Hundreds Of Dead Puffins Are Mysteriously Washing Ashore In Alaska

Awww…puffins so cutes 🙁 More mass animal deaths. Not all of them are climate related, though that’s what everybody (even me sometimes) just assumes. None the less, it’s still very much like something out of a horror movie.
PLOT SUMMARY: Dead puffins: Must mean Damien is all grown up and coming back to possess the Whitehouse. Nah..that could NEVER happen in REAL life. #Trump666 lolz i think they did that one anyway, right?

Twitter CEO Jack Dorsey says a white-supremacy ad the company showed users was a ‘mistake’

Best case against censorship ever: You never have to apologize for NOT censoring something SOMEONE felt was objectionable.
It’s so much easier to give users the tools to block what they don’t want to see…then it’s THEIR fault if they see something they don’t want to see…or NOT see something they WANTED to see because it was CENSORED.

Twitter should not have to apologize for something that someone else published using their network. Their responsibility should stop RIGHT AFTER they give users the tools to see what they want, when they want.
Respectfully, recode…it’s NOT Twitter’s fucking job to stop hate speech.

Police are using software to predict crime. Is it a ‘holy grail’ or biased against minorities?

I have not reviewed the code (nor do i anticipate having the opportunity to do so any time soon), but I would state with 99% certainty that any system designed to
“predict” future crimes based on historic data, would be biased. Most of the people in jail are people of color, so most of the “suspects” of any system based on past crime data would be people of color. This one gets a big huge #DUH.
