Statistics suggest downtown isn’t significantly more dangerous, but Hamilton’s core struggles to shake unsafe reputation Increased police presence and crime data point to progress — but visible violence and stigma continue to hold the core back.

How do you write about "safety" & "dangerousness" while acknowledging that there isn't an increase in "violent crime", & not name the years of racialized folks saying that more police does not make us feel safer, & prejudiced ideas of danger are not about it either? 🤦🏾‍♂️

Heart, Mind, Body, and Soul: Joel DeMott’s 'Demon Lover Diary' (1980) - Split Tooth Media DeMott's classic 1980 documentary is a volatile portrait of a crew trying, and often failing, to summon a horror movie out of very thin air.

Incredibly sad to hear that Joel DeMott passed away last week. DeMott's films 'Seventeen' and 'Demon Lover Diary' are absolute classics. I wrote more on her work at the link below but seek out the films. They deserve so much more attention!

I’d vote in that reader’s poll but unfortunately I don’t qualify 😢

Gaza Strip was approximately 2.227 million. The Garb report includes maps displaying IDF estimates for the populations remaining in what are considered the three primary enclaves. The numbers are as follows: Gaza City: 1 million Mawasi: 0.5 million Central: 0.35 million The total of these official estimates is 1.85 million people. Simple arithmetic reveals a horrifying gap: 2.227 million minus 1.85 million leaves 377,000 people unaccounted for.

A Harvard study of IDF data finds that there are 377,000 people unaccounted for in Gaza.

That estimate is six times the number of people normally cited as killed.

Genocide.

the destruction of chattel slavery is one of the great accomplishments in our nation's history and the reason conservatives hate celebrating it is because doing so legitimizes the black counter-narrative of the united states

We did the math on AI’s energy footprint. Here’s the story you haven’t heard. The emissions from individual AI text, image, and video queries seem small—until you add up what the industry isn’t tracking and consider where it’s heading next.

Yes, it's long. Yes, it's complex. Yes, it's detailed. And yes, it will make you sad unto nihilistic depression. But it's also necessary to read because AI is going to fuck the planet beyond expression. www.technologyreview.com/2025/05/20/1...

Hi Tripp, I'm a reporter with the Guardian US, based in New York. I hope this finds you well. I'm reaching out about your most recent article and its inclusion of the claim, "Young Chinese women have small fingers." What is the source of this information? The full sentence attributes the claim that such small fingers make them "nimble" and therefore "valuable" to iPhone manufacturing to unnamed "supply chain experts", but it's unclear whether those same experts are the source of the claim that young Chinese women have small fingers in the first place. Are they? How do they know? Is there a study you can cite? And are we talking length? Circumference? Is it question of muscle strength? Or bone density? What is the normative range for finger size, to what extent do young Chinese women fall outside of it, and how do you - or your sources - know this?

Incidentally, how are you defining "Chinese" in this sentence? As I'm sure you and your supply chain experts know, China is a large country with dozens of ethnic minorities. It is hard to imagine that hand size is a trait linked to national identity, but the lack of specificity leaves the question open. Did hand size among Han Chinese living in Taiwan vs the PRC diverge after the civil war? Could this be a function of political economy rather than a genetic trait? So many questions. Relatedly, how are you defining "young"? Do Chinese women's fingers grow as they age? Or is size not actually the meaningful characteristic? It's hard to tell from the information you provided! I ask all these questions because unless you have answers to them, I am afraid that you may have portrayed racist pseudoscience as if it were fact in an article for the New York Times. If that wasn't your intent, I hope you will reflect upon the long history of certain forces using race science claims to attribute suitability for certain types of labor to certain types of people, and amend your article. Best, Julia Wong
