five years ago today, I was hit by a car going 30 mph/50 kph while crossing the street on foot. It's been quite a journey; one that I could not have done without many of you. I wanted to reflect on just how happy I am to be alive. (cw: vehicular trauma, ortho surgery, hospitals)

I'm tickled to see David's book coming out next month; it's a meticulous and hopeful description of cocreation of an algorithm that literally means life and death. As someone with kidney disease, it's also nice to see this in an area so close to my body and my self. Cannot. Wait.

I'd like to tell you a story about how people built a life-or-death algorithm in a relatively inclusive, accountable way. It shows the promise and limits of our efforts to democratize AI. It's at the heart of my new book, Voices in the Code, out Sept. 8. amazon.com/Voices-Code-Pe

I'm actually going to cry. Five days ago, Vietnam's Ministry of Health published official guidance that prohibits forced "interventions"/conversion therapy on the basis that homosexuality, bisexuality, and transsexuality are not diseases. Finally.
An official decree from Vietnam's Ministry of Health affirming that homosexuality, bisexuality, and transsexuality are not diseases and calling for the cessation of conversion therapy.

Schumer is now choking up on the Senate floor, hailing the staff for their tireless work. (If I may offer the same: Dem and GOP alike, everyone in the press corps appreciates your work to get back to us on time over the past year, through even the latest nights)

The time is up and the Parthenon marbles should be returned_not loaned_ to Athens! It is the democratic duty of the and the UK government to listen to its own people who want them returned to Greece as their rightful owners!
