You need look no further than Reddit to see local residents discussing how shocking this is. It's an intersection any resident of Capitol Hill has crossed countless times. It's right outside a bunch of apartment buildings my friends & coworkers have lived in. It's a stressful place to walk or bike.

If a 27 year old woman was randomly killed on the streets of Capitol Hill by *anything* other than a motor vehicle it would be all over the front pages this morning. Cars are the thing that make me fear the most for my safety in this city and yet this is how the local paper of record responds.

Bizarre that a 27 year old woman was killed in the heart of the city last night and it isn't even above the fold on the Seattle Times website the following morning. The only story about it is a brief couple of paragraphs from last night. www.seattletimes.com/seattle-news...

The current person in charge of ICE's procurement for detention is a GEO Group executive who ran the company's immigration detention portfolio. He was granted an "ethics waiver" from DHS allowing him to hand out contracts to GEO in his new role.

It's easy to get clicks from telling everyone that stormtroopers are going to surround every polling station in America, but vital action now includes making sure: 1) Everyone is registered 2) they haven't been purged if they WERE registered 3) they know what ID they need 4) they can get that ID

This is what the state of Voter ID laws currently is. It's incoherent, every state has different rules, untangling them or giving generalized national advice is pointless. Most folks don't know the rules INSIDE their own state, much less in everyone else's! www.voteriders.org

Please read this thread!!! And if you are concerned about ICE being deployed for voter intimidation, find a local voting rights org who is already doing the work. Start with Vote Riders. States having weird/changing Voter ID laws is less flashy for scaring folks but it works real well.

And this is why antibiotic resistance is so scary. And why we need to find more sources for antibiotics.

Antibiotics are one of the greatest discoveries of the modern medical age (along with vaccines)

Historian of medicine here. Yes. Yes, they did.

but We Need Him. No one else on the left can code in Python

it is a transparently ideological project for people like jain and it's sort of hard to see it any other way

oh yeah this is the other thing, half of this being polled literally doesn't exist, its just hypotheticals made up to cast folks as evil. I'm reminded of the "litter boxes in schools" bullshit they also tied in with this.

C. maybe we [the dems] should put effort into shifting public opinion, instead of accepting the ongoing onslaught of republican efforts to demonize a small minority [i.e. trans folks] as a fait accompli, but what do I know i'm just one of those #$SLURS with skin in this game

a. there is def [growing] support among the public for restrictions on trans rights (e.g. www.pewresearch.org/short-reads/...) b. i'm sorry but I have a degree in poll design & fielding, and I trust lakshya's polling skills about as far as I can throw them.

Even this is a massive understatement of the actual costs, since all of those things require advance planning, paperwork, and (in some cases) scheduling document retrievals (often only possible during work hours). The cost doesn't have to be high in dollars to be a prohibitive tax on voters.

emerald fennel just seems like someone who doesn't realize she's a parody of herself

If you are worried about this scenario happening in your community, you should either become a poll worker or get started organizing a rapid response network or patrol. Have dozens of people descend on a polling station to blow whistles at or record ICE agents to make their lives miserable.

The bigger reality is creating a sense of fear, not that they’d be able to pull it off. I’m not sure how fearful people who can legally vote would be.

Some would argue (me) that this is the goal of men working in the tech industry: to create a world that is unsafe for women. This isn’t an accident. It’s the point. These men hate women and they don’t try to hide that fact.

now why is LaTeX adding a random column to my table. why is it doing that.

super awesome that alex is matching! the fundraiser has about $3,600 to go at time of posting!

And this was interestingly unanimous— and not being that well reflected yet in the offerings from actual Dem politicians. Word to the wise

Person who is loathed by everyone in this country but four billionaires: "here's what real people think"

OPINION: "Last Friday, 'an average Joe who grew up in Haddon Heights' named Joseph Zobel was at work when he saw a viral video from the nearby South Jersey town of Lindenwold that shocked the nation, and shocked him," writes columnist Will Bunch.

For the low price of feeding personal data like weight, body measurements, blood pressure, A1C counts, and all of your movement — and everything you eat — your employer can save $1000 by not paying for medications prescribed by your doctor.

There is no drawdown. There is no retreat. ICE is just redistributing their assets to better avoid accountability.

Now Region 6, gonna run some clock here… [pulls out bottle of Malört] Or maybe throw the dagger!

Aged care clinicians and carers say an algorithm-based assessment tool that determines federal home support funding packages is “cruel” and “inhumane”, stripping away clinical expertise and leaving elderly people with inadequate support www.theguardian.com/australia-ne...

He had a joke in his stump speeches about how, if he were to walk on water, the headlines the next day would read “Jesse Jackson Can’t Swim”

Plus, proprietary software like IMPLAN will then not be replicable. If you do the analyst in R or Python, or if you must use proprietary software in SAS or Stata, then you can save the code and allow others to replicate your work. 3/7

It’s not the first thing people will get worked up about , but it is really a problem for the federal government to lean into proprietary software like IMPLAN for its analyses. 1/7

It’s not clear how DHS arrived at the figures they did, but one thing is becoming clearer — this new focus on economic benefits of detention sites all stems from an “urgent” Feb. 4 purchase of IMPLAN economic modeling software the agency made for $129,000.

none of the old people i hate are dying!!!!!!

Jesse Jackson Jr. also had an under appreciated sense of comedic timing. Watch his fake sermon on SNL.😂

How many of the media outlets eulogizing Rev. Jesse Jackson today spent decades trying to undermine his work & turn him into a punchline?

Second row second column may not be coming back but if you want to meet some gals named Effie, I know where

I have a surefire prescription to save these names and it’s for the United States as a whole to get way more cool about trans people

It’s important to understand they were just people. Movements are made up of everyday people.

They're doing the same thing they did with Pizzagate where any instance of child sexual abuse anywhere "proved" it was real and they "broke" it by posting about actual journalists' coverage of it

Did they finally get around to testing “the dudes in my fraternity from 2003-2005” to reach this conclusion?

I can imagine many patients just worrying that they will piss off the doctor in the moment and say yes.

Hot take: The doctor shouldn't be the one asking if it's ok if she uses AI to take patient notes. The power differential + patient anxiety + short appointment times means the patient feels pressure to say yes. It should be a question asked during check-in. (I wish it wasn't used at all, but...)
