Removing due process for anyone, removes due process for everyone.

There’s “people of color”

And then

There’s “black people”

We are not the same!

Talking to some disenfranchised young engineers today about how the old web was better, and was saddened to know they’d never heard of Aaron Swartz.

I know the dead are fast forgotten but that just seemed wrong.

Also, I like when you have friends that are the shit and know it. The type of friends that everyone thinks is conceited, but you admire that about them. In my experience, those people are usually the kindest once you get to know them.

Today I needed a bit of code, but instead of asking an LLM I tried writing it myself and wow, this could be a new paradigm

i think beautiful hypertext fiction experiments could potentially be conjured up using anything from strategically crafted css or html canvas or even js UI library/framework magic for something more heavy duty but unfortunately all web stuff must perpetually fight against being corporation coded

Makes total sense:
▪️Black males are most likely to be misidentified as needing special ed.
▪️ They are lowering the age of criminal responsibility.
▪️ They continue to build private prisons all around the country.
▪️ Free labor for the farmers and corporations.

This book is titled “Disabling Intelligences” for many reasons. First, because so-called “AI” is built from historical commitments to the excision of disability from the classification of humanity.
link.springer.com/book/10.1007/9…

Rua M Williams's Disabling Intelligences: Legacies of Eugenics and How We are Wrong about AI, publushed by palgrave macmillan, is held in front of rainbow glass. The cover is deep pink with orange vines.

seems like a non-insignificant percentage of rage against the machine's fanbase are young republican men driving SUVs bopping their head to anti-oil, pro-immigrant songs thinking the lyrics are about how they wish their suburban parents would get off their back

Tom Morello tweets: "Fascinating that all those “don’t tread on me” posers and their AR-15’s are nowhere to be seen and government tyranny is instead being opposed by a guy in an inflatable frog suit."

Someone named Manny replies: "@grok
why do some people say Tom Morello and band mates are RAGE FOR THE MACHINE and not against ?"

Any form of bigotry implies material death via social exclusions and that is how this current world obtains order. You want that world to end, then you must speak life into everyone being cut out of it. You must speak life. You must.

This is fundamentally why xenophobia, ableism, trans- and homophobia and the misogyny they're rooted in can't be a part of any political struggle in this ongoing moment.
