All of this could have been prevented if the majority of Americans voted for Harris instead.

I saw him sharing this guy’s ignorant tweet that Macaulay Culkin throw up a gang sign. I commented under this guys post that Culkin fingerspelled NYC then signed ILY Sign. So many people are so pissed that I ruined their ignorance parties. Saying I don’t know how to take a joke. 😂🍿🤷🏾‍♂️

So what about ASL, Spanish, indigenous languages, etc? Our languages are not “official”? What are the implications of this executive order?

Lmao! This AI is missing human touch, no facial expressions, non-manual markers. Doubt AI knows how to do ASL storytelling, classifiers, Nothing like that. 😂😂😂 AI can’t replace US.

My friend hit me up with this screenshot. SMH. This is sad. Accessibility is humans right. #accessibility
