Garcia: They are, on one hand, putting names of survivors in these documents that are not redacted. And in these same documents, they're taking extra time and being extra careful to redact the names of the coconspirators

I still believe politics is about improving people’s lives.
I think a lot of the folks in Washington have forgotten that.
Let’s remind them that doing our best for people, not corporations, is what their work should be all about.

what's a bit of wisdom from a place you wouldn't expect that's stuck with you? I think of a line from a Crazy Ex-Girlfriend song,
"People aren't characters. They're complicated
And their choices don't always make sense" all the time.

When I hear "there's no gay romance" "m/m was created by women" "romance is for women" I think of the number of author bios in the back of "Best Gay Romance" books, or magazines, especially the 90s, ending with notations of when those authors died and I get so fucking angry I cannot even tell you.

Critical thinking is the most important skill gained in the process of become a researcher, in any field. I am not a historian, but it’s incredibly similar in the sciences. Knowing when and how much to trust a source, what the findings mean, what to do next…if you outsource this, why be a scientist?
A big part of being a historian is being a detective! Who did this? Why? Where? Why does it matter in the grand scheme of things? You have to learn how to probe, how to uncover, how to read against the grain, how to find unusual sources, how to interpret those sources. How to piece together a puzzle
It also robs students of learning *how* to research.

Actually let me add: we like to think machines and software will be free of bias and prejudice, but that's illusory. Machines are designed by humans (yep even the so called "AI") so machines are bound to replicate that bias and prejudice, *esp* if we're unaware of said bias.
Ok so
The headline is a bit misleading. AI shows racist bias in that psychiatric model (not surprising)
The slides issue is more complex--the AI detects markers that are correlated with race and then can't diagnose because it's been trained on too many white ppl (1/?)

Not to mention that comprehensive reading is a great way to learn what works and what doesn't, how to recognize craft and quality, genre conventions and when/how crossovers and inversions work, etc. And it all helps you know how to understand someone else's words.
That quantity vs quality argument when it comes to reading is bullshit.

A lot of Christian’s treat Bethlehem like it’s a fictional town that doesn’t exist in time and space.
An ugly example of this is when Canadian Christian nationalists went there and were disgusted that it had Palestinian in it. They went on video calling for a “crusade.”
