When people who don't understand data collection and use, and data governance meet analytical tools with known problems and real but limited promise.

@donmoyn.bsky.social at the intersection of academic research on policy and governance and analysis of current political malfeasance.

Hillary for the win.

Recovering from finding a rat in our basement toilet. Yes, I know it's not an uncommon occurrence. I do not recommend it as an experience.

If the FiFA scandal starts a global backlash against men acting unaccountably and with impunity, it would be an appropriate use of a crisis. I can offer a list of malignant leaders and their claques to apply it to next.

Read the entire thread. The team investigating Epstein have done the work. This hopefully will lead to hearings, indictments, prosecutions, and convictions. Thanks you @wyden.senate.gov and team.

You know what sucks? There's money readily available for the rapid construction of data centers in the US. But we can't find resources for good rail systems, rebuilding and upgrading water systems, and renewable and sustainable energy generation and efficient transmission. I wonder why? /snark

If you're keeping track, the destruction by fire of hundreds of structures in Spokane follows the 2025 fires in Southern California in which fires, enhanced by climate change, affected and disrupted the lives of millions of people. This is the beginning and not the end of urban wildfires.

This is not radical. This is good governance protecting the interests of a community and its members from all types of risks and addressing issues causing harm.

It was only a matter of time. Jerusalem has always been the logical flashpoint for religious conflict between Israeli Jews and Muslims from the Arab nations and beyond. If there are steady hands and cool heads this can be mitigated if not resolved. If not, well, good luck to all of us.

Just a reminder that "Poors" and "Non-Playing Characters" are modern forms of abusive and prejudicial language that we've worked to make unacceptable.

The majority of benefit fraud is perpetrated by the payers, not the recipients of the benefits. This is intentional cruelty and abuse against people without power and influence who already are vulnerable.

When did public education stop teaching "The Emperor's New Clothes?" Because credulity and fealty are an ugly combination when you're dealing with abusive, malignant narcissists.

Regardless of how this "crisis" originated, the far right' use of it as agitprop is egregious and won't stop.

Believe the women.

My list of "Now do <insert name here>" is long and spans a number of countries and sectors.

I'm an hour into roasting this. Every time I make this the smell of the marinated roast pork makes me start to salivate hours before it's done. It really is meat candy. Tim Chin's recipe development and instructions are fantastic.

I can't help thinking that the global furor about FIFA's privatization plan *and* the bizarre and tragic situation involving people moving across a national border between Morocco and Spain are both reflections of people and organizations acting without thought and due diligence, and in bad faith.
