#EdMartin’s brief tenure as top federal prosecutor in Washington has stoked controversy. Democrats accuse Martin — a #Trump “Stop the Steal” organizer who has called the 2020 election & #Russia’s 2016 #ElectionInterference investigation “hoaxes” — of violating the #law & legal #ethics in threatening to investigate or prosecute lawmakers, protesters, journalists & others whom he perceives as undermining Trump’s agenda.

@markmccaughrean Well, this prize showed a collection of all these #TESCREAL fascist bros ("Brin and Zuckerberg as well as Amazon founder Jeff Bezos and OpenAI CEO Sam Altman"). In this case, is it kowtowing or is it already collaboration?

Does anybody know how the scientific world itself categorises this prize? What significance does it have for serious scientists beyond that Hollywoodesque fuss? @academicchatter

Just liberated the video of one of my talks from YouTube and uploaded a copy to our Vimeo account:

Big Brother Awards 2014: Moving beyond the clouds (we need an ethical approach to design)

(Imagine what a different world we’d be living in today if folks in tech had heeded our warnings back then. But I guess they were too busy making mint.)

PS. yt-dlp is your friend (on Mac: brew install yt-dlp). Also make sure you have ffmpeg installed (brew install ffmpeg). Finally, I had to manually tell yt-dlp where to find ffmpeg although your mileage may vary based on installation method: yt-dlp "<URL>" --write-subs --ffmpeg-location=/opt/homebrew/bin/ffmpeg (--write-subs saves the subtitles if there are any to a file in a format you can use on the web).

5 former prosecutors who worked on #criminal cases stemming from the #Jan6, 2021, attack on the US Capitol are urging the disciplinary office governing #lawyers in Washington, DC, to open an investigation into #Trump’s controversial pick to be the district’s top prosecutor.

The filing is the latest turn in the nomination of #EdMartin to be US attorney for DC & comes as Senate Democrats have pledged to delay any confirmation vote.
