We see you, @NASAArtemis 1. 👀 Take a look at the roll out of @NASA’s #Artemis 1 moon rocket back to its launch pad at #CapeCanaveral. #geoint

whenever you start a D&D group you get 3 relatively normal fantasy characters and one person who submits a 18 page dossier about a dwarven mermaid who only emerges from the sea once a century to drag fishermen screaming down to a watery grave and who has no interest in adventures

I want to very explicitly say that there is absolutely no contribution you can make to science, no number of people you can train, that makes your sexual harassment OK

motivational posters: "bloom where you are planted!!!" actual plants: "if you don't meet my very specific light, water, fertilizer, humidity, and soil pH requirements I am not👏doing 👏shit👏!!!"

A few tips for working with data analysts - if you need some data, just ask quickly over slack right before your deadline. - if the data doesn’t seem right, simply say “this doesn’t seem right. Can you re-pull?” - even if you may never need the data again, ask for a dashbaord

This is the real danger of “AI”: that even when it’s pure snake oil, there will be a tech hype machine eager to foist half-baked nonsense onto the world. Normal humans & policymakers are easily dazzled by aesthetics of the presentation, and can’t begin to question the substance.

A Jewish Zionist mob lynches a helpless Palestinian-Israeli citizen in a mass expression of hatful racism. Like many Palestinian- My family in Haifa, Jerusalem & Acre tell me it’s open season against them: they are hunted down, based on their race/religion.

John Oliver called it what it is last night: Apartheid. During the opening segment of his show last night, John accused Israel of committing a"war crime" and explained why the fighting couldn't be described as equal or fair. #Palestine #savesheikhjarrah #GazaUnderAttack

The devastation in Gaza is unconscionable. We must urge an immediate ceasefire. The killing of Palestinians and Israelis must end. We must also take a hard look at nearly $4 billion a year in military aid to Israel. It is illegal for U.S. aid to support human rights violations.

Thinking about how Zoom put my best friend through an 8 round interview process just to tell her she didn't get the job. No company should ever do that.

I am extremely concerned by the growing conflict in Israel and Palestine. Once again we are seeing how the irresponsible actions of government-allied right-wing extremists in Jerusalem can escalate quickly into devastating war.

1500 Palestinians face expulsion in #Jerusalem. 200 protesters have been injured. 9 children have been killed. Sanctions on South Africa helped free its black people - it’s time for sanctions on Israel to free Palestinians. Join the call. #SheikhJarrah secure.avaaz.org/campaign/en…
