Gun Violence Is Actually Worse in Red States. It’s Not Even Close.
This is an interesting analysis of gun violence in the US.

The bathroom light fixtures at this beach house look like rolls of toilet paper. I'm guessing they were installed in the spring of 2020, when having toilet paper all over the place would imply luxury.

Oh, and another thing I wish people would understand better is the importance of having a support system; the ‘tooth-to-tail ratio’ is a military term, but it matters in activism as well, in the sense that the logistics of bending the arc of history towards justice more people in support roles than anything else.
You got to roll deep.
If you cannot be in the fight directly, support those that are. Positive reinforcement matters.
Also, cat pictures. Never be without 😼

Anyone want to help organize an CS and (Anti)-Capitalism BoF at #SIGCSE2024 in Portland? It'd be fun to find all the folks in the community thinking about capitalism and advancent forces (racism, colonialism, exploitation, capture) and start building some community.

Ethical debt happens when tech developers don't take enough time to consider consequences before deployment, and instead wait to see what the "bugs" will be. Which requires speculation about likely consequences... but that doesn't mean imagining sci-fi futures. *Near-term* speculation is even more important when it's so clear what the immediate harms of AI can be...
