As a survivor of the Tulsa Race Massacre, Viola Ford Fletcher bravely shared her story so that we’d never forget this painful part of our history. Michelle and I are grateful for her lifelong work to advance civil rights, and send our love to her family.

If you saw this 60 Minutes piece, please read this excellent piece by Nirit Weiss-Blatt. As I and many others have been saying, the people pushing AI Doomerism are the same people who are selling you AI tools.

These contests always bring to mind the question of authenticity. If someone steals "your" AI generated content, how do you prove it was yours to begin with? Not to mention the fact that we're now at this odd inflection point of what exactly is "stealing"?

In 2024 alone, Americans were scammed out of $240 million via Bitcoin ATMs. All of these years later, I still remain unimpressed by crypto. This certainly doesn't help.

No disrespect to Taylor - she has had a long, successful career. But if I had to choose, I'd pick Christina Carpenter every time. In my opinion, her music is far more creative and entertaining.

Currently rewatching this show, and love it as much as I did when it originally aired!
#Blacksky #TV #Comedy #Sitcom
This sitcom chronicles the misadventures of teenager Chris as he grows up in 1980s Brooklyn. Chris is surrounded by eccentric family members, including frugal father Julius, intimidating mother Rochelle, spoiled sister Tonya and younger brother Drew, who is more popular than Chris. The show is based on the life of comedian Chris Rock, who serves as the narrator for the show and is also an executive producer.

If you're a social media influencer, and one of your fans/followers harms you because they decided they no longer agree with you, what does that have to do with other groups of people - especially groups of people who have no idea who you are?

In most things, I think it would be helpful if people consider that reality is not a singular constant. Rather, it is shaped by one's own perceptions. Truth is not necessarily a polar compliment to reality. Truth is a shared agreement at the convergence of multiple perceptions.
