I don’t use AI because I’m infuriated for the artists and writers and philosophers who’ve had their intellectual property stolen. I also hate boring and impersonal shit. If someone can’t be bothered to write something, why should I be bothered to read it?

I will never get over how a handful of tech bros set billions of dollars on fire to build a plagiarism machine that doesn't work and will destroy human society when they could have used a fraction of that money to fund a new golden age of creativity and knowledge.

People need to understand just how openly genocidal the rhetoric on the far right is getting towards transgender people. They're openly talking about eradicating us and forcefully mass institutionalizing all trans people. These are people with direct ties to the Trump administration.

For the first time in 111 years, a President is planning to fire a sitting Fed governor—and of course, it’s the first Black woman, Lisa Cook. Trump’s message is clear: when Black women rise, he’ll do anything to push us down. Newsflash: we’re not going anywhere.

Black churches were not born out of choice but out of necessity. When white racism and segregation barred our people from worshiping with dignity, we built our own sanctuaries, where we could pray without humiliation, lead without permission, and create our community without begging for acceptance 👇🏾

The clearest picture of corporate greed in this country is CEO-to-worker pay ratios. At the 100 lowest-paying major US companies, CEO pay averaged $17.2M in 2024. Median worker pay at these companies was just $35,570. That’s a ratio of 632 to 1. How can anyone defend this?
