The funniest part of all the billionaires are building bunker stories is the part where they’re sure the class hierarchy will survive the apocalypse.

"I once met a former bodyguard of one billionaire with his own "bunker", who told me his security team's first priority, if this really did happen, would be to eliminate said boss and get in the bunker themselves. And he didn't seem to be joking."

Tech billionaires seem to be doom prepping. Should we be worried?

The debate is ramping up about what happens if - or when - computer intelligence overtakes humans

How would they know? They probably never opened a history textbook in their lives.

It’s dangerous for black people to reach out to white Republicans.

I wonder how the "Kamala is pro genocide so sabotoge her election" crowd feel about this. Oh, we already know because they were always full of shit.

Israel has awarded Donald Trump the country’s highest honor — the Presidential Medal of Honor, per office of Israeli President Isaac Herzog.

Netanyahu also presented Trump with a golden dove of peace.

You mean the same fools who still harass Harris’ public events even though she’s a private citizen who holds no public office? But don’t say boo to any representative of the FOTUS ‪trump‬ administration? Oh yeah, they’re real hardcore concerned about the fate of the Palestinian people.

we’ll see how his mayoral tenure shakes out but i am convinced that Mamdani has the juice. not just the charisma to win an election but the temperament to govern and the measured pragmatism of someone who genuinely believes what they’re saying and wants to accomplish real things.

What surprised me about Kanopy was the number of exceptional films they have available. We don’t have to give them our money when there are other options available.

thethinblackduke.bsky.social @thethinblackduke.bsky.social · 1d

Thankfully they can’t (yet) coerce us to watch their garbage. The library app Kanopy is a godsend.

Legacy media understands the assignment. The Trump administration doesn’t want to spend a dime to help “ordinary” Americans (Translation: Not Rich), so reporting on these disasters will be non-existent. “What storm? That’s fake news, libtard!”

Black people understand the assignment. We’re not going to volunteer to be meat cubes at protests anymore. White people got to be the ones who put the racist genie back in the bottle.

This.

It’s depressing to realize that I can find superior content during the day that’s much more informative and entertaining from YouTubers than on network TV.

Cory Doctorow warned us about the pernicious spread of ‘enshitification’ impacting our culture by corporations years ago.

[White] Americans are finally facing the consequences of their votes and they don’t like it. It’s unfortunate for them that Reality doesn’t give a damn about how they feel.
