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...

Gladys Mae West obituary: mathematician who pioneered GPS technology
She made key contributions to US cold-war science despite facing huge barriers as a Black woman.

A manual for ICE's immigrant-targeting computer system, Palantir ELITE, was leaked today.
Let's look at it, then step back to evaluate how far we've come along a dangerous road and where that road might take us. 🧵

Here is the User Guide for ELITE, the Tool Palantir Made for ICE
404 Media is publishing a version of the user guide for ELITE, which lets ICE bring up dossiers on individual people and provides a “confidence score” of their address.

Really good read. I love it when a DM starts to incorporate data analytics into DnD!
Been going down the rabbit hole of high level (Tier 3) large party (8 PCs) encounter design in 5e 2024, and I am struck by how broken it is. The guidance in most recent rules is at best ball-park but really leads to unenjoyable encounters in that you are either into very swingy all-or-nothing (1/9)

ICE is beyond reform. And today the House is voting to bankroll more terror. Hell no.

This guy went to work today, put a mask on, kidnapped a 5 year old child, and then used him as bait so both he and his father could be sent behind bars

I've received a few donations already, words can't express how I feel about the generosity. The help is tremendous, but reality is, I still need help and likely have to keep this going.
So, please, even if you can't donate, please share.

Mr Cuban,
I just wanted to quickly thank you. My husband has XXXX cancer, a rare gastrointestinal cancer. We are between insurance right now and when we went to pick it up we were informed it was $29,000. We were able to get it from CostPlus for $990. Thank you for saving my husband's life.

We’d like to share a remembrance for Betty Reid Soskin, the oldest serving National Park Service ranger in the country, who has passed away. Her life and work helped preserve history, expand whose stories are told, and inspire generations to come.
