A school book ban is any action taken against a book that leaves access to a book restricted or diminished. This decision of moving my book from its original place, taken after one parent complained, diminishes the access elementary schoolers would have previously had to my poem.
What a carefully worded statement. The books are restricted from lower grades within the school. They are now stored on shelves available to grades 6-8 after a parent objection that demanded full removal. A compromise that sacrifices some student access is still censorship.

What Wikipedia did: we stood strong for our principles and fought to the Supreme Court of Turkey and won. This is what it means to treat freedom of expression as a principle rather than a slogan.
@mattyglesias Did your brain fall out of your head, Yglesias? The choice is have Twitter throttled in its entirety or limit access to some tweets. Which one do you want?

WATCH: “…it wasn't mental health that killed these people, it was an automatic rifle. I'm a gun lover. I have guns. I'm a former police officer. I’m a former Army officer ... prayers won't bring these people back. We need action in our legislatures.”

Holy shit. A top Republican legal strategist was just caught in a recording at the GOP donor retreat saying college students voting is “a big problem” and urging them to “combat” Gen Z’s voting rights. (h/t @lawindsor)

You can’t do zero about serious evidence of possible gross corruption by Justices of the Supreme Court and, at the same time, complain that Americans don’t have the high respect for the Court that they used to.

NEW: Ralph Yarl, 16, was shot twice by a white man in Kansas City after accidentally ringing the doorbell of the wrong home. The man shot Ralph in the head through his glass door, and then when Yarl was already bleeding out on the ground, shot him again: https://t.co/w3tYQvcpyj

So we develop a poor intuition for comparative country sizes. The biggest loser is Africa, which is humongous:

!!!! Ok I recorded a (new!) 2h25m lecture on "The spelled-out intro to neural networks and backpropagation: building micrograd" https://t.co/KQ23lQW1BT . This is the culmination of about 8 years of obsessing about the best way to explain neural nets and backprop.
