Carbrain homeboy should take a dose of his own medicine.

Pioneering Sculptor Melvin Edwards Has Died Aged 88 The artist shaped a visual language that bridged industrial materials with deeply personal and political narratives

African American sculptor Melvin Edwards, known for his Minimalist works that incorporate industrial materials to confront and interrogate racial violence in the U.S., passed in Baltimore at 88 on March 29th.

His “Lynch Fragments” are so powerful. May he rest in peace.

With Judgment Day, the CCA told Gaines and Al Feldstein, the writer of the story, that they could not publish the comic book if the final panel had a black astronaut. For Murphy, the final panel was too controversial for 1950s America, a time when segregation and systemic racism were still accepted parts of society. This story was likely perceived as too critical of contemporary society. This outraged EC and Gaines threatened to sue the Authority. Murphy then chose to compromise and said that EC could publish the comic if it removed the astronauts beads of sweat. Gaines and Feldstein responded with “Fuck you!,” hanging up the phone (Von Bernewitz, Fred and Grant Geissman, 88).

In the 1950s this panel was controversial enough to drive it's publisher out of business

So f'ed up.

Drivers hate socialism, but love taxpayer-subsidized free parking and roads.

Worst President in 251 years.

Jeff Bezos has $222 billion.

If he paid my wealth tax this year, we could fund insulin in America for everyone who needs it plus free school lunch for every kid in Texas—and have plenty of money left over.

And Bezos would still have $215 billion dollars to spare.

This may have been the dumbest thing I’ve ever read in the NYT

DOGE Developed Error-Prone AI Tool to “Munch” Veterans Affairs Contracts We obtained records showing how a Department of Government Efficiency staffer with no medical experience used artificial intelligence to identify which VA contracts to kill. “AI is absolutely the wron...

A former DOGE staffer developed an AI tool that hallucinated the size of Veterans Affairs contracts.

For example, it concluded that more than a thousand deals were each worth $34 million, when in fact some were for as little as $35,000.

Neither Iran nor the current US administration cares about the safety of journalists...

By that logic, do we stop calling Borough Presidents, President?

BetaNYC flyer for a Mapping for Equity field mapping event at Mahoney Playground in Staten Island on Friday, April 10, 3–5 pm. Participants are invited to help map the playground and add data to OpenStreetMap. Flyer includes the meeting point near the Jersey Street entrance, a registration link, and illustrations of a streetlamp, bench, trash can, and fire hydrant.

How do we make public spaces more visible, equitable, and better mapped? One way is by documenting what’s really on the ground. 🗺️

i've successfully put a blister on my right heal. i knew i should have worn a blister pad walking out the door.

today is just sooooo beautiful.

Today is my day off. I've spent the morning walking from 23rd and 2nd (my son's school) to Penn Station to Bryant Park.

Friends, it is a beautiful day and beautiful city.

Unfortunately, there are too many cars and trucks on the walk.

The reclaimed street space is notable and enjoyable.
