I'mma say this for all the people in the back. Don't vote for a person. Vote for your rights, for the rights of others.

It's increasingly clear that the people who make generative AI don't like films, don't like books, don't like art of any kind, and don't understand why anyone else does.

Pretty sure lots and lots of people South of the Mason-Dixon line were very much against slavery. You probably got confused though because they were only considered to be 3/5ths a person at the time.

Gift link. It's not just that they're aggressively marketed to Black women. It's the expectations about what constitutes "looking professional" (per the article, it's hard for Black women to meet military hair requirements without using straightener), the lack of research, and so much more.

One of the things TNC wrote on his blog which holds true is that people have a hard time accepting the idea there are people who are earnestly working in opposition to the things which you’d like to see in the world. A lot of our political culture depends on the assumption we agree on ends.

"He endorsed what his interlocutor described as a necessary fight to “return our country to a place of godliness.” And Alito offered a blunt assessment of how America’s polarization will ultimately be resolved: “One side or the other is going to win.”" www.rollingstone.com/politics/pol...
