So I'm in @yougov's several-hour induction/onboarding meeting with 16 other employees, and it's really cool! History of the company, discussion, overview of goals and vision, overview of products, and more. 😀 Does your company do this?

A neat blog client that uses LiveCode, a modern-day code environment sort of inspired by HyperCard? Cool!

The Return of Mr. Ni
What with #stayhomestaysafe and all, a comment from Les Orchard on Twitter inspired me to re-install Quake 3 Arena... behold the return of Mr. Ni.

Repaired some stuff in #goldfrog around #webmention handling on weird responses (hello amzn redirects)
Read: Pyramids (Discworld #7)
Another Discworld book I hadn't read yet! Yes, a pyramid can be too big. And woe be to the cosmological architects who build it!

Yeah, on a Terry Pratchett tear; this was a new one to me and a lovely read #reading #reading2020 #fantasy
This Standford daily #covid19 health survey should be an app available for all platforms, promoted by the Whitehouse and CDC, with all responses anonymized and aggregated.

The other state with good mail-in ballots is Colorado - 87% white, relatively affluent. I think national mail-in balloting is a great idea, but can't possibly be the only option.

Some may also advocate for all-mail voting, pointing to states like Colorado and Washington that enjoy higher rates of participation. There are highly migratory populations that have participation problems if mailed ballots are the only option. There’s another concern around mail ballots: with so many jurisdictions looking to quickly switch to this model, no one knows what kind of strain this will put on the postal system.
So yeah, there are going to be issues with mail-in #voting for voters - while eligible - who do not have a permanent address, something many of us take for granted. Ultimately, solutions to fair and free #elections are going to have to be multi-modal.
Seeing calls for national mail-in voting based on success in WA/OR, which seems like a good idea on its face. However I believe those two states are majority white (78%/86% respectively)... anyone looked into how that’s working for poorer and underprivileged communities in those states #voting

Been thinking a lot the last few days about how privileged my family is to be able to effectively shelter in place here in the suburbs, with most everything we need at hand. And I don't expect even this to completely protect us. Thinking about those who don't have physical, economic, societal access to safe environments #covid19
