My life serves the clarity of vision that comes of waking from somnambulation into a dream. #Art created #naturally through #line, #light and #color.

Is there a word for "the last peak before decline?"

Like "apotheosis" (top) + "nadir" (bottom).

We see the most extreme form of a thing before it collapses.

To all those having trouble saying it. Black Lives Matter. See, it really isn’t that difficult.

The year is 20xx. Fast trains connect most of the world's largest cities. There are no borders and fares are free. Where do you go?

Sing it with me!
Loud and clear!
This land is our land.
Thank you to the immortal @sharonjones - a true voice of my heart.
Freedom is truth. Freedom is accountability. Freedom is right action.
Honor the land and all peoples, and we'll be truly free.

[Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez @AOC]

Just when we caught a glimpse of justice for Botham Jean, much of it feels stolen back with the murder of Joshua Brown, a key witness in the case.

My heart breaks for his family and for everyone touched by this tragedy. We must get to the bottom of this injustice.

“You’re telling me there’s evidence that you have a serial molester of underage girls and that allowing him one year in a local jail on work release every day is a reasonable deal? That’s absurd." https://t.co/qZiqlUJSCq

Wow, sixty Amazon warehouse workers—mostly East African women—in Egan, Minnesota went on strike last night over part-time work and wages. I spoke to one of the organizers about the strike: https://t.co/ndE5hopZ0K

Google needs more images of dark-skinned people for its #facialRecognition. And its contractors may be using some questionable methods, “including targeting groups of #homeless people and tricking college students who didn’t know they were being recorded.” https://t.co/7tAz5yWOdB

Excited to launch this new investigation w @trevorpaglen - to be read alongside ImageNet Roulette. It's about how training data works, the costs of classification, and why "removing bias" or "increasing diversity of data" isn't enough 👁️ https://t.co/GFqZvTXuzC

Frankly, the process of machine learning is quite basic. But it pretty much runs the world. https://t.co/GnJt8AYywh

I made $26,000 in Colorado Springs (market #89) in my first (and last) local TV job.

I often gave plasma to afford groceries and gas.

The pay in local journalism is ABYSMAL and has been for years and this @CJR story is a great look at that.

Intriguing artwork by Alesya Matziush: is it Nature prevailing on pollution?

Total student loan debt: $1.6T

Total cost of the 2017 Republican tax cuts: $1.9T

Funny how Trump and Republicans can up with the money to give corporations and billionaires massive tax cuts, but call cancelling student debt radical.

[Neil deGrasse Tyson @neiltyson]

Solar Eclipses are one of Nature’s great spectacles: The Sun is 400x wider than the Moon and 400x farther away, making them the same size on the sky -- endowing Earth with the most badass eclipses in the Solar System.

[Neil deGrasse Tyson @neiltyson]

The Universe contains more electromagnetic vibrations — colors — than we will ever see, but they nonetheless permeate space & time, and occasionally, if we are open to them, our hearts.
