Justice Ketanji Brown Jackson slammed the Supreme Court’s use of its “emergency docket,” saying it has allowed the Trump administration to advance a host of controversial policies while challenges play out in lower courts.

Justice Ketanji Brown Jackson criticizes Supreme Court’s use of emergency docket
In a public appearance, Jackson said the high court’s use of the emergency docket was “problematic” and called for more restraint from her colleagues when using it.

AP Stylebook warns against anthropomorphizing AI systems: “Avoid language that gives them human characteristics… Instead, explain what a system does, how well it performs, who built it and who could be affected by it.”
APStylebook @APStylebook

Artificial intelligence systems do not think, feel, want or understand. Avoid language that gives them human characteristics. This is called anthropomorphizing, when we ascribe human traits, emotions or behaviors to non-human things, such as animals or inanimate objects.
Instead, explain what a system does, how well it performs, who built it and who could be affected by it.

The NIH funds lifesaving research into treatments for Alzheimer’s, heart disease, diabetes, cancer & more. Handing funding control to political appointees instead of independent review boards won't make us healthier or safer. It’s the opposite. www.scientificamerican.com/article/what...

Last year, the Trump administration launched a sweeping campaign to censor American history and science in the National Park Service. A crowdsourced project aims to document every sign in the more than 400 national parks and historic sites across the country before the government removes them 🧵
A map of the US that shows over 400 national parks in monuments where Save Our Signs volunteers have taken 17,000 photos.

The parks with the most photo submissions are:
1) Independence national historical park in Pennsylvania (887 photos)
2) Harpers Ferry national historical park in West Virginia (553 photos)
3) Valley Forge national historical park in Pennsylvania (511 photos)
