Gun Without a Trace

Washington Monthly 

I spent years trying to track the weapon that killed a 13-year-old Milwaukee girl. What I found is a travesty of a law that, if overturned, could put a real dent in urban violence.

How AI is impacting data governance

InfoWorld 

More than any other factor, the hyperabundance of accessible data has powered today’s surge in AI adoption and generative AI capability. Collecting, cleaning, organizing, and securing that data for AI and machine learning have become a project in itself—a governance endeavor in which AI tools themselves play an important role.

How many Catholics take their sacramental characters anywhere near as seriously as the characters they tattoo on their bodies?

Shocker Poll: Trump Verdict Actually Does Matter to Voters—Big-Time

The New Republic 

This week, Politico released a new poll with some pretty big surprises: A larger than expected percentage of Americans say Donald Trump’s criminal conviction in Manhattan makes them less likely to vote for him. The finding is even more striking among independents. The poll also took the innovative step of trying to gauge how important Trump’s conviction is to voters. And the answer is: pretty important! We talked to Ankush Khardori, a senior writer for Politico Magazine who oversaw this poll, who walked us through its findings... Читать дальше...

What Apple’s, OpenAI’s, and TikTok’s logos would look like if surrealists had designed them

Co.EXIST 

Salvador Dalí could have done a lot for logo design.

Surrealism grew out of postwar, post-pandemic Europe a century ago. The movement gave us artists like Salvador Dalí, René Magritte, and Max Ernst. Today, Europe is again reeling from disease and war, and hallucinatory artificial intelligence text-to-image generation can sometimes take on the effect of a surrealist painting.

Effort feeds different types of hunger

Las Vegas Sun (lasvegassun.com) 

My team at Celestial Manna does its best to provide these Southern Nevada residents with the sustenance they need for optimal health, distributing donated food from Las Vegas grocers and restaurants on a biweekly basis.

Alzheimer’s is a battle, but there’s more help now than ever

Las Vegas Sun (lasvegassun.com) 

My memory problems began in 2022, but didn’t become pronounced or even apparent to me until 2023 while seeing patients. I finished medical training in 1997, and I’ve taken care of hundreds of patients with dementia over the following years. But when your doctor begins repeating questions he’s already asked, it doesn’t make a patient feel very confident. That’s when I needed to get medical help for myself — brain scans, a spinal tap, neurology appointments.

Las Vegas Sun (lasvegassun.com) 

Let me stipulate: I disapprove of pseudo-journalistic stings that surreptitiously record people, often public figures, in a gotcha moment. It’s unethical whether the trapper is the far-right Project Veritas or the left-leaning “advocacy journalist” who ensnared Justice Samuel A. Alito Jr. and his wife, Martha-Ann, two weeks ago. And yet….

TheHill.com 

The Biden administration will allow certain undocumented immigrants married to U.S. citizens to stay in the country and work legally, expanding a program that’s currently used to provide papers to immediate family of military servicemembers.
