Thank you @SteveKerr for your passionate plea to Congress regarding gun reform. Are you willing to take the lead on getting NBA teams to boycott until the U.S. Senate votes on gun control? https://t.co/WayesmjADO

Here is my full statement about my decision to decline tenure at UNC Chapel Hill and instead accept the inaugural Knight Chair in Race and Reporting at @HowardU.

@awoodruff I haven't been on Twitter in a while and came on specifically to get the hot take on this

@Notaspellingbe1 I mean, I know it's a proper noun, but c'mon!

[Robin Tolochko @tolomaps]

@agentdana I know!!!! Was just complaining about this to my husband

My latest coping mechanism is that I've been teaching myself ukulele, and this video I stumbled upon makes me feel so grateful for the wonderfulness of humanity to create beauty and come together for no reason other than it feels good https://t.co/7rdj8GsNH9

@LaytonEWilliams Kind of a different spin on your question, but my dad always wears glasses and as I kid I very much remember being annoyed when he would take them off for photos because I thought he didn't look like him without them. Agree with everyone else who's telling you to trust your gut!

The Pfizer and Modena vaccines were both effective, protective and safe. But the Oxford one seems to be effective, protective, and safe.

@_cingraham @tierneyl @LoisParshley Out of curiosity, is it too late to change the online version of the map? It shouldn't be too hard to just shift the break points in the legend...

[Robin Tolochko @tolomaps]

Such good points about interpreting maps in general (and covid risk specifically). Thoughts on this @tierneyl?

[Lois Parshley @LoisParshley]

Reporting on Covid-19 data is really complicated and there are so many metrics to consider. But I'm worried this @washingtonpost map will be misinterpreted. The lightest color on this heat map represents a 0-20 % chance of someone in a group of 10 being +.

[Robin Tolochko @tolomaps]

@_cingraham @tierneyl @LoisParshley Thanks for your thoughtful response, I appreciate you reflecting on your process. I think your point about differentiation across the range is spot on; in this case probably better to *not* optimize for that to indicate the high risk is widespread

It’s clear Trump is not going to concede anytime soon, so we thought we’d do it for him…

@xander76 I won't be breathing a sigh of relief until January 20...

Feeling such pride today for my home state of Georgia 💙💙💙

We need to talk a lot less about red and blue.
We need to talk a lot more about whiteness.

@lyzidiamond I mean, can someone please tell all these news outlets to do color-by-alpha

[Lois Parshley @LoisParshley]

For many, many infected people, #COVID19 doesn't just "go away." The mortality rate fails to capture the full tragedy of this pandemic. #Debates2020 #LongCovid
