Sean Penn: "These people are fighting for the dreams and aspirations of all of us Americans. This is leadership that we aspire to. This is freedom of thought and true leadership that is just so moving. It’s the kind of moving that we need to be able to get [to the United States], which is borderline a kind of populist lap dance of a nation at this point.
We’ve got to get back on track together and realize that Ukraine, with all its diversity, has a unity we’ve never seen in modern times..."
@Cymru Wow...you've gone macro and I've gone micro. Imagine if one is more or less a model for the other. Love that you are taking the dive into deep learning!
@IrelandTorin Welcome, welcome! You will get used to the "tweet deck" style interface soon enough. In the meantime, just know that you're already surrounded by decent people who are glad you've arrived.
@Cymru Nope. I only took High School chemistry, so I am constantly learning TONS. Just had one of my designs published in Nature Communications, a scientific, peer-reviewed journal.
@th3j35t3r You're right about the CoSo denizens. So many interesting, thought provoking, richly inspiring, creatives and thinkers.
@evistre I discovered that I small lemon wedge makes all the difference. I drink so much more as a result.
@evistre Totally under rated. It's the best and most satisfying.
@Cymru Welcome to CoSo!
Here's a beverage... 🥃
it's okay to put your feet on the coffee table here as long as your shoes aren't too muddy.
@Cymru Learning Italian at the moment.
Taking a little break from Eternagame.org an online citizen science RNA folding platform affiliated with Stanford Dept of Medicine and Molecular Biology and Carnegie Mellon. Here's a blurb that describes it better:
I don't know what else to do but to watch the flight tracker and hope that the right supplies and equipment are getting into the right hands to end all this.
I read translated tweets of both ukrainians and russians to try and understand what are in the hearts of people...the human currents. There is no shortage of blame, shame and denial, but mostly, there are pleas for military help in any form. All done while digging and filling mass graves.
Serbia, Chechnya, Syria...one man.
It's such a helpless depressing feeling knowing that horrific evil and destruction is being perpetrated against innocent civilians not unlike you and I and an entire county being turned to dust because of one sick, megalomaniac drunk on power leader. The barbaric, callousness of the fighters looting, raping, pillaging, leaving dead bodies of captured civilians shot/raped and some burned just rotting on the streets. Russians are not humans.
It's all so wrong.
@th3j35t3r Yes, it was a good experience overall. I think what matters most is just knowing that someone is trying to help and to figure things out. That whatever the issue is has not been lost in the shuffle. I would have been fine just starting over, but am glad I didn't have to do that.
@th3j35t3r Like coming home
@th3j35t3r Yeah, bad things can happen when you start changing settings that you don't fully understand. I didn't think it was you, but I really wish I had not used the email that I did when first registering. Only complicated things more. I do appreciate the time, effort and patience provided.
@th3j35t3r No, I don't think that was suggested, but it was not that.
@th3j35t3r Don't asked me what I did beside changing my email a zillion times, and changing some settings on my profile page. Had to kill like 6 open sessions too. Either way, I am relieved to be BACK!
