Just received a mailer with a blatant racist attempt (obviously from Republicans and their affiliates) to encourage Virginia Voters to vote NO on redistricting claiming it will lead to Jim Crow era abuses.
How stupid are people if they fall for this. We obviously are voting YES for redistricting. Just also got our special ballots in the mail.
Why ultra-processed food might not be as bad as we’re told – The Little Things

The media is at it again. Headlines scream that landlords exiting the market will cause a rental crisis. But think for a second: if an investor sells a house, it doesn't vanish. It's sold to someone who will likely live in it. That means one less renter competing for a home.
This isn't a crisis; it's a market correction towards more owner-occupiers. But that doesn't get clicks.

The #TrumpRegime is pulling #USA back towards the 60s ...
Austin Fowler was fired from #Google for working on a #quantumcomputing topics (#TQEC) and made a related #compiler being #opensource.
Google was concerned this open source work involves «people from certain countries». This is #scaremongering.
Why I got fired from Google on Tuesday May 27. Dear all, I've had a few days to process this, and to be clear moving forward I'll just be focusing on the business I started building over two decades ago (https://lnkd.in/gHn4sYhD), so I'm fine, but I'd like to explain how a 10+ year position at Google came to a sudden end. The beginning of the story was my desire to work on an open source quantum compiler based on the surface code (https://lnkd.in/gdyiGsnW). The associated Google group discussing topological quantum error correction (TQEC) has attracted nearly a thousand participants (https://lnkd.in/gY62gBJr), and this is fed by a free Coursera course on quantum error correction that has attracted over 14,000 participants (https://lnkd.in/gyWRdeZZ). So what's the problem? The problem is that apparently it is not okay anymore to work at Google and be associated with a project that involves people from certain countries. The whole point of the project is of course to involve people from every country, and this was seen as an unacceptable security risk. My desire to try to find a way to keep doing this while at Google made them see my continued employment there an unacceptable security risk. So what now? Right now my involvement in all things quantum is on a pause since I do not know if, while residing in the US, it is legal for me to be associated with the TQEC project. I'm on a green card, and we are in the process of renewing those green cards, so the last thing I desire is to be in trouble with the federal government. The laws on export control seem to extend to quantum software these days. If you work at an institution in the US that has an opinion on how to conduct an open source project involving people from all over the world working on a quantum compiler in a safe and legally compliant manner, please reach out to me. Without a US institution and lawyers to defend the activity, at the moment I cannot safely participate in quantum computing research. Best, Austin. | 59 comments on LinkedIn

Raising #MinimumWage Does Not Hurt #FastFood #Workers;
Fast-food #corporations opposed a #California minimum wage increase under the guise of concern for workers, claiming it would result in lost #jobs. The bill passed, and the numbers are in: that concern was just #scaremongering.
https://portside.org/2024-10-26/raising-minimum-wage-does-not-hurt-fast-food-workers
When California passed AB 1228 last September, raising the minimum wage for fast-food workers from $15.50 to $20 per hour — the highest in the nation — the industry responded with a familiar litany of threats. If fast-food corporations and their franchisees were forced to pay workers closer to a livable wage, they would have to raise prices, lay people off, and replace workers with robots en masse to make up the difference.
No, bras don't cause #breastcancer
"This resolution of an un-biopsied lump that was almost certainly benign led to a study of almost 5,000 women that was not blinded and did not control for known risk factors for breast cancer, and yet somehow allowed them to conclude bras were a cause of breast cancer. This study was also not published in a peer-reviewed medical journal."

‘A catastrophe’: Greenpeace blocks planting of ‘lifesaving’ Golden Rice
https://www.theguardian.com/environment/article/2024/may/25/greenpeace-blocks-planting-of-lifesaving-golden-rice-philippines
<< this is bloody awful by Greenpeace.
You just can't pretend to be evidence-based and then campaign on scare mongering anti-science positions - no better than the fossil-fuel lobbyists.
Shameful.
