Black America, watching all the horrors we warned y’all about

So now, SEVEN MONTHS after he joined, Talib has decided to try to discredit Rudy & the misogynoir label. But all Rudy was doing was respecting users who labeled Talib based on his documented history. There's no conspiracy, Rudy is an incredibly even handed moderator as all Blacksky users know.

This is all real.
I was a big fan of Taleib Kweli & Black Star but I had to put it down after seeing this foolishness.
If you are also a fan, read this before you cape for him. There are actual receipts.

Years, this man was doing this for YEARS

So long that when this started, I took a two year break from twitter and when I logged back in HE WAS STILL GOING

Also, didn't the blockchain bubble give way to this current GenAI bubble? I mean, it's definitely being used, but in very specific problem spaces, not nearly the widespread usage we were once promised, before GenAI came along and distracted everyone from that bubble bursting.

Slowly rolling out the new suite of Blacksky tools... ⏳
- @blackskyweb.xyz People's Assembly: We'll use this tool to gather feedback and collectively govern Blacksky, democratically
- Login using your atproto account (bsky.social, blacksky.app, w.e.)
- Serves as both poll and forum for the community

*gestures broadly at everything* All of this because universities with tens of thousands of students, have had no more than a few dozen of us on campus, at any given semester, since only like the 70s. Maybe 0.1% of the student body??

America constantly tells teachers that they’re supposed to do it for the love of the job, not to get “rich” at 50K. But then you’ve got members of Congress making almost 200K acting like they’ll starve if they can’t do insider trading and manipulate the stock market

As everyone on the Pacific turns their attention to information and parses the meanings of tsunami watch/asvisory/warning, take yet another moment to swear under your breath about how many of our national atmosphere /weather/ ocean / alert systems and institutions have been hollowed out by DOGE

Such good writing! I also just binged the last half of season 2 over the weekend, and now I'm going through withdrawal. Season 3 can't come soon enough!

When you strip away humanity

everyone should listen to @meredithmeredith.bsky.social more

And the saddest part is we knew he would. And yet, here we are

Definitely a sign 😑

FLASHBACK: “I am a goal for those people. If I’m not up there untaxed… they’ve got nothing to dream about.”

Colbert was incredible. Since CBS doesn’t appreciate him maybe he should go back to this genius character? We could sure use it now. 🇺🇸

Wait, The Onion 🧐 ...the line...it's so blurred. I can't find the satire

My university has announced a fund to essentially poach doctoral students from US institutions. DM me if you do work on the history/social impacts of AI and are interested in being poached 😂

important context for headlines like this: Altman also runs a company (Worldcoin) that he claims will solve this problem he also created

Man, this product we made sucks and makes the world so much worse. Please use it.

If only he and others had heeded the warnings for the start. It's not like any of this is new or some big revelation.

I let a goat from my local zoo run SQL commands against prod without protection and it nuked my data

The comments: have you tried this other much smarter goat

Love this 🧵 from @kimcrayton1.bsky.social explaining pay equity in a way most of us techies can understand

make art! if it's the end of the world, you might as well make art! if it's not the end of the world, then the future will be better because people made art right now!

Dr. Kay is hosted by Blacksky servers (as am I) but you still see their post. Decentralization!
I'm writing this post from the new Blacksky app, but you still see the post. Decentralization!

Decentralization without fragmentation is thee innovation of AT Protocol. Not either/or. It's both/and.

The recent #TexasFloods were catastrophic. Meteorologists predicted the storms, but too many folks didn’t get an alert.

The problem wasn’t the tech; it was #DOGE, the overreliance on #AI, & #layoffs of human staff.

Have just realized that the silly “Bezos wants to buy Vogue as a lavish wedding gift for his bride” story that’s been circulating is inaccurate - Bezos wants to buy Condé Nast which owns The New Yorker,Teen Vogue, Wired & Arts Technica because he is an oligarch who wants to crush all dissent.
