congrats to the oxford botanic garden scientists who captured the moment when the infamous mediterranean squirting cucumber (ecballium elaterium) shoots its seeds up to 40 feet by exploding off the stem with the pressure of an inflated bike tire 🥒🧪

Researching and reporting my story about how truly horrible Facebook has become genuinely rattled me, and changed how I looked at the internet permanently. It's important to understand how messed up they are. www.wheresyoured.at/killingfaceb...
Yet Zuckerberg could not perpetuate these disgusting acts without the help of people like Chief Marketing Officer Alex Schultz, who saw to it that Meta shut down CrowdTangle, a public insights tool from Meta that allowed researchers to easily analyze what was happening on Facebook. Horwitz reports in Broken Code that Facebook — led by Alex Schultz — killed CrowdTangle because reporter Kevin Roose kept posting a list of Facebook’s most-engaged-with content, and that Facebook was dominated with right wing lunacy and misinformation like “Plandemic,” a COVID conspiracy film that Joel Kaplan, head of Meta’s public policy team, initially blocked the health team from removing until Roose reported that it was Facebook’s number one post.

Just to be abundantly clear, the Head of Public Policy at Facebook deliberately allowed the spread of COVID conspiracies, and would have continued to do so if a reporter hadn’t used a Facebook tool to show how popular they were, which resulted in Facebook choosing to kill the tool that allowed the reporter to find out.

Introducing old friend group to new one. Alex stands nervously in the middle of two groups of people, one her old friend group of Cis dudes and the other, her new friend group of trans women. Group of cis men meet group of trans women with initial awkwardnes. One cis man asks trepidatiously "do... you like Magic cards." A Trans woman answers "yeah." Everyone is getting along playing Magic cards, much to Alex's delight.

Why is Tokyo so fashionable? Some theories. 🧵

Instead, we should look to history, path dependency, institutional structures, politics, and economics. For Tokyo, I think urban planning—walkability, mixed use neighborhoods, affordable real estate—all contribute to the richer media and commercial systems that feed into culture.

News has just broke that Trump plans to eject trans people from the military within days of inauguration. Trans servicemembers who have served 19 years will lose their pensions and healthcare. This is obscene. They served our country, and will be kicked to the side like trash.
