I knew it. Kyle Rittenhouse is proof that white people can still break the law, carry illegal weapons, shoot and kill people, and get away with it in America by shedding tears and claiming self-defense.

To fight Zoom fatigue, give people the freedom to turn their cameras off.
New experiment: videos off reduces exhaustion and boosts engagement—especially for women and newcomers.
Cameras off doesn't reflect disengagement. It helps to prevent burnout and promote attention.

Every department should have a faculty meeting focused specifically on what worked with remote learning and how to move forward. Remote learning was more accessible for many disabled folks & we need to act on this.

A note about #accessibility and #ableism in learning environments. A thread 🧵
I've had many professors say they deliberately don't share class notes, or refuse to put slides online so that students can review them in their own time. This is a problem 1/

When I was about to start looking for potential advisors for my PhD, I sat down to think about what I wanted in a graduate experience, lab, and advisor and what I valued.
I asked advisors the following questions before deciding whether to rotate and/or join:

The number of ML papers I've graded this week that suggest having more samples in the Titanic survivors dataset as a way to improve performance of the algorithms is driving me insane

A half million people in Oregon evacuate as wildfires rage. Over 3 million acres in California burned. The western sky is red. An 800-mile derecho destroyed towns in Iowa. The Arctic topped 100 degrees.
The Green New Deal has been called "expensive."
Compared to what?

In a dictatorship, the state media tells you the sky is green. In a failing democracy, the free press tells you that one candidate says the sky is blue and the other candidate says the sky is green, without mentioning which is correct. xitter.gq/JeffreyGoldberg/status…
Just wondering if one version of reality is more real than the other? But who can say, really?
