Coincidentally I stopped at the Wytheville Visitor Center which has an exhibit about first responders.

Called and was told they are honoring a fallen firefighter who was being transported back to their jurisdiction.

I-81 south of Roanoke VA: first responders parked on bridges above the interstate: lines of fire trucks, ambulances. Anyone know what’s happening?

The difference between his record and the way the media covers him is enormous.

does anyone know of a book on political / social systems in science fiction? looking at different scifi governance experiments (some that come to mind - the dispossessed, culture series, mars trilogy, terra ignota, star trek, etc. etc.) pls i want to read this so much

@the_IGRI @CaliCurley This link, and from the IGRI website lead to: "Sorry, this survey has already expired"

Yesterday was my last day of working at Google. Perhaps this comes as surprise to you twitter folks, as I haven't widely announced that I left academia to try something new. Here's what I learned in 9 months as a Data Analyst who (temporarily) left Astronomy for Big Tech. 1/n

6/6 A map for exploring the payoff space of interdependence. Changes in outcome ranks connect models of collective action situations

5/6 Diverse problems of collective gain vs individual incentives: inefficiency, coordination (assurance or rival equilibria) and instability

1/6 Diverse Dilemmas: Mapping Interdependence in a Periodic Table of Strategic Situations. International Conference on Social Dilemmas #ICSDCPH

@divyasiddarth @UsePolis I chose the place I knew less about, with more new opportunities, which left the other as a fallback if things didn't work out. Still in the DC area ten+ years later.

Created a poll about where I should live but forgot to ask for reasoning...now I just have numbers (amateur mistake)---this is the problem with voting-based democracy! What does it all mean! Should have used @UsePolis. + if you do have Bay Area vs. NYC thoughts please comment!

Wednesday 12:00pm EST, I'm a panelist for the Ostrom Book Club on Sheila Foster and Chrystie Swiney's Cambridge Handbook of Commons Research Innovations. My chapter: "Transforming Climate Dilemmas from Tragedy to Cooperation." ostromworkshop.indiana.edu/events/researc…

@jo_chamb For some interesting ideas on mindful ways of feeling, see Compassionate Communication (aka Nonviolent Communication) including the work of Miki Kashtan. thefearlessheart.org/store/spinning/

Why so much more focus on "ways of knowing" (epistemologies) than "ways of feeling" (?????-ologies)? e.g. fear can be felt as certainty or doubt; creativity or apathy; isolation or compassion... joy can be felt as certainty or doubt…

Yep. Maybe some of those reporters hanging around Manchin and Sinema could instead start asking Romney, Murkowski, Collins, Portman, etc. some tough questions about voting rights.
