Yes the list of included is confusing and I wouldn’t exactly say the artist articulates a strong critique but the video is fun

The artist? I don’t know anything about him?

I know Andy Warhol is like “now why am I in this”

See robotic dogs with human heads causing a scene at Miami art fair | CNN The artist known as Beeple has caused a stir at Art Basel in Miami with an eye-catching new installation. Titled “Regular Animals,” the piece sees Elon Musk, Mark Zuckerberg and Andy Warhol, among oth...

Just feel like you should know that this guys put Zuck, Musky, and Bezos’ heads on the evil robot dogs and they poop surveillance

National parks change prioritizes Trump birthday over days honoring Black people Free entrance days at national parks no longer include MLK Day and Juneteenth.

It might be easy to find things like this merely petty or superficial, but that would be a mistake. Demeaning, erasing or eliminating celebrations or acknowledgments of Black America is straight from Redemption playbook, and is intended to reinforce the racial hierarchy and signal its reinstatement.

Transgender Student-Athlete Lia Smith Remembered as a Friend and Fierce Advocate — Assigned Lia Smith, a 21-year-old trans student-athlete in Vermont, took her own life last week. Her friends, family and community mourn, and remember her as a bright young woman who spoke on behalf of her com...

The death of Lia Smith shook many in the trans community to their cores, while online it seemed like the top priority of non-trans people was to insist there's no proof that the 21-year-old's ban from her beloved swim team caused her suicide.

Re-sharing as it was one of our top stories this year.

The cable, sent to all U.S. missions on December 2, orders U.S. consular officers to review resumes or LinkedIn profiles of H-1B applicants - and family members who would be traveling with them - to see if they have worked in areas that include activities such as misinformation, disinformation, content moderation, fact-checking, compliance and online safety, among others.

Holy shit.

Reuters reporting that new admin instructions on visas are if you worked at a platform in trust & safety or content moderation or on fact checking or online safety at an platform you *and your loved ones* are ineligible for H-1B visa.

Bluesky Wrapped and it's how many times your own joke was explained to you

The Real Way Schools are Failing Boys “If we really want boys to succeed, we need to ensure that they know how to both beat—and lose— to girls."

"the issue isn’t that we need more 'boy-friendly' reforms. It’s that boys are socialized to compete only with boys and to read girls’ success as illegitimate or emasculating. The result is dissonance, resentment, and disengagement for boys—and hostile climates for girls."

It’s always incredible

A Second Sight Since the nation’s founding, Black Americans have had a unique perspective on the U.S. experience—a “second sight”—that reveals the truth about the nation t...

Not yet because the pagination isn't set but here is the general landing page!

Oh man I would be sitting there a bit debating replying with a correction (which is where I’d land) or worrying that would draw more attention to my typo and wishful thinking maybe if I don’t correct myself they won’t notice

A festive flyer for a toy drive features toy blocks, a wooden horse, and a toy truck. It lists gift drop-off dates, address, an online link, and a giveaway event, with "Holiday Season" and "Another World" in bright text.

It's been a very busy day so am getting a late start to inviting any and everyone to support the Another World Toy Drive that I am co-organizing this season.

Yes!!! Thanks for the support!

Omg am so excited about this. Black press is just one segment of mediamakers but has been the blueprint for journalism in service of multiracial democracy for centuries — innovating how to report atrocities, advocating + platforming voices from Asian, LGBTQ, Native communities. Brava, can’t wait!

😂

Also not sure how my twin @chanda.blacksky.app and I only connected the dots a couple weeks ago that our books are coming out two months apart -- but you should totally pre-order both!

Printed them myself! Have to do my read and corrections on paper at this stage.

Three notes:

(1) this NPR piece is bad and dumb. They should be embarrassed.

(2) Everything is "AI" now. The Independent Center doesn't have some fresh new technology that is going to make centrist third-party candidacies suddenly viable. This is just the latest rebrand of a tired playbook.

Trump Pauses All Asylum Applications and Halts Visas for Afghans

NEW: The New York Times got a State Dept. cable telling diplomats to destroy visas that had been approved and printed to give to Afghans. And diplomats are told to do scheduled interviews but not grant visas. US shuts all legal entry routes for Afghans. Our story: www.nytimes.com/2025/11/28/u...

Every single congressional Democrat needs to be out there, right now, insisting that Pete Hegseth resign right now and announcing that he will be held accountable for committing war crimes.

If you do not demand accountability here and now, they will only become more emboldened.

I have a colleague who said as he left the office yesterday, “see you next year” and I said, “do you mean next month?” He said, “no, you won’t see me until January.” I just thought, hmm why not all of us.
