Mamie "Peanut" Johnson was a really good baseball player. So at 17, she tried out for the All-American Girls Professional Baseball League. She was rejected. Because... Black. But she'd go on to be the second woman in the Negro League, and first & only pitcher. She was born 91yrs ago today

If the Democratic Party always has senators who are really Republican and vote with the GOP and pledge loyalty to the GOP and advocate GOP policies, and the Dem Party keeps funding them and doesn't kick them out, maybe the Dems use them to prevent change to the status quo while feigning opposition?

…jfgdic. Like, I've talked about how bad an idea it is to place "AI" in administrative positions, and air traffic especially. Where was the review period on this? How is every congresscritter currently clamoring for "AI Pacing" still letting THIS go through?? (Original image reposted w/ alt text)

I grew up in a majority Black neighborhood in Queens. My mother used our aunt's address to enroll us in a public school in a different district. I walked almost a mile to school both ways when there was one just a few blocks from our house, and it took me a long time to understand why...

a pretty good way to gauge the conversation is whether people are talking about harm or risk harm is about what's happening now already risk is about what could maybe happen in the future and basically the whole ai cult scene is in agreement that possible risks are more important than current harm

This is a mass incarceration issue as well. Poverty is the primary driver of incarceration and they know that destabilizing women specifically destabilizes families, as Black women are normally the highest earners in their household. This is by design.

A good rule of thumb: If the press release (or stenographic news reporting masquerading as journalism) says that an "AI" did something, that's deliberate obfuscation. Software doesn't do anything of its own accord, but folks sure like to talk about it as if it does: >>

Technology being everywhere doesn’t mean it belongs everywhere. The tech industry wants us to believe that AI in early education is not only inevitable, but necessary. We don't see it that way. This week, we announced a moratorium on generative AI for public school students in 2-K to 8th grade.
We’re eliminating AI use for students in 2-K through 8th grade for the upcoming school year.

This is an absolutely wild way to talk about LITERAL KITES
Israel must remember the danger carried by Gaza kites, Hamas dictating tempo at border - editorial
Israel has paid far too high a price to relearn this lesson. The kites crossing the border today may contain nothing, but the next ones may not. We should not wait and see.At least six kites crossed from Gaza into Israel over the past week, with other reports putting the number higher. None of those recovered so far carried explosives, and no Israelis were endangered. The IDF said it believes Palestinian youth, some only 12 or 13 years old, are being used to launch them, likely at the direction of Hamas terrorists.A border is either defended, or it is not. If Hamas permits organized launch sites to operate, it should understand there will be a price. The IDF should also have clear procedures for detecting, intercepting, and handling anything that crosses from Gaza before residents stumble across it.
