Flow charts of who talks to who, who was seen by whom and little is said about what was said at those meetings. Or public events. Or if the nature of the “discussion” was an attempt to understand another or just pure propaganda.
That same woman begged for “feminism” in the code.
We need more activism as code. We need more feminism in code. I want *these* politics in my code.

Do you think a woman who became a renowned public speaker had any influence at Google and Youtube over how their algorithm was coded?
Brianna Wu has spent years asking Google to put “trusted sources” into the code.
Tech platforms, including Facebook Google and Bing, treat something a troll writes exactly the same as something vetted by a journalist at a reputable publication.
Tech platforms bear a HUGE amount of responsibility on this. It’a why none of us can agree on any common reality.
Important to note: Google’s algorithm issues are congenital on YouTube, where young children are getting radicalized by the fringe right. https://t.co/pjFopmM3OV
The Alt-Right is very successful at using bots to manipulate public opinion like this. It also manipulates Google/YouTube results. https://t.co/wj0K3mJbqA
I’ve worked with your Trust and Safety department since 2014. I know @twitter is working hard and doesn’t get the credit you deserve. And I know it’s tempting to tune out critique.
But, I implore you to consider what your legacy will be if Trump starts a nuclear war
Hey all!! I'm excited to share my new @datasociety report. The tldr: a giant network of influencers on YouTube is broadcasting reactionary ideas to young viewers – and radicalizing them in the process. https://t.co/jvDUyiHjNK
How do you deal with data scientists that not only rely on biased algorithms and API data but falsify facts?
How to measure the harm to a self employed journalist who the Left appears to be trying to silence? Tim Pool relies on Youtube monetization for his living.
Congress needs to heavily regulate these monoliths. And investigate them for Antitrust violations. CDA 230 needs to be repealed and social media held accountable for the falsehoods their ‘data” enables and their platforms spread by accounts they allow to exist.
In short, social media companies need to have the same risks and responsibilities everyone else int he United States. They have abused their privilege of immunity and have abused others Civil Rights in doing so.
The Arts & Sciences are profoundly important to a decent education however arts and science have been decimated in public schools.
Indeed, the US is no longer the number one place to receive an education according to one study, having slipped to 16 in the share of degree attainment of young adults according to the Washington Post.
President Trump plans to cut the budget for arts, planning to adopt the Heritage Foundation’s “skinny budget” according to report byFortune Magazine.
This would be a travesty at a time when educational attainment and science and math scores are slipping.
Music and the arts teach critical thinking and are intrinsically linked to math and science due to the critical thinking skills that music & arts teaches and requires.
The education Fresno Unified School District provided to my friends and I was topnotch, 2 magnet schools, Holland Project TALENT (now Bullard) and Roosevelt High School.
I can only tell you that our school did very well in Academic Decathalon, finishing second in CA my Senior year (my friends from junior high and high school were core of team, coached by legendary Dave Sischo) and of course anyone probably knows Audra has won the most Tony’sever.
To gut funding for the Arts & Sciences damages the funding for Roosevelt High School Performing Arts programs. Roosevelt is an inner city school (yup) which was actually bussed INTO my freshman year for desegregation.
I have been lucky to have talked to 2 Medal of Honor winners in my lifetime. Greg “Pappy” Boyington (who lived in Sunnyside behind a friends house) and General Chuck Yeager.
I only know General Yeager through twitter, however the joy I experience in talking to General Yeager is matched by the music in a symphony.
No music. No NASA. No Magic Carpet Rides. Simple as that.
I would remiss to point out that NASA is as unconstitutional as the National Endowment of the Arts, if we are going to get technical.
Quite frankly I think federal funding through Dept of Education should be used to balance out inequities between funding levels in school districts and to ensure that arts and sciences are taught at a high level as a priority.
That, and make sure kids aren’t hungry so they can learn.
The “Gamergate” controversy has roiled twitter for coming up on 2 years.
Amazingly enough the most sustainably abusive person in Gamergate is Randi Lee Harper.
She’s managed to become an “anti abuse expert” while telling people to light themselves on fire, fuck off, “get fucked” in endless supply.
I can only imagine it’s because she has inside contacts with Twitter (@safety) and openly boasts about them.
Not only does she boast about them, she brags that she knows what is best for you whether you like it or not, and they can make these suggestions.
Often when I read through various accounts that are linked to Gamergate, however tenuously I cannot believe I am in America.
It’s Orewellian.
And it’s a high school soap opera once you realize that everyone on that page is a public person (at least now) and receives threats from the weirdos that inhabit the internet in endless amounts.
I myself have also received threats.
I funny understand that women perceive threats differently, but still some caution must be taken to make sure the threats are credible threats to yourself.
Quite frankly Randi Lee Harper openly advocates violence, hatred and is the most abusive person I have ever seen on the internet.
I have no idea why @Jack turned her and her mob loose on consumers.
And the lynch mob that Randi Lee Harper command set in. As Jesse knew it would.
The “Lynchmob” (racist reference) of course operates exactly how Vijaya Gadde wrote in her Washington Post Op Ed, but if you are Randi, the Terms of Service seems to be inoperative.
Yet if you are a gamer, tweeting to a hashtag on @twitter which Twitter allows, #gamergate, you are labeled as a member of a hate group equivalent to ISIS.
Personally I think allowing a few loud customers to label 44% of consumers worldwide as a member of a hate group is abusive in the extreme.
I have no doubt this active hate of consumers is well known worldwide, and is leading to a massive loss in popularity, growth, and a corresponding lowering of stock price and destruction of investors capital.
Concerned about the effect of copper and other heavy metals on ocean life?
Gone are the days of wooden ships and iron men and heaving the trash overboard to lie in the wake of the underway ship.
University of Pittsburgh PH.D’s are developing a non toxic coating to be applied to ships to replace copper to stop barnacle growth on ships.
Now if they simply combine it with sound absorbing technology perhaps we will have a stealth aircraft carrier to rule the seas with in the near future.
Go Navy! Saving marine life around the world while keeping the sea lanes safe for travel!
