Day 10: Stacey Mason
Another academic, but this time one of my compatriots; we overlapped at UC Santa Cruz as advisees of Michael Mates, and even collaborated on a Twitch stream called ScholarsPlay for a bit, although we never coauthored any papers. We did chat about our research, and I had many good discussions with her about agency in interactive fiction, a topic we both published on. Her paper "On Games and Links: Extending the Vocabulary of Agency and Immersion in Interactive Narratives" (#20AuthorsNoMen

Interesting graph from @….
There was a •fascinating• 99pi about the push to create an official Category 6 — and the surprisingly compelling arguments against doing that (more fully developed in the story audio than in the web text summary):

One thing that’s a clear point of consensus in that debate is that the existing Saffir-Simpson hurricane scale isn’t up to the task of describing what we face now. https://fediscience.org/@rahmstorf/115481161250561175

Many of us are in @… and @… ’s situation here: plastics are collected for recycling, but few/none enter the recycling stream. In that situation:
- Robin’s response is the first and best one: use less.
- In addition, I’d advocate for (1) continuing to recycle what you can’t avoid using and (2) give that city gov endless headaches about their failure to recycle. Show there’s demand for recyclability, get whatever tiny fraction does get recycled out of the waste stream, •and• make headaches for people in positions of power for plastic failing to live up to that demand.
I would •not• just stop recycling. Don’t just give up. My 2¢.

Organic geochemical evidence for life in Archean rocks identified by pyrolysis–GC–MS and supervised machine learning: #life in ancient rocks: https://gizmodo.com/ai-uncovers-evidence-of-life-in-3-3-billion-year-old-rocks-2000687539 / https://www.reuters.com/science/new-method-spots-signs-earths-primordial-life-ancient-rocks-2025-11-18/ - a machine-learning-enhanced approach to chemical analysis is drastically expanding the chemical record of life on Earth, and it could help us find evidence of life on other planets too.
