1. Would love to see it become the norm that when someone is doing something out of ignorance, they're given an opportunity to have dinner with the people from the community they’re ignorant about, hear why what they’ve done is hurtful, go to a museum, and have a chance to grow.
2. We’ve all been ignorant about something, although in years past, most of us were not able to broadcast that ignorance to millions of people online. Some of us have since learned either on our own or with the help of people we’ve met what we’re ignorant about. Some not.
3. But if we don’t give grace to others who don’t understand why their actions are hurtful, we shouldn’t expect it in return. Might as well stone everyone now. (H/t to @CathyYoung63 for introducing me to this Life of Brian clip. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Monty_Pyt…)

"It takes courage to hold fast to the belief that all people are innocent before being proven guilty, to show empathy for those you see as evil, to resist the temptation to celebrate over your enemy’s demise.”

1. Dogs are really remarkable! 🐕

Article about working Labradors in Thailand trained to identify people with COVID-19. 😮

2.

"as a group, the dogs being trained in Thailand — Angel, Bobby, Bravo and three others, Apollo, Tiger and Nasa — accurately detected the virus 96.2 percent of the time in controlled settings, according to university researchers."
3. Dogs are faster than PCR testing.

"An intake of air through their sensitive snouts is enough to identify within a second the volatile organic compound or cocktail of compounds that are produced when a person with Covid-19 sheds damaged cells, researchers say."

1. Naomi Osaka has been trending all day. When I first looked at this page it was about how she'd skipped contractual media obligations and might be fined $15K and face other penalties. She's now been fined and withdrawn from the French Open.

2. Osaka said in a statement on Twitter a few days ago that she was skipping these appearances for her mental health.

Her latest statement says she has "suffered long bouts of depression since the US Open in 2018".

3. I don't follow tennis or any other sports so don't have an informed opinion on how traumatic press conferences are for elite athletes but I'd like to hear a range of opinions.

1. There are screenshots of a Reddit post circulating claiming that the purported author, a black man, will commit a mass shooting of "every minority in sight" and city council members + suicide.

It seems the person named in the post is real, but not clear he's the author.
2. Post from City of Lakewood's Facebook page saying "the Sheriff’s Dept. is taking all appropriate steps to quickly address the threat and the person who may have made the social media post, which may not be the person identified in the post."

3. If you ever see a social media post like this, report it to the platform, look for news, law enforcement, and city social media posts about it, and call law enforcement if it seems they're unaware.

1. Just skimmed Amy Cooper's complaint against her former employer which you can find at the bottom of this article. Should be interesting to see how this case goes.

I'll highlight a few things below.

2. For those who missed or don't remember this case, Amy Cooper was the white dog owner who was caught on video by Christian Cooper (no relation), a black birder, having a meltdown in the Ramble section of Central Park last May.
3. They were having a confrontation over Amy's dog being off-leash, which isn't permitted in the Ramble. Christian had reportedly asked her to leash her dog, she refused, and things escalated.

1. This is well deserved! Congrats to @NateNewsNow @ericgrossarth & @NateSunderland! @EastIDNews is a model of what local journalism should be. They really rose to the challenge of covering the Daybell case which spanned 5 states. Awards are for 2 Daybell stories + another story.
2. The trio got first place in the Video: General Assignment within 24 Hours category for this exclusive that took them to Kauai to find the Daybells: "Daybells served warrants in Hawaii".

1. This weekend I watched a documentary on violence interrupters in Chicago. Went back & pulled some quotes about the work they do and how they view & treat violence as a contagious disease.

(If you’re allergic to profanity, this thread is not for you.)

2. There is similar research that shows that incivility and kindness are also contagious.
