“In his Instagram post, Encina thanked Gomez, the Getty photographer, whose presence on the train he said was ‘quietly reassuring.’ In the interview, he said seeing a photographer there gave him some comfort because someone was documenting what was happening.”

My interview: “I came to this country as an infant and became a U.S. citizen,” Roswell Encina said. “So sitting there, on the Fourth of July, I couldn’t help but think about the promise of America and the work still required to protect it.” www.advocate.com/news/people/...

There’s a remarkable amount of triumphalist, smugly self-congratulatory rhetoric in the chief’s Slaughter opinion. And I’m curious how it’ll register in 5-10 years when it’s recognized as the reason the United States is not allowed to have a neutral, nonpartisan body of experts that regulates AI.

Most AI models are trained in English—but only a small percentage of India's 1.4 billion people speak it. India's Bhashini is building sovereign AI infrastructure for Indic languages to close the digital divide, write Sushant Kumar and Ananya Mukherjee, who are external consultants to the project.

A viral dog rescue from 2016 is now immortalized with a statue in Kazakhstan. When a dog fell into the Sayran reservoir, bystanders formed a human chain to pull him to safety. The statue is a reminder of the value of unity, solidarity and collective action. 14/10 for all

Despite the importance of data about what happens in public on online platforms, there is no shared framework for how research, journalism, and independent investigations should be conducted with public platform data. The Better Access framework we released today provides that. Incredible work!

📣 Online platforms shape what we know, how we connect, and who gets heard, yet researcher access to public platform data is shrinking, while platforms monetize this data. Our new report "Better Access" offers a framework for accessing this critical data: kgi.georgetown.edu/research-and...

"We get through most days in life without having to really think about death, which also means that we don’t spend a lot of time dwelling on the remarkable fact that we are alive." Astonishing writing, beautiful piece.

I've just written about my intense relationship with my father and how running helped me both connect with him and avoid becoming him. It's my first article ever for @theatlantic.com My dad wrote here in 1967, and it seems fitting to publish this 58 years later. www.theatlantic.com/magazine/arc...
