Robotics (land-sea-air-space-underwater) and AI since 2008. Not a tech bro, I was there before them and will be there after them. I bit one once, though. Progressive policies and humanism, please. (Any pronouns. My adjectives are GRUMPY and CARING)

Studying the formal writings of Hitler or Mussolini is about as useful for understanding fascism as studying the Bible is for understanding the megachurch phenomenon: not useless, but nowhere near sufficient.

I stand with Dr. Anthony Fauci …because I value EVIDENCE over conspiracy, DATA over rumors, and SCIENCE over politics. No public official is beyond criticism, but there’s a difference between honest scientific guidance and misinformation. I’ll choose evidence EVERY time. #medsky #publichealth

“What a beautiful universe, hon" says a telescope as gazes upon an aurora borealis. “It really is”, responds the telescope's partner, who it turns out is not a telescope, but a microscope. Hands full of algae, she wades waist deep in a disgusting swamp, amazed by the heavenly microscopic life all around them.

Trump calls environmentalists “terrorists.” Yet he’s responsible for destroying more oil & gas infrastructure, and more fossil-fuel demand, than the most optimistic ecoterrorist could in their wildest dreams. He’s helping the very transition he abhors.
