Welcome back listeners! This week we are bringing you some stories that will make you think twice before shopping in the toy section of Goodwill. BUT FIRST: Last week we covered Bar and Nightclub stories. Shannon read the fictional story. She found it on reddit/nosleep by u/tjaylea. Maire covered the tragic true story of the Orlando Nightclub shooting. Her sources were: an NPR article titled, 3 Hours In Orlando: Piecing Together An Attack And Its Aftermath by Ariel Zambelich and Alyson Hurt. A Forbes article titled, Pulse Nightclub Site Becomes A Powerful Memorial by Lois Alter Mark. A BBC article titled, Orlando shooting: Biden designates Pulse nightclub national memorial site. A guardian articles titled, Every mass shooting in the US – a visual database by Alvin Chang. And gunviolencearchive.org Keep it creepy, ya'll.

Alvin Chang is a futurist and technology enthusiast.  This episode was prompted by a conversation I had with him on LinkedIn where he spontaneously told me DevOps was dead and briefly seemed to be suggesting he should tell Gene Kim.I requested he explain via podcast and here we are!  It goes in some very interesting directions.References:https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/GPT-3https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Impact_factorBlogchain:https://steemit.com/People:https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tim_Berners-Leehttps://www.ucl.ac.uk/bartlett/public-purpose/people/mariana-mazzucatohttps://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Charlie_MungerAlvin's Profilehttps://www.linkedin.com/in/alvinchang/Websitemedium.com/@d7414bb4154815d100ab8aa6610fb1  (Blog)Emailalvin.chang@gmail.comTwitteralvin_chang

Alvin Chang, a reporter at the Wall Street Journal, is like a magician -- he makes the invisible, visible by telling data-driven stories in visually compelling ways. It’s an especially relevant skill because, in this digital world, it can be hard to wrap our heads around everything happening and our role inside of it when the forces that shape it aren’t necessarily visible. Alvin walks us through the evolution of social media and the risks that come with its use so we can be more deliberate about how and why we are using social media at UNDP.

Welcome to Weeds 2020! Every other Saturday Ezra and Matt will be exploring a wide range of topics related to the 2020 race.  Since the Nevada caucuses, Bernie Sanders has become the clear frontrunner in the 2020 Democratic primary, spurring lots of debate over whether he could win in the general election. We discuss where the electability conversation often goes off-the-rails, why discussing electability in 2020 is so different than 1964 or 1972, the case for and against Bernie’s electability prospects, and the strongest attacks that Trump could make against Sanders and Joe Biden.  Then, we discuss Ezra’s favorite topic of all time: the filibuster. Ezra gives a brief history of this weird procedural tool, and we discuss why so many current Senators are against eliminating it.

Last November, Dr. Cat Hicks wrote an essay on Medium called "Reading vulnerable learners' applications to grad school: we need to stop failing them." In this episode of the podcast, University of Minnesota graduate student Becky Rodriguez interviews Dr. Hicks about her essay, her educational and career path, and how our educational system can be stacked against vulnerable learners. She offers some advice for applicants, those who review applications, and others who may just want to help. "A truly inclusive and diverse future will produce way better work, and you only get there by saying, 'we have to be comfortable with letting people be different.'" Our conversation is especially relevant given recent news and discussion about unfairness and fraud in U.S. college admissions. (And if you want to know what any of this has to do with asteroid fields, you'll just have to listen to the episode.)

Alvin Chang, Senior Graphics Reporter for Vox, wrote and illustrated an article last year called "The subtle ways colleges discriminate against poor students, explained with a cartoon." In this episode of the podcast, we share the audio of a webinar that Chang presented for the Center for Sustainable Nanotechnology about his work. He tackles challenging issues of class, bias, and educational attainment using clear illustrations (verbal as well as visual) and simple analogies that are relevant far beyond the world of academic science.

Alvin Chang is senior graphics reporter at Vox and the author of the lead piece in The Highlighter #125, which focused on school resegregation. Mr. Chang creates explainers that include data, cartoons, and history. He believes that our society's most challenging problems emerge from the everyday decisions that we make. On the show, Mr. Chang and I talk about how he got into data journalism, how he approached this piece, and what his response is to people who say that integration is not the right solution to our challenges in education. --- Support this podcast: https://anchor.fm/highlightercc/support This is a public episode.

Congressman Will Hurd (R-Texas 23) says the evolving mindset of the U.S. intelligence community has made us safer since 9/11. Instead of hoarding information because of "need to know", intelligence agencies share information laterally because of the "need to share". Congressman Hurd, who filled now-CIA Director Mike Pompeo's seat on the House Permanent Select Intelligence Committee, talks to Michael Steele and Rick Ungar about how the U.S. intelligence community has adapted and improved since 9/11, but also notes how there's still room for improvement. Alvin Chang, senior graphics reporter for Vox, talks about his piece exploring how colleges and universities subtly discriminate against students based on class.
