So that Two Distant Strangers short? That just won an Oscar? They stole that...from an Asian woman.

Two (men's) people's approach to communication (at work): we are not going to talk about it. Seems like a "very healthy" approach.

A fascinating, subtler point here: AI-colorization is probably coloring historical images using a Western and/or modernist lens. Think of the vibrancy of Islamic architecture in the former Ottoman Empire and what this makes dull.
Colorization APIs are becoming widespread; AI-colorized historical photos are circulated without caveat. But is AI colorization providing an accurate image of the past? To find out, I digitally desaturated these color photos by Sergey Prokudin-Gorsky, taken between 1909 and 1915.

We all watched George Floyd get murdered, and now for the next several weeks, the entire news cycle will be dominated by Derek Chauvin’s defense lawyers arguing that George Floyd does not deserve justice.
That's trauma.
It's ok to not be alright. Take space for yourself.

At this time, we will be using our platform to amplify voices from the Black and African American community at Microsoft.
And we’re starting with Megan Carpenter: msft.it/6003TcJ0V.
ALT "I personally don’t want the flashy signs or symbols of allyship, I’m not looking for the buttons and t-shirts and hashtags. I want an ally who pays attention to what is happening outside their own community or perspective. I want an ally who knows that these things are happening to people like me, without me needing to tell them that they are happening to people like me." - Megan Carpenter
