Utah's Republican Governor Spencer Cox, as he vetoes a ban on trans athletes passed by the state legislature, notes 75,000 high school athletes and only four are transgender. "Rarely has so much fear and anger been directed at so few."

via @NYTimes ok nyt, send people into MMOs without a single word of warning about trolling, pervasive misogyny, and racism. Game researchers and platforms both know about these problems. Scholars and activists can’t fix it, and platforms won’t try. nytimes.com/2020/04/01/arts/…

Bernie needs 1,933 delegates to win. Biden needs 1,937. Warren needs 1,983.
This is NOT a two person race.
IMO the Left is better positioned in July with Bernie at 35%, Warren at 20%, and Biden at 30% than with Bernie and Biden neck-and-neck.
VOTE FOR WHO YOU WANT TO WIN.

Hi! A short thread on a working paper that @jsradford and I, after 2 years, finally put on arxiv. In it, we explain why machine learning needs social theory.
Our core argument is that at every step of the ML pipeline, there are questions that a technical solution cannot address

this paper has been out for a while, but since SAGE just told me it's now officially part of an issue I thought I'd mention it again :) social media adoption is not random, this has implications for big data studies journals.sagepub.com/doi/10.…
