(3) i have determined the statistical law of motion of the diatomic molecule in planck’s radiation field 🧪⚛️

This is a harmful phrasing and it’s disappointing to see it used.
Pretending that no management is happening and, worse, offering the implication that less management is “good” is a viewpoint that I wish we could evolve beyond as an industry, already.
Especially leaders: do better, and be better.

Every time people tout using facial recognition to find criminals, I'm reminded of the fact that when I worked for an Xbox contract, we literally had an entire help article for "How come my Kinect can't see me" where we had to carefully ask if the person was Black.
Because it COULDN'T SEE THEM.

Rare work post, on building products that work for everyone.
It gets worse!
20% of US mail delivery drivers are Black.
32% of US FedEx drivers are Black.
Very few recognition products are designed with test groups that look anything close to the demographics of who will show up on camera.😮

A lesser-known power of Shirley Jackson's 'The Lottery' is where it comes in its collection.
Spoilers, but I suspect you know how 'The Lottery' ends. It's famous for a reason.
But this is important: Jackson arranged the collection it was named after, and she chose the arrangement. 1/

Your periodic reminder the Alamo “heroes” were fighting for human enslavement.
And the eventual winning of Texas “independence” was just winning independence to keep humans enslaved.
It’s an extreme version of the same logic the right uses now: “we want the freedom to take away freedom of others”

Why does the most violent gangster music in the world, sound like German polka music? Seriously. I'm not joking. Violent. Polka origins.
Because anti-racist white German Americans fled Texas to Mexico. They took Tubas with them.🤡
Wait... what?!
Yes. Mexico was anti-slavery. Texas, pro-slavery.

Q:
Why is it so much easier for the US right to organize and be unified than the US left?
A:
Anti-Black racism.
The only consistent thing that the right agrees on, is this. It's what unifies them. But the US left is very anti-Black too! So they try to get the benefits, without helping Black folk.🤷🏿♂️
