Taylor Lorenz“The death of ‘websites’ and outlets that value true creativity and diversity in coverage — largely at the whims of ghoulish executives and private equity vulturism — has created in me a stinging grief that I cannot seem to shake.” https://lindseyadler.substack.com/p/ten-years-in-a-crumbling-industry

In the first year after the elimination of affirmative action, we're seeing a decimation in representation of black and Latino students at MIT. From 1 in 3 to 1 in 6.
"Its figures show that this year, the percentage of black students enrolled dropped to 5% from 15%, and the percentage of Hispanic and Latino students dropped to 11% from 16%."
@universalhub can't find a tip line on the website. But BPS told the Bates last week they no longer planned to install ACs this summer. So our kids are going to be subject to 100 degree temps this week in class and right now there's no plan from BPS to address it. You can contact Principal Ginsburg for confirmation.

I'm so looking forward to seeing you all in Montreal!
Wow, would never believe how little moderation there is on Quora - anti-semitic conspiracy theories are pretty easy to find and there appears to be zero consequence. It's just basic platform integrity 101 stuff.

Was going through the literature on models of extremism and realized all these papers using Twitter data for research are now all unreplicable because the tweets can't be re-hydrated
Another company founded! This one is focused on bringing content moderation to all platforms, online communities, and digitally-mediated social spaces no matter the size.
