And Duke’s not transparent about which nonprofits receive funds, how those decisions are made, and what restrictions are on funds
Even when they’re trying to brag, Duke can’t help showing their paternalism toward Durham

And the $10 million given to nonprofits is ~0.13% of their budget. If my math is right. Feel free to fact-check me @natebakerdurham.bsky.social

This is Willem Arondeus.
He attacked the 1943 Amsterdam civil registry office to destroy records that would be used by the Nazis to identify their targets.
He succeeded, but was captured due to someone betraying him.
His last words were: "Tell people that homosexuals are not cowards."

Today marks the 500th anniversary of Anabaptism. We honor those who resisted church and state violence, rejecting corruption to embody Jesus’ radical way. They built communities of mutual care, economic sharing, and discipleship from below. May we learn from their courage today. #Anabaptism500

I really do believe AI is inherently fascist. Both the resources it takes to generate and the soullessness of its output render it entirely irredeemable, but it also hollows out any meaning we can get from communication and art and reduces human life to an aesthetic it wears like a skinsuit.

You're telling me
that Margo Martindale

were once partners
on a team of character actors who moonlit as private investigators
to supplement film/tv income by busting bad guys with their acting skills
and this has never been adapted into the longest-running show on NBC?

Becoming convinced we don’t have political parties as much as we have 2 denominations: one is mainline, the other offers a prosperity gospel
1. AHHHHH
2. This is why the “Democrats are the party of special interests” attack is so potent. It’s not just a dogwhistle against certain groups; for members of the groups in question if you sell them on “you’re weak, you need a party that helps you” then voting for the other party is “making it.”

Recent local decisions around Durham Public School bussing highlight how absolutely critical it is that we build a city where schools are central, walkable places in our communities.
Urban planning has failed to make this the case for decades and we MUST change that.

![Mary’s Song of Praise
46 And Mary[a] said,
‘My soul magnifies the Lord,
47
and my spirit rejoices in God my Saviour,
48
for he has looked with favour on the lowliness of his servant.
Surely, from now on all generations will call me blessed;
49
for the Mighty One has done great things for me,
and holy is his name.
50
His mercy is for those who fear him
from generation to generation.
51
He has shown strength with his arm;
he has scattered the proud in the thoughts of their hearts.
52
He has brought down the powerful from their thrones,
and lifted up the lowly;
53
he has filled the hungry with good things,
and sent the rich away empty.
54
He has helped his servant Israel,
in remembrance of his mercy,
55
according to the promise he made to our ancestors,
to Abraham and to his descendants for ever.’](https://cdn.bsky.app/img/feed_thumbnail/plain/did:plc:mcutprz6rfgkbggrhrqzlahy/bafkreic3b6efwnoix5poiapviixrstq6of62444y24tkm7dmy2fgbj2kha@jpeg)

Two things can both be true about AI:
1) Many of its outputs are horrifyingly bad, either aesthetically or factually;
2) It’s morally objectionable regardless of the quality of the outputs.

Using anti-Semitic tropes against "Soros,' it seeks to directly target anti-Zionist Jews.

AI is not inevitable. The people who say it is are purposefully obscuring the relations behind AI’s production.
It doesn’t have to exist. It’s just well funded and the people behind it are lobbying against regulation…by getting normal people to say “oh well I guess it has to be like this”
