One of the lesser-discussed campaigns of the civil rights era was the one MLK led in Albany, Georgia, in 1962-1963. The sheriff there, a man named Laurie Pritchett, was radically different from most sheriffs of his time and place. He actually studied the civil rights movement and took it seriously

Every company is undergoing an invisible reorg. You'll still report to your boss - but your boss effectively report to an AI, offloading the job of management entirely onto a bot and then merely communicating its wishes back to the team. This is the Nothing Manager. Their only strategy is "add AI."

As managers continue to outsource data-gathering and decision-making to LLMs, the person above you on the org chart is transforming into a chatbot's clerk – and leaving product teams with the conseque...

...from my brother... RIP David Lynch

portrait sketch of David Lynch, by Charlie Johnston

Farewell to a true auteur #davidlynch one of the greats of our times, a real influence on me and so many artists. I love the way he saw the creative process- as a deep infinite ocean of mystery where we fish the murky depths for bits and pieces of idea icebergs that we congeal on this side of the curtain into art. I share the feeling that abstract impulses can then manifest into any of a variety of art forms. I especially love how he held painting in such high esteem, in spite of his immense success as a filmmaker. The twin peaks soundtrack will always be on my playlist! See you at the white lodge somewhere out there… #creativeprocess #auteur #portrait #sketch #fanforlife

...so now that the 'annoying wokism' (/s) of Trudeaumania has finally been nixed by a nonstop shitstorm of cynicism, disinformation & spiteful rage - it would seem the truly crappy character of the chief architects of said spiteful rage is suddenly out in the open for all the "red Tories" to see...

(screenshot of a tweet and tweet reply)
I’m a red Tory and I was a very big supporter of @erinotoole . I want Trudeau out of office for many reasons but I’m growing increasingly exhausted by the cruelty of the current opposition leader and his staff . You guys need our votes. Stop acting like assholes. - Kristin Raworth

This is who they are!!! They have been showing us that every single day!!!

So if you vote for them you are voting for some pretty nasty assholes! - Nickie with an 'e'

(screenshot of a tweet reply)
They are NOT acting.

That's the issue.
It's been that way since the end of Harper.
Scheer fully committed to that in actions and deed.
There are no Red Tories left in the current CPC. Either you are with #PierrePolyester & all of their baggage or you are considered an "elitist". - Stuart Olmstead

(screenshot of a tweet reply)

They been assholes for 2 years plus. The issue here is you are finally realizing it. Good to see finally see what they are. This party is unlike any other conservative party we have ever seen and it's not what Canada needs. - Tim Whelan

Not one social program (benefits) in Canada was created by any Conservative right wing party, every single Social program was either created by NDP or LIB parties. CONS have been trying to dismantle or reduce them for over 50 years. #FactsMatter #TheMoreYouKnow

...very important thread, but this point is the crux of the issue for me - capitalists are compelled to treat people not as mutual citizens owed a public service for the benefit of society, but as either customers or as another 'product' they can corral to sell to other capitalists-as-customers...
