Until 1972, most tennis balls were either black or white. The advent of colour television made them hard to see on the screen, and so yellow ones were introduced.
Me (researching my previous tweet): Name a famous chef.
Her: Boyardee?
My former colleague @margoatblack@twitter.com is running for Portland City Council. A fierce advocate for the poor, she needs 250 $5 contributions to quality for public candidate funding. https://www.votemargot.com/

What's not mentioned in here, though highlighted in the press release I received, is how they picked these titles: they used ~AI~ to scour a corpus of 100+ books to determine whether or not the protagonist was explicitly described as white, and if they weren't, they went to town! https://twitter.com/PublishersWkly/status/1224830023347122178

Student, a couple of weeks later: I want to build one. I've been looking into face recognition technology and I ordered a drone.

Hello, I'm a professor of computational ecology. I was in school till I was 31 and then spent another 5 years in postdoctoral training for this. Now I spend 98.7% of my time filling out forms and answering email.

After much deliberation, I have decided that I will not use my presence at a state ceremony to normalize Trumpβs lawless conduct & subversion of the Constitution.
None of this is normal, and I will not legitimize it.
Consequently, I will not be attending the State of the Union.

I've been covering voting systems since 2008. One thing I've learned, over and over again?
Keep voting as *simple and low-fi as possible*. Mostly paper.

This is how a pangolin probes an insect tunnel with its extremely long tongue.
It retrieves prey with the help of a very sticky saliva. Once this insectivorous mammal has finished its lunch, it will head back to its burrow to resume a largely solitary life
