On MLK Day 2021, his family posted this picture of him. Seeing him in color reminded me that our history is not that far behind us. Seeing him at home with his kids broke me.

The only thing I would add to this is that these companies WANT this to happen.

They know that the banks will be bailed out.

And when bubbles burst, it's an opportunity. The opportunity to scramble.

I'm sad to share that Jellybean Johnson, founding member and drummer of The Time, has passed away. He was an innovator of the Minneapolis Sound, appeared in 'Purple Rain,' and produced Janet Jackson's "Black Cat." He died suddenly Friday night at 69.

Do you mean misinformation via racism is a global product and by focusing on the interference not the racism we have lost years of ability to actually crowd source?

"Witchcraft has always been painted as a negative, evil thing. But I realized, by playing Annie ... the whole reason why it’s been painted as negative is because it’s so powerful. The colonizer needs us to be disconnected and fear ourselves in order to fall in line."

Turns out this was all much ado about nothing and Google isn’t using your Gmail to train AI and if wanna turn all that stuff back on you can get your spam filters back
Looks like the article has been updated to suggest maybe they misread the policy.

I see people complaining that this also disabled their spam filters, though I still see new messages showing up in spam so it's still working fine for me after disabling things.

Did you know that Gmail can use your emails and attachments for its smart features? Here's how to check your settings.

You’re not beholden to respond to every rando that decides to challenge you on something just b/c they had or are having one bad experience. Some people on this app simply like being argumentative and confrontational for the sake of it (especially twitter/X refugees) and nobody is entertaining that.

"Odds Against Tomorrow" is one of the first #FilmNoir to have a Black protagonist (played by Harry Belafonte).

Bigoted ex-con Earl Slater agrees to take part in a bank robbery with former cop Burke, but hesitates when he finds out that one of his partners is Black.

One of the most obvious differences I see having embedded with health teams in South Africa and Uganda is that the workers doing outreach, field testing & med care in both countries are all Black, but it SA all the middle & upper managers are white while in Uganda all the managers are still Black

👋🏿 I'm 3 years into a fundraiser to support my journey of becoming a midwife, I'm STRUGGLING to take these very last steps. Finishing the $7889 left on this campaign would secure essential transportation to get to births and let me connect the pieces of my training and commitment to community birth.

On December 3, 2025, my short film Black Santa's Revenge starring Ken Foree will make its Patreon debut. This short film is filled with violence, profanity, and pointless nudity...and it will be available for screening on Patreon to all paid subscribers. patreon.com/davidfwalker
