Fourth Annual “Bad Art” Fundraiser for Oakland Animal Services

"Since 2020, we’ve brought you over 1,600 *ahem* unique portraits of your pets! If you missed out, now’s your chance. Or perhaps, you need to add to your collection of bad art. Whatever your reason, now’s the time to get that special masterpiece."

"Here’s how it works: beginning August 21, for a donation of $50, you’ll receive an electronic masterpiece of your BFF. And for $125, we’ll mail you the hard copy of the artwork."

"Predictive policing algorithms are racist. They need to be dismantled.

Lack of transparency and biased training data mean these tools are not fit for purpose. If we can’t fix them, we should ditch them."

edit - just looked at the OAS website and saw Oyster. Awesome!

Oakland’s only open-admission animal shelter is in danger of euthanizing for space.

"If you or a friend knows anyone that would like a companion, we have SO MANY over-25 lb dogs that there is a good chance you’ll find the right fit. We also spay/neuter and microchip the animal for you, no cost."

Remember that when Harper raised the age of Retirement, Pierre voted several times in agreement and voted several times against opposition motions to maintain the retirement age of 65.

Next (https://www.cepr.net/moraless-first-round-victory-was-predictable-not-inexplicable/): Despite #OAS claims that the final result was inexplicable, the counting bias was quite clear. The yet-uncounted polling stations had been far, far more supportive of the 2016 referendum to lift term limits in #Bolivia.

By extension, this concerned Morales's eligibility to run again, and is generally viewed as a proxy for support for his presidency. There are problems with this, but for now we recognize that there the late votes in 2019 would be hugely favorable

In Part 4 (https://cepr.net/some-observers-including-the-oas-ignored-critical-biases-in-bolivias-preliminary-count/): the pattern of partial, preliminary, results of the 2019 presidential election in #Bolivia indicated that incumbent Evo Morales was going to extend his lead and secure the 10-percentage-point margin necessary for a first-round victory.

Nevertheless, the #OAS would call this outcome “inexplicable” and announce preparations for a second round. The OAS failure to account for counting bias legitimized opposition Stop-the-Steal type protests

The #OAS was an official observer to the election and dropped this bombshell amidst increasing opposition violence. The police had mutinied in many cities. Mobs had set fire to the home of Victor Borda (president of the Chamber of Deputies) and kidnapped his brother

Three years ago in the early morning hours, the #OAS published preliminary findings of its “audit” of the 2019 general elections in #Bolivia. The OAS offered no evidence to back up these findings apart from a laughable statistical analysis

#introduction My name is David Rosnick (he/him) and I've been with the Center for Economic and Policy Research (DC) since 2003 though currently located in #Boston. My PhD work was in computational #genetics, but I have been spending most of my work time the last few years on #election data analysis. Particularly, (with a great team at #CEPR) I have been demanding accountability for the #OAS actions surrounding the 2019 general elections #Bolivia. More on that tomorrow!

RT @alexiscorbiere: Nous savons tous depuis longtemps que l'#OAS a assassiné plus de 2500 personnes, ainsi qu'une tentative d'assassinat sur le Président de la République.
Aujourd'hui, l'Assemblée nationale a été présidée par un homme qui prétend ne rien savoir.
Ce négationnisme est honteux.
