@Caltrain Baby Bullet, Limited Express, Local Service. I live right by a Caltrain station and my son and I go to watch the trains every night after dinner. He would LOVE this!

Watching the US Open women’s semifinals for probably the first time - exciting to see two teenagers in it! @leylahfernandez and @EmmaRaducanu 🎾

@Caltrain We love the Caltrain!

San Francisco has what I call "proximity without closeness". It's a balkanized city made up of groups of people who largely don't notice each other.

That is probably both a cause and an effect of its urban dysfunction.

“For thousands of years, California tribes burned the state’s forests and brushlands, clearing and enhancing the fire-adapted ecosystem. Then white people arrived and banned the practice.” https://t.co/ax0eY8Pv1r

The toll from California wildfires in recent years is the worst in the state's recorded history. Maps show how the climate crisis has spiraled out of control. https://t.co/J7LOXYbpI9

Key facts:

1. Police killings fell from 1970-2000, then SKYROCKETED

2. Police killings are now ~9% of all violent deaths in the U.S., up from 4%

3. The # of police officers killed fell in the 90s and hasn't risen since

4. Police killings are biased against Black people

This is one of the most infamous towns in Texas; famous for lynchings and being a sun down town. This is not a place you want to be caught in after night fall. I can't even believe what I'm seeing.

Excited to share our new @NatureComms paper!

People often see themselves as moral, even when acting selfishly. In work with @mollycrockett, @MichelAMarachal, Ernst Fehr, and co, we show how a memory bias supports peoples' moral self-views.

I baked a dozen cookies and then ate a dozen cookies today - how was everyone else’s first day of full on shelter at home?

WHO: don't say people “transmit COVID-19,” it implies blame and that's not very nice
