Civil rights leader Jesse Jackson has passed away at the age of 84. My thoughts are with his family. I wanted to share this clip from his appearance on Sesame Street in 1971. His important words ring just as true today as they did back then.

Look at this absolute queen

When someone asked "Why would you as a business choose to piss off 1/2 of your potential customers? Just curious what sense that makes." the bakery responded with "I don't want those customers."

Looks like ICE is now cracking down on … Native Americans. This letter was just posted by the chairman of the Standing Rock Sioux Tribe in North/South Dakota: “Our Nation is a sovereign government and our members are not immigrants. We are not subject to immigration enforcement on our own lands.”

ANDING ROCK
Standing Rock Sioux Tribe
The Office of Chairman Sitting Bear
P.O. BOx D
Fort Yates, ND 58538
CHAIRMAN SITTING BEAR'S STATEMENT REGARDING SRST PUBLIC SAFETY
JANUARY 9, 2026
I have been receiving reports and evidence of First Nations people being racially targeted, assaulted, and detained by the federal agency Immigration & Customs Enforcement (ICE). We want to remind our members to be safe and proactive by carrying with you at a minimum your tribal identification cards or a copy of your degree of Indian Blood. Our tribal identification affirms our citizenship and political status.
Our Nation is a sovereign government and our members are not immigrants. We are not subject to immigration enforcement on our own lands. Any federal activity within our boundaries must recognize and respect our tribal sovereignty, treaty obligations, and established jurisdictional boundaries. Any ICE presence or activity within our lands is not authorized, not welcome, and will be addressed. Unauthorized personnel will be escorted off our lands.

What if none of these things is a distraction from the other things and instead they're all just horrible things

Hey so “underage girls” are…children. The word you’re looking for is children. They’re not like, women-in-waiting or women-lite or whatever. They’re children. I think some of you are very uncomfortable with what that means for you but it is still true.

i think if you ride public transit enough you learn that most weird behavior is not dangerous, and conversely i think driving a car teaches you that everyone is trying to kill you at all times

luigi mangione murdered a healthcare executive and opposed "wokeism." i don't know why people insist that killers need some coherent ideology. most people don't even have coherent wardrobes, let alone a coherent worldview.

Stand by this: www.politico.com/newsletters/...

What’s a technology that you think is overhyped?

I’m going to give a sideways answer to this, which is that the venture capital business model needs to be understood as requiring hype. You can go back to the Netscape IPO, and that was the proof point that made venture capital the financial lifeblood of the tech industry.

Venture capital looks at valuations and growth, not necessarily at profit or revenue. So you don’t actually have to invest in technology that works, or that even makes a profit, you simply have to have a narrative that is compelling enough to float those valuations. So you see this repetitive and exhausting hype cycle as a feature in this industry. A couple of years ago, you would have been asking me about the metaverse, then last year, you would have asked me about Web3 and crypto, and for each of these inflection points there’s an Andreessen Horowitz manifesto.

It’s not simply that one piece of technology is overhyped, it’s that hype is a necessary ingredient of the current business ecosystem of the tech industry. We should examine how often the financial incentive for hype is rewarded without any real social returns, without any meaningful progress in technology, without these tools and services and worlds ever actually manifesting. That’s key to understanding the growing chasm between the narrative of techno-optimists and the reality of our tech-encumbered world.

There is actually a very accurate historical document of the post-9/11 vibes. A clipart comic called Get Your War On. Click on through: www.mnftiu.cc/2001/10/09/w...

Get your war on 1 #1

A three panel comic showing a white clipart business man having a phone conversation with a Black clipart businessman sitting at a computer.
Panel 1: White man says "Oh yeah! Operation Enduring Freedom is in the house"
Panel 2: Black man says "Oh yeah! Operation Enduring Our Freedom is in the motherfucking house!
Panel 3: White man says "Yes! Operation: Enduring Our Freedom to Bomb the Living Fuck Out of You is in the house!!!

That Spotify hosts terrible people’s podcasts (Andrew Tate among many others) is a great reason alone to get off it and join a service that only does music. I jumped to Tidal years ago, no regrets

I was on the Mall for Obama in 09. It was cold and windy, sure, but the crowd was electric, so supportive of one another and the desire to be there made the weather seem a minor inconvenience. there weren't any snowflakes at that one, but seem to be a lot expected in the forecast this year...

Don’t be glum about the long, cold winter. Look around: the trees are busy, not sleeping. When the temperature permits, cells in this bud are dividing, maturing into flowers, leaves, stems. The cambium, maker of all the trees, is preparing for its spring festivities. Be like a tree: keep growing.
