Lots of hard, shitty lessons being learned from this presidency. And one of the many I hope you're learning is, white supremacy is incompatible with reality, and cannot exist without historical revisionism.
1/ The US Government has quietly removed a memorial to Black soldiers who died in World War II from the Netherlands American Cemetery in Margraten, South Limburg. The move follows a complaint from the right-wing Heritage Foundation to the American Battle Monuments Commission. ⬇️

I am so upset.

To be asked to write about racism only to be racially aggressed in the editing process is a new level unlocked I have to say.

When I first started doing the "fixer" kind of work, it didn't take long to start feeling lonely. Which was really weird. I was talking to more people than ever before. And people were most certainly grateful! But no one really understood what it was that I did and why.
The shift in this model is that we're no longer talking about a cofounder or a bestie or work spouse.

I'm the words that it was forming

And on the pedestal these words appear:

one aside based on @rawsignal.ca:
I once heard it touted that AI would level the field for marginalised people, by ensuring people who'd never created a pitch deck/cover letter could make one now.
if VCs are no longer reading pitch decks because they're all AI, then they're going on "gut" = bias

Speaking of which, I encourage you all to read @rawsignal.ca's newsletter today: www.rawsignal.ca/newsletter-a...
"[Eric Schmidt thinks] automating away the humans is righteous b/c it will reduce dependence on entitled employees, and produce appropriate level of fear/obedience in ones who remain."
