You're not living right if 50 people who worked for you will sign a letter about anything at all.

“The pain” isn’t evenly distributed and the knowledge it lands most on those without social power is a big part of why people are okay with the racism and fascism.

The First Mainstream Manufacturer to Put AI in a Camera Will Regret It Somewhere, in some board room, the case is being made right now to inject AI into cameras, and the first brand to do it will regret it.

“…brands seem to think that because powerful executives at Google and OpenAI won’t stop trying to shove AI down the population’s collective throat, it must actually be popular. So popular, photographers will cheer as the temperature of the water slowly increases as they’re boiled alive.”

Statistics show that 2%-7% of reported rapes result in a felony conviction.

What more usually happens is that the victim is retraumatized, first by the system, and then by their rapist, after the system does nothing to them.

the imaginary version of the criminal legal system in people’s heads—where cops believe everyone, where prosecutors do what victims and survivors want them do—gets such a clear light shone on it in these moments, I hope people learning this now remember the next time we’re right back here

need some cookie dough ice cream real bad.

"I understand we live in a giant city and we have to have rules, and that's what makes society society," she says. "But I do have a feeling sometimes I'm just gonna make this one not apply to me.”

One thing about Remy is that pen never outta ink

I know what ppl mean by ‘mediocre yt celeb succeeds means others can’ or ‘have the confidence of a mediocre yt man’ but problem is both of these presume a meritocracy exists. That if privilege + mediocrity = success, then marginalized + excellence will too.

But it doesn’t for many marginalized ppl…

Please stop saying “No one voted for this” when they goddamn well did.

If you vote in Louisiana check your Geaux Vote App, apparently they did another purge and wiped out over 500k active voters and made them inactive

Yep, but I will be supporting anyway. 😭

Gorgeous. ❤️❤️

"Light Fossils" dinosaur light painting by artist Darren Pearson, known as Darius Twin, using a unique photography technique.

The artwork is created using long-exposure photography, where the camera shutter remains open while the artist moves handheld lights to "draw" the figures in real-time.

This Is No Way to Live Feelings of powerlessness can be insidious.

My latest is a reflection on the cycle of dread, disaster, and temporary reprieves we’re all navigating, what that cycle is doing to us, and how we can avoid losing ourselves to it.

This edition also includes a roundup of must-read pieces that have helped me think about this moment.

Forensic files violated. 😭

“Words we can’t say”

you can say em if you want!

But they all work to feed into each other and legitimize the same grievance. This is why you could find people who support a wealth tax approvingly quoting the Wall Street Journal when they ran a hit piece on “identity politics” post-2024 election

There are many narratives to choose from to justify why your resentment of Black people is justified and not contrived.

It’s present across the ideological spectrum from the “you racialized my party and made us lose” liberals, to “identity politics is just a trap” leftists, to outright parroting of race science by conservatives.

A politics of white reconciliation based on a foundation of anti-Blackness.

🔥 @rokhanna.bsky.social to Democratic leadership: “Get out. Let a new generation lead. You’ve been ineffective. The base doesn’t like you. The base wants fighters.”

I think the “distraction” label they slap on everyone is born in privilege.

Who Black is distracted enough to not notice antiblackness we experience? What immigrant is distracted enough to not notice 🧊 xenophobia? Who distracted at the gas pump? The grocery store? The hospital? The airport? BFFR.
