My wife and I were following some parenting advice videos that said: let your children suffer the consequences of their actions and they’ll change their behavior.

Except if you’re Black, letting kids smell or forget school books have much different consequences. We contacted the creator. Crickets.

To paraphrase @tressiemcphd.bsky.social: mid technology cannot exist without the hype.

Which is why the people making it attack folks mocking the bots necessary to support it.

imo AI output should be described as a shoddy product. I think "slop" works nicely for this purpose. for LLMs @alexhanna.bsky.social and @emilymbender.bsky.social use "text extruding machine" and "extruded / synthetic text" which i think are useful and descriptive

the base & mid-level people want to fight, leadership & columnists don't

I think it's fair to suggest that anyone claiming that a British city established by the Romans specifically for access by ship, and that eventually became the hub of a global empire, has recently become "multicultural" is talking bollocks.

The watch commanders to whom inspectors report these failures are often themselves watching television: the problem goes all the way up the jail chain of command.

The Deputies failure to conduct adequate safety checks is shocking but not surprising: it’s a feature of LA County jails.

LASD has said they will not turn on lights or look into cells with obstructed windows. They have told inspectors that the checks are not supposed to ensure that people are alive. Instead, inspectors consistently find deputies watching TV rather than monitoring cells. LASD says this is “in policy.”

This is horrific. A military vet with a mental disability died by suicide in a cell while LASD deputies allegedly fail to conduct a proper safety check and watch TV.

Jail inspectors complain constantly about cursory safety checks. They have watched Deputies ignore a noose.

British (and Scottish) identity must also wrestle with emigration. Our ancestors left and enslaved, colonized, & birthed generations of people taught to revere us. I’m a full-blooded Highlander on my mum’s side and a descendant of Scottish participation in enslavement on my dad’s. Both are British.

Problems with sheriff oversight -- deputies don't have to answer subpoenas and can invoke the 5th. Who could have predicted that installing a bunch of oversight committees would result in....nothing?

This is such a powerful and accurate statement of the experience of survivors and descendants, and also the “good people” approach of the various judges who commended us for making an historical record in court while denying their ability to do anything and asserting the legal version of “move on.”

I did a talk in Cincinnati on the Tulsa Race Massacre (I’m a lawyer for the survivors) and loved how you explain how violence is still happening: “we will do the legislative violence, the judicial violence, the discursive violence of denying that any of it matters. And we’ll do it all in your face.”

“People under the frame of being “good and decent” enable banning to occur because they don’t want to have corrective histories out there. They don’t want white children to know that slavery existed, that their ancestors may have been part of that process”

“American culture encourages a dynamic of ‘While we’re denying that the physical violence that robbed your community has effects in the present, we’re also going to dare you to call that denial violent.’” Koritha Mitchell www.publicbooks.org/white-medioc...
