With all the reposts, mentions and new followers let me be clear:

I'm not arguing with black folks Harriet Tubman would have shot

I'm not arguing with white folks John Brown would have shot.

Do with that information what you will.

While Trump plays trade war like he’s holding all the cards, our executives are coming back from China terrified.

They’re walking through “dark factories” where robots run the show so efficiently the lights don’t even need to be on.

One exec saw a plant pumping out phones with zero human workers.

We’re living through the fall of the American empire.

Now I know how they felt in London. And Rome.

The hardest thing about the end of a relationship is the gut wrenching realization that it was never going to be you.

No matter how much you sacrificed.
No matter how much you begged.
No matter how much you cried.
No matter how much you shape-shifted.

It was never going to be you in the end.

This should've NEVER gotten far enough for this to happen but generative AI is the wild fucking west right now.

This is why regulation is necessary. This is why ethics boards exist in tech.

Proton Mail is hands down one of the best email services I've come across for actual privacy.

I'm so excited to see them expanding their services to cover more data abuse points like cloud storage and private AI models.

If they come out with a browser I may faint.

Y'all go out of your way to argue points I never made because you all feel personally attacked about your allegiance to a religion that most likely in historical context never belonged to your ancestors (assuming you are a black American descendent of the enslaved)

Blerd Beats @blerdbeats.blacksky.app · 4d

I wish Black people would stop thinking that we were only introduced to Christianity in America.

Egypt (1st century CE), Coptic Orthodox Church
Ethiopia (4th century CE), Ethiopian Orthodox Tewahedo Church
Nubia (Sudan region, 6th century CE), linked to Egyptian Coptic Christianity before Islam

Aqua Tofana @thepettymessiah.bsky.social · 4d

And one day the black community is going to have to accept that the indoctrination of our people into Christianity does not serve us and was done by design to snuff out the spirit of violent resistance in response to violent oppression.

Aqua Tofana @thepettymessiah.bsky.social · 4d

Did I say that? However, it's well understood that the majority of slaves brought from West Africa primarily practiced traditional African religions or Islam. Black Americans for the most part do practice Christianity because it was required of them by their ancestors slave masters & handed down.

NSO is a spyware company that was caught in 2021 targeting about a dozen U.S. government officials abroad and banned by the U.S. commerce dept. Now they're trying to sell their spyware to local police depts to use against american citizens - with the support of the Trump administration.
