1/ There has never been a more concentrated distillation of my teaching than this lesson: Algos, Bias, Due Process, & You. It is the apotheosis of what I do. I very much hope you enjoy it, share it, and make bits of it your own.

I think people often wonder this, and it's a great question, so let me explain the advantages of 3D printing whistles. There are many.
The 3D printing effort started from one of our organizers who started by sourcing mass-produced whistles.

I mean, are they really cheaper or easier to produce than just sourcing the right thing from a mass distributor? it's sweet but doesn't seem Pareto efficient, and I feel like that's important to the revolution

I enjoyed this Vogue behind-the-scenes peek at Bad Bunny's Grammy outfit. I like the concept (especially the corset detailing), but think the execution could have been better. The coat does not appear to fit him as well as it could have. May have benefited from new pattern + multiple fittings. 🧵

A thing about this project is that we intentionally work *behind* the news cycle, like gleaners. We wait until we can describe something clearly and then we add that brick to the wall. It’s an unnatural fit for social media, which is kind of the point.
From the killing of Alex Pretti to the detention of five-year-old Liam Conejo Ramos thousands of miles from home, Minnesota continues to suffer violence at the hands of federal agents. We’ve added more than 30 events to our timeline just this week:
