oh yeah totally, trying to get other people to change that isn't a hill I want to die on. (Which is also a fucked up idiom, come to think of it.)
Just trying to rephrase something I was trying to say: "interviewing is a black box." "Interviewing doesn't give much feedback" works, I suppose!

is the term "black box" racist? Especially since the flight recording box on planes isn't actually black?
If so are there good alternative terms?

Everything happening now has a precedent. This is not new. Please understand that everything happening now is very American. The only change is that it is happening on camera to middle income white people. Ask BIPOC and low income white people about abuses by the state.

I took a free Stop the Bleed course yesterday. Totally worth spending 2 hours learning how to give a gunshot or accident victim a better chance of survival.

If you can imagine a world where we stop all of the ICE raids of 2025, and *go back* to the still present, but lower level of abuse that happened to immigrants 1 year ago in 2024...
Then you can imagine a world where we *go forwards* and undo mass incarceration of Black people.

I want to support more artists who are marginalized, and have portfolios of work on melanated skin. And right now there isn't a good way to sort for that except manually.

you are so much more powerful than the ghouls using your healthcare as a political pawn, and you WILL outlive them (they know this, and it is why they're attacking you)

The govt is sending scary letters to companies that make binders. I'm incensed.
If you need some new binders, it might be good to stock up now.

no joke, this is a realer issue than you even know if you touched grass in the late 2010s. Generative AI is just where NFT dudes went next, but AGI is a religious project to bring about the Singularity so our souls will be emulated forever in Computer Heaven.
I think we need a full accounting of which of the tech executives think Roko’s Basilisk is real I really think we deserve full transparency on which of them genuinely think they’re building a computer god who will punish them if it’s not built.
