo.bsky.social · 10/07/2025Just curious, has it always been this way? Or is this another facet of our descent into fascism ? 010
Dantzig @camilotranquilo.bsky.social · 15/06/2025Americans, like sailors on a sinking ship, saluted the Chinese as they sailed on, proof positive that they had taught the world what at first only the American mind could comprehend 🫡 020
Dantzig @camilotranquilo.bsky.social · 15/06/2025A question philosophers had pondered, "can only the American mind comprehend?" would finally be answered as the US slipped into its twilight. The rustling sound of 1.4 billion minds awakening was heard from a surprising source, the Peoples Republic of China. 110
Dantzig @camilotranquilo.bsky.social · 11/06/2025This episode inspired me to finally pick up They Thought They Were Free. Talk about a soul crushing book. 120
Dantzig @camilotranquilo.bsky.social · 09/06/2025I was just reading how CalTrain is projecting a budget shortfall and significant service cuts, along with a reduced budget in Newsom’s state budget proposal. If I recall the shortfall is less than its costs to fly around LAPDs helicopters. 000
Dantzig @camilotranquilo.bsky.social · 09/06/2025I remember as a middle schooler in the 2000s seeing when the motorcycle cops in Pasadena started carrying rifles on their bikes. We’ve been heading here (police state/fascism) for so long, I don’t get how so many people don’t see what’s happening before their eyes. 010
Dantzig @camilotranquilo.bsky.social · 01/04/2025There is, it’s the Project 2025 Job board. The plan is to replace the bureaucracy with loyalists www.project2025.org/personnel/project2025.orgPersonnel | Project 2025Please fill out the questionnaire below and upload your resume for inclusion in the Presidential Personnel Database if you would like to be considered for positions in a presidential Administration.

Dantzig @camilotranquilo.bsky.social · 17/03/2025100% agree with the sentiment, just checked though and this research is for maintaining remission. So not something for preventing cancer in the first place. But yeah anti science movements are destroying so much potential for progress. 020
Dantzig @camilotranquilo.bsky.social · 17/03/2025Please give an update after eating those. The world needs to know. I need to know what those taste like. 030
Dantzig @camilotranquilo.bsky.social · 16/03/2025Don’t worry, that parliamentarian is going to put a stop to this soon! 040
Dantzig @camilotranquilo.bsky.social · 04/03/2025Yeah those Kiva 1000 mg brownies might do the trick 010
Dantzig @camilotranquilo.bsky.social · 08/02/2025Not really, most the scientific R&D is developed in universities, which is then spun it out to private sectors via research publications, some patents, and startups. Private industry does much less R&D then it used to. Industry chases profits, and research is expensive with only long term rewards. 100

Dantzig @camilotranquilo.bsky.social · 29/01/2025It’s their plan per Project 2025. I tried to find an article but in 5 minutes I couldn’t. My recollection is that they created a giant listing where people could sign up (like a job board) such that they could quickly staff the new administration with sycophants. 100
Dantzig @camilotranquilo.bsky.social · 29/01/2025In undergrad I developed genetic engineering tools (CRISPR) for biofuels R&D, and engineered photosynthetic bacteria for renewable ethylene (plastic) production. In grad school I’ve studied optimization and electric power systems, plus researching climate change impacts on household energy costs. 080
Dantzig @camilotranquilo.bsky.social · 09/01/2025Made me sick to see the fire chief nearly chased off the microphone to get the police chief talking. After the police chief’s speech he conceded there wasn’t looting. The house I grew up in, my grandmas ended up two blocks from the fire front, I couldn’t reach her, and I want to hear about looting?? 030
Dantzig @camilotranquilo.bsky.social · 18/12/2024Masterful play, sir. I feel like between this and the child hunting island, you’re effectively employing Discordian tactics, and I’m here for it. Everyone who listens to you has to either lose their mind or become incredulous. 000
