There is no known portrait of Columbus that was composed during his lifetime; everything that has come down to us is posthumous. So there’s no way to know whether he looked like Nurse Ratched clutching a sil-pat baking sheet in a short sleeved housecoat or not.

I just stumbled across the only known issue of an African-American periodical titled: The People's Journal. It was published in Brooklyn, NY from roughly 1866-1869. This issue is dated August 29, 1868. I'm still trying to digest all of this, but at a glance I already see some really cool stuff. 🗃️🧵

Front cover of a newspaper titled: The People's Journal which was published August 29, 1868. It was published by the African Civilization Society and edited by Rev. Rufus Perry.

This paper was located within the records of the Freedmen's Bureau. NARA Microfilm 1055. Its is image 1283 of 1513 at this link: https://catalog.archives.gov/id/684207580

Perhaps worth noting, in this context, that Bezos went on Fox News to tell its audience (and AI pushback is bipartisan, by the way): "you're not going to need to have a two-earner income household" if we let AI accelerate, in his vision. www.businessinsider.com/jeff-bezos-a...

Jeff Bezos says AI could power a return to single-earner households as it turbocharges productivity

Bezos, the world's third wealthiest person, said more families will need only one parent to work and people will work for three days per week.

This is the same thing that was done to Central Americans in the early 1980s and was the whole reason for the Orantes Hernandez litigation back then. It’s due process and access to asylum unraveling in real time. Orantes for those interested: en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Orantes...

Grete Hermann (1901-1984), brilliant philosopher of maths and quantum mechanics and first student of Emily Noether. Hermann was co-founder of the journal Ratio, and turned to political philosophy later in her career, writing in 1947:

Whoever lives in the Third Reich or otherwise comes to terms with it, but isolates themselves from the political events around them in order to occupy themselves with other, in themselves beautiful and worthy subjects, is lending their name and their work to this system. There is no neutrality towards the legal and cultural decline in public life. Whoever does not oppose it is complicit in it. Whatever beautiful and good things they may create otherwise are devalued by this participation in the social injustice with which it is burdened.
