Grumpy Black crone who likes to think and explore (and seek mindfulness, within reason). In pfp: a hedgehog with a kente kufi on its head, and red laser eyes. Not chill. “Coward American” — an opp. The aging, unsociable 🦔 rescue watches over me now. 🪽

Not sure if it’s deep sadness over recent events, rebound depression or even seasonal affective disorder. All I can do is sigh and take each moment as it comes, because I still have more energy than I did before stopping my anti-depressants.

It's easier to think that people are cutting off their family because of social contagion or viral therapy trends than it is to accept that families are very often places of pain and domination where escape is the only alternative to lifelong misery or death.

I’m amazed (but NOT surprised) by how many people condone child abuse in the name of culture. “This is just the way we do things.” You can stop. You can change. You are an ADULT. You have the power.

“Sometimes, my previous boyfriends would sometimes start questioning their sexuality. They would ask me: Does dating you mean I am not straight? Their sexuality becomes the priority and not my non-binary identity. I am expected to undermine my identity because it’s an ‘inconvenience’,”

So sore from today’s massage and yesterday’s workout that I’m moving this run to tomorrow. Let me eat the rest of my dinner, and prep for bed. Coming off this medication hasn’t been easy, but I have to listen to my body if it wants more sleep as opposed to a workout. Ugh.

My sense that Facebook was BAD for more than just politics started when my friends began posting pictures of things like their kids potty training. And that was before AI in a theoretical walled garden scenario…but even then it was like, hmmm I think we collectively aren’t handling this tech well.

A key component of the Cambridge Analytica outrage was your friends subjecting you to data theft without your consent or knowledge. Facebook is running the same playbook on your text messages. Even if you’re not on Meta properties, they’re ingesting your interactions.
Aten installed Muse on both his iPhone and a Mac mini that he uses to test out various Al agents and tech. It took Meta a single day to begin "helpfully" pitching article ideas based on texts he'd sent to a podcast co-host.
When he asked Muse how it got the information, it said that it read banners from incoming texts. But that's not true, either.
After doing a little digging, Aten says Muse synced 187,000 lines from his Messages database, despite Full Disk Access being Off.Unless Aten is the most popular person on the face of the planet, I sincerely doubt he'd gotten 187,000 lines of text in roughly 24 hours. What happened is that, without permission, Muse went into the app and downloaded the information.
He had not given Muse permission to access Messages, and full disk access was not enabled. It just went ahead and uploaded those texts anyway.
Muse can take "unexpected actions" indeed.

🛎️🛎️🛎️ It’s human propensity fueled by mass and algorithmic social media. It’s just reached a head where I have to ask people what they really, truly want. How much of it is a desire, versus a desire that’s been crafted? And it’s just to do/look the same. No wonder genAI trends are popular af.

I live on the edge. The traffic and bad parking has tipped over. So much so that the suburb has now lost its free weekend parking (Sundays only now). Know why? People started parking their cars (from elsewhere!) on Friday and disappeared until Sunday night. Couldn’t find parking anywhere. 😮‍💨

Traffic is getting so bad in my region, that I want to scream. You leave early, but still get to destinations late. People don’t know how their turn signals, brakes or accelerators work. Any space you leave behind a car is space for someone to cut in front of you. Parking is at a premium. 😮‍💨

Right. I wonder how much of it is due to cruise life and what’s seen on social media, where people are just touching down to sit up in hotels and only leave for touristy tours. No extended exposure to the culture: just vibes.

I’m sure there’s a Black American equivalent. There has to be. I remember my late grandpa saying this shit when my mom was sending preachers to “heal” him of cancer. A 🇳🇬 blogger said the same thing when he exposed a lying preacher, and it took me back.

💯There is a Nigerian pidgin proverb (which is quite ironic, since 🇳🇬 is notorious for its populace idolizing religious leaders and celebs alike): “You get power pass God?” [“Are you omnipotent?”] Basically, since no one is all-powerful, you should not be defending them like they’re a deity.

My total time working in concrete added up to about 10 months. It left me with carpal tunnel syndrome, a back injury, and a bunch of the skin ripped off my left arm from a supervisor's easily avoidable error. I loved it, learned a ton from it, but I'd be on my way to an early grave if I'd stayed in.

The way people of the global south love their genAI? 🫩🫩🫩 It’s not a sign of Westernization anymore. Their neighbors could be suffering from effects of climate change, but the need to be “in” and “hip” overrides that empathy. It’s the Nigerian pidgin phrase “how that one concern me?” in action.
