Tallahassee Memorial Hospital responds to cyber attack by attacking workers
Tallahassee, FL - Due to a recent cyber-attack, Tallahassee Memorial Hospital is forcing its employees to use their PTO, take unpaid leave, or to come to job site where bosses will tell them what they will work on.

Drag Race season 15: The exploitation of queer performers and drag queens
Tallahassee, FL - For the last couple of months, I have binge-watched hundreds of hours of YouTube content related to RuPaul's Drag Race. I find myself emotional watching drag queens lip sync to Demi Lovato’s, Sorry Not Sorry. It is excellent television. Seeing talented queer people, especially those of color, grace the screen moves one. Even Shangela's epic read of Mimi Imfurst brings me to tears. That read is absolute poetry.

Right-wing protesters storm DC Capitol, Tally 19 still face charges
Commentary by Regina Joseph | January 9, 2021 Tallahassee, FL - I found out about the right-wing attack on the U.S. Capitol while casually scrolling through social media on my phone. It started off as one Facebook post about Mike Pence being dragged away by the Secret Service. It had no context. More information trickled, then flooded, in - “protesters stormed the capitol,” then more videos, images and of course memes - painting a picture of the most nauseating, gut-wrenching and insulting scenes.

Big data is, of course, information about you and me--the purchases we make, our choices for health care, choices for music, and choices for other myriad minutia.
Which election forecast was the most accurate? Or rather: The least wrong?
Few political observers saw Trump winning the presidential election. Afterward, some election forecasters ate crow. One actually ate a bug.
