iiinova — where your digital self keeps evolving

It's telling that men would rather try to invent tech to replace humans' role in caregiving than step up as equal partners in parenting. Telling, that is, in that it shows how financial capitalism and patriarchy work together to dissuade men from doing "unprofitable" labor, like the work of care.

X post from AI industry insider Alvin Sng :

My wife: Can you read our baby a book?
Me: I can just play an audiobook from my phone.
My wife: But then it won't be in your voice.
Me: I can train a voice model.
Parenting hits different when you work in Al.

One of the weirdest things about being an accomplished Black woman, is no one believes you when you say you’re struggling because you don’t “look like it.” Why do I need to look like the hell and highwater I’m fighting to get support? Why can’t we just be believed?

The response to an extremely capable Black man in leadership was a grossly incapable white one. This is why "merit" is a sham.

lol is the plan to ignore Black people forever?

lol it's pea-brained to think your skin color inherently affords you a better life and then build a system around that. Pea. Brained.

lol it's pea-brained to hate someone solely because of how they came out of the womb

lol racism is very pea-brained behavior

lol I wouldn't cheapen DEI to explain the calls for more or less merit. It's just straight up racism. Nothing more. Nothing less.

(This is why eugenics is making a comeback btw. How else do you justify white superiority in the midst of chaos caused by white superiority?)

Anna Gifty @itsafronomics.blacksky.app · 07/10/2026

lol the country is "too meritocratic" can be directly translated to: "They're about to lap us." AND WILL.

Anna Gifty @itsafronomics.blacksky.app · 07/10/2026

lol you're getting mad at the Black and Brown kids who are achieving despite the odds, and that last part is really it. They're mad because we were never supposed to get *this* far.

Anna Gifty @itsafronomics.blacksky.app · 07/10/2026

lol like this ain't crazy to y'all because it's crazy to me. ONE GUY. One person. A singleton has a controlling stake in companies that broadcast to hundreds of millions of people. That is CRAZY.

Anna Gifty @itsafronomics.blacksky.app · 07/10/2026

It’s just weird lol why do you need to control everything everyone consumes? Also this is why when these type of guys say I love capitalism I laugh. Capitalism needs competition and this is ANTI competitive lol

lol a person that needs this much control is a psychopath. It just doesn’t make sense like across everyrhjng that’s ever existed.

Anna Gifty @itsafronomics.blacksky.app · 07/10/2026

lol like no matter HOW you slice it, this is objectively ridiculous. One person has majority control over two MAJOR news broadcasts and nearly ALL entertainment streams, including children programming, globally. ONE person. A single human being.
