White people disgusted by this racist display are making pithy jokes in the replies. I want acknowledgment that it’s physically painful to think about our black elders, in particular, enduring the consequences of a Supreme Court decision that augurs a return to the Jim Crow era.

WILL COCAINE MAKE COLLEGE OBSOLETE?

"If deployed across hundreds of millions or billions of devices, the total emissions impact of simply distributing the file (not even using it) could reach tens of thousands of tons of CO2 equivalent, an amount similar to the annual output of tens of thousands of cars."

“Forcing”

Pierre Bourdieu once argued that the question of whether something is art isn't answered by the artist's intention or even the object itself. Instead, the quality of being "art" is conferred by a community — curators, dealers, auction houses, audiences, etc. 🧵

Just hours before the 2026 #MetGala, hundreds gathered in the Meatpacking District to watch people walk down a different red carpet in custom couture. The "Ball Without Billionaires" - a runway show co-hosted by fashion stylist Gabriella Karefa-Johnson and 'Abbott Elementary' actress Lisa Ann Walter

While the world’s eyes are on fashion’s biggest night, we’re turning ours to the garment, retail, and warehouse workers who keep the industry running. From true love found on the picket line to a free tailoring school out of a Brooklyn basement — meet the New Yorkers who make it all possible.

Muscadines are easy! you can get them in Chinatown Flushing and Manhattan - I haven't tried Sunset Park) in late August. Apparently, they're similar to certain kinds of grapes grown in China/Japan so they stock them. Pawpaw I only had once at a farmer's market in Chappaqua in... September maybe?

Chris smalls has been arrested at the MET Gala, now more than ever worker solidarity is so important. For decades propaganda has been fed to us to keep the working class subservient to corporate overlords. We are worth more than they pay us. Remember that! Credits: @_meganthuy

Secondly, the dominant workforce that has done field labor in this country has almost never been seen as fully human. We did a whole civil war on this. And in the aftermath sharecropping replaced that. The nationwide rise of immigrant farmworkers has a direct link to the Civil Rights movement.

I am once again tapping the "it is a genuine qualitative break from 99.9% of human history that society can now produce massive food surpluses with the labor only a tiny percent of the population and nobody has any idea how to grasp this" sign.

Anne Hathaway, you will ALWAYS be that girl. 💙💛

2026 is going to be the hottest year on record, exceeding 1.5C, James Hansen says. Not 2027. If he’s right, we’ll have to ask if global warming is accelerating even more than expected. www.newscientist.com/article/2525...

In which we learn Radical Republicans of the 1850s had a suite of court reforms that had they been implemented would have ensured enforcement of the Reconstruction amendments&prevented Jim Crow. These are, of course, as relevant today as 170 years ago because Reconstruction is USA’s Groundhog Day.

In 2004, I obtained mifepristone for a medical abortion at age 16 without parental consent. It required I stand shaking, unrepresented before a judge and argue for my own worth, intelligence, and future. If anyone thinks this is going down without a fight, they are sadly fucking mistaken.

must be nice

This is today! Today is the day!

The Academy has banned AI from ever winning an Oscar. • Only roles “demonstrably performed by humans with their consent” can be nominated for acting Oscars • Screenplays “must be human-authored” to qualify for a nomination

Collars and bells on outdoor cats should be mandatory - cats are THE greatest threat to bird populations in the US.

Horrifying. People should stop feeding feral cats and keep their pet cats indoors.

Happy May Day from Walter Crane

No one "deserves" billions of dollars. But we ALL deserve: -Safe and affordable homes. -Healthcare. -Clean air and water. -Nutritious food. Tax billionaires. Deliver for everyone.

Revocation of FDA approval of mifepristone—the abortion pill that is the reason why illegal abortions aren’t causing mass death post-Dobbs—is almost certainly coming in early 2027.

"The USDA's actions reduced the number of women on the 77-member board to five, the lowest level in at least a decade. Women make up more than a third of U.S. farmers but have historically held a smaller share of leadership roles in commodity groups."

We are the many. The billionaires are the few. International Workers Day is this Friday, May 1st and we’re taking to the streets with THOUSANDS of New Yorkers to say loud and clear: worker rights are immigrant rights! 🗓️ Friday, May 1 ⏰ 4 PM 📍 Washington Square Park

France plans to ditch all fossil fuels by 2050. “France announced a ‘first of its kind’ plan to phase out coal by 2030, oil by 2045 & gas by 2050…The roadmap was published as dozens of nations gather for the first-ever international talks on how to transition away from planet-heating fossil fuels.”

My favorite Sam Neil fact will always be that he designed a future Australian flag that replaces the union jack with the aboriginal flag for Event Horizon and insisted the film use it.

This is a modern-day Lost Cause campaign to once again white-wash our origin story, erase the true history of the myriad of people who helped build this nation, justify genocide/ slavery by painting an idyllic, racist portrait of an America that never was. You do so to justify the horrors to come.

Unlike food influencers with brand deals and pricey ingredients, these creators destigmatize seeking support from food pantries, clipping coupons, and cooking frugal dinners.

"Reinvent Albany has called out the deal as 'the largest government subsidy ever recorded within the United States,' prompting questions about how much public money goes to projects that don’t create meaningful jobs for communities." www.fastcompany.com/91532920/jpm...

/4 DoJ recruits selectively, trains fairly intensively, and demands a high level of writing. So to see DoJ product that looks like a YouTube comment is freakish and shocking. Even if all of that was a pretense (and I think it’s more complicated than that), abandonment of the pretense is horrifying.

In this #newblogpost I extend my arguments about the (im)possibility of decolonial GenAI. I specifically focus on the points of divergence between GenAI reliance on colonial structures of flattening what makes us human and decolonisation's refusal of those structures folukeafrica.com/being-human-...

GRASS ROOTS AGITATION IS THE ONLY HOPE

Hold on. We the taxpayers are going to pay companies $900 million, which is more than 6x what we spend on wind power R&D, to NOT build wind power at a time when electricity prices are spiking and we need more clean power?

there is something genuinely clarifying and useful about this kind of stuff. they are totally hoods off and proud of it, which means we should not hesitate to describe them accordingly
