A step back for government transparency.
Your Friday afternoon executive order is up. This one allows public meetings to be held in person *without* providing remote access at the same time. Before even if you met in person you had to also allow phone/Zoom etc. governor.ri.gov/executive-or…

Congratulations to Angela Harris who was appointed Second Deputy Clerk tonight by the City Council. Angela is a tremendous asset to the Clerk’s office and we could not be happier to unanimously approve her appointment!

Hey I hear states are about to have huge holes blown through their budgets. I wonder if there’s any widely consumed good whose price is plummeting that’s also destroying our planet that could be taxed?? Here’s Oklahoma right now...

I should be qualified to comment on the covid-19 pandemic. I'm a computational/system biologist working on infectious diseases and have spent five years in a world class 'pandemic response modelling' unit. In this thread, I will summarise what I believe I (don't) know. (1/12)

4/ I tried to research how much it was going to cost for me to have a baby in the USA without insurance and it’s impossible to get an answer. (There’s a great Vox video about this titled, “Giving birth costs a lot. Hospitals won't tell you how much.”)

When was the last time you divided a polynomial? " Let’s put working out polynomial division using pencil and paper on the same ash heap as sock darning and shorthand." @joboaler and Steven D. Levitt argue that secondary math should focus on data science. youcubed.org/wp-content/uplo…

We’ve made the decision to stop all political advertising on Twitter globally. We believe political message reach should be earned, not bought. Why? A few reasons…🧵
