Businesses and designers continue to let profits go before what should and shouldn’t be done. Theory and exploration fine application, whoa let’s bring back the real world stakes the keep us living.
The Black Panthers didn't mock people for their lack of education. They taught people how to read
A lot of people need to hear this
This is algorithmic racism that will cost lives… mostly black. Whoever wrote this program didn’t consider the impact. #irresponsibledesign

Damn… 😭 someone pull up the dial up websites and blog posts
Plantation burning a few days after a Libra full moon, balance? Justice? Reckoning? Aries energy still got some strength. Do you need to reckon with anything about yourself, others?
The calendar and sidereal zodiac are out of sync more this year… things may be “delayed” but they coming
*bites into chicken*
Damn. Miss Shirleen must not been working today…
Gentrification is just small scale colonialism..
I love this and will be posting it everywhere
RFK Jr. said multiple times during his house and senate hearings today that no scientists have been fired from federal agencies. Our reporting has shown that hundreds, if not thousands, of scientists have been let go from NIH/CDC/FDA
Swallow perched on a dead tree in front of some beard moss (Usnea), blueish-purple wings, green back, clean white front and violet neck.
The first thing I noticed was how fast this swallow flew. When it landed, I noticed the white cheeks and green back. I was thrilled to realize that it was a Violet-green Swallow. They are stunning!

Thrilled to learn from DOJ's argument that the 14th Amendment applied to the "children of former slaves, not illegal immigrants, who didn't exist as a class yet" that modern firearms are not protected by the Second Amendment!
The state of Georgia is using the body of a brain-dead woman as an incubator. Because she was 9 weeks pregnant when she died, and their abortion ban is from about 6 weeks, they are sustaining her on life support, without input from her family, until 32 weeks of gestation.

Hey physicians, now is actually the exact time we need to all be talking about racism and health equity. Everything that is happening is going to worsen disparities. Silence is not an option.
Today’s energy has been weird. Let’s put it in rice.
(actually, "algorithms" don't lie either -- people do -- but there are 2 topics at play wrt that point that would be separate threads: (1) the use of mentalistic language in describing technology; (2) the role of automation & confirmation biases in bringing about peoples' problematic goals.)
MSNBC's finalized schedule sees its largely non-white weekend lineup of hosts booted off their namesake shows.
External threats aren't behind the white revanchism on display in media companies. They're doing this because they felt pushed into "diversity hiring" by the 2020 uprising and the "changing cultural moment" gives them the excuse to roll back the clock. They're doing this because *they* want to
My Bluesky password was compromised already 🤔 barely been here for 3 months… don’t share this password on other sites… and don’t have other apps connected…. Hmmm
Please stop saying "rolled back diversity goals" and start saying "the company capitulated to a segregationist movement."

My sentiments
While we’re banning books…
Finland is teaching children in school how to recognize fake news and propaganda as part of critical thinking and civic responsibility. Some of this will seem very familiar.
Be. Like. Finland.
Why are Bezos, Zuckerberg, Musk, Pichai and Tim Cook visiting and giving money to Trump ?
Because they are in “The Race “ to become the dominant platform in the world.
Amazon/Anthropic vs FB/LLama vs Google/Gemini vs Twitter/Grok, vs IPhones/ChatGpt is the penultimate global power war ever.
Good morning to everybody who can swim AND play spades
