John Oliver and Co did a great explanation of what public media does, and who exactly the funding recission actually hurts (Hint: it's not liberal elites.) Also very proud to see my old friend and former WBEZ reporter Lauren Chooljian featured for her amazing work.

I'm Black and I'm Latin. Connected to and disconnected from both in many ways. I just want to know where I'm from, but historical white destruction has made that so damn difficult. I just needed a quick shout into the void. Be safe, cousins.

Who could’ve predicted this, other than every single critical data studies scholar, who’ve been highlighting data bias issues for years and years?
Given this previous knowledge, it’s criminal that this technology has been deployed at scale. A triumph of willful ignorance and wishful thinking.

I just called Disney+ to cancel my account and had the most joyful interaction with an operator who was laughing the entire time about how many people had canceled today.

I can only imagine how it feels to spend an entire day witnessing how many people want to stop fascism.

A professor at Texas A&M taught… something related to gender that offended a student, who secretly filmed herself objecting. That video is picked up by TX legislators, who demand her firing, and now the dean and dept head have been fired.

“Anti-trans harassment and violence is all the rage. Trans people are afraid to leave the country, let alone leave their houses. The right-wing ecosystem has gladly spent years creating these conditions, while Democrats have by turns avoided saying anything about them at all” 😞
