One thing I find endlessly funny about the rise of AI is that it has revealed that there is a large number of people who believe that the reason they wrote essays at school or university is their teachers were desperately waiting for them to provide a definite answer to “Lear: what’s up with him?”

Lincoln was not wrong about the house divided. Slave society relies on collective dehumanization. This is also why modern conservatives can't just take their political dubs and be happy. As long as wokeness has large cultural buy-in, their project is failing

A thread devoted to Jacob Lawrence, one of most acclaimed American painters of the 20th century, born #OnThisDay in 1917. Fitting that today is Labor Day since work & labor were among his most enduring themes. First up: Home Chores, 1945, painted soon after he returned from military service in WWII

Of course, this isn't complicated. "Woke" is powerful and simple language that describes an awareness to various forms of discrimination and oppression. White people benefit (or feel that they do) from that injust arrangement so some of them want to discredit the term. That's the game here.

It’s kind of interesting that everyone knows Stevens’s campaign is just AIPAC money, and she will talk about how important supporting Israel is to her, but none of the AIPAC-funded ads are about her support for Israel—the ones I see most often tout her work with Black elected officials

Tech giant @microsoft.com released its latest “un-sustainability” report last week and it’s certainly… something. 🥴 There's a lot of flowery language and yes, (some) legitimate progress in this report. But that's completely overshadowed by what it leaves out... 🧵 #GreenSky
Background photo of a data center in Columbus, Ohio. NEWS icon in top left corner. “Tech Giant Microsoft’s 2026 “Un-Sustainability” Report Omits Harmful Impacts of Polluting AI Data Centers” “Last week, tech giant Microsoft released its 2026 Sustainability Report. It failed to mention that its rapidly expanding AI data centers are increasingly turning to dirty, polluting "natural" gas and locking in fossil fuel infrastructure for decades to come.” Arrow icon in top right corner.
Cream-colored background. “The most important part of any corporate sustainability report is what has been hidden, excluded, minimized or obscured. Here's what Microsoft left out of their report.” Photo of climate activists with artwork and banners that read “Microsoft’s Data Centers Harm Communities”. Text below photo reads “Artist: @Vogue_TDK on Instagram / Photo: Brooke Anderson” Arrow icon in top right corner.
Cream-colored background. “Microsoft's new report does not mention its fossil gas plant megaprojects. The three upcoming fossil fuelled power stations will more than double the company's emissions.” Graph showing Microsoft’s new fossil-fuelled data centres vs grid emissions of selected countries”, MSFT Data centres with 16 megatonnes of carbon dioxide, while the countries Greece and France are at 17, Peru at 16, Belarus at 14, Ireland at 8, Sri Lanka at 6, New Zealand at 4, Portugal and Denmark at 3. Meme with blinking surprised man with text read “Wait, seriously??” Arrow icon in top right corner.
Black background. Graph showing Microsoft’s emissions. “Microsoft's real emissions have already grown by 80% since 2020, due largely to emissions intensive infrastructure for new data centres and connections to the grid.” Shocked dog meme. Arrow icon in top right corner.

We can see this in the ICE flight data. Domestic “round-up” flights are spiking, and some activist flight watchers report the flights are getting fuller. But deportation and removal flights remain steady. This means the concentration camps are getting packed to the brim. It’s awful to comprehend.

Platner is a product of white people who are desperate for addressing classism but refuse to acknowledge that misogyny, transphobia, homophobia and racism are components of classism that need to be exorcised for the socialism they want. They want reprieve with no deconstruction of their bigotry.

As one New York financier told Financial Times journalist Gillian Tett, new hires who were seen as “AI natives” are turning out to have alarmingly shallow ideas. So much so, the anonymous finance worker admitted, that his firm now actively avoids seeking out AI-literate STEM graduates, and opts to comb through humanities students instead.

-ahaha youre not gonna believe this but we had a bit of a data breach
