It's hilarious that "working class" now applies exclusively to the racist failsons of regional car dealership owners but every unemployed trans person is an "elite".

It’s hard to make art right now. we’re traumatized , in an abusive relationship with everything from our government to AIR , and folks can barely afford LIFE

and it’s hard to choose what to build when we can’t talk about it and those who CAN fund it ?
Don’t care

she’s right and she should say it

there is nothing the white-dominated music industry would love more than to make a minimally marketable approximation of Black music without involving any Black people in any way

SZA Feels Like She’s ‘At War Because of AI,’ Slams ‘Weird, Stereotypical Struggle Music’ Being Generated By Artificial Intelligence SZA feels like she's 'at war because of AI,' specifically calling out the 'weird, stereotypical struggle music' generated by artificial intelligence.

“SZA lamented that the AI creep is happening ‘disproportionately with Black music…’”

Eyeing Voting Rights, Liberals Aim to Secure Wisconsin’s Supreme Court through 2030 - Bolts After flipping the court in 2023, Wisconsin liberals now hope to expand their majority on a body that could be a critical backstop for voting rights during the next presidential election.

NEW: Believe it or not, it’s that time of year: the Wisconsin Supreme Court election is next month.

Liberals have a huge opportunity: if they win, they can lock down the majority of this court thru 2030.

That means they’d have it in the next presidential race, a big democracy guardrail.

The picture shows a needle made of bone, it resembles its modern descendants with an eye at one end and a tapered end.

Things used in everyday life are the real archaeological treasures!

This sewing needle was made from animal bone some 13,000 years ago.

Some designs simply don't need to be improved, because form and functions were perfectly matched from the start

As a new parent I want to sympathize with other parents who are struggling against misinformation and the paralyzing fears instilled in you around childcare. I was afraid every single fabric would suffocate my infant. My anger at those same parents is a big hurdle for my sympathy though.

The thing about all these freak AI execs constantly going "our machine may have gained sentience?!" is that they want slaves. That they are ok with slave labor.

And *then* it always, always turns out their latest AI trick actually used slave labor somewhere in the global south.

They're slavers.

A digitally drawn homage to the George Herriman comic strip Krazy Kat. Starting left of frame we see yellow Ignatz Mouse having just thrown a brick which is sailing across the center of the frame and in another instant will bash the oblivious Krazy Kat (a blue bipedal cartoon cat wearing a red scarf) in the back of the head as he walks innocently to the right. Everything is drawn in rough black pen and colored in pale washes. A speech bubble from Ignatz reads ‘Maybe it will…’, the word ’Happen’ appears in the whooshing trail of the sailing brick, and a final speech bubble belonging to the Kat reads ‘…Today’.

We know that ICE never left Minnesota, but there are signs that any drawdown phase is over.

ICE activity is ramping up across the country and Minnesota isn’t exempt from that. ICE has set a new baseline of “normal” ICE activity in our state and that baseline is rising again.

Prediction markets are playing a dangerous game The fast rise of Kalshi, Polymarket, and other prediction markets is running headlong into gambling regulations, and now the industry is using the news media as its shield.

Why platforms like Kalshi and Polymarket want so badly to be seen as sources of news, instead of anything-goes casinos.

This has nothing to do with the specific content here, but Polymarket adopting the language of news, here with BREAKING, and with Texas election results earlier this week, is BAD. Polymarket is not and will never be a news org or break news. It's a betting app. It's Draft Kings for sociopaths.

I want to emphasize that I love our Black elders and respect them. Also, a key part of having a legacy is knowing when and to whom to pass it on because none of us are forever. Only the people as a collective have a chance to continue.

this has basically been my take for awhile - it's not just that everything is bad, it's that we have completely removed the concepts of quality, reliability, usefulness/utility of any kind, etc. from even the profit motive, and human workers and consumers are no longer even nominally important

It's been a long week.

Rest here, weary wanderer.

You deserve it.

Scale all the way back my guy.

lol people keep trying to take this conversation from Black women to Black people overall...and the reality is:

Black men experienced a net employment GAIN in 2025. This conversation about rising unemployment among Black people is SPECIFICALLY about Black women. Literally.

According to the latest #jobsday report, Black women's unemployment is UP nearly 2 PERCENT since last year.

Read that again.

I worked in restaurants for 10 years and knew a dozen charismatic dirtbag bartenders with severe personality issues and the state of Maine is acting like this guy is a unicorn

they knew they could get away with it because they practiced all those times on the “narco-terrorist” boats, where they also killed the survivors, and nobody sent them to The Hague about it so they are running completely unchecked right now with full use of the arsenal. I do not know how this ends

I think it reveals the main goal of the c-suite in pursuing genAI is to increase labor precarity. The ability to fire untold numbers of workers because of AI, even if the AI isn't working, is enough.

One of the elementary schools in Talmage’s school district had an ICE car drive around and then try to park in the parking lot this morning before being chased away.
