But government and industry have to do a much better job of working with the Indigenous communities where much of this geothermal energy lies. Yayut 陳怡萱 has been doing great work on this:

I've been yelling this for a quarter of a century now...

Today I turn 89. I’ve seen this country at its best and its worst, and I know how much community matters. For my birthday, I’m asking you to stand with PFLAG and support the work that’s helped so many in the LGBTQ+ community, including me. give.pflag.org/page/95493/d...

California is booming: Its economy is now bigger than Japan’s.

With the help of the Sandy Hook families, The Onion has reached a long-awaited deal to take over InfoWars.

We've enlisted the help of @timheidecker.bsky.social, who will be InfoWars' Creative Director.

Please stand by for more.

Grateful to Tyng-Ruey Chuang and the #DepositarLab #研究資料寄存所實驗室 team at #AcademiaSinica #中央研究院 for having me cover these ecological and social sciences talks at #RDMW2026 . 感謝個位老師的指教！ rdm.depositar.io/news/rdmw2026/ #Taiwan #ScienceInTaiwan #TaiwanResearch #DataScience #台灣 #台灣研究 #台灣科學 #科普 #科學新聞 🧋🧪

The Ecological and the Sociological: Tapping Into Taiwan’s Wealth of Long-Term Research Datasets Written by Ben Young Landis for depositar lab / Research Data Management Hub

"The Ecological and the Sociological: Tapping Into Taiwan’s Wealth of Long-Term Research Datasets" (rdm.depositar.io/news/rdmw2026/) is my first official science writing assignment in Taiwan! Read on if you're a researcher or science journalist interested looking for resources and leads in Asia. 🧋🧪

1998: there are thousands of cool websites all hyperlinked together.

2026: there are four cool websites each with same content and the same images.

Some people have misunderstood this.

We literally saw how Claude itself, coded by Claude, turns one API call into a DOS of thousands upon thousands of API calls done in the sloppiest fucking way possible.

This postmortem shows Bluesky vibecoded a function to DOS itself, in a similarly stupid way.

Very excited to share my new paper w/ Wen-Cheng Lin & Wen-Chin Wu.
Using panel data from 108 countries between 2000 and 2020, we find that Chinese aid is significantly associated with decline in media freedom in recipient countries.

Played around with a cocktail to help launch #TaipeiScienceCafe #台北科普咖啡 tonight. I call it the "Science Experiment" because it was definitely one last night, playing around with graduated cylinders, taring scales, and remembering saturation principles. Come have a taste if you're in Taipei! 🧪🥃☕️

I’ll say it once again- earth science education is important!!!
🧪⚒️

Not my hobby, but my job: “String” is information — facts, quotes, etc.

Getting info for a story? You’re gathering string.

Sending info to another reporter or editor? You’re feeding them string.

A freelancer who regularly gathers info for a news outlet or wire service? You’re a stringer.

"Our Earth Is Never Quiet! What Is It Telling Us?" Is tonight!!! #Taiwan 🧪

Thomson Reuters Fired Worker For Speaking Out About ICE, Former Employee Says “When I saw evidence that our products were being used to harm people and undermine the law, I did what anyone should do—I raised the alarm. Thomson Reuters’ response was to fire me.”

New: Thomson Reuters, which runs the CLEAR database ICE uses, fired a longstanding employee for speaking out against ICE, a new lawsuit says. Billie Little led an internal effort raising concerns; was fired. We've shown CLEAR is linked to ICE's Palantir tool

This time, our speaker New Chaninthon teaches us the basics of earthquakes and how seismology has opened the door to studying “Ambient Noise”. New is a Doctoral Researcher in Geosciences at National Taiwan University and Institute of Earth Sciences, Academia Sinica, Taiwan

This Wednesday night! DAYBREAK presents our new TAIPEI SCIENCE CAFÉ speaker series, where you can hear from brilliant creative minds who connect science knowledge with our community and our daily life. No prior science expertise required to attend

Another advantage for approved artists, is that I’ve added a ton of hashtags related to SciArt.

If they forget to add #SciArt or 🐡 while posting say, #paleoart or #SundayFishSketch, it will appear in the SciArt Feed. Reduces friction.

This is a main value proposition of following the SciArt Feed instead of just the #SciArt hashtag. Anyone can post AI slop on the hashtag.

But I’ve checked every contributor before allowing them to post in the SciArt Feed. If they do, I delete them as a contributor and all their posts disappear. 🐡

The SciArt Feed here on Bluesky is gated so I can keep Gen AI out.

If someone posts AI, I boot them and it disappears. I think it’s happened twice in 2.5 years. A worry-free feed.
