This is the COOLEST. A Google Earth-type representation of the planet. Every green dot is a radio station. Click any dot to listen in. It’s like cultural teleportation. You could spend hours with this thing… https://t.co/rdEHUUfgvk

@ariherzog @RepAndyVargas @livgust @lelandcheung @CodeForBoston @pahlkadot That may be true, but in the end, the City came around and has a great data program now. @livgust's app is awesome, and @CodeForBoston has been working with https://t.co/T52unkWxg8 on a similar project, but I don't think the issue is solely tech here... 1/x

1. Facebook has admitted that @benshapiro is breaking its rules.

Here's a piece of journalism trivia that seems topical right now: The skinny reporter's pad we all use was invented by Claude Sitton, who covered civil rights in the 1960s, because he needed to hide his notebooks to avoid being beaten up. https://t.co/jWwIyf20PK

In the current context we should strive to deepen our understanding on how AI is encoding hence perpetuating racism, deepening all sorts of inequalities & forms of discrimination.

Defunding the police sounds radical until you realize realize we’ve been defunding education for years.

[Michael Harriot @michaelharriot]

I had a professor who always talked about "the necessity of existence." Basically, some things should be created just so that thing will exist in the world.

So here's a thread to RT anytime some1 responds to #BlackLivesMatter with "but black on black crime" like this yahoo.

This is @evanyou's answer to those who demanded to remove the #BlackLivesMatter banner from https://t.co/GFmIoxaJDw saying it's "racist against non-black people." 👏👏👏

[Amaka Ubaka @AmakaUbakaTV]

😲 BLACK LIVES MATTER painted in giant yellow letters that spans two blocks of 16th St. which heads straight to the WH.

Each letter spans the width of the street. DC Mayor Muriel Bowser approved it. It comes ahead of a major protest tomorrow in DC. �

This is remarkable: NYU’s medical school is allowing students to graduate *now*, three months early, to become interns and join the fight against coronavirus. (Email via a tipster.)
