Mozelle Baitise Delacroix’s only son. @wanderingdruid3300.bsky.social · 32m

And with this knowledge, buried in our young psyche. Why did so many folks go out and shack up with their own Oscar Kokoshkas? May ever Suzie Kokoshka in this world be freed from the shackles of a raggedy, no good partner. And may they know their worth.

A large swath of us grew up seeing how raggedy Oscar was to Suzie. She had to work two jobs to support them, while all he did was drink, gamble, and disrespect her. We saw firsthand how he made her life awful, and how her refusal to address his shortcomings sidelined HER ambition.

“Leaf litter” 😂

But I want to correct that some do eat when they hatch. But I just searched and it depends on the type. Some lay in the spring and a couple do lay in the late summer/fall.

Apparently some do. Some hatch and chill until spring. They don’t even eat. They just stay warm. I (we) never knew.

From the Editorial Board:

As Mayor Brandon Johnson prepares to give his budget address Thursday, one idea should get tossed aside: eliminating Chicago’s mounted police unit.

Editorial: Chicago budget should not cut mounted police nor sell off their horses

Is Chicago really going to sell off the horse named for Officer Ella French?

Ta-Nehisi Coates said this week on a pod that folks on both sides need to just start saying “I support genocide, I’m okay with genocide” and that’s really all there is to it.

Own your murderous shit.

OpenAI’s strategy is very clear, it’s trying to get people - especially young people - so reliant on its products intellectually & emotionally (& now sexually!) that going without them becomes unthinkable. And they need signs of that strategy working to keep the funding flowing in

Yeah. I try to be mindful of sexualizing strangers.

Niggas do be fine. But that don’t mean you always have to tell them you’d suck the skin off their dick given the chance.

i see Timbalands music video with his AI artist Tata hasn’t made it over here yet… anyways.. um.. he was doing lives on tik tok having black musicians showcase their talent thinking he was going to sign someone, just for him to later end up creating an asian AI rapper
