You know the drill. Every time someone posts that *older* voters are more likely to be GOP, I'm going to re-share that that is not true. *Whiter* voters are more likely to be GOP.

And the most common age for a Black person in the US is 27. The most common age for a white person is 58.

Daniel Penny murdered Jordan Neely yet it’s Neely being criminalized. It’s interesting how a white man kills a Black man + so begins a national debate about crime that never centers on the white man who committed the crime or his crime.

WATCH FOR MY FULL THOUGHTS: youtu.be/2BDEuxKU_NI
The Murder of Jordan Neely
Daniel Penny choked Jordan Neely to death on a Manhattan subway. Instead of being charged with Murder, Penny was framed as a hero in the media while Neely, the victim, was vilified and blamed for his death. This is the result of the dehumanization of Black and homeless people and the policy choices of Mayor Eric Adams and Governor Kathy Hochul. 0:00 Intro 0:40 America Is Afraid 1:03 Jordan Neely Was Murdered 1:49 Homelessness Is Criminalized 2:31 The Media's Take On Neely 4:18 Bernhard Goetz 6:06 Our Systems Prey On us 6:57 Eric Adams Made It Worse 7:44 Kathy Hochul \u0026 Adams' Response 8:12 Remember This Isn't New 8:45 No Consequences 9:21 Conclusion Follow Olay on twitter: https://twitter.com/msolurin Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/msolurin/ Olay's Website: https://www.olayemiolurin.com/ Subscribe to Olurintatti on Sub Stack: https://olurinatti.substack.com/ Edited By: https://twitter.com/Sherlock0ats

Pilots at Southwest Airlines voted overwhelmingly to authorize a strike.

98% turned out to vote, and *99%* voted to authorize.

The union is now able to call a strike, putting pressure on Southwest to meet pilots' demands.

Reskeet if you love hot union summers!!

It’s clear the goal with Yaccarino is to bring back advertisers, but they’re worried about being on a platform full of hate speech that both she and Musk fully support. Plus, the everything app idea is ridiculous — it’s not what most people want from Twitter.

Hindutva AI, coming to the iPhones of uncles and aunties near you soon —> "Experts have warned that chatbots being allowed to play god might have unintended, and dangerous, consequences." https://restofworld.org/2023/chatgpt-religious-chatbots-india-gitagpt-krishna/
India’s religious AI chatbots are speaking in the voice of god — and condoning violence
Claiming wisdom based on the Bhagavad Gita, the bots frequently go way off script.

i wrote about bluesky, black twitter, and sex work

bluesky has an opportunity to be better than twitter ever was by establishing *early* protections for the marginalized communities that shape its culture

also got "tiddies on the skyline" published on techcrunch dot com

For Bluesky to thrive, it needs sex workers and Black Twitter
If Bluesky wants to be a genuine rival to Twitter, it needs to protect sex workers and its Black community.

It goes without saying, but we’re going to say it anyways

We support the Writers Guild workers on strike, and can’t wait to see their demands met.

The AMPTP are choosing to be greedy instead of working with their workers, despite massive profits.

Solidarity to WGA 💖✊
The Writers are going on strike! Let's go ✊🏻
