My good sir, your own business proposition has been lay off, demoralize and threaten. You’re kind of the politics that’s demolishing those laboratories and classrooms. Those kids know that. Watch what you do, not what you say kind of thing.

If ours was a world where AI (the ideology, politic, and tech) were, uh, asking these graduates to shape AI this might resonate. But it’s not. Look, you cannot go out and market your new corporate monopoly widget as the death kneel to American workers and then ask new workers to be excited.

This is a composite of the Moon, Mars, and Earth I made. The Moon and Earth are from Artemis II, and Mars is from the Psyche mission. Each image was taken *in the last six weeks*

"On island after island, Europeans & their pathogens killed the natives, slave ships appeared on the horizon, & cane sprouted in the fields. Streams of survivors crawled forth from slave ships to replinish the cane-field work gangs of men and women as they died. But enslavers grew fabulously rich."

If you wanted someone to get to know you, what horror movie would you show them?

Any mention of abandoning the South just tells me you don't have Black friends, don't like Black people and should not be taken seriously

The only child in me sees it this way "Oh you want some fries? Let me go buy you your own that way we can both have fries" it's our version of sharing

THE EVIL DEAD is the platonic ideal of white people making bad decisions in a horror movie

me: "Hellooo my beautiful baby!" 😻 my cat: "Why are you talking to me?"

There's a major civil rights protest taking place in Selma, Alabama, right now in response to the SCOTUS decision that weakened the Voting Rights Act and the ongoing attack on Black Americans’ political power (video: defiancedispatch/IG)

Cool video of the Artemis II Orion capsule separating from the European Service Module. This footage is from the GoPro HERO4 Black cameras installed on the ESM's solar arrays. The wobble in the second shot is from the jolt imparted to the ESM as Orion separates. Credit: NASA

Slandering grits is anti black. Idc. Idc.

another album I sorely underrated. i always preferred Sky Blue Sky, but now it's clear i didn't give Yankee Hotel Foxtrot enough attention music.youtube.com/watch?v=-IKQ...

Watching a series of former Confederate states rush to eliminate any vestige of black representation in the House pretty much answers the question whether the Voting Rights Act was still necessary.

So "don't feed the trolls" usually means "don't feed the trolls content to keep them going" but sometimes I think it maybe also means "don't feed the trolls to one's followers" (by e.g. boosting a particularly bad take for others to see).
