Meta thinks now is a great time to launch facial recognition surveillance tech in their creepy glasses because EFF will be too distracted by fascism to notice.

Seven Billion Reasons for Facebook to Abandon its Face Recognition Plans
Meta’s analysis that it can avoid scrutiny by releasing a privacy invasive product during a time of political crisis is craven and morally bankrupt. It is also dead wrong.

It was fun. I had fun.
Hope it helps you get yer brain meat nice and tender.

An economist you all should be following yesterday is @trevondlogan.bsky.social: Economic historian, one of the smartest people I know, and a genuinely interesting researcher.
One of my favorite studies by him debunks the myth that white women were passive observers of slavery. #blackhistorymonth

Tiktok permissions to know your sexual orientation and gender. Discord making you require personal identification. The attack on section 230 of the Communication Decency Act. It's all connected. It's all to identify us "degenerates" and "undesirables". IT'S ALL WHITE SUPREMACY.

Whew, can’t wait to really dig into this. Makes me think of roadschooling and its opportunities and limitations for h*meschoolers of color.
Very excited to share that my latest article, co-authored with Dr. Brittany Davis and Dr. Aida Guhlincozzi (University of Missouri), “Take me home country roads”: The limits of sanctuary on the American road trip, is published in Western Geography!

Anyone literate in Arabic willing to volunteer some time doing basic transcription of images? I need to redo a bunch of graphics for Napata and I’m unfortunately illiterate and will not use a llm for this.
I’ve got a spreadsheet prepared with everything.

Mom give you a 💎. I’ll be adding that one, so tell her I said thank you for this.
Mom taught me not to say 'please' because then you have to say 'thank you', and we don't say 'thank you', we say 'fuck you'
Imagine begging Bluesky for features, having your PRs sitting unmerged and ignored for months, and then turning around and saying that EYEEE am the centralizing influence around here.

I've mentioned it before, but when I volunteered for my local library's literacy program, one of the most commonly cited reasons older adults cited for participating was to "read my medication labels."
according to a pediatric ER doctor my wife follows on Instagram they have started to see children coming in sick because their parents are asking ChatGPT what the correct dosage is on over the counter medication instead of just looking at the instructions on the bottle
One of the easiest ways to shoot down the idea that "AI" is an expert is to show how it deals with something people know about.
Younger readers may not get this as most appliances come pre-wired, but anyone 35+ can see these are chaotic fire hazards.
From Mastodon, AI asked how to wire a plug:

‼️ The whole conversation people outside our community are having about Blacksky community business is giving The Delectable Negro
Whatever these ideas are just know it’s not a solution for Blacksky, b/c this was never a problem for us to begin with.
But “thanks” for attempting to resolve your issue with something that doesn’t involve you, I guess.
