@Ebonyteach If anyone is looking for a good read on how current laws support practices that further inequities, I recommend The Color of Law: A Forgotten History of How Our Government Segregated America by Richard Rothstein. Sounds like a history book, but makes the connection to today.

@Suw Since I owe you for all the Ada Lovelace resources my daughter is using (and properly citing) for a math book report, here’s an especially cute picture…

I have to do another afternoon of biz accounts, and it's sooooo boooooriiiiiiing and I donwanna. If I do another 1.5 hours, will all y'all send me cute pictures of cats?

doomscrolling? In 2022? In this economy?

My mom grew up picking cotton in the 1950s. Yesterday, she waited in line to once again pick her son to represent Georgia in the U.S. Senate. We’ve come a long way, but the work isn’t done! Please vote, Georgia 🗳

@ReporterOG I believe you meant to tag @NDRinfo instead of me.

#Russland: "Es geht darum, im Ausland eine Gegenöffentlichkeit zu schaffen und da insbesondere die Unzufriedenen anzusprechen." - Die Politologin Susanne Spahn spricht im Interview mit @nrd über die Ziele der russischen Staatsmedien im Ausland. ndr.de/nachrichten/in…

Today the NIH announced the launch of makemytestcount.org, the first national website for Americans to self-report at-home COVID-19 test results. These data will be shared with local public health systems and researchers.

I’m a few chapters in to @MaryRobinette’s The Spare Man and very much enjoying how it is unfolding.

Looking at other platforms. Mastodon doesn’t quite do what I want. Interested in Post. post.news/?r=Pe0DR

Now this is a great headline.

This. Bringing guns to “guard” a voting box is one piece of a larger, very disturbing puzzle. And I feel obliged to point out that it’s a preschool-level puzzle and we can all clearly see the end picture. So maybe let’s treat all of this with some sense of urgency?

@pickoffwhite @dansinker Me, too!

@dansinker I really want those posters now.

I am the very center of this particular venn diagram.

@NaomiKritzer This is a pretty good summary of what I look for to determine how long corn has been sitting around: tasteofhome.com/article/how-to…

Is there a trick to knowing which corn vendors at the farmer's market are actually selling fresh sweet corn that will taste right vs the people pawning off stuff that is days old and will taste like the crappy corn from the grocery store?

But beyond that, did you skip the part about the importance of faces? Just reading too fast or did you dismiss it because “female character, pffft”? Because that *is* the critical bit if you’re insisting on heading this direction. And the Meta faces…*eye roll*

First, not a great future. Is that really the goal? Really? (Okay, I can actually see some at Meta saying, “Yeah! Meta Franchise, sign me up!” So, there’s that.)

Every time I see a sample of Meta, all I can think is, “Did you actually *read* Snow Crash? Really pay attention? Because you seem to have missed some key plot points.”

Oooooh! Nice job, Apple.

@WarriorCare This is such an important resource, I want to make sure credit and questions go to the right place @NRDgov — thank you for supporting our service members and their families

Chapter 3 of the latest DoD Compensation & Benefits Handbook has a wide variety of resources available just for military families and caregivers, and all sources have been vetted through the @NRD! Check out (and download) the #DoDCBHandbook today 🌐 bit.ly/3ylpwnL

A lot of my friends have just stopped talking to me because they feel guilty talking about their lives while my whole social life, apart from work, has been on hold since March 2020. And that's a whole extra thing to grieve about. 1/7

@ddribin Oh, the irony… 🤣❤️
