No, it’s not the media literacy crisis’ fault that you can’t figure out how Black folks being surrounded by a known & documented hate group is a problem. That’s not a lack of media literacy. That’s a lack of humanity.

GOOD NEWS: South Carolina’s Senate rejected the current administration’s push to redraw congressional maps. This comes after a panel of judges in Alabama blocked their state from using its redrawn maps, saying that the new map would discriminate against Black voters.

It is dishonest to tell people who are using a phone or posting on social that their usage is the same as people who generate entire “albums”, “books”, “artwork”, & “movies” or folks who use generative systems in most of their work...

Still processing today’s SCOTUS ruling essentially weakening the Voting Rights Act, but I am grieved: my elders who fought for the Voting Rights Act my ancestors who died for it my people still robbed of their voice our children who may ultimately have to endure the fallout of these rulings.

I’m blocking everyone who pushes AI Every ai “model” Every ai “influencer” Every ai “artist” Every ai “writer” Every ai “content creator” Every ai “performer” All of them. The BEST any of these ai folks can do is copy or steal from living, breathing, talented people. No thank you.

We are starting to see avid, active, and loud supporters of this administration jump ship because they realize it’s sinking, & the grift is over. Don’t fall for it. Remind them that they were emphatically in support of the horrors of this administration until they started to affect them personally.

It’s Earth Day & it’s a good day to remind you that AI is polluting the planet -It can only use the small amount of the drinkable water to cool its systems, some require up to 5 MILLION GALLONS A DAY -It uses so much electricity, the typical data center uses as much energy as 100K households
