1) Facial recognition sucks at telling apart BIPOC faces, causing false arrests.
2) Brown don't frown/Black don't crack/Asian don't raisin is a hurdle. Facial recognition sucks at BIPOC ages.
3) ID scans also expect a specific format and throw a fit at foreign passports.

Two days ago, my friend and I were talking about how FIRST LEGO League is all-consuming — like hockey. But at least there's no toxic bullying/sexual abuse/cover up scandals, we said. Those robotic nerds?!?!, we laughed.
WE SPOKE TOO SOON.

Prominent inventor and youth organization founder based in the northeastern United States found in the latest compendium. Why am I disappointed?
It's like believing in Santa Claus to expect such a figure to not be in there...

Shit, I learned something new about multi year funding and the seriousness of it. As I suspected, it's like buying an entire car without a loan. Then you won't have money at that moment to get food, housing, clothes...
So you balk at getting the car and all the other things.

🧪IMPORTANT! This graphic explains how science all over the US is funded. Congress approved a 2% increase in the #NIH budget for FY 26.
Buried in the bill-
Shift of ~40% of grants to MYF. This will still result in a 35% DECREASE in the NUMBER of grants funded per yr.
Russel Vought is behind this.

South Asian take on autistic Barbie:
Her features were modeled on South Asian women... but I don't know if she's supposed to be South Asian.
Pros: she helps dispel the idea that autism is a "white person thing"
Cons: Is her South Asianness just in her features?

The HHS Bill and the Defense Spending bill are the big appropriations bills. Democrats are using Defense as leverage with Republicans. HHS will be the real test for trans people.
Incredibly important: they're most likely to put anti-trans bullshit in the HHS approps bill, we don't yet have that leg text yet.
Keep the pressure up.

My favorite thing to do with PCs with Apple stickers on them: ask if it sufficed as a protective sigil against Crowdstrike
Been in the belly of the IT beast for over 12 hours so I'm trying to entertain myself as I get info to the effect of "Nope, not the mouth, you're in the cecum!"

Allow me to connect some dots for you:
Too much of the world currently relies for its basic functions on resources which must be continuously extracted. You burn that oil one time and oops, now you need more.
Geopolitical horrors are, in fact, one of the reasons we need to move to renewables ASAP.
