Today in Comics History: In "Peanuts" on August 2, 1979 (40 years ago), Lucy actually tried to hold the football in place so Charlie Brown could kick it. (Predictably, it did not end well for either of them.) pic.twitter.com/Ivf6dLzJM1 — Tom Heintjes (@Hoganmag) August 2, 2019 via https://twitter.com/Hoganmag

But if you model things that interact with human behavior, and you then show (either explicitly or implicitly) the results of your model to humans, you are via your model changing the very thing you are attempting to predict. Google's ad algorithms aren't just predicting… — Colin Wyers (@cwyers) October 29, 2019 via https://twitter.com/cwyers

Have just heard a paleontologist say this, which blew my head off: When a T-Rex was alive all Stegosaurus were already fossils. A T-Rex is closer in time to an iPad than to a Stegosaurus. — Marc Willcox (@MarcWillcox) September 2, 2019 via https://twitter.com/MarcWillcox

Right. Take a deep breath. 🥵 After the #NoConfidenceVote I have reworked my Brexit flow diagram. 🚨 The events of the last two days have made this more complex, not less. And there are more loops than before. I *think* the chances of #Article50 extension are now up though. pic.twitter.com/jlcqDJq4i0 — Jon Worth (@jonworth) January […]

I'm beginning to question the assumption that exploration is a quality of good decision making. In human work, it assumes that people have lived safe lives where seeking information has resulted in good outcomes. This is not a valid assumption for much of humanity. — Grissom Lab (@NicolaGrissom) January 4, 2019 via https://twitter.com/NicolaGrissom
