yeah, cutting off mobile and internet connectivity is now one of the very first moves that invading forces often make when they take over a city. (the invading forces then rely upon Starlink for their own purposes).

we recently saw the RSF do exactly this in El Fasher in Sudan.
If a Second American Civil War ever breaks out, people will be stunned by how fragile the internet can be. All the surveillance tech in the world won't help you if the power goes out, and the more concentrated digital infrastructure becomes, the more vulnerable it gets.

I literally cried when I learned about Bayard Rustin and that the only reason I hadn't been taught his impact earlier in life was because he had loved other men.

That erasure broke my heart.
I’m interested in hidden figures in Black History who are hidden because they didn’t play into respectability politics

everybody else's organized crime gets glamorized, ours gets "the blacks are inherently criminal, must be the skin"

That box was opened once Trump became president. Putin and Netanyahu have been rifling through it for years already.

"If we name the pedophiles, America will be unsafe."

Sweetheart. Love. America is unsafe because we DIDN'T name the pedophiles.

We’ve been using traditional AI for many years (spam filters, video games, fraud detection). Pattern recognition and prediction.
What many of us have a problem with is generative AI. That ChatGPT bullshit, AI answers in Google (which can be avoided) that is wasting gallons of water.

Chadwick Boseman and James van der Beek both died in their 40s of an illness that's treatable if a colonoscopy catches it but almost no insurer covers them for people under 45, this is what Engels meant by "social murder"

Black men:

Floss every day
Go to the doctor
Get a colonoscopy

(It's me, I am Black men.)

It is. One of the constants in my adult life has been observing how much myths and “isms” fill voids created by the system. Those voids are deficits in being a whole person.

I’m reading on my lunch and a lightbulb went off.

I don’t think Black millennials know just how pervasive the “gender wars” in our community go back. I don’t think any of my peers know that The Color Purple (book and movie) legit had Black men and Black women at each other’s throats

I didn’t know that whole articles and books were launched against Alice Walker and Black feminists. Even by other Black women on behalf of Black men

NO I say never touch AI. Don't make it any part of your process. You are not author of your work if AI is any part of it. And you ain't no real writer. And is this puppy picture AI? Go on & get the hell out. You're silly.
Yer astute comment says to me use AI but don't put it in charge! To me AI is jus another member of the band and can be fired like any other band member "not pulling their weight." Everyone seems to think AI is all or none. If you think that then yer depending too much, on AI. Is it yer band -or not?

For so long, I thought planned obsolescence was our biggest concern. Then the subscription model appeared.

We are meant to own nothing and have no assets. When social security fails, we’ll have no choice but to work until we die to pay for the subscriptions that never end.

Notice how the popular media narrative has moved on, while people on the ground in Minneapolis are still struggling and crying out that things are as bad as ever. This is how fascist regimes operate — overreach, recalibration, normalization. Get louder, not quieter.

Anybody in community with the older generation knows they're more capitalist than us. Those are their real strong values. They believe in capitalism strongly. It rewarded a lot of them, of course not all. We reject it more who come next because it looks like shit to us & it's never worked for us.

I'd rephrase it to include ephebophilia, which is the interest in teens. Ultimately, most white-centric beauty standards, which have influenced ours at times, have elevated less and undeveloped teen body traits. Anyone remember the 90s supermodels looking like kids? God, help us. It was all there.
"women's beauty standards are rooted in pedophila"

my god today.
