I've gotten a lot of new followers. Hi!
Some basics:

I'm 40+ and Black, which means I operate on a bare minimum of fucks.
I love music, anime, reading books (including comic books), & video games (The Sims and FFXIV in particular).
I love museums.
Trying to get back into my gym rat routine.

Yes! The future is not already settled. In fact, actual serious people (not tech bros or acolytes) are majorly calling into question every aspect of "AI" on a deep level. I compiled 18 pages worth of links to help resist "AI is inevitable" propaganda: docs.google.com/document/d/1...

Asking ChatGPT to give a rundown of you is something that has got to be studied.

Self awareness and accountability be totally damned to hell.

“Vote for the Black Woman just not THAT Black Woman” strikes yet again chat—-anyway let me remind everyone who cannot cast a vote in this state that there is a primary that we will ALL vote in. If Talerico is the best for the job he’ll secure the nom.

How many racist tropes can you count in this post? I stopped counting at 7.
Jasmine Crockett is not doing what's best for Texas and progressives from around the country need to talk to Texans before they act.

a bigoted lefty will find every trick in the book not to elect a woman just as much as a magat will work overtime to do the same.
I understand it Barack 😭😭💀💀
MICHELLE OBAMA, on whether a woman can get elected president:

“.. sadly, we ain’t ready. That’s why I’m like: don’t even look at me about running ‘cause you all are lying. You’re not ready for a woman. We got a lot of growing up to do ..”

Because based on what I've seen on the internet over the last decade, let's say we turn a branch of congress blue. By March folks will be like "47's still doing stuff! XYZ is still broken! this is why congress is useless"

And it's going to follow the path that US politics always follows: one administration will build, one will block and destroy, one will build, one will block and destroy.

But none of it's gonna work if people continue to sit home.

I hope people understand that we're far past just setting shit 47 has knocked over back upright. This will be rebuilding: NEW legislation, new institutional knowledge, new case law even. This will take decades. Not 4 years, not 8.
Once he IS GONE, it will take a while but we will have a semblance of normalcy again. Kind of like what happened after he left the 1st time. But this time hopefully things will be put in place so we do not Ever go through this nightmare again.

Okay but where is this recipe that has the pale delegation getting a case of the vapors?
Someone shares a delicious take on green bean casserole...
White people in the comments:

"Too much seasoning. All you need is salt and pepper."

"It should be drier than that."

"Why are you adding mushrooms & bacon?"

"Condensed soup is better than homemade roux and sauce."

The only national holidays Black people actually celebrate are MLK Day & Juneteenth.

We don’t “celebrate” those other days…we simply enjoy the paid day off with some good company & some good food.

Stop conflating the two.
