I want to write about how I made a YouTube video last month in which I paid probably 20 artists and no one noticed because a couple of the images in the video were AI. I’m not even saying they’re wrong to be upset, but I do think part of the problem is people take actual art for granted.

So Pope Leo has "Creole of color roots from New Orleans." Every scholar of race in America knows what that means.
Under the "one drop rule,"* the world now has its first Black pope. 😄 👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽

I want to (kindly) push back on this. The rollback of MeToo is not a “useless” court case. This is a highly coordinated— and so far successful— effort to dismantle women’s rights. That should concern you! Misogyny/women losing rights isn’t “noise” it’s foundational to fascism

Joy Reid is a friend and a former colleague. I’m sad that she lost her show but excited to see what she does next. It’s a big loss for MSNBC viewers as she did talk about issues - racism, fascism, Gaza - that other hosts have avoided.

Also if you feel strongly about Eric Adams, you should call your city councilmember to express that and ask for their position.
You’d be surprised. Hochul’s stance is highly disappointing but it doesn’t come from nowhere. Press all your electeds. City elections are in 5 months. Ask candidates too.

Mark Zuckerberg was popular and cool for the last 18 months. That has all seemed to shift since moderation changes at Meta and Trump's inauguration.
