@censusSDC @UNMBBER Our natl. network of #censusSDC & @uscensusbureau had a really productive annual mtg earlier this month. 👋
Great opp'ty to hear how #stategov & univ #datapros are extending Census data -- new uses & broadening the audience.
@censusSDC @UNMBBER @uscensusbureau .@SuzanReagan provides a good roundup of news from our partners @uscensusbureau

Some of the news was (surprise) actu'ly newsworthy. (Attn #2020censusbeat #poptwitter)
@censusSDC @UNMBBER @uscensusbureau @SuzanReagan Highlights from my pt of view 👇
1. After some prodding by those of us in the States, USCB published a database of 2,700 #CompleteCount Cmtes prep'ing for #2020Census. Here public.tableau.com/profile/us.cen…
@censusSDC @UNMBBER @uscensusbureau @SuzanReagan 2. Redistricting Data Prog. @uscensusbureau described how States can redistribute special populations (incarcerated in prisons), crediting counts to home Census blocks *if* States so choose. The alterntive tabulations would be State product, not a USCB product. (Attn @NCSLorg)
@censusSDC @UNMBBER @uscensusbureau @SuzanReagan @NCSLorg Obv'ly this is a State-level policy decision. Only a handful of States so far hv indicated they will do this for #redistricting purposes.
@censusSDC @UNMBBER @uscensusbureau @SuzanReagan 3. Last item from #CensusSDC annual mtg. Excellent pres'n on #2020Census approach to race & origins questions.
Backstory: in 2016, after yrs of study, #FedStatsAgencies recommended update, streamlining official federal race categories. @MickMulvaneyOMB decided to ignore.
@censusSDC @UNMBBER @uscensusbureau @SuzanReagan @MickMulvaneyOMB So #2020Census must use the 1997 race categories put in place by Clinton Admin. Disappointing to @AAIUSA & all us demographers who want to know: what is the pop of Middle Easterners living in USA?
@censusSDC @UNMBBER @uscensusbureau @SuzanReagan @MickMulvaneyOMB @AAIUSA Still, good news, the public will be able to dig into #2020Census data products & discover #MENA counts , thx to a bit of survey design creativity.
@censusSDC @UNMBBER @uscensusbureau @SuzanReagan @MickMulvaneyOMB @AAIUSA @uscensusbureau has designed the 2020 race & origins questions to be open-ended = fill in the blank, not just check a box. And they're implementing a process to tabulate every detailed ethnicity & origin. So... Middle Eastern origins? Yes, #2020Census will hv those counts. 👍
@censusSDC @UNMBBER @uscensusbureau oops. Correction= @suzan_reagan

Earlier this month we wrote to the Advocate General for Scotland and Prime Minister asking for confirmation that Parliament would not be suspended to force through No Deal. goodlawproject.org/suspending-par…
On Monday we received a letter in response. That letter contained no such confirmation.
Earlier today, along with seventy-five Parliamentarians, I issued proceedings in Scotland's Court of Session, along with a request that the matter be determined by the end of August. The (detailed) petition will be published on Wednesday as a blog at GoodLawProject.org.

Earlier this month, I wrote about how search results on Facebook were dominated by anti-vaccine misinformation theguardian.com/media/2019/feb…
.@RepAdamSchiff cited my report in his letter to Mark Zuckerberg, demanding answers and action on anti-vaccine propaganda schiff.house.gov/imo/media/doc/…
The sprawling network of closed Facebook groups spreading pseudoscience is difficult to police because Facebook creates screening tools for these groups to keep those with dissenting views out theguardian.com/technology/201…

In this long thread, I will cover card by card the story of the Ixalan vampires, also called the Dusk Legion.
#mtg #mtgixl #mtgrix #mtgm19 #PT25A
Azor was a Planeswalker, and his deeds across the Multiverse include the creation of the Guildpact on Ravnica and numerous ancient civilizations on different planes have legends of a “lawbringer” winged figure viewed as a god, that can be traced to Azor. #Ixalans #mtgixl #mtgrna
On Ixalan, Azor sacrificed his spark to create the Immortal Sun, a device part of a plan elaborated with Ugin to trap Nicol Bolas on Ixalan. But Ugin was killed by Bolas on the plane of Tarkir and instead, it was Azor who remained trapped on Ixalan. #mtgixl #mtgfrf

On #MTG and safety and security, because it's topically relevant today: First and foremost, Magic cards are easily negotiated certificates of value. They're not quite stacks of cash, but they're close. If you wouldn't do something with a stack of cash, don't do it with cards.
At events, that means:
Don't leave cards or decks unattended. "Just for a moment" is the catchphrase of the forlorn gamer. You wouldn't leave a stack of cash alone with hundreds of strangers for just a moment. Don't do it with cards. #MTG
At events, that means:
Don't leave cards in your car. In the trunk/boot is better than the cab, but it's still not good. Parking in a lit area under a camera is better, but still not good. Yes, it's obnoxious to carry cards everywhere. Less obnoxious than replacing them. #MTG

Annual reminder that the Current Population Survey can't be used to measure gaps in educational attainment between those who grew up rich and poor

brookings.edu/research/how-c…
The CPS is awesome for tracking education of the entire population.

Yay for high-quality, cross-sectional, government statistics! 2/N
The CPS is NO GOOD at telling us how adults' educational attainment differs by childhood socioeconomic status. 3/N
