This is perfect. It could be diagramed like a poem for its layers and meanings. I feel such a sense of genuine loss this morning.
Rev. Jesse Jackson has died at 84.
No social media post could do justice to such a large and consequential life.
His 1988 speech to the Democratic National Convention is easily one of the most remarkable — and personal — political addresses you’ll ever hear.

Rev. Jesse Jackson as he rightly noted in 2024 "was the first American presidential candidate to raise the issue of Palestinian human rights." He added, "Our histories from South Africa to Palestine, to right here in the United States of America, are inextricably combined"

🗃️ Tyler Austin Harper’s insane Andrew Mellon Foundation hit piece, which of course @theatlantic.com was happy to print, has rightfully pissed off everyone in the Humanities.
As someone who works in higher education funding, here is a 🧵 on why this article is even more infuriating than you think.

The Andrew W. Mellon Foundation has become the country’s preeminent funder of humanities research, Tyler Austin Harper writes. Is it saving American arts and letters—or killing them?
What Is the Mellon Foundation Doing to Higher Education?
Its role as the country’s preeminent funder of humanities research has granted the foundation—and its president—enormous influence over American arts and letters.

I fear that men are about to do what men do. They are about to characterize any sober thinking about power as non-technical and therefore unserious.
We have seen this pattern over and over again in tech criticism. Women and people of color repeatedly lead on understanding tech changes.

Also super lazy not to look at the proposed AI Civil Rights Act from @markey.senate.gov, @repyvetteclarke.bsky.social & others, which has 80+ endorsements from civil rights, consumer, tech policy, civil liberties, and labor orgs. Like… there is a consensus progressive AI proposal and it’s AICRA.
Imagine writing whole thing the newspaper about what “The Left” should do about. A.I. without citing or even apparently reading a single person beyond Freddie DeBoer.

Right now, “left-wing discourse on A.I. feels like a collection of irritable mental gestures in search of a consistent theme,” our columnist Ross Douthat writes.

Highlighting the speaker who stood in front of the Surprise mayor and told him to consider what the Mayor of Ohrdruf must’ve thought before he died by suicide: “He might have thought ‘how is this my fault I had no jurisdiction over this’ maybe he said ‘this site was not subject to local zoning.’”

Best historic home tour in the city. Mid 70s interior design at its best.
I kicked off Black History Month in Corona at the home of Louis Armstrong, who lived in our city for more than 30 years. Walking through his house and hearing how much New York meant to him was a powerful reminder of what this city owes to Black artists and culture.

Ok not the point but as a person who is perpetually dodging networking events of any and all kinds I am baffled by how much time these people like to spend going to Important Dinners.
From the Epstein files: were Paul Volker and Tom Brokaw really members of a secret society with a "no minorities or women allowed" rule? Brokaw is still around -- worth asking him!

The real appeal of AI is that it’s a way to make it even harder for people to use basic services that might cost a company some money. None of the people promoting this will ever have to go through an AI agent for anything, especially not healthcare.
