This is some great research on how algorithms shape us: 'Users who switched from the chronological feed to the “For You” feed were 4.7 percentage points more likely to prioritise policy issues favoured by US Republicans (for example, crime, inflation and immigration).' 🧪

MOVE TO LONG ISLAND YOU DUMB BABIES

I think someone once asked Jada what that line meant and he said something along the lines of “I have no idea” Rap has always had kayfabe and this has always included women rappers.

If you into this sort of thinking, you need to read some James Cone. He not only argues that Jesus was ontologically Black but that his crucifixion was very much a lynching by the state. This is what the “Why do Black people keep practicing the white mans religion” crowd doesn’t get.

I love this as a model for what to do when voting is not enough, because it's not.

Remember when Michael Jackson took Dirty Diana off a set list out of respect to Princess Diana, and Princess Diana came up to him like “why you ain’t play my song” 🤣

CEO got almost 4 million right before they filed bankruptcy

With a virus that says it may take up to 8 weeks for them to even show SYMPTOMS 🤬

Happy Teacher's Appreciation Week. If you know me, you know I love my educators down. Thank you to every single person who teaches for a living, you are literally why the world is still spinning and we love you very very much. #teachersappreciationweek #teachsky

Orc sports bar. No good regular human joins a country club. One that’s been alive for 200 years is a level of evil I don’t need to see.

Fae, simply because that’s more my type.

The most perfect city in the world🥹

My heart and thoughts go out to Rebel. She was a very entertaining part of Dr. Brit Baker's heel group along with Jamie Hayter in early AEW. Truly heartbreaking 💔😞 #AEW

Happy anniversary to the greatest promo ever cut by any wrestler of any era. Forget hard times and the pipebomb. Steiner Math is the GOAT.

Bringing back this banger

These guys are in the same league in the same way that Kevin Durant and Joakim Noah once were.

Unacceptable. They gotta tone it down.

Everyone, stop what you’re doing. There is a Black girl named Kameirah who is in Google’s top 5 “Doodle for Google” contest that can win a $55,000 scholarship. I just voted. VOTING CLOSES TOMORROW APRIL 29! doodles.google.com/d4g/

These kids are smart, but they took phonological awareness out the curriculum. This and parents not reading with their children is what drastically changed America's literacy rate. This is why I do what I do. Not too much on my kiddos. ❤️

Australia is proposing to tax digital giants Meta, Google and TikTok a proportion of their revenue to pay for news reporters.

A neuroscience study showed that Gen Z is the first generation to develop less cognitively than their parents. Ever. In history. And it’s just getting worse. They believe the full transition to technology was the factor.

Starting to see people reach out to Companies on LinkedIn for help because their Customer Service is that bad….

It’s the little things like this that make a city truly great to live in.

The Best Place in the World. #BookSky

I don’t enjoy social media anymore.

The thing about UK-based crime dramas is that when all the exceptional dialogue and very serious acting eventually gets to a trial, everyone looks like this 😅

Just features. That’s why I’ve always found this “Nicki is the goat” conversation to be silly. She struggles to put together good albums. Just like *****

When she was on features

Pedro Pascal, Florence Pugh, Edward Norton and Sam Worthington have joined the open letter signed by over 2,000 people in Hollywood opposing the Warner Bros & Paramount merger

I am endlessly confused by people who reply & tell me pro wrestling is "fake" like what year do you think this is?

Going to get some great images from NASA in the coming days. Here’s a couple of post-splashdown snaps of actual heroes.

Good morning, everyone. Group hug! ❤️ Photo: The Artemis II crew after they looped around the far side of the moon and started for home. ABC news.

Wishing you and yours a very merry Confederate Surrender Day.

some people you can recruit, other people you have to simply defeat. politics makes more sense when you accept this

Hobbies that don’t include screens>>>>

gambling should be broadly legal but you should have to place all bets in person, it shouldn’t even be possible over the phone. if you want to bet on missile strikes, you should have to look another person in the face and say it out loud while a line of people behind you gets audibly angry at you

ICE has kept a disabled double amputee prisoner for over 14 months. Rodney Taylor has been denied access to his prosthetic legs. Forced to crawl across dirty floors to access food. Placed in solitary. Denied medical accommodations. They’re killing him & he needs the community to make noise!

when i encounter people who say AI has a specific use in their chosen field, i trust them. there's plenty of evidence that LLMs have uses. but i will never use one for what I do. It would be a professional and creative death sentence.

Happy 81st Birthday to the great Linda Hunt, Oscar-winning veteran character actress, celebrated for roles in POPEYE, THE YEAR OF LIVING DANGEROUSLY, DUNE, SILVERDO, KINDERGARTEN COP, THE RELIC, STRANGER THAN FICTION, THE PRACTICE, CARNIVALE, NCIS: LOS ANGELES, THE CHERRY ORCHARD (stage), and more.

It’s not just Ms. Rachel. The biggest names in children’s educational programming are coming out in force to call for kids to be freed from ICE detention. Here’s “Reading Rainbow” host @mychal3ts.bsky.social outside the Dilley Immigration Processing Center.

Two years after surgery and had my second annual set of scans. No signs of cancer.

I really can't recommend Aldi enough to people who find themselves bursting into tears at the grocery store over food prices. I somehow got almost two weeks of groceries for $146 today, including canned drinks. Yes, it was more beans and pasta than usual, but getting out for under $150 was magical.

And if nobody else has said it lately, I’m proud of you, and I’m glad you’re still here. 🫶🏾

She has a face you start a war for

My brain can process how he did some of these things independently but not at the same time. No qualms about the girlfriends or the cornhole as there’s a visual right there. I could accept the driving. But how did he pull out the gun while driving? How did he use it? Potentially while driving??

Started playing this video, and a pot of black-eyed peas appeared on my stove.

This is from the era of my older brother. That man has a small aluminum foil of coke, a razor or two and a .22
