NEW: Meta co-sponsored a celebration with the Daily Wire for podcaster Isabel Brown, who often foments about Islam and wants to "save the West," which is an interesting, cocktail-party-level look at the company's rightward pivot www.motherjones.com/politics/202...
Deleting OP because I realize I hear Mom wrong. Gas is FOUR SIXTY NINE and she rounded up to $5 and when I asked her to repeat I thought she said $5.69.
Smh
That means civilian gas is even higher. I know Tarheels is PISSED.
Senator Roy Cooper looking more and more likely!

Amateur. Very amateur!
Thank you!

“Art has a way of helping to remove the ceiling from our imaginations.”
“The Warehouse,” a collaboration between artist Vic Liu & abolitionist organizer Mariame Kaba, asks visitors of the Brooklyn Public Library’s Bedford branch to imagine a world without prisons, @alexmar.bsky.social reports.
Feels important to uplift Rep Pressley's leadership. She puts in a lot of work on issues that others often don't see as a priority. I've appreciated her anti-criminalization work over the years. She's a worker.
I just want to hold those poor kids. Oh this is so awful
Black nonprofit leaders we interviewed provided additional insight and context about their relationships with funders. They described supportive funders who championed their work, shared ideas and connections, and demonstrated a commitment to Black communities. But many also experienced common challenges, such as discriminatory double standards or lack of respect for their expertise and community knowledge. One Black leader said: “There is something about trusting us to be able to do the work that we have already determined in partnership with community. This is what community wants and needs.” Philanthropy has historically overlooked the human aspect of funder-grantee relationships. Black nonprofit leaders shared that, beyond grants, they seek respect, care, and authentic commitment from funders. When asked what specific funder actions signal genuine partnership, they cited trusting nonprofits’ expertise, valuing nonprofits’ commitment to their missions, and building a shared future together.
Your expertise, if Black, is always subject to trust deflation. Someone with money always thinks they know better than you just because of the money.
It's infuriating.

And I will be referring to "AI actors" as skin puppets from now on because that is an accurate description.
The appeal to Hollywood is that the person underneath doing the actual performance can be anonymous, underpaid and replaceable, the skin puppet is the draw.
It stinks that late actors can be revived as unholy skin puppets stretched over meat actors via motion capture (oh, I'm sorry "AI") and it's all at the whim of their estate.
Most silent film actors have no protection at all, so I can't wait for a wave of "new" Valentino and Louise Brooks movies
"Black-led nonprofits—organizations with majority Black leadership and serving predominately Black communities—are less likely to receive foundation funding than other nonprofits."

Two weeks ago The Free Press let a whiner publish 2000 words ab how I got his book review cEnsoReD. It was pure nonsense from the moment it went out—but I spent the next 14 days trying to get them to post an Editor’s Note and admit reality.
They won’t.

This is the “personal responsibility” lie we’ve all been fed by big business for decades. We’ve allowed industry to convince us we’re at fault for their harms. And we’ve allowed them to turn us against each other so we spend more time finger wagging individual people then we do fighting bad actors.
Last summer, an incarcerated woman in Missouri had a hot flash while we were on the phone. Since then, I've been talking to people around the country about what it's like to go through perimenopause and menopause in prison. Here's the result, co-published by @themarshallproject.org and @19thnews.org
I loved talking to the phenomenally funny and wonderfully whipsmart Barbie Ferreira about FACES OF DEATH, MILE END KICKS, Broadway, and yes, EUPHORIA. She’s a star. www.indiewire.com/features/int...

Dear god. Very, very serious allegations of mass civil rights violations at the State of Florida's Everglades immigration detention center (officially known as "Alligator Alcatraz").
Despicable fucking government.
the people writing these op-eds for the Bulwark or NYT have seemingly never gone to a protest that wasn't a No Kings protest, and at said No Kings protest somehow strategically avoided eye contact with any of the young people from JVP or PYM or Sunrise or etc etc etc. they've BEEN PROTESTING!
