THREAD: “It’s entirely possible that driverless cars will do more harm than good. If they’re privately owned and you can summon them to pick you up and drop you off and then go park someplace, that actually will result in more trips on the streets & more congestion…” That was “skeptic” me in 2015.

I’ve still not quite got to the end of Gisèle Pelicot’s book - there is always something that stops me in my tracks - I think of all the men like her husband who take us into wars and other destructions and those that follow them so obediently

Read an article of a white woman wrongly arrested based on this. She recorded her conversation with the sheriff who freely, joyfully admitted that he didn’t care that she had proof she wasn’t the one Flock recorded. His glee triggered my PTSD. Cops are having a blast with this.

Several years ago, I brought peanuts to work and fed the crows in the parking lot. Bad idea, since they started obstructing traffic, so I stopped. Still, every spring, a few crows remember me and will fly down as I get out of my car just in case I have food for them.

Parents I’m begging you to not let you 7yo go around telling everyone on voice chat all their siblings’ names, the fact that a new baby sister is due, and what your dogs names are. And then ask to be friends with random strangers on Fortnite. You can turn off voice chat so they can’t use it.

Note this IMPORTANT paragraph. “Some urbanists claim [the 15-Minute City] manufactured controversy has ‘died down,’ but the truth is that in many ways, the disinformation achieved its goal.” That’s NOT ok. With or without the brand, the concept of proximity is critical & common sense. Discuss it.

Text from the article: “Unfortunately, as was seen in the case of the ‘15 minute cities’ concept, disinformation campaigns against better urban environments can be strong and successful, even if they make no sense. Some urbanist claim that particular manufactured controversy has “died down“, but the truth is that in many ways, the disinformation achieved its goal. Many cities now avoid using the term at all, and are even careful about talking about having more things close by in other ways, less they be accused of “pushing that 15 minute city agenda.”

Time to pull out old reliable once again.

The 8 White Identities
by Barnor Hesse

White Supremacist
Clearly marked white society that preserves, names, and values white superiority

White Voyeurism
Wouldn't challenge a white supremacist; desires non-whiteness because it's interesting, pleasurable; seeks to control the consumption and appropriation of non-whiteness; fascination with culture (ex: consuming
Black culture without the burden of Blackness)

White Privilege
May critique supremacy, but a deep investment in questions of fairness/equality under the normalization of whiteness and the white rule; sworn goal of 'diversity'

White Benefit
Sympathetic to a set of issues but only privately; won't speak act in solidarity publicly because benefitting through whiteness in public (some POC are in this category as well)

White Confessional
Some exposure of whiteness takes place, but as a way of being accountable to POC after; seek validation from POC

White Critical
Take on board critiques of whiteness and invest in exposing/marking the white regime; refuses to be complicit with the regime; whiteness speaking back to whiteness

White Traitor
Actively refuses complicity; names what's going on; intention is to subvert white authority and tell the truth at whatever cost; need them to dismantle institutions

White Abolitionist
Changing institutions, dismantling whiteness, and not allowing whiteness to reassert itself

So when thousands of women (and children) were being duplicated--including in non-consensual AI porn--it was no big deal. But it took "only a 15-sec clip" of these two famous white men to draw outrage and fear. Gotcha. Cool cool.

I’ve watched a very smart child try to encode what chaptgpt thinks is “human” so that her class assignments don’t get flagged for plagiarism. I’ve heard expert professionals admit to self-editing so they don’t “sound” like an llm. This is the kind of cultural flattening that accelerates fascism.

There will be two protests today against B.C.-based companies who are doing business with ICE. The first at Hootsuite's HQ in Mount Pleasant starting at 3:00; the second in front of the Pattison Group's office downtown.

BC Green Party Leader Emily Lowan and members of the BC Greens will join two protests in Vancouver tomorrow, Friday, January 31, opposing Canadian corporate partnerships with U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE). Lowan will speak at both actions.

The protests target Hootsuite for their business ties to Palantir, a company whose technology is used by ICE to carry out surveillance, detention, and deportation, and The Jim Pattison Group, whose property arm is in the process of selling a Virginia warehouse that the U.S. Department of Homeland Security intends to use as an ICE holding and processing facility—a deal that has drawn criticism from activists and community groups.

Protest details:

• 3–5 pm: Hootsuite Headquarters, 111 East 5th Ave
With Democracy Rising Now

• 5–7 pm: Pattison Headquarters, 1067 West Cordova
With Indivisible Vancouver

The BC Greens are calling on Canadian companies to immediately sever ties with ICE-linked contractors and for elected leaders to speak out against corporate complicity in state violence.
