Elizabeth Booker Houston (@bookersquared) on Threads This white lady said, "Payment for me, but not for thee," and @wired is so wrong for just flat out lying about myself and others.

Oh and one of the women in the @wired article ( who is also chronicling the racism in DC and attacks on Black politicians... surprise no one spoke to her)

She mentions specifically anti genocide creators being mischaracterized sooooo yeah this is ugly

"We use coding agents like junior developers".

Cool. So you get the dual benefits of it being slower than an experienced developer to get a half-decent result *and* it never learns.

Bargain!

the to-go cup a paid ad[actor]???

(And underlining “matzah ballers” at that… abeg.

reminds me of how STRIKING and full of heart and MOVING the bar mitzvah was in Agatha, for William’s episode—and how I immediately clocked, THEN, “hmmmm…this doesn’t HAVE to be, but it MIGHT give a lil z-“

the discussion of vets describing how to resists, lawyers being arrested in DC , Black women on Fed Charges for immigrants

those aren't exciting
Lululemon moms cussing out ICE ain't fun to yall
Boston/ Philly/Mississippi white boys recommending antiracism

Isn't sexy to you

But it works

teh stumbling we're seeing is because nobody wants to admit that DEI

was a fancy way of saying

"Talk to people , listen valuing them as people and use the resources extract from them to allow them to prosper with real recognition of what brought us to this point"

and we DID NOT DO IT

The question isn't why Dem/ liberal/ progressive comms fail

That's actually really easy

Dem- corporate malfeasance and collusion
liberal- empty racism
progressive- virulent racism masked in radical reading lists with AGGRESSIVE amnesiac misogyny

the question is whose doing good ANYWAY

Having a "Dem Influencer article" about sup a secret comes et al would actually mean something if you put in work

because we do have "good" and have for a while

Katie Porter
Zohran Mamdani
Jasmine Crockett

yall focus on teh influencers and the assholes for YOU not comms

The fact that "identifying AI use" is a market is so symptomatic of technofascism--invent something nobody wants and sell them how to detect what they don't want.

I like having a general moral compass of

" The minute I keep portraying everything as a conspiracy or stupidity"

I am agreeing with your average fascist and should reconsider.

But I also don't think being the smartest person in the room is a goal, because all that tells me is the room sucks

Welp it’s gotten real real if you can please help. If you can’t it’s really hard out here so share

YouTube video by Total - Topic Rock Track

for example: youtu.be/cNmvbRUwPUE?...

Missy did her GOODT production and writing on total’s second album.

A pika sits on a mossy rock.

Tighter crop of the same pika, focusing on its head.

An even tighter crop, focusing more on the pika's eye.

An extremely tight crop of the pika's eye, emphasizing their reflection of an early morning mountain scene.

"Pat, why do you carry that ridiculous 600mm lens on long hikes?"

Buddy, I can see mountains reflected in the eyes of a trailside pika.

Remember, Tolkien didn't start working on "The Hobbit" until he was 41 years old. It started as tales for his children that took over 4 years to complete, and he finally published it at the age of 45.

It is never too late to start working on something that truly calls to you.

Embrace your passion.

skip the lawsuit and inevitable ‘free 1 year of identity protection’ and just bump all our credit ratings by 100 points, you incompetent grifters you.

ICE agent

🚨ICE agents are racially profiling and arresting Hispanic drivers in the DC area today, targeting work vehicles like trucks and vans. A friend who was targeted sent me video today. Here’s a picture that shows one of two agents before he pulled on his mask. Unmarked black Ford truck, plate: NTV9211.

Yall sold it.

I’m just not buying that all these big ass institutions are getting hacked. Yall selling all our info and nothing will convince me otherwise.

Creators “can’t opt out of AI training” and “Google does not compensate them” for said use.

Last year “…more than 490,000 jobs supported by YouTube’s creative ecosystem.”

Creators dealing with “people who are using AI to re-create their channels, cutting into their revenue and brand recognition.”

No notes, tbh.

The Ivies stink.

Skyline cleanse.. his name is Emmanuel Savary…🔥🔥🔥

The difference between Zuckerberg and Apple, of course, is that Apple has a solid record of creating products that people will actually pay for. Zuckerberg has yet to produce anything that a critical number of consumers give enough of a damn about to buy.

A huge unexpected gut punch in this article was seeing that the cemetery I did a class project at as a kid is doing these AI obituaries now. In less than a generation we’re seeing this kind of religious devotion to scam technology promoted over the very essence of our humanity and history

the argument that AI in the context of art is “just a tool” completely elides the fact that the point of art is to participate in the fucking process of making it

There's never enough demand. It's usually falisified for the sake of raising money (remembering Facebook and "the pivot to video")

Love when this topic gets woken up. Growing my hair out this past year has shown me how many hangups me & so many other Black men have about our hair.

IMO there’s a lot of healing yet to be done, but awareness is the first step! We deserve to know that we’re worthy regardless of how our hair looks.

This is incredible

Not them trying to soft launch a “it’s the negroes fault” again
