When I served as a staff writer @miamiherald.com (‘93-‘97) our photojournalists + reporters talked reverently of photojourno #CarolGuzy, who’d departed The Herald in the late ‘80s for the #WaPost. Fast forward: #Guzy is still a force of visual accountability. See her recent pic, via ZUMA Press👇🏾🥺

How many people and children forced to starve in Israeli concentration camps did Israel execute today? Lowest guess I'll allow is 45 of which 27 children, because that's the lowest that figure has been for the past few weeks.

I would never presume to lecture a computer scientist on how to teach their material, as I am unqualified.
This computer scientist should not pontificate about teaching subjects where he is unqualified.
Teaching about race is political. Full stop.

You don’t have to be particularly sharp to decipher the code here.
But if you need someone to say it, this is a major technology company and a sizable defense and intelligence contractor publicly declaring, with only the thinnest patina of deniability, that its cause is white nationalism.

A moment of reckoning has
arrived for the West.
Our culture has fallen into shallow consumerism while abandoning national purpose. Too few in Silicon Valley have asked what ought to be built - and why.
We did.
We built Palantir to ensure America's future, not to tinker at the margins. On the factory floor, in the operating room, across the battlefield - we build to dominate.
Join us.
