Check it out. I just published TeleMessage Explorer: a new open source research tool https://micahflee.com/telemessage-explorer-a-new-open-source-research-tool/

TeleMessage Explorer: a new open source research tool

I've spent the last week or two writing code to make sense of the massive hack of data from TeleMessage, the comically insecure company that makes a modified Signal app that Trump's former national security advisor Mike Waltz was caught using. I've decided to publish my code as open source

From @pluralistic :

"Just a QR Code" is a new site that generates QR codes, operating entirely in your browser, without transmitting any data to a server or trying to cram ads into your eyeballs. The fact that it runs entirely in-browser means you can save this webpage and work with an offline copy to generate QR codes forever – even if the site goes down:

QR code generators are mostly bad news, so this is great news.

I’m about to throw out some pieces from a book I finally started diving into titled Racism and Sexual Oppression in Anglo-America: A geneology, by Ladelle McWhorter.

I only hit the intro and I’m in a coffee shop about to scream “PREACH!!!”

How To Gut Democracy

Are you an aspiring dictator trying to destroy democracy from within? From Human Rights Watch.

This is a crisis and science communicators have been down this road before.

Science is inherently political, whether we recognize it or not. Telling politicians that oil and gas causes climate change is political, because oil and gas is political.

Saying that vaccines work is political, because vaccines became political.

Scientists must recognize that there's no such thing as political neutrality.

Scientists must recognize this and communicate in a way the recognizes how political their existence has become.

Scientists cannot sit on the sidelines. It's a political fight for survival. There is no neutrality
