“Although implicit bias theory appears to be drilling down to a deeper conceptual level, it presents a superficial understanding of racism/ misrecognizes the nature of racism & thus underestimates the scale of breach to be crossed through anti-racist agitation/ & inept in dealing w racist violence”

I have been repeatedly targeted by this group and they have silenced a lot of news orgs on Palestine

I'm really tired of this "messaging" conversation. Why is it that 92% of Black women immediately understood what was at stake but others didn't? Is it really "messaging" or is it an unwillingness to be allied with certain minorities? Y'all gotta start asking the uncomfortable questions.

Remember when the Jamaican Minister of Labour visited Ontario, declared what he saw to be slavery conditions, ans it was completely ignored by Ontario ans Canadians politicians?

That’s my thing. All I have heard about my entire life is men’s many problems. Whomst among us has ever had the freedom to ignore men’s problems?!! All nonsense. Men need socialism and a nap.

Earlier this year, ProPublica found that the sepsis rate in second-trimester pregnancy loss hospitalizations increased by more than 50% under Texas’ abortion ban. Here’s how we did our analysis. (Published Feb.)

After you do it enough times, just asking stops being just asking and becomes an attack in its own right, becomes a threat, that at minimum the harassment won't stop until you give in. And "just asking" is like the minimum, baseline, backstop level of bad shit that men get up to

Like they're like "oh well it SHOULD be okay to emotionally blackmail someone into having sex" but if someone asked you "do you want to fuck?" and you were like "uh, no thanks" and the same person just stared at you glassy-eyed and repeated themself 15 seconds later it'd piss you right off

Men are trying to litigate shit like "what level of coercion makes it rape" but they're perfectly capable of being pissed off by buttons that read "not this time" and understanding why

i'm the one who has been telling young men "YOU'RE BAD" and "don't be a boy." sorry about that, i'll stop

Men are not constantly being told “you’re bad,” they are constantly being told “LEFT WING SJWS THINK YOU’RE BAD” by conservative propaganda. There’s a huge difference.

“girls being mean to boys is what’s causing fascism in the united states” i cannot stress enough how much that is not happening!!!! i say this so often but start blaming someone with actual power!!

"It's a brutal time for young men" so why aren't girls jumping to naziism en masse? the only ppl it's truly brutal for are those at the receiving end of young men's bigotry what do you think primary messaging is for young girls when THESE are their peers?

“The Imperial need for control is so desperate because it is so unnatural. Tyranny requires constant effort. It breaks, it leaks. Authority is brittle. Oppression is the mask of fear. Remember that.“ ATE DOWN.

there are, in fact, a ton of positive role models for masculinity out there and if teenage boys choose the whiniest and most hate-filled versions that's at least somewhat on them

today i'll remind them...!

"It's a brutal time for young men" It's brutal for EVERYONE (women are *literally* watching their bodily rights be stripped) but only one group is trying to kick others down in order to feel tall Women/girls aren't punching bags for insecure young men who REJECT growth/betterment. This is lazy

The message isn't "you're bad." It's "respect people." The problem is you believe being a boy is having a license to say/do anything to people without repercussions. Somehow there are men all over the world who are not experiencing a "brutal" time because they don't find respect to be difficult.

Because it reveals to me that the popular notion of misogyny, gender, and patriarchy makes most cis women believe that if exploitative sexualized violence happens to a feminized subject, if said feminized subject has a "male body", it's not really misogyny and doesn't register as gendered imbalance.

Thinking about the claim that an M/M story (the kind written by and for women) is somehow a "safe space" to "explore romance without misogyny", when these stories still have a large burly manful many man romancing a tiny, weak, slender, effeminate totally-not-a-girl-thing. Usually violently.

When your "anti toxicity" formula depends on anti-racism ==ing "toxicity," then your formula is, itself, racist. Rinse & repeat for any other technoscientific application + power-related bigotry. Just as a heads up for any technologists somehow still pretending to be confused about how this works.

People that haven't studied abuse online, and aren't in community with Black women that receive the most abuse online, trying to make systems to reduce toxicity online? Makes as much sense as RFK Jr being head of Health and Human Services.🤡 There are real doctors that have studied both topics.

Even humans can't do this accurately, so there is no way that LLMs can. And the "Well, it's still useful if it gets it right 95% of the time?" Is not always true... if Black women are ~7% of the US population, receive the most abuse online *by far*, and it gets it wrong 50% of the time for them.😮

You cannot determine toxicity from looking at a sequence of characters, because context matters more than the characters themselves. And the context of marginalized groups is not included in training and labeling data (training time), and not provided when coming up with a score (inference time).

Absolutely not. Every time someone tries this, I point out how it biases against Black speech. Every. Time. 🤷🏿‍♂️ Also from the launch of the Perspective API and its "toxicity" score. Police don't kill too many Black kids." Score: Not toxic.🤦🏿‍♂️ "Police kill too many Black kids. Score: 80.28% toxic.😮

infuriating and heartbreaking how war victims are victimized over and over

African workers labeling data and providing content moderation are the invisible backbone of AI development. They perform critical labor under challenging conditions, often for minimal pay, yet remain absent from our conversations about the AI value chain.

New from 404 Media: the age of realtime deepfake fraud is here. Scammers in Nigeria are using realtime deepfakes to change their race, facial hair, gender, more to appear as someone else on video calls. Results very realistic now. Also tricking verification systems www.404media.co/the-age-of-r...

This is why Sara Ahmed said "When you expose a problem you pose a problem."

religious institutions are no more than hunting grounds for predators. keep your children away.

To consider: It's a choice to use the word "accuser" over "victim," a choice in the message you're sending. It's one you may not even realize you're making, but you make it nonetheless.

Bath & Body Works is going anti-DEI per Reddit The DEI page on their website has been removed and associates are reporting store wide meetings tomorrow about "values changing" Comments suggest leaving B&BW like Target for capitulating to a bigoted administration www.reddit.com/r/bathandbod...

Unrelated but I just wanted to say how refreshing it is to open a video & hear the original audio and not some distracting, trash song

End firefighter propaganda TODAY! From the lie that they're "attractive" to the lie that they're the "good guy" alternative to cops 1) Open your eyes 2) Listen to women's (& men's) on the job horror stories. Canadian hockey players would blush at firefighter "locker room" talk. It's THAT bleak

it would be a net-positive for everyone if OpenAI and ChatGPT ceased to exist

Hot take? The whites will NEVER get sick of their shit– not as a collective or category of ppl 🙃 Even if it costs them their own lives, they aren't letting any of this shit go lol

JUST FUCKING KILL THEM!

Shanteari Weems stood on business when she found out what was going on and they treated HER like the criminal. The way she needs to be freed immediately???

4Chan was hacked, its source code was leaked, admin emails were leaked, AND a lot of registered users used their real names and .edu email addresses. Lotta CHUDs getting exposed to sunlight today.

This just pissed me off so bad. The language used and the content. Child exchange, rehomed…export?! You mean trafficked? Sold? Handled as chattel…so, slavery.

This label on this post is HILARIOUS!!! 💀

Really gonna have a hard time convincing me that Israelis aren't trash, as a rule.

Considering the degree to which zoomers grew up online I feel like this divide really illustrates how social media was more of a progressive force in society up until it was forcibly weaponized into a fascist radicalization pipeline a few years later
