Republican officials in a rural Arizona county refused to certify the 2022 election ahead of the deadline amid pressure from prominent Republicans to reject a vote count that had Democrats winning for U.S. Senate, governor and other statewide races. https://t.co/HldZh1yJWe

Fred Brooks was the author of "The Mythical Man Month" a book that was hugely influential on so many of us. Also his paper "No Silver Bullet" would be on most people's shortlist of most influential papers.

Nowhere in the laws of physics is it required that a commit, push, or PR can only be for a fully completed feature. Some people made that up, and it is likely not a good choice for your org.

[Chris Murphy 🟧 @ChrisMurphyCT]

Let’s be 100% clear. If Republicans win control of the House, Senate and White House two years from now, they will pass a national abortion ban. And no matter where you live, no matter how pro-choice your state is, women and doctors will be locked up for practicing health care.

[ACLU @ACLU]

No matter what the courts say, no one should be forced to carry a pregnancy against their will.

We need a world where abortion is legal, available and accessible to ALL. It’s never been our reality, but it can be.

Abortion is our right. We’ll never stop fighting for it.

Some re-orgs are necessary, but perhaps more often re-orgs are a sport that companies have agreed senior leaders can play when they don’t actually know what they should do but they want to think (and show!) that *something* is being done.

Republicans in Oklahoma's legislature have passed a bill that would ban nearly all abortions.

The bill makes an exception only for an abortion performed to save the life of the mother. https://t.co/C5Einy0U57

What if the real problem is that many of us are solving for the wrong questions?
Like: "How do we get people back in the office?" vs "“How do we attract/retain talent by ensuring work regardless of where it is done enables growth, purpose and meaning?”

India has seen a rapid deployment of Facial Recognition Systems, without putting in place any law to regulate their use. The unabated use of FRS without any legal framework is leading to a ‘function creep’, say experts, citing the example of #DelhiPolice.

When people think about recycling, they imagine turning trash into something else. But that's not what's happening with a lot of plastics. Recycling is a commodities market—it's about whether someone wants to buy that item or not. @cgbooker reports:

Repeat it with us: Coded bias is a not data problem just like police violence isn't just because of "one bad apple".

Our institutions are encoded with systemic racism and often exploit Black and Brown bodies to thrive.

Warnock saying it's a contradiction to protect minority rights in the Senate while denying minority voting rights in society.
