NEW: We obtained the 911 calls & police radio traffic during the #Uvalde school shooting, which police for 5 months refused to disclose. What they reveal is some officers knew students were likely in danger, yet did not immediately act (1/10) propublica.org/article/uvald…

Congratulations @linseymarr on being a scientist who shifted the scientific paradigm. I hope you got that Ph.D. wired.com/story/the-teeny-ti…
If you’ve ever read Kuhn’s Structure of Scientific Revolutions this is a fantastic example of work getting done to change a crucial paradigm. Great story. The 60-Year-Old Scientific Screwup That Helped Covid Kill | WIRED wired.com/story/the-teeny-ti…
#BULawProf @Hartzog shares, "One of the great myths is that data security is an individual responsibility, rather than a collective structural problem that requires collective structural solutions." Read/listen about he & @DanielSolove's book, "Breached!": spr.ly/6014MUhi0

Thinking about the concept of "bias laundering" by @mmitchell_ai in the context of image generation is fascinating as, given the current pace, it's not too crazy to think that in a year or two, most of the images on the internet will have been created with machine learning.

Florida went looking for voter fraud. Instead, it proved that election crime is exceedingly rare, often accidental, and sometimes the fault of the state's own negligent government. bit.ly/3x7JwfA

It's the fundamental difference between having a King/Queen and having a President.
Right. This is the whole theory behind “no one is above the law.” It’s a very important tenant of liberal democracy.

The overwhelming victory by pro-choice Kansans was also a critical win for women in surrounding states whose bodies have been appropriated for forced births and who will be able to receive health care in Kansas.

This is a win for Kansans, our families, and our rights. We rejected extremism and chose a path forward that protects all Kansans’ ability to make their own choices, without government interference.

The original Covid had an Ro value of 3.3, meaning each infected person infected 3.3 others. Low transmissibility, yet still killed millions. Measles is the highest with an Ro value of 18. The latest Covid subvariants have an Ro value of 18.6. If you think it's over, guess again.

Mississippi legislators openly discuss using dogs at airports to sniff women leaving the state. The dogs can tell if a woman is pregnant.
Readers added context they thought people might want to know
This is satire. Mississippi’s legislators are not discussing using search dogs to find pregnant women. twitter.com/ashtonpittman/…

What is so depressing about this is that between “vote harder” and “magically codify Roe,” there is a lot of tactical ground the Biden administration could choose to stake out.But instead they are doing this. It smells of loser stink, a combo of burnout and learned helplessness.
Replying to @AlexThomp
"Biden and officials are concerned that more radical moves would be politically polarizing ahead of November's midterm elections, undermine public trust in institutions like the Supreme Court or lack strong legal footing, sources inside and outside the White House say."

What we are experiencing is not leadership. It is complicity masquerading as helplessness.
