This is in response to the picture below and a story about Jamaicans embracing solar power. Jaqueline Hazelton is an adjunct in an international studies program at Stanford, which is terrifying.

40 years ago we’d have congressional hearings falsely accusing metal bands of putting backwards messages in their songs that told kids to kill themselves & now we have a planet-killing chatbot that’s all like “bet you won’t commit suicide chickenshit bitch” & the government is like here’s $5 billion

Watching reaction videos to "Drop It Low..." never gets old. Glad y'all are enjoying. 😂😂😂

😂😂😂 @zo3hree5ive.com get in here

A real man for real

This really hasn’t gotten enough attention this week. @wired.com #ICE www.wired.com/story/fbi-wa...

THIS is y'all MAYOR?????????????

Breaking the 12 year long GOP supermajority in Mississippi seems like a big deal. A bunch of Black women mayors seems like a big deal. Can’t wait for the hot “How Democrats winning is bad news for Democrats” takes.

People are like "This is so great!" But ask yourself WHICH voters wouldn't know that you can't vote in local elections for other states... The other side was sending GOTV messaging, too. The penny will drop eventually.

What happens when you distill 2025 into a single social media post? This. This is what you get.

LOL... I know Eric Adams is so salty wherever he is tonight. Busta.

As of this morning, Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program (AKA: SNAP, Food Stamps or EBT) recipients STILL have not received their benefits. Meaning, they are unable to buy food. Because I h been both a SNAP recipient and a state caseworker who processed SNAP applications, I thought I should do

This, if anything, is what's going to ultimately push the right to figure some shit out.

Damn, Teen Vogue has low key been some of the best political reporting of the last 8 years.

"Why doesn't the Dem gubernatorial candidate for Virginia take a page from --" THIS IS NOT NEW YORK

And in the NYC election cycle, all we hear is how comparable it is to the national executive role, just at a smaller scale, but larger than many countries. No NYC mayor in my lifetime has left the job with an approval that merits being a Senator, let alone President.

I'm so glad the election is tomorrow so everybody who don't live in NY can shut up about what's going on here and what NY'ers need to do. Y'all have been exhausting.

Y'all remember the scene at the very end of Montell Jordan's "On Tonight" video where he's looking in the fridge and singing the song to himself, closes the fridge door and ol' girl is standing there staring him down? That def happened in "their" kitchen with "Wasn't Man Enough" today.

We have progressed from data collection to data analysis.

Jordan's face during Megan's announcement... The cameras really ain't shit for that. #LoveIsBlind

Actually, seeing a man of color, getting scared, and calling The Police, is pretty typical racist behavior

My 8yo told me she had a dream that she went "taco treating," which is where you go door to door and people give you tacos

As a reminder, when you dont get snap benefits, you can steal right in front of me and no you didnt. 🫶

Here’s a little joy for you because we all need it

(consistently)

The screams from all the girls (me included) when New Edition popped up on the screen in the movie theater was next level #KrushGroove40 #GenX #NE4Life

I’m sorry. You can’t call the other party the nazi party while defending your candidate with the nazi tattoo.

You ever heard of Julie Dash? Some of you undoubtedly have,but quite a few I'd imagine not. Julie Dash is the first Black woman (ever) to have a full-length film with a theatrical release in the United States. In 1991. There's a book as well. Julie Dash turns 73 years old today

The #LoveIsBlind weddings go exactly how y'all think they're gonna go

The White House is asking people not to share pictures of the East Wing because it’s even worse today.

The one week it's damn near impossible for me to go see it.

Anyway, these are some of my thoughts as a Black person who white people love to argue with. I've been asking white people to own their shit for literally over a decade. Despite everything else that might have shifted, the answer to that has remained a firm "no thanks".

It's actually a very hard sell when you think about it this way. Even white people who consider themselves pretty progressive don't actually wanna do these things. Sure they want to reduce harm in some ways. But not if it means they can't see themselves as automatically good.

For those folks, accepting Black people's view of the world would require them to: 1) Accept responsibility for the legacy of white supremacist harm. 2) Be accountable as part of the culture that continues to perpetuate that harm. 3) Stop doing self-serving things that harm Black people.

Those are just two of the reasons. Obviously there are a lot more that have to do with bigotry and such. But let's assume we're talking about the people who consider themselves to be on the right side of things. Those folks love to argue with Black people too.

Let me be less vague. For a certain type of person: 1) It's safer to argue with Black people than to actually confront white supremacy. 2) It's incredibly threatening to consider that the world might be how Black people say it is rather than what you've always been taught. bsky.app/profile/polo...

$40 or $50 was light work. I still want reparations for my college phone bills. I had my registration blocked EVERY semester for an overdue phone bill.

I'm gonna stop saying "this is what y'all voted for" (even though we need to accept that a LARGE number of Americans did very much vote for this) and instead say what I really mean: This is what y'all refused to vote *against*

How bizarre is it that the folks who struggled with social interactions as adolescents now control the mechanisms by which people interact, socially?

Cause of that damn phone!

For @spitfirenews.com, I found that increasingly realistic AI-generated videos are being deployed to harass, smear, and create endless offensive content of influencers, whose likenesses are already readily available online. It’s happening to private figures, too. spitfirenews.com/p/ai-generat...

Thanks for this prompt! Don’t know how long it’ll be up, but I’m watching it here: youtu.be/_rKGCEfWvyM?...

Finally watching Devil's Pie... D'Angelo was PENTECOSTAL Pentecostal.

Oh come on, Dawn supposed to be the safe one! I use it for MAD THINGS

If America dies, her epitaph will read, "They wanted whiteness more than they wanted a country." No wonder so many of you still socialize with your GOP families and friends: you think they sort of have a point. You tell Black people to set race aside while clinging desperately to it yourselves.

There are so many ways to remember D’Angelo. So I wrote about him from the grief living in our home state. No person has ever embodied the phrase “Virginia Is Lovers” more. andscape.com/features/dan...

Been dreaming of this for a decade. 🙏🏽

Nick and Annie are a TRAINWRECK. She's drunk to deal with the fact that she knows this man don't like her, and he's just repeating a select loop of phrases over and over again. #LoveIsBlind
