This post by @caseorganic is a must-read. A heads-up though that it's behind a paywall. I was sadly blocked from reading by just reloading the article.

I encourage everyone to publish blog posts on open platforms. Medium is not that anymore.😕
School teaches us to trust numbers as truth, which sets us up to disproportionately trust biased and skewed numbers that are either poorly reached, irrelevant or designed to influence us.
This is such an important post. And especially for me, as I do teach a two weeks course in ethics within design for a UX designer program. Thankfully, that amount of time does provide time for reflection on several of the issues that Alastair brings up. twitter.com/acuity_design/status/1…

@DorotheaBaur What I wouldn’t give to perform this study in the senate bathroom...
I’ve done plenty of observational studies in restrooms at the airport, restaurants and bars. The number of men, all ages, who just don’t wash their hands is mind-blowing. These are also not people you’d expect to understand the science behind climate change.
”People just wash their hands because that's what they see in films.”
Gah, I wish I hadn’t gone down this rabbit hole but @rodellaroficial did do the job of asking people WHY they don’t wash their hands:

@JesperBylund Exactly, I have relatively little experience in being vulnerable and taking risks.
This podcast episode about e-waste should be compulsory listening for everyone in tech. by @dsgntmrrw #digitalethics overcast.fm/+OX7RYdE3Y
Wow, I’m really struggling with a thread right now that became deeply personal. Just taking a moment to recognize that if a privileged individual like myself can have trouble speaking up, I can not even imagine the difficulty for marginalized and vulnerable individuals. TBC.
A story to follow. x.com/thenextweb/sta…
You’re all aware that navigation app @Waze allows people to alert each other of police presence, right?
This feels very much like a political decision by @Apple, although it now appears they have reversed the ban.

Wow. I’m glad I read this review before watching the film. One could argue it contains spoilers but reading it provided context that I definitely would have missed. Granted, enjoyment is easier in the dark, but I do prefer being an informed viewer. #JokerMovie twitter.com/adblanche/status/11803…

@rnadworny The similarities between the president of Ukraine and Trump is crazy. Old TV-star. Also the ties to Paul Manafort, Michael Cohen, Guiliani who is there quite often.
Did you watch The Family on Netflix?
The extent to which leaders of different countries will support each other to benefit each other, rather than benefit the people they are leading, is becoming so much more apparent to me these past few years and it's making me feel childishly naive.
This October 2nd episode of Trump, Inc. is wild. Why Ukraine?
