Our language has been completely warped by Big Tech's algorithms, from a generation that's grown up saying "unalive", to the way everyone's censored themselves talking about the Cornell rapists. It's time to fight back against billionaire control of free speech. www.anildash.com/2026/10/06/k...

even post-Callais, strong federal voting-rights enforcement is necessary & I assume this book supplies the historical/empirical case against the colorblindness & racial gerrymandering underlying Callais?

The relentless of colonialism and being constantly fed propaganda makes us forget sometimes they are responding to us because they are *terrified* of collaboration. These bigots aren’t spending trillions of dollars and sacrificing their families because they are comfortable. Remember that

Exactly this. And in fact, many models *have* been created this way, and decades of prior machine learning systems *were* created this way, consensually. These things are choices! People are STILL working this way! It’s not just that a better world is possible — it already EXISTS. We can nurture it.

When I say John Roberts is a liar, hack, anti-democracy ideologue, and enemy of the Constitution, I do so in a civil manner. No yelling or cursing here. But since he will be remembered as an utter disgrace who tried to destroy the republic but failed, some in the future might say it less civilly.

just like the Fugitive Slave Act, conservatives demand that they can impose their evil systems upon liberal states, democracy be damned, but if liberal states so much as offer a mild disincentive for evil to make conservative state maybe Suck Less then it's unconstitutional tyrannical overreach

#HealingHearts "Kids are resilient" is a myth. This is especially true where there is abuse. They see everything, & in their limited capacity learn ways to survive. Survive. Their chance to just be a kid is stolen. They're too busy adapting to the chaos in their lives. #CSASurvivor #Pinks 💛💚💜
Children don't "bounce back" from trauma. They bury it and buried trauma doesn't vanish it leaks out later as anxiety, rage, shame, addiction, and self-destruction. So no, kids aren't resilient. They're hurting.

the lawyers’ argument is ridiculous, much like the false claim that slavery was “beneficial”. Black ppl’s reclamation of a slur isn’t permission for others to use it. they’re trying to redefine domination as neutrality or benevolence where racial harassment becomes merely “a word” or even a greeting
