Still playing the “let me guess where my daughter is now” game.
(Yes, I figured it out, although the Petra GPS put it in israel for some reason)
I’m Kee Hinckley (he/his). That’s my wife Mollie Pepper on the right. I’m a senior software architect at TiVo Corp (I get the metadata from point A to point B) with a BA in Anthropology. Mollie’s a sociologist with a couple Masters and a PhD on the way; she specializes in borders, gender, and violence. I have two kickass daughters. Shireen Hinckley is a film editor and documentarian currently working on a movie on refugee resettlement, Home Is Where the War Is. Shadi Fotouhi is a QA automation expert at Wayfair (and formerly at robotics firm Jibo), and an amazing artist.
We can all sit here and say, "it's okay, they can't actually do that."
But they *want* to. And if you think Trump won't find a way to track down people he doesn't like, you're dreaming.
We're still pretending this is a democracy. It's not, and it's getting worse every day.
There’s plenty in this Trump draft EO that should cause concern, but this particular piece leaps out:
“The (Attorney General’s) working group will also monitor or create watch-lists of users based on their interactions with content or other users.” https://www.reuters.com/article/us-twitter-trump-executive-order-social-idUSKBN2340MW
So did anyone else get a text like this?
"The US Census Bureau needs your help to understand coronavirus impact. https://covid.census.gov/...longtrackingurl Reply STOP to cancel"
TFW your read an email and the question makes sense, but the assumptions behind it are like, WTF?
I can't answer this, I need to undo all the underlying assumptions first.
Wow—vile anti-union tactics. USF is threatening to lay off ALL assistant professors to try to extract concessions from the faculty union, while not being transparent about actual finances. This isn’t a necessity: it’s a power play—using a disaster to reopen contract negotiations. https://twitter.com/scrivenix/status/1266127110088740864
Wow, this is dire. Librarians and tenure-track faculty under threat at USF. cc @histoftech h/t @tamigraph https://twitter.com/SFFoghorn/status/1266121177795383302
