The reason careless errors like this are important is because, as science and technology scholars teach us, tech is not created in a social vacuum. It is built within, and often reifies, power structures. By ignoring that lesson, we keep those power structures in place https://t.co/zMLeLb44MQ

A Jewish teaching says those who die just before the Jewish new year are the ones God has held back until the last moment bc they were needed most & were the most righteous. And so it was that #RBG died as the sun was setting last night marking the beginning of RoshHashanah

It didn't really highlight the work that Cathy O'Neil or Shoshana Zuboff have been doing NOR addresses what THEY'VE considered as solutions - only this super damaged notion of "reform" that historically not only doesn't work but allows these platforms to thrive.

A very important point to consider. I need to create a feed of some of these people to follow. I have one called Weapons of Math Destruction that’s pretty close to this, and focused on artificial intelligence, algorithms, and ethics.
With heavy fire activity expected, fire crews will continue increasing containment lines along the south end of the Bobcat Fire and conduct structure protection planning in the foothill communities. For more info visit inciweb at: https://t.co/TTuONDlvrR #BobcatFireTwo pic.twitter.com/ybpO7xQGHl

Hooray!
Happy Coptic new year. Today we start the year 1737 A.M. (Anno Martyrum "Year of the Martyrs"). The Coptic calendar is that of the Pharaohs with a minor reform, but starts in the year 284, the year Diocletian, the greatest persecutor of the church, became emperor

It's fairly often that I see a tweet that sums to something like "I find <prevalent concept> super hard" or "everybody's bad at <prevalent concept>, nobody really gets it" and I think it's worth discussing who and what this serves to accomplish

This, but also and specifically for mathematics! We need to normalize the idea that math is easy.

I love the bridge that book formats like this can provide in learning new languages. Reminds me a bit of some of the Folger Shakespeare annotated plays that helped to define words, terms, and culture that have changed significantly since they were written.
How does one find more of these?

For those looking for #BobcatFire maps that include Pasadena and Altadena evacuation warnings, it's above Sierra Madre Blvd/Woodbury. https://t.co/qYFQ4VLier

This seems to be the first official resource with details about the evacuation warning. Sad that none of the local news, fire, or government sources on Twitter have got this sooner.
Event the local Altadena Sheriff’s station had little detail on a phone call. (I’m sure they got swamped.)

Congratulations! The only thing more exciting than the first copy is when the 5 star reviews start to roll in, and then the world starts to change because of your words.
I think I’m now up to 3 copies on pre-order. A friend slipped me an advanced reader copy, and I’m already into chapter 3. It’s awesome!
Can’t wait to see you at the launch party!
