Some can’t stop thinking about the Roman Empire, others …

1) Any "tough on crime" Dem that pushes anti-Black policies will become unelectable, unless they can win without Black voter support.

2) You cannot win Presidency as a Dem, or Senator or Governor in a "state that matters*" without Black voter support.

*Except California. Not enough Black voters.🤷🏿‍♂️

A lot of people are still trying to play 2026 politics using a 1986 playbook.

They think that they can still take Black voters for granted and it will work.

But it doesn't work.

People still haven't understood that if Black voters have delivered you victory, they can also take it away.

I'm telling you all this is a warning, just like I gave you a warning in 2020, when Biden got elected and started talking all that foolishness about "The problem with politics that we've all been to divisive!🤡"

And as he ramped up cop funding and cop killings again, achieving the US cop kill record.

Some of y'all got so exuberant with Trump's loss that you forgot that Biden's win was delivered by overwhelming turnout by Black voters.

You genuinely thought that Biden could increase mass incarceration over Trump 2016🤦🏿‍♂️ and kill more Black people than Trump 2016🤦🏿‍♂️ and get that same Black support?

You can read all the silly Atlantic and Politico and New York Time articles that you want, that claim, "How the Blue Wave Happened!🤡" but don't mention the phrase "Black voters" once.

All of those articles are wrong, and are seducing Dems into making the same mistake.

That Blue wave can disappear.

AI in FLOSS irks me because of all this: it erases history of perseverance and true grit, and turns it into another lesson of inequality, privilege, and how world is unfair.

Technology was supposed make everything fairer. More accessible. Equitable.

And it's cyberpunk dystopia instead of Star Trek and we should all get real fucking mad about that.

Indeed. Cybersecurity’s Original Sin was deciding that instead of fixing a software vulnerability, we should write completely different software to protect it against a threat. IMFO.

Making truth to power costly, means a lot gets damned up, before the wall breaks…

The Voyager 1 interstellar probe, part of NASA's Voyager program launched in 1977, will reach one light-day distance from Earth next week.

This article puts the distance into perspective.

"That span stretches about 16.1 billion miles in space. Set out on foot at a brisk 3 mph, and you'd need roughly 612,000 years to walk it."

every time a news story runs about this miraculous, 100% cervical cancer rate preventing vaccine, it blows my mind.

what is a word with more heft and power than "miracle"? progress.

Well, this is fucking slimy: putting an "accessibility" label on your cookies popup.

So... someone leaked a Russian propagandist's data on Twitter (Dougan leaks), and Twitter removed it within 24h... but women have to sue until they reach the Supreme Court to have nudes removed?

What?

I don't know how this missed the rounds on Fedi.

OpenAI's "proof" of Navier–Stokes has several glaring errors.

Her children are in college and they tell her that their instructors are witnessing a marked decrease in critical thinking skills in students across the board due to their reliance on AI and their willingness to accept what it presents as “fact”.

These two data points had her very worried. I told her how generative AI had weakened my business’ design services and she lamented how everything is starting to “look the same” in design.

You don’t say?

AI’s net effect is… distressing.

I visited my old oncologist this week for a check up (I’m fine) it was great seeing her but we got to speaking about the state of the world and talk turned to AI.

This woman saved my life back in 2005 when I was diagnosed with Hodgkin’s lymphoma and she is brilliant but she’s distressed about where AI is taking us especially her field.

She explained it’s becoming more and more difficult for her to research proper courses of treatment because of the flood of inaccurate AI “results”. 1/

Come for the software, run away from its community.

Industrin med att föda upp laxar i stora nätburar kan inte längre kallas hållbart och kan därmed inte heller certifieras som ekologisk. Det anser brittisk certifieringsorganisation, som länge kritiserats för att den fungerat som "ekologiskt fikonlöv" åt laxindustrin.

Vore det inte en journalistisk välgärning att åtminstone kring varje val göra en genomlysning av vilka intressen partierna rent konkret jobbar för?
Typ kollla varifrån pengarna kommer, hur mycket de har att röra sig med och vilken politik de driver som följer givarnas intressen. Gärna med en jämförelse med den uttryckta ideologin.
