Former geography teacher Tim Walz is really into maps • Minnesota Reformer
Tim Walz really, really likes maps. He had his students build maps of the contemporary world using different layers of data that scholars believed could factor into modern-day genocides. “They started looking at food insecurity, potential drought, just like the UN was doing around famine early warning,” Walz said. But overall, Walz tends to speak rapturously about the power of good maps to bring about social change. It’s exciting.”As an ESRI executive put it while introducing Walz to the crowd of GIS enthusiasts and map nerds: “He’s one of us.”

Boston Achieves Historic Low Homicide Rate Amid Rising Concerns
Boston Achieves Historic Low Homicide Rate Amid Rising Concerns City leaders and experts seek to sustain declining violence with community initiatives and proactive outreachRecent reports out of Boston are shining a light on something many were beginning to think was impossible: the city's murder rate is plummeting to historic lows. Sheltering the city’s youth from violence has long been at the forefront of this community approach. Coordinated efforts connect various mayoral offices, city departments, and local organizations to focus on youth at risk of exposure to violence. After centuries of grappling with crime, Boston residents now face the challenging balance of optimism and caution. "We are going to continue to partner and work with the community to work on getting to zero, if it’s possible,” Cox assured.

Trans People are a Menace to God-Fearing Toilets
The ‘argument’ provides the ‘rationale’ to deny trans women access to women’s toilets, and, more generally, to other female spaces such as changing rooms and so on. It purports to shine an objective and dispassionate light on the issue of trans women, but the true focus is not trans women at all. Rowling, for example, professes some level of sympathy for trans people, but throughout her articles she assumes the category ‘women’ which trans women by their very nature stand in opposition to. She writes how, in the current and oppressive climate of ‘trans activism … Women must accept and admit that there is no material difference between trans women and themselves.’[17]The separation here is subtle but immutable; on the one hand there are ‘trans women’ and on the other, there are the women ‘themselves’. If trans women are not genuinely women, by identifying themselves as such they are simply labouring under a delusion.

In A Mortifying Turn, Countries Are Now Urging Their Citizens To 'Be Vigilant' If They Visit The UK
AdvertisementThree girls were killed last Monday, triggering a wave of social media misinformation about the suspect – and acting as a catalyst for a wave of far-right violence against asylum seekers and people from ethnic minorities. In a statement released on Monday, Australia urged its citizens to “exercise a high degree of caution” if they travel to the UK “due to the threat of terrorism”. Its government said: “Avoid areas where protests are occurring due to the potential for disruption and violence. It called for citizens to avoid any political processions, protests, rallies or marches, avoid crowded areas, “be vigilant and self aware at all times” and contact the High Commission if they have information. Malaysia echoed this advice, and emphasised that any of its citizens travelling to or living in the UK should register with the High Commission of Malaysia in London “immediately” for timely information and assistance.

Microsoft hits back at Delta after the airline said last month's tech outage cost it $500 million
A lawyer for Microsoft said Tuesday that Delta's key IT system is probably serviced by other technology companies, not Microsoft Windows. “Your letter and Delta’s public comments are incomplete, false, misleading, and damaging to Microsoft and its reputation,” Microsoft lawyer Mark Cheffo said in a letter to Delta attorney David Boies. Delta CEO Ed Bastian said last week that the global technology outage that started with a faulty upgrade from CrowdStrike to machines running on Microsoft Windows cost the airline $500 million. Both it and Microsoft said Delta had turned down their offers to help the airline recover from the outage last month. Microsoft's lawyer said CEO Satya Nadella emailed Bastian during the outage, but the Delta CEO never replied.

"We all read the stats about women being undiagnosed or underdiagnosed and sort of coming to terms with saying, ‘I really actually don’t feel good,’ and not going, ‘I’m fine, I’m fine, I’m fine, I’m fine.’ It’s just normalized to not feel good," she said.
