Okay, okay, I'll grant this one, even though it should technically be more like, "if it works today and if working today means it'll work tomorrow, then it'll work forever".
What makes a protest movement successful? Social Change Lab just finished a 6-month report looking into this and we're excited to share our results. We conducted a literature review, bespoke public opinion polling, interviews with experts, and more. What we found 🧵
Sometimes (very rarely) I wish I didn't have a PhD so that I could go get one.
I will be taking on at least one new PhD student in automatic theorem proving in October 2023. If you might be interested in applying, it is bureaucratically easier if you do so before January 6th, though not completely essential. 1/ wtgowers.github.io/human-style-at…
I think the new richest person should be required to buy Twitter now and this cycle should continue until none of them are rich anymore

Oh the joys of a 3 monitor setup, with the smallest of the 3 being over twice the size of my laptop screen. Virtual desktops helped, a little, but it's just not the same.
Seen on Mastodon which sums it up pretty succinctly…
You've seen Advent of Code, now get ready for Ramadan of Code. It's 30 days of no coding.
If you want to reduce your carbon footprint, focus on what you eat, not whether your food is local. The chart shows why: transport tends to account for only a small share of greenhouse gas emissions — the differences between different food choices are much larger.
Hey, me too! I don't mind tbh.
I’ve now been alive longer in the 21st century than I was in the 20th century and I don’t like it
Elon Musk's Twitter just suspended the account of antifascist researcher @chadloder likely to suppress reporting on right-wing extremists. As I reported, Loder's painstaking research identifying a Proud Boy who attacked police on Jan 6 was cited by the DOJ theintercept.com/2021/11/10/pro…
