Your #BHM book of the day is Race After Technology by Ruha Benjamin. This is appropriate because of the rampant AI commercials in the Superbowl. Benjamin details how racist data sets are part of the foundation of emerging tech AND what we can do to combat it. #booksky

The 'jail the librarians' bill is back in Georgia (SB 74). Not only do these people not want to dance with Bad Bunny, they want to make sure that you can't learn about the real names of your genitalia either.

If the Super Bowl commercials are any indication of where the economy is going, everyone needs to get out of credit card debt today.
There was not one consumer, good they were selling because they know you can’t afford it.

This has, no joke, been part of my nightly prayers since I was old enough to understand what HIV is
Just because good news is worth celebrating:

HIV has, effectively, a vaccination.

Today is a great day to email your Senator and ask why federal charges haven't been made against everyone mentioned by name in the Epstein files.
And to share a nice picture of the former President and First Lady.
