🌍 EM-DAT, the world's most trusted global disaster database, maintained by UCLouvain's CRED, is at risk of shutting down after losing USAID funding.
In an era of intensifying climate extremes, reliable data are not a luxury. They are the infrastructure for informed decision-making.
I wrote a short post explaining why EM-DAT matters and how you can help by signing the open letter 👇

New post with @joshuamarie: Bayesian Neural Networks in {tidymodels} with {kindling} 🔥
BNNs learn weight distributions instead of fixed values — giving uncertainty estimates alongside predictions, all within a standard {tidymodels} workflow.

🚀 New blog post live!
Together with @joshuamarie, we explore how to do more with neural networks in R using {kindling}, a higher-level interface to {torch} that makes building, training & tuning deep learning models smoother (and tidymodels-friendly)

📢 Excited to share that our paper “Semi-Markov modeling for disease incidence risk and duration” has been accepted for publication in Biostatistics & Epidemiology!
It explores cancer incidence risk and years of life lost due to cancer using a Semi-Markov illness-death model applied to Belgian Cancer Registry data, with implications for the right to be forgotten in insurance.

I had a simple dream: put two giant telescopes on one mount and become a god-tier astrophotographer.
What actually happened: I may have created a gravitational threat to local infrastructure and possibly broke a guide camera I dropped before even powering anything on.
This video has it all — reckless optimism, questionable engineering, emotional damage, and way too many bolts.
Enjoy this tale of ambition, imbalance, and the moment my mount silently begged for mercy. 🔭🧠💥

Jeff "never puts away anything, especially oven mitts" Cliff, Bringer of Nightmares 🦝🐙 🇱🇧🧯 🇨🇦 @[email protected] ·#stateandrevolution point
2) Marx's #forgottenwords
"The *first* decree of the Commune...was the suppression of the standing army, and the substitution for it of the armed people"
This sounds like a great idea, and I have a long history of supporting it ( see for example, https://defdist.org )
but a couple of subthoughts are knawing at me
i) #betterangelsofournature the long arc of history seems to be against empowering individuals to be more violent. It's of course pro-leviathan and the whole point here seems to be to do away with the monopoly of violence generally. But I do think there's some handwaving about the tendencies for internecine tit-for-tat to get out of control if everyone's armed. Maybe there's no general solution here and it's a community-by-community thing?
ii) How *do* you arm a people against firebombing? Is this one of those "we'll solve that problem once we start getting closer to being firebombed?" There seems to be not only a guns vs butter problem here but also one of too much generality of 'what are you arming them against'? Granted 'armed' is a pretty general purpose concept...
