So, there's a quote that's been floating around for over 10 years, used even by people who read, attributed to WEB Du Bois that was really from a ni**a named Vann whose Twitter handle was Webbie Du Bois so this is completely unsurprising and why I need us to preserve physical media.

AI is being used to fabricate quotes and attribute them to real people, Yair Rosenberg reports. Here's what he did when it happened to him:

Don’t Believe What AI Told You I Said

And stuff like this is why I:

1. Rebuke Meta in its entirety.

2. Am even more cynical and cautious about engagement online.

It's growing ever more difficult to know wtf is real out here anymore. This is beyond bizarre and disturbing.

Throw the whole interwebs away...

AOL Messenger paired with the regional chat rooms...hot mess! Pure unseriousness. But...WOW...you just took me way back with the site builder name drop. Angelfire for the site,and if I recall correctly, Bravenet for the forum. It was serious business! LOL

Aug 11th was the 52nd anniversary of Cindy Campbell's back-to-school jam, where her big brother DJ Kool Herc looped break beats using a two turntable set up.

In honor of hip hop's birthday, share the song(s) you would start with if you were teaching hip hop 101. (And why??)

That realization...revelation is a huge step! When I finally woke up, I took to calling my ex-husband a blackhole. All effort and care just gets sucked into the void. You can't fill a void. That was a major turning point for me.

I hold two different types of grudges.

I either forget you exist... which is truly for your safety...

or...

Will despise you until the end of this life and well into the next one...

Tropical Storm #Erin has formed near the Cabo Verde Islands 🌀

Likely to become 2025’s first Atlantic hurricane, Erin could track into the Gulf or recurve into the Atlantic. After it moves past the Antilles this weekend, the forecast is uncertain. One to watch.

By continuously trying to fuck with us (read: black homeowners) at your own peril, you ensure those chickens will in fact come home to roost.

It looks a lot like corporations owning most of your real estate and not even being able to move laterally in a market you've incorporated bias into.
