One of my favorite annual @democracynow.org traditions is that we always play this video of James Earl Jones reading Frederick Douglass's speech "What to the Slave is the 4th of July?"

If you've never read or heard the speech, it's well worth your time.

BEEN saying this. The way everyone has just accepted the “hallucinations” explanation has been wild to me. We humans are a reflection of the training we receive. Why would we think MACHINES wouldn’t be the same way?
"AI has hallucinations"

we call them lies beloved... you taught the AI how to lie

TIL it’d be more financially beneficial for me if I wait until retirement to spend my HSA since I can afford to pay medical bills out of pocket. This way I can take advantage of more tax benefits & invest that money in the meantime.

Hoping this helps others too! fortune.com/well/2025/03...
What happens to your HSA in retirement?
Here's what you need to know about your health savings account.

As far as I understand it, 10 Democrats voted for the Republican budget because, if they didn't vote for it, there might be a government shutdown which would give Trump the power to fire federal employees and shut down agencies -- TWO THINGS TRUMP AND MUSK ARE ALREADY DOING ON A DAILY BASIS

American politics makes a lot more sense when you realize that the GOP is afraid of pissing off the GOP base, and the Dems are afraid of pissing off the GOP base, but neither party is afraid of pissing off the Dem base.

I’m running for Governor. As an engineer, I solve problems and deliver results—that’s what we’ve done for six years.

Now, we face new challenges. We need bold leadership to protect our rights & build health & wealth for every Michigander.

I’m all in. Let’s #StandTall for Michigan!

Dems are still whining that the rules changed, but they are sending 11 men onto the field while the GOP sends 20 and the dems keep begging the ref to throw a flag. Send 20 men on the field like the GOP!

as LA is burning, a swath of the country is recovering from an ice storm, Alabama is preparing for up to 6” of snow and I’m praying for the TX power grid, a reminder:

we don’t need climate action just for future generations, we need it now.

Please, y'all.
If the post has information that people should know, please signal boost it.

Liking does nothing.
For people used to the “like to boost a post” algorithms from X & Threads, that doesn’t work here. If you like something and want more people to see it, RT it.

I have a singular opinion about the CEO k*ller, and I’m shocked I haven’t seen this sentiment expressed yet. Or maybe I just haven’t been on the socials enough over the past several days to notice. If you’re Black, you know exactly what I’m talking about.

Soooo…we back over here now? I was here during the invitation era, and it was cool, but the people weren’t treating *us* right. I’m guessing that’s been rectified? I’ve been kicking it on Threads for the most part, but if this is where #BlackTechTwitter is these days, I’ll jump back in.

Catching up on what’s been going on over here lately…sad. I really thought this was gonna be the place to land once Twitter finally imploded, but you will never achieve whatever goals you have for yourself as a platform if you try to shut Black people out in the process smh.

Long shot, but I’m recently in the job market. I have worked for 2 startups (including 1 early-stage startup) in 2+ years. I’ve worked extensively with Node, React, Vue, and React Native within this period. Looking to join a team where I can learn and make great impact. I also learn rather quickly!

I think we should just go with “posting”. It’s not creative, but it gets the job done and it’s better than the alternative that’s been floating around…
What’s the verb on this platform? Are we blueskying? Skying?

We need to workshop this.

Monday and Tuesday were trash, so I made sure to get an extra hour of sleep last night (yes, I’m at that age now. Let’s see if that does the trick.
