#ResistanceRoots Henry Louis Gates Jr. was born on this day in 1950 in Keyser, W.V. Best known for hosting the PBS series Finding Your Roots, he is a world-renowned literary scholar, historian, filmmaker and cultural critic who helps bridge the gap between academic scholarship and popular media. /1

Dr. Henry Louis Gates Jr. in 2016. His journey has taken him from a planned career in medicine to a shift to history and Black literature to bringing rigorous genealogical research to public television audiences. This divergent path is rooted in a common objective: uncovering the hidden histories of African Americans. He has revolutionized the study of Black literature by uncovering its historical foundations and distinct structure. His unique approach to genealogy blends history with science, oral traditions and family mythologies. He has also worked to recover and preserve lost texts and elevate African American literature to the level of the European literary canon. His work continues to shape the study of history and literature while also giving non-scholars access to the tools needed to find their roots.

More people incapable of nuanced thinking. Would rather viciously attack allies with cliches like “horseshoe theory.” No doubt I’ll be called antisemitic now for not recognizing Nazi symbolism. 🙄

This is Chootie. He looks like a dog, but from one of those 15th century paintings done by someone who had only ever heard about dogs. 12/10 (IG: chootieboy)

a very fluffy white creature with light brown markings on its back and ears is resting flat on some concrete tiles with a body like a slightly inflated bearskin rug. his legs and tail are merely puffy nubs, but his front paws are completely shaved for hygiene purposes, giving him the grabby-hands look of a feral raccoon. his face is an exuberant expression, with all his features slightly too close together, including his mismatched and somewhat human brown and blue eyes. he is simultaneously ridiculous and delightful.

Gift article. Everyone interested in the question of AI “consciousness” should read. The author takes a logical sledgehammer to that proposition. www.theatlantic.com/philosophy/2...

No, Artificial Intelligence Is Not Conscious

Taken to its logical conclusion, this line of thinking is absurd—and damning.

This entire thread by @plasmaring.bsky.social is on point, but this here: everything is financialized. It’s Amazon, not public libraries. It’s subscriptions to software. It’s the app you download for your car. And the second you can be replaced by an AI chatbot you will.

every mushroom foraging guidebook: This is Woodland Pot Roast, a tasty little mushroom that adds a delightful flavour to soups and stews. Note that it is often mistaken for Satan’s Fistula, a mushroom that erases the last 9 generations of your family from God’s ledgers.
