   We certainly remember where we were on Jan. 6 2021 — and what we saw. But has the media in general forgotten? “With Trump running for president again, editors and producers have decided to prioritize everything but his treasonous actions. Their stories reflect a run-of-the-mill campaign with two people who have differing views on taxes and civil rights,” writes @damemagazine’s Allison Hantschel. She asks why legacy media has memory-holed the attack on the Capitol.

     When assistive technology for people with physical disabilities is developed, the final users of it — its “pilots” — are often not involved until the very end. That’s why robotics expert Robert Riener launched the Cybathlon. The technotopian competition takes place every four years — the next tournament is this month in Switzerland and online — and involves eight events including the assistance robot race, in which pilots control a robot assistant from their wheelchairs and the brain-computer interface race, where pilots with quadriplegia use their thoughts to guide an animated avatar through an obstacle course. Here’s more from @KnowableMag.
