Not going to share the videos, but ICE beat the shit out of some protestors in Frederick, MD who were camped out in a neighborhood protecting their neighbors from getting kidnapped. Fuck ICE

One of my best friends moved to the area. ☺️ I haven't seen her in years and she is coming over tonight. I'm so excited!

Created this for a reply on LinkedIn, but it applies pretty generally, so posting it here, too:

I kid you not, our paper on spatial apartheid was reviewed by apartheid itself. Literally, the (extremely famous) journal sent it to white South African reviewers who pointed out all these "papers" written by white South Africans DURING apartheid, that we failed to cite.

More often it comes in the form of anonymous reviewers saying a topic does not matter; of journal editors saying Black thought is outside of scope; of people on hiring committees questioning the rigor of Black Studies (broadly defined) as a disciplinary approach.

Apparently people are sharing this far and wide on social media, which I think is horrible. This could cripple ICE operations. PLEASE do not share this.

Is the U.S. anti-Black and racist? Of course. Does this mean that Jeffries and others should escape criticism? NO. You signed up to do politics and therefore you should be critiqued like other politicians [not more and not less].

There's a difference between "tough on crime🤡" democrats and good politicians. And no, not all Progressive Dems are good. If Bernie had been mayor of NYC, crime would have gone *up*. 🤷🏿‍♂️ The specific policies that reduce violent crime have been well understood for decades. This isn't complicated.

Stop referring to “the AI market.” Unless you’re competing with OpenAI, that’s not your market. Chatbots, SEO tools, content-creation, design tools, and other now-AI-based applications are vying within existing, saturated markets. Hard to win there:

AI startups require new strategies: This time it’s actually different

The typical dynamics between startups and incumbents do not apply in AI as they did in previous technology revolutions like mobile and the Internet. Ignore this at your peril.

People are arguing with me that Gen AI is better than books for kids. Gen AI is trained on books! I'd rather go to the source than something that is built on theft. Also, Gen AI will hallucinate. I don't want to expose a developing child to wrong information. arstechnica.com/ai/2025/06/a...

Anthropic destroyed millions of print books to build its AI models

Technology being everywhere doesn’t mean it belongs everywhere. The tech industry wants us to believe that AI in early education is not only inevitable, but necessary. We don't see it that way. This week, we announced a moratorium on generative AI for public school students in 2-K to 8th grade.

We devoted the entire (penultimate!) episode of Hard Fork to METR's investigation of the Hugging Face attack, and before I even woke up @deepa.bsky.social has scooped a *second*, previously unknown rogue OpenAI agent swarm attack www.reuters.com/world/europe...

EXCLUSIVE: OpenAI agents hijacked German website in previously undisclosed AI breakout this spring

A swarm of rogue OpenAI agents hijacked a German website this spring and transformed it into a bulletin board for other AI agents, according to ​new research and two people familiar with the matter.

if there are people at 1password making the racists afraid to be openly racist at work, a genuine thank you. no one is paid enough to do that work but it’s not to be taken for granted, also sorry you work with scumbags and your ceo is a colossal baby with no swag
