It’s rare that I find a tool that does exactly what I thought I’d have to hack together a solution for. Can’t find who’s behind it, would love to give them kudos.

Yeah I’d really like to see some sort of systemic reform to prevent this. Really sucks how innovators have to pay this “toll” (to the trolls under the bridge) and have come to just resign themselves to the fact.
Musk had to wait 10 years and pay $11 million for Tesla.com —time and money that undoubtedly could’ve been better spent.

Perhaps you and some others will find threaderapp helpful for the aesthetic point https://threadreaderapp.com/thread/1309503585470701568.html

Thanks for sharing, this makes me want to move the book up my list of to-reads. As a side-note, I’m blown away to learn that Judea Pearl is the father of Daniel Pearl — can’t imagine the amount of composure it must take to continue to operate at the highest levels in his field after experiencing grief of that nature.

There were already tapes that indicated racism on the part of Nixon (see https://www.theatlantic.com/ideas/archive/2019/07/ronald-rea...). These latest tapes seemed to me worthy of further discussion because it isn’t merely a case of personal attitudes and beliefs, as terrible as those can be. These recordings indicate that the racism of Nixon and Kissinger actually played a tangible role in shaping recent U.S. foreign policy and led to tragic loss of life.

I have a nifty IFTTT thing set up that sends me a weekly summary from the ISS, most of which tends to be about their research: https://goo.gl/qSjme7
It pulls from these blog posts: https://blogs.nasa.gov/stationreport/
It's so easy to forget that we (human kind) are actually up there doing solid research all the time. The attention paid in the media to launches, landings, and the work being done seems tragically low to me.

Chacos -- well, at least the made in U.S.A. versions.
