it turns out that “optimize for engagement” and “optimize for societal best outcomes” are opposing goals and if you look at the entire history of the tech industry you can see which of those two wins out

🇨🇦🇺🇸 CBC reports Minnesota residents are organizing to protect elections after ICE raids, 4,000 arrests and two fatal shootings. As Canadian Conservatives propose tougher enforcement and far-right groups demand mass deportations, would we be ready to organize in defence of civil liberties?

PIANO344.BMF
A black and white icon of a baby grand piano, the lid propped open. Mark suddenly remembers a moment from his childhood, watching television with his parents, up past his bedtime. It’s Taxi. Everyone is at a fancy party and the eccentric, spaced-out Reverend Jim Ignatowski—Christopher Lloyd years before he was Doc—sits down at a piano to play. He stumbles through an elementary version of “Mary Had a Little Lamb.” Everyone is cringing, embarrassed for him. Suddenly Jim launches into a virtuoso performance of Chopin’s “Fantaisie Impromptu” in C# minor. The magic of that moment, Mark cannot explain. Staying up late on a school night. Laughing with his mom and dad in the cozy den. The stunning prodigy of a man people look down upon. The wonder of everything. It was 1982.

Data suggests government efforts have fallen short of what was promised, and teachers continue to grapple with complex issues during their daily work.

Ironically, my original interview with the journalist I spoke with was primarily about how "inconsistencies" can come from gender bias in investigatory processes and then be blamed on survivors. It was the inspiration for this thread--but none of these points made it into any USA Today article:

I have fully decided that girly to me means moss and forests that you could see fairies and elven women with swords running through it. Hence my obsession with embroidering skeletons being swallowed by the forest floor. I was never a pink girlie, but I am definitely a fantasy forest girlie.
