Say what you want about Kendrick but the fact that people are figuring out what “40 acres and a mule” in 2025 is why any education to black history is important, no matter no big nor small.

I've *FINALLY* gotten two of my favorite nerd friends into BG3. I just gotta say - the only thing better than being blown away by that game the first time is watching your friends have that reaction. We all need a little joy right now, and that's some of mine for the moment.

Threatening people under duress with retaliatory surveillance and abandonment for being too under duress to do the labor you want Is a really common tactic and for folks who are marginalized Please cut that shit out Also stop encouraging it

Tesla's stock is ridiculously overvalued, and even a modest consumer boycott could tank the company, which accounts for the majority of Elon Musk's wealth. The divestment movement weakened apartheid South Africa. Let's do that again. slate.com/business/202...

There are some infosec folks who are playing semantics or splitting hairs or saying ‘let’s wait and see’ in defense of what the DOGE workers are doing. If they witnessed such sloppy cybersecurity in any corporate environment, they would be screaming bloody murder. Why the double standard? Why?

THIS. If you can’t even manage to shut up in public (which yes, jackasses, includes the social media), you are introducing so much unnecessary risk to yourself and others.

If you can't find an online history for an organization (or, if it's a coalition, it's component organizations), DON'T GIVE THEM YOUR INFO

The other night, I had a nightmare and B had to wake me up. IMMEDIATELY, I started peppering him with questions/concerns about the Toy Story universe (note: the nightmare was not about anything even vaguely related to Toy Story). Here is how that conversation went:

this is gonna be the way things work over the next few years- the admin getting like 1% of what it wants and losing almost every negotiation while the lapdog press spins every loss as a huge historic win, it's literally the modi model

i know i'm talking a LOT about the glories of the 1990s/early 2000s web and YES part of it is nostalgia, but i honestly believe that bringing back human-made blogging and links free from Meta/Twitter can actually contribute to our political and social survival in this new awful era so LET'S DO THIS

All of this. And if you’re NC and would like to shop at a locally owned Black bookstore, check out Liberation Station. They had to close their physical location in Raleigh last year due to death threats.

When exchanging your @signal.org contact info over an insecure channel (like a text message or DM), it's a good idea to generate a Signal link (URL) from the app, then you should RESET that link after you connect with the other person on Signal. Thanks to @micahflee.com for reporting.

Only saying once on bsky b/c I know it is not entirely useful, but it is totally exhausting that in 2016 some of us said “they’re Nazis,” some of us screamed “they’re segregationists,” and a whole lot of very serious people now posting about them being Nazis and segregationists gaslight us for years
