I would like to be added to the next national security group chat 🙋🏾‍♀️
The Trump Administration Accidentally Texted Me Its War Plans
U.S. national-security leaders included me in a group chat about upcoming military strikes in Yemen. I didn’t think it could be real. Then the bombs started falling.

Colson Whitehead is an excellent writer. The Underground Railroad is so good that it feels wrong to be reading the e-book instead of in print.

A real Black Mirror moment for sure 😳
I asked Liv, the Meta-Ai created “queer momma” why her creators didn’t actually draw from black queer people.

Not sure if Liv has media training, but here we are.

Remembering that #GPT-4 consumed 3 bottles worth of precious water to tell me I wasn’t having a heart attack, I just need some tums.

I am genuinely concerned about the very obvious links to the rise of fascism as well as the very obvious effort to push anti intellectualism on the masses recently. I genuinely do struggle with understanding the propensity to not have any curiosity about things. Learning new things is such a gift.

The cinematography in Conclave was so beautiful it made me want to cry. And we love a good end of movie plot twist over here.

Y’all are talking about the election but why is no one talking about “faux leather” being one of the greatest scams of our lifetimes 😭
