No joke: I got angry hate mail today for writing an obituary of a Black woman scientist—because the person felt she did didn’t deserve the recognition.
Which just makes me want to share it again: www.nature.com/articles/d41...

She made key contributions to US cold-war science despite facing huge barriers as a Black woman.

In the UK all they talk about is the cost of treating ADHD, £0.2bn a year.
But they never talk about the £16bn cost of not treating it.

“The combined tuition fees of the entire Question Time panel would not cover my cost for 1 year of uni. Is that fair?”

It’s absolutely NOT fair. This outrageous scandal must end

The world seems quite divided at the moment between those of us who are panicking and those who seem determined not to. The latter may be suffering from normalcy bias. I wrote a Substack about it and the damage it does -

The reckoning white America needs to have with itself right now is huge
This is not a sudden catastrophe, unfathomable transformation from democracy to fascism
For many people, The US has been exactly what it is today from its very inception
That’s not a gotcha. It’s just a fact.

The more I watch this from Hannah Spencer, two things happen:
1. The more I like it and her.
2. The more it makes me want to get out and do what she says by volunteering.
... I'm surprisingly moved by 2, as I can physically feel it breaking through the armour of scepticism I've built around myself.

Devastating analysis. I had thought that the agent who removed Pretti’s gun negligently discharged it, the shot leading others to start shooting Pretti. Not even: they shot *after* disarming him. No shots were fired from Pretti’s gun. A cold-blooded execution.

Video: New Video Analysis Reveals Flawed and Fatal Decisions in Shooting of Pretti
A frame-by-frame assessment of actions by Alex Pretti and the two officers who fired 10 times shows how lethal force came to be used against a target who didn’t pose a threat.
