Very sad to hear that Margaret Hamilton has passed away. Here's a short thread about her role in the Apollo mission, and her lesser-known work on the simulations that led to the discovery of Chaos Theory. 🧪 👩‍🔬 ⚛️

Nikita Bier out at X
Ladies and gentlemen, it's time to pass the torch and demote myself to my natural state: a poster. I'll be stepping back from leading product for 𝕏 and will continue on as an advisor.

Serving the X community has been the privilege of a lifetime. X is, and will remain, the most important communication technology in history. But running this app is a 24/7 job and it's now time for me to take a breather.

The app is seeing unprecedented growth in new users & engagement. We continue to break records every month. We've climbed 70 spots in the App Store since this time last year.

And in the last 400 days, we rebuilt almost every aspect of X: the Timeline, the Android app, onboarding, notifications, chat and more.

We also launched nearly 30 new products while protecting the integrity of the town square: becoming the first app to show Country-of-Origin on profiles and mounting defenses against AI bots. There's certainly much more work to be done, but our foundation is stronger than ever.

None of this would have been possible without the incredible team here. The next leaders will take X to even greater heights with 
@benjitaylor
 on design, 
@singhai
 on core product engineering and 
@dinkin_flickaa
 on mobile engineering -- among many other great people.

Thank you to Elon and the X team for welcoming me into the company. See you on the Timeline.

“Researchers estimated that key sections of the [San Andreas] fault in Southern California are at their highest level of tectonic strain in the last 1,000 years” web.archive.org/web/20260717...
A Los Angeles Times infographic titled "A red-hot San Andreas" (from the article at https://web.archive.org/web/20260717160636/https://www.latimes.com/california/story/2026-07-17/san-andreas-fault-at-highest-earthquake-strain-in-1-000-years-study-finds). The graphic features a topographical heat map of Central and Southern California, with a legend for "Average tectonic stress, in megapascals" ranging from 0 (blue) to 3 (red). A stark, bright red corridor of high stress perfectly traces the black lines of the San Andreas Fault and the San Jacinto Fault, stretching from north of Bakersfield down through the Cajon Pass and San Bernardino.

Text above the map reads: "The San Andreas, in other words, is locked, loaded and inevitable." A subheadline explains that the high stress on these fault sections is a product of having no significant quakes in over a century, and that calculations suggest sections at the Cajon Pass are at their highest strain in 1,000 years. The map also includes a 50-mile scale and plots various coastal and inland cities like Los Angeles, Santa Barbara, and Lancaster for geographical context.

This is the most astonishing graph of what the Trump regime has done to US science. They have destroyed the federal science workforce across the board. The negative impacts on Americans will be felt for generations, and the US might never be the same again. www.nature.com/immersive/d4...
This line graph illustrates the percentage change in agency staff levels from the previous year for nine major U.S. federal scientific and health organizations between the fiscal years 2016 and 2025. The agencies tracked include the CDC, Department of Energy, EPA, FDA, NASA, NIH, NIST, NOAA, and NSF. For the majority of the timeline between 2016 and 2023, the agencies show relatively stable fluctuations, generally staying within a range of +5% to -5% change per year. However, there is a dramatic and uniform plummet starting in the 2024–25 period. Every agency depicted shows a sharp downward trajectory, with staffing losses ranging from approximately -15% to over -25%. The Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) shows the most significant decline, dropping to roughly -26%, while the National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) shows the least severe but still substantial drop at approximately -15%.
