"We're going to have supervision," Ellison said. "Every police officer is going to be supervised at all times, and if there's a problem, AI will report that #problem and report it to the appropriate person. Citizens will be on their best behavior because we are constantly recording and reporting everything that's going on."

HAPPY TUESDAY!!

Thanks to Peter Linett and Slover Linett at NORC for this solid research re: DEAI and leadership in US museums - seems to be some really useful points made in the report! Of course, I have two follow-up questions (and more, but I'll let them go right now).

(you can fill in garbage info and still download the report, btw. Or request it from the authors or me.)

The Morning Consult survey, published Tuesday, found Harris garnered 51% support among likely voters — her highest margin to date — compared to Trump’s 45%.”
