Rewatching Ghost in the Shell Stand Alone Complex. Stands up amazingly well, and I am still prompted to think about its central question - what does it mean to be human? And, secondarily, how vast will the gulf between those who live in the past (less tech) and the future (current tech) get?

It was a mistake to not curate my feed here better. I hardly ever check it because it's just the same misery as other places, but moreso. I hate this timeline.

In 2020, I wrote in the Washington Post about the Ocoee massacre in Florida, interviewed descendants of survivors whose properties were stolen, wrote about the possibility of a mass grave by the lake as big as the one found in Tulsa, and…
Nothing happened. They put up a plaque.

I’m no political expert but if Republicans start gutting social security and any Democrat responds with “I understand the need for reform, but” instead of “Social Security is good and works fine” that Democrat should be exiled like a stupid Napoleon

The fuck, Neil. And Amanda. While I never built my identity around being a fan of either artist, I found all of this absolutely heartbreaking and disgusting. Shame on them both for taking advantage of these vulnerable women.

An incredibly well-researched piece on the horrors of Neil Gaiman. It is extremely upsetting and explicit. Please be careful reading it.

Diversity and Inclusion goals ensure qualified women and minorities are given the same due as white men. That's it. DEI is still very necessary. Accomplished women developers are still being told to put on lipstick and have proposals rejected when mediocre men pass the bar.

Important. They used this same argument to round up Japanese Americans after Pearl Harbor using the military and to force us from our homes and into internment camps. Never again.

There's something very telling about a "Black, queer" AI bot from Meta. Compliant AI to give the illusion of diversity on services that do nothing to protect marginalised people from online abuse.

Interesting reading. I knew about how professions are devalued once women get into them, but didn't know all college enrollment was down for male students. Hm
This is fascinating. And believable.

Women are now 60% of college enrollment. This piece argues the anti-woke media denigration of college goes hand in hand with "male flight" from classrooms they see with too many women.
