the web is already decentralized.

It’s the least technical of all the solutions in the market now, with an intuitive workflow and built in distribution. Also, most writers are not tinkerers, and don’t want to be.

We need to float some fake aave term just to see this clowns do what clowns do best.

Tomorrow is women's R&B day from 7am - 7pm PST. Send suggestions.

They were a call to action, to build a community grounded in justice and mutual care. In that way, his vision was deeply protosocialist, confronting the hierarchies of his time with a love that demanded liberation.

Jesus stood with the poor, allegedly healed the sick, and spoke against those who hoarded wealth and power. His teachings weren’t about passive faith;

Making Trump the central figure in all this, instead of the conditions that created his ascent is a mistake.

Brooklyn. Have you seen this lady? Her family fears that she may have been picked up by ICE.

Igbo men are my kryptonite, unfortunately.

It's not the apps. It's the raw ingredients, which are all anti-black. If you do not do the work to address as much of it going in, you will not get anything that is not anti-black. Even the AT protocol is anti-black.

Part of why I rarely posted before the election even though I had an account since the rate limit thing with Twitter in 2023 is I felt like on some level this app would repeat Jack's mistakes of not taking bigotry seriously

It’d be nice to have a single place on the internet where black people or trans people or indigenous people or any queer people can simply exist free from tech doofuses and power-mad Karens with nothing on the ball but heads full of air but thats too much like right, I guess

As long as we live in an antiblack world, where the raw ingredients of this reality are conscripted to form this world's order, the finished goods will also be antiblack. EVEN IF you are a Black person forming those goods.

Suspending Link after he pointed out the how following Jonathan Chait after being accused of transphobia does not allow you to beat the transphobia allegations. In fact, it does the opposite. To be clear: suspending Link was certainly a choice. And we know what KIND of choice it is.

It's e wa jeun Sunday. I'm making greens, two kinds of cornbread, banana bread, tofu, egg bite casserole, maybe moin moin, baked spicy-sweet chicken, and jollof rice.

Generative artificial intelligence has compromised this group learning project called humanity. I'm very grieved about this.

fuck himmy kibble and this entire imperial project

Given how Facebook first started as a glorified hot-or-not database, Meta glasses is a logical conclusion of the idea.

There is a Black woman defending her use of substack, despite their platforming of white supremacists, because.... they allow... white supremacist views... and that somehow means they have an expansive definition of acceptable speech.

Can someone tell me how much the instant bustelo cost before 2020?

“The way people treat you is a reflection of the way that they see you. The way you let people treat you is a reflection of how you see yourself.”

I switched over to Black on Both sides and I feel like I really need to ditch scrolling and go back to just listening to music from when it was actually good.

In response to the dismantling of the CDC, California, Oregon, and Washington have launched the West Coast Health Alliance, which will make their own science-based vaccine guidelines, and make sure vaccines are accessible to everyone.

"So damn demagogued" is a bar

Zohran wants universal childcare for everyone in this city and I hear people who NEED this asking 'OK but how will he pay for this?' I'm like 'bitch I haven't heard your ridiculous ass ask ONCE how the city is paying 11 BILLION A YEAR FOR COPS.' NOT ONCE. So damn demagogued.

When I say Steven Miller will face no tribunals etc, many people are furious at me. But I am correct because the current system would have to evaporate for this to happen and there's little evidence that people want to fully destroy the system. They want to tweak it.

I don’t think we should be discussing how North West dresses when we can go directly to the root of the issue. Preteens are dressing like adults cause there’s no preteen media. There’s no Hannah Montana, MK &A who also had clothing lines. There’s pop & reality stars and when your mama is one well

Reminder to self: Being in a position to pay your bills is a blessing.

I have good news for you!

Fun things to know about me: 1) I'm always (always, always, always) talking from and towards a Black center; b) I believe in the inherent honor of all Black people and their spirits; iii) I behave as a spirit first.

I have had at least a dozen conversations this year with otherwise intelligent people who say they know the genocide in Occupied Palestine isn't a genocide because "if it was, it wouldn't be allowed."

The answer to "how is this allowed?" is always "who is going to stop it?"

Most Americans genuinely believe there's some grand overarching force that stops illegal things from happening. That's the truth. We think there's a Boss who says "I won't allow this" and are genuinely surprised when an illegal or unfair thing happens anyway.

Really rather surreal watching the optimism of Americans who think they can wait until their 2026 midterms to try and save themselves when their neighbours are already being kidnapped off the streets in broad daylight and their cities are being captured by militarized forces.

Anyway, I believe that we can defeat our opponents over time. I'm committed to doing my part.

Being Black is so exhausting. You're just existing and you're automatically evil until proven otherwise

Get you friends who will text you at weird o'clock in the morning because they read something cool, thought of you, and know insomnia kicking your ass so you'll be up anyway. 💕

Plauge 3.0 is called SARS COV-2 and it's still alive. Wear yo masks bredren.

Why saying "Free Palestine" isn't antisemitic. "It involves rejecting the politics of ethnic supremacy, or an ethnostate, and instead embracing a future based on equality and justice for everyone." By @abemarquez.bsky.social The full story: lataco.com/opinion-shat...

Well this is… mildly disappointing. Partially because it’s just giving up in the face of rising AI integration (which is ethically lazy imo), and also because it doesn’t make sense. Why do YOU specifically need firsthand experience with a service that’s already being studied and used by millions?

Because they understand that you get more social grace, respect and consideration when you’re considered attractive. #uncomfortabletruths

I like that. I know many people have tried to replace "AI" with "machine learning", which is more technically accurate. But that inadvertently makes it sound smarter to the average person, while artificial intelligence makes it sound like you've lost your marbles. 😉

I'm starting a movement. Every time you, or someone you know, gives AI agency, replace it with "Big Tech". See for example: "Big Tech" is killing my job. "Big Tech" is reading my CT scan. "Big Tech" is writing my paper. I asked "Big Tech" to be my girlfriend. Maybe that will speed up regulation.

"Uprisings [...] were sabotaged by one person or groups of people who feared freedom more than they feared their oppressor. Their reasoning was often that they didn’t want to get into trouble; therefore, they accepted their depraved condition instead." prismreports.org/2025/08/21/o...

So Seth Godin doesn't fly in part because of his concerns about the climate, but has integrated generative artificial intelligence in his writing practice. And this is typical of the tech industry's unwillingness to attend to the systems of inequality beyond their own performances.

Gavin Newsom is a genuinely bad person - who once tried to pick up my wife! - and he is also extremely good at trolling Trump. Both of these things are true. He should not, and will not, be the Democratic nominee in 2028, but since we’re stuck with the man in California, let the sonofabitch cook.

the democrats need goons, not goofs.

I hope this helps someone: Regardless of your intention when using AI, it doesn't change the processes involved in using it, which include excessive consumption of water & other finite energy sources and data centers that are placed in vulnerable communities, polluting both people and land.
