My good friend, Ali, has been doing amazing work on US foreign policy and has just finished his next book, including an afterword specifically addressing the war in Ukraine. Would highly recommend! smile.amazon.com/gp/buy/thankyo…

Hey who reads The Drift? What essay should I read to get a taste of their work? NYT just profiled them: nytimes.com/2022/02/26/sty…

Playing with text-to-image AI systems (VQGAN+CLIP). Here's "perfection" 400 iterations in... think we have a ways to go yet.

:O Kevin!!

OK! I need to catch up for #31forchange @ltelkins @jamestanton 13th - Ask one person every day what positive change they would most like the make in the world, and encourage them in their plans or dreams. Make it the norm to think & talk about these things!

Today is the first day of the last month of 2019. The next decade will be one of rapid change. Each day in Dec. we challenge you to think of one bold idea you could pursue for a positive world during the new decade. By Jan 1st we'll each have a list of 31 ideas. #31forChange

@ltelkins @jeffreyjcohen I deem a shared motto acceptable. What do you think of "No whining without action, or the small bunny with the large axe will get you." Except in French.

@jeffreyjcohen @TurnerBohlen Oh I feel SO much more legit! Now for that snail!

Best family motto ever.

@ltelkins at the @NASANewHorizons #UltimaThuleFlyby event, speaking about missions to visit small bodies (@NASAPsyche) across the solar system!

At the @NASANewHorizons Ultima Thule flyby today and learning crazy things already! Pluto has nitrogen glaciers - woah.

Great article about scientists exploring the biochemical basis for the placebo effect. Very cool! nytimes.com/2018/11/07/mag…

SO excited to be at @LearnLaunchX team here is hilarious AND fantastically helpful. Amazing combination.

@fefarmer Well, fellow Turners are so rare! Hope your son enjoyed the photo :)

It was a pleasure to meet @TurnerBohlen yesterday. He even, kindly, allowed me to take a photo of him!

At @ASU congressional conference in space exploration hearing an awesome vision from @JimBridenstine on NASAs plan to return to the moon, and head to mars. So exciting! Plus, great centerpieces:

@beaglelearning @benbungert @LearnLaunchX Manhattans and old fashioneds distracted us... Advantage of the AZ variety of marg are the fresh-squeezed lemon and lime juice from the tree in the backyard. Definitely worth a visit.

@benbungert @LearnLaunchX Look closer, @benbungert! (OK they were slightly different options...come out to AZ for some rockin' margs!)

Go @beaglelearning! Just finished pitching @LearnLaunchX Ed tech accelerator in Boston. Cross fingers for us! (Miss you Megan!!)

Beagle Learning is excited to be pitching in the semi-finals for @LearnLaunchX tomorrow, in Boston! Cheer for us! Agency and problem-solving and 21st-c skills, all the things we wish for education!

Using sentiment analysis to map the falls and fortunes of the characters in novels - so cool! Thanks for sharing it with me, @ltelkins bbc.com/culture/story/…

@ltelkins They are delicious! .... Although I ruined 2/3s of them by trying to make sweet roast parsnips with what turned out to be mold-infested maple syrup. Will try again tomorrow!

Love having you here! How are the parsnips? twitter.com/turnerbohlen/s…

Big plus of visiting the parents: dig-your-own-lunch! @ltelkins @jamestanton

In a @beaglelearning conversation on Slack @TurnerBohlen posted an article that claims our attention span is down to 1 second (!), and so we immediately riffed on that concept as follows. Because we are serious people.
