My SparkNotes version of the policy highlights of the 131-page bill (and no, I didn't come close to scratching the surface)--> #ncpol

This ad contains disinformation about the 2020 election and Meagan Wolfe’s role as @WI_Elections commisioner, which I’ve already debunked for @PolitiFactWisc + @journalsentinel: https://t.co/XS0qjQ0C5X

A new congressional map takes North Carolina from having one of the fairest voting maps in the country to its most biased — and voters of color are among the big victims. https://t.co/MB8UzOMd2g

Great hack; a community kitchen shouldn’t have to work so hard to circumvent bad policy, though.

I love creative tech, cultivating community, and giving talks. This past year I've been building AI apps and threw several creative tech events, incl. a hackathon at OpenAI and AI Show & Tell at NFX.

Looking for a full time role, and interested in starting convos. Please share!

The front page of tomorrow's @dailytarheel –

I shed many tears while typing up these heart-wrenching text messages sent and received by UNC students yesterday. Our campus was on lockdown for more than three hours.

Beyond proud of this cover and the team behind it.

[Kathryn Peters @katyetc]

Yesterday was an anxious hell.

But in the spirit of looking for helpers, I’m grateful to the students who shared chargers, colleagues who teamed up to secure doors, the campus Y employee who advised on exit routes and secure closets.

Let’s never #unclockdown together again.

Election integrity researchers are facing unprecedented obstacles, including threats to their personal safety. They deserve to be better protected.
The latest from me and @MarechalPhD @CenDemTech. (We'll have much more on this topic soon...)

What NOT to do in election reporting.

Providing accurate information is one aspect of good reporting. But especially around elections, good journalism MUST provide context and connect experts and explainers to their audiences.

The alternative is to become conspiracy fodder.

1. 🧵How 1 reporter started a MAGA panic over voting in Ohio yesterday

It began with a video tweet, wherein a reporter declared, "ALL ballot scanners are down & not working at Cuyahoga Falls polling location." https://t.co/i2oB8dqpiy

[Esther Dyson @edyson]

Let's make sure every voter can cast their ballot in the next election!
I just ordered a free, nonpartisan voter badge from @vot_er_org so I can offer community members the opportunity to register to vote or view their ballot conveniently. Get yours ⤵️ https://t.co/ENkzgmuYXg

What an amazing bunch of researchers @unc_citap gets to collaborate with this coming year!

A self-fulfilling prophecy...states say they're leaving ERIC because other states are leaving ERIC.

“As fewer states are participating, the costs are increasing and the amount of data we’re going to receive will be reduced,” Pierce said. https://t.co/xNUfJEW3Nl
