Nit Picking?

This might appear to be a nit picking thread to some

I feel it is important to keep a record & highlight any missing credits when work by #DRASTIC and its team members like myself (which was freely done for the common good) is used by others.

What do you think? Image
SUMMARY

To the Credit of the Good Senators

#DEFUSE mentioned 35 Times

#DRASTIC mentioned 10 times

(albeit only in the foot notes)

@gdemaneuf mentioned 7 times

1. Obviously this is not a tik tok video, although it would be great to make a tik tok version 🙂

So, you will need a few hours to read and digest the implications as the science is complex.

It is a lamentable truth, oft repeated in the progressive broadsheets and the sanctimonious halls of modern discourse, that the state of our prisons reveals a dire injustice.
