Funding science should be simple. In America, it’s not. So what are the problems, and how do we solve them and make science more accessible to all? Good piece by @DKThomp on where to start
Abundance requires innovation. Innovation begins with science. But scientific funding in the U.S. is broken—it's too slow, risk-averse, and old. I wrote about a surprising coalition of tech founders and star scientists who are trying to fix it. https://t.co/pmSr36HfdQ

Fascinating to see how computing started and how far we’ve come
theconversation.com
As the country grew, each census required greater effort than the last. That problem led to the invention of the punched card – and the birth of an industry.

Your labor day reminder that the federal minimum wage would be $24/hr today if it kept pace with economic growth.

Kudos to Denver for this. The reality is until there is readily available affordable housing for all of these people, we need hotels as a stopgap to keep them off of the streets and provide them access to basic services. Pandemic or no pandemic #HouseEveryone #EndHomelessness

So true. I think there comes a moment, or a series of related moments, in every white man’s life where he has to choose to either acknowledge the baggage of whiteness, and thoroughly inspect it, or deny that it has any effect and hedge hard against it #StayWoke
This is so real.

Classy response from @AuroraPD. No mention of the ketamine the officers ordered him injected with, nor the fact that the grand jury seemed to disagree with their assertion that ‘there is no evidence APD officers caused his death.’ 😒#DefundThePolice #JusticeForElijahMcClain
In reaction to today's indictments of three officers and two paramedics, the Aurora Police Association says in the statement below "Our officers did nothing wrong." #9NEWS.

This is a real headline from a genuine article. Let that sink in for a second
vanityfair.com
Rather than focusing on promoting safe, effective vaccines, Senators Ron Johnson and Rand Paul are taking aim at the FDA for warning against using ivermectin.
