This museum is an old electric power station, and it’s literally a museum about the power station, but also a museum of artifacts found during the construction boom of the 1930s. So the power station is filled with headless ruins of marble Gods. Real Lynch vibes

June 11 is an important day in Civil Rights history. In 1963, Gov. George Wallace tried to stop two Black students from enrolling at the University of Alabama. Warren K. Leffler's photos of that confrontation are in the Library's U.S. News & World Report Magazine collection. 🧵

Said this in the other place and perhaps worth repeating here: this is just such a careful and almost brutally honest analysis of the ways that our efforts to "fix" things at the technical artifact level can fundamentally fall short of making meaningful system wide impact. Lots to learn here.

Cops are shooting impact munitions madly. They're shooting at people who are simply moving along on sidewalks and leaving the area as they were ordered to do. No one in this video is throwing anything at police. Mounted cops are coming up behind people and hitting them with extra long riot batons.

AGI is a bad goal. We don’t need more intelligent systems; we need more helpful, beneficial, humanitarian systems. We should measure how “advanced” technology is, not by how well it mimics human capability, but by how it expands it. www.aspendigital.org/project/ai-b...

It would be a tragedy of epic proportions if Bluesky failed because we all spent our time here reflexively yelling at the people who could help it succeed. And it would be too cliched to even have offsetting comedy value. Just grim, sad, and predictable.

Before going for the reflexive dunk, I think its worth asking if we really want to chase away influential people who have been posting here in reasonably good faith. (Ducks).

The correct way to connect the authoritarian presence in LA and the Big Beautiful Bill is that the bill gives the government the resources to do this in dozens of cities at once. So if you don't like what's happening in LA, it's coming to your town if the bill passes.

There are two problem-solving approaches: 1) identify a problem that you want to solve, then find a method that will solve it or 2) pick a method you want to use, and go hunting for problems. The second way is the stupid way, so it shouldn't surprise anyone that it's the default method in tech.

I feel like this is a fact that is really tough for certain people to absorb because of canonization of the Civil Rights Movement in schools, plus the moral self-dealing of "if current me had been alive then, I would surely have approved" among American white people
