Joe Exotic of ‘Tiger King’ has penned a letter to Donald Trump asking for a pardon, @radar_online reports.
He’s also offering to serve in Trump’s cabinet as ‘Federal Fish and Wildlife Director.’

Friday was my final day with The Baltimore Sun. I resigned my role because of growing concerns about the direction of criminal justice coverage under new ownership. How stories are written and which stories are written matters.

Material Alert ‼️ I have an absurd amount of these huge chunks of aerogel aka “frozen smoke” aka “the world’s lightest solid” left over from a project. They’re too delicate to ship, but too special to toss 🥲 If you’re in SF and want a piece hmu!! 🤓

Some harmful algorithms shouldn't exist. But what does it mean to "abandon" an algorithm that has already been built or deployed?
Our #FAccT2024 paper analyzes 40 real-world cases to understand how calls for abandonment can be better supported.🧵
