He just wants one because Obama got one. And even the Nobel secretary later admitted it was dumb to give Obama one. They’re not giving Trump shit.

In 1857, Thomas Howland became Providence, RI's first Black elected official.

Later that year, he decided to emigrate to Liberia with his wife & daughter after the Dred Scott case denied Black people protections of U.S. citizenship. He was denied a passport.

Thomas Howland, 1856
John Blanchard

Portrait of a distringuished Black man from the 19th centrure wearing fine clothes, including high collar and tie of the day.
Museum Text:
Thomas Howland, the subject of this unusually expressive portrait, was a dock worker in Providence, Rhode lsland, In 1857 he became the city's first Black elected oficial when he was amed warden of its Third Ward. However, that same year he decided to emigrate to Liberia with his wite and daughter, perhaps in response to the recent Supreme Court decision in the Dred Scott case that denied African Americans the protections of U.S. citizenship. Because of this decision, Howland's application for a passport was denied, despite his status as a free man with the right to vote in his home state (he did eventually make it to Liberia). Howland's confident posture echoes that of the earlier Portrait of a Gentleman shown nearby, the fashionable attire of both sitters serving to reinforce thelir self-possession.

The thing about big restaurant chain food is that the entire business model requires cooking to become deskilled labor.

You need to deskill labor in order to make employment precarious, to make it easy to drop an employee for any reason you want.

So restaurants will buy bags of pre-cut onions, pre-cut lettuce, pre-formed burger patties, etc.

Cooking becomes "empty these bags into the bowl. Press this button."

Because this is a threat to the person paid to do it.

One factor that impedes a lot of young people's attempt to learn home cooking, if they didn't get a foundation at home, is that fast food joints use custom tools, mechanized processes, and strict formulas for how to Make Official Thingy, so they don't learn how to use home kitchens or adapt recipes.

In the pursuit of deskilling the labor as much as possible in order to exploit restaurant workers as much as possible, the big chains fuck over everyone involved.

If the first place you learn to cook is a Mick D's, you lose a lot of the real understanding of food science and flavor tinkering. Home cooking needs a lot of experimentation and hands on experience to know the smells, colors, and textures you need.

That makes a lot of sense. Because folks tend to use it for creative purposes. They don’t give a fuck about the artistry behind it; they just want the feeling of saying “fuck you, I can do it too and I hope it wrecks you.”

I still think the most accurate and consistent way to think about generative AI is that, in every instance, people exclusively use it for tasks that they don't have any respect for or give a shit about.

Rev. David Black stood in front of a Chicago-area ICE facility and began to pray.

The masked ICE agents on the roof responded by firing pepper balls, with one striking him in the head
