I feel like I have to make mention of it because it feels disingenuous not to, but the MIT Media Lab features significantly in the Epstein Files. If you do a search there are over 1,000 mentions and several staff implicated. Some of which are still there and teaching.

While some of this was uncovered years ago and people removed themselves (Joi Ito for example); has MIT actually addressed this in any meaningful way? Have they begun to take on the legacy left behind of some of their most illustrious scholars and their degenerate behaviour?

You can't be a university that touts how you were the home of Marvin Minsky when that same man was literally a criminal who had sex with trafficked women. theverge.com/2019/8/9/207989ā¦

Reposting for the afternoon crowd, just want @SpursStadium @SpursOfficial to know how inaccessible it is to get tickets at your venue for concerts! :) Thanks so much for being terrible!
Time to blast @SpursStadium because I emailed at least a couple of weeks ago to ask about accessible tickets to see Bad Bunny and no one!! emailed me back and now the tickets are sold out. @AccessAbleUK @DisRightsUK @DisabilityGovUK

Oh why don't disabled people get out more - WE CAN'T lmao. We can't when places like @SpursStadium make it impossible to book things and don't answer queries from their contact forms. Good lord either make it straight-forward or don't bother.

Now I'm trying to go to another concert that has chosen Tottenham as a venue and I'm terrified to even try to get tickets because of the lack of accessibility, the absolute idiocy of the ticketing system online and the fact that I'm just sending YET ANOTHER email into the void

This isn't access, this is embarrassing. Thanks for making me miss a show I really wanted to go to and potentially making me miss more shows in the future. So depressing and disappointing honestly.

Looking at our schedule of upcoming keynotes, talks, paper submissions, and over-all service dog in labs related stuff, something struck Mom. We've done this job for over a decade, and learned a lot in the process:
The conversation isnāt really about dogs in labs šāš¦ŗ
Some make it out to be so.
However, itās really about how institutions make decisions in complex spaces.
When people who rely on service dogs are excludedāwhether as researchers or participantsāscience loses perspective. Data becomes narrower. Outcomes become less representative.
Inclusion strengthens rigor. Exclusion weakens it.
Institutions that use individualized risk assessment, collaboration, and evidence-based decisions show what ethical research really looks like. Accessibility and innovation arenāt competing valuesātheyāre mutually reinforcing.
Inclusive science is better science. That is the bottom-line.

The presentation is titled, "Service Dogs in Science Labs: Barriers to Inclusion."

This. Add to this trying to go into an accessible loo with an assistance dog and your poor animal is trying to sit and the floors are covered in human filth. A lot of times I just give up and leave. It's absolutely abhorrent.

Since I became disabled I have been shocked at the state of accessible toilets in the UK.
So many of them are absolutely disgusting.
Nothing makes you feel less welcome as a disabled person than having to use neglected toilets, with sanitary bins overflowing with human waste.
Iām often forced to take my waste with me, carrying it round in a rucksack and disposing of it at home.
Itās heartbreaking and it happens a lot.
Sadly, itās very common. Venues across the UK simply donāt respect customers with disabilities and expect us to go to the toilet in repulsive surroundings.
Thatās why itās such a treat when you go somewhere with an accessible loo thatās properly looked after.
The Hyndland Rock in Glasgow has the best accessible toilet of any pub Iāve been in.
Itās immaculate, smells fresh and even has a framed print on the wall. Art! In a disabled toilet!
I cannot tell you how happy it makes me to find a toilet like this. Itās a massive relief and it makes me feel less sad about my situation.
Iām an optimistic chap but when Iām catheterising myself or emptying my colostomy bag in a foul room full of flies, it doesnāt make me feel good about my life.
So if you have a venue, please look after your accessible toilets. The basics are the most important thing: empty the bins and keep the room clean and free of junk.
Those simple things really mean a lot to people like me.
Theyāre not on X so I canāt tag them, but thank you to all the staff at The Hyndland Rock!

Celebrities who have a sudden onset disability when they need to travel by air for the holidays with their large dog are insane. And it's like, they will ride SO HARD for their disability rights in the comments but the rest of the year? #disability #disabledrights

You suddenly lose your voice when it comes to housing discrimination for people with service dogs? Or the Trump administration practicing eugenics on people with disabilities? Or the loss of PIP benefits in the UK? But YOU NEED TO FLY DAMNIT!!!!
