Such a treat to read the story of how this monumental piece of legislation came together. Told directly by one of its architects no less!
🧵Tomorrow is the 25th Anniversary of enactment of the Telecommunications Act of 1996. I've put some personal reflections on the rich history that led successful passage of that law in 3 Medium posts - Part I is here: colincrowell.medium.com/the-…

Two dozen experts, including @dkroy, share their ideas for addressing polarization and extremism, reducing inequality, improving the pandemic response, and fostering a sense of national purpose. xitter.cf/dkroy/status/135196282…
How might we act on @POTUS’ call to end this “uncivil war”? An idea: create the Civic Communications Corps + advanced tech platform to catalyze nationwide network of communities for greater mutual understanding of others & more responsive govt. politico.com/news/magazine/2…

"A pandemic is a communications emergency as much as a medical crisis." When we are teaching the next generation, please keep that line in mind. If we bungle the communication, we cannot win against the epidemic. We need full clarity, whatever it is. xitter.cf/zeynep/status/12545620…

Incredible to see what our #BeatTheVirus team of volunteer designers, creatives, data scientists, consultants, and partners have been pulling off on a pro bono basis to help communicate timely scientific messaging on COVID-19. We're in Times Square now! Thanks to @Nasdaq!
We are live in Times Square on the @Nasdaq billboard. We hope you don't actually get to see our message in person though. Stay home. Stay safe. #BeatTheVirus.

The truth is, everyone is at risk in this pandemic. Keep you, your loved ones, and your community safe by staying home as much as you are able to. The medical community is unified on this. Be smart, #BeatTheVirus.

Put together a little #dataviz proof of concept during a hack week at work last week. It's a 3D faceted search UI using #reactjs, #threejs, and react-three-fiber. 50,000 objects at 60 FPS in the browser is pretty sweet!!
