If you’re a leader and not every single being in your charge has all they need to thrive, you’re basically a tyrant.

How wonderful. Github and many of Github pages have gone down. This is a pretty epic fail.

This is incredible. The New York Times is complaining that "Americans invested billions in Chinese companies" and "now their money is stuck", giving TikTok as a salient example (where international investors, mostly Americans, own 60% of the capital)... omitting to mention the…

Colonial powers have always portrayed anticolonial resistance as savagery.

The racism behind chatGPT that we aren't talking about... This year, I learned that students use chatGPT because they believe it helps them sound more respectable. And I learned that it absolutely does not work. A thread. 🧵

Do you think consumers should have a Right To Repair the items they own? Have the FTC create rules governing consumers’ rights to repair their own devices or have a contractor of their choice do so.  The FTC is taking comments til 2/2/24: regulations.gov/document/FTC-2… #RTR #repair

Self-determination from the global majority ⬇️ This is what it looks like ‼️‼️‼️

There were emotional scenes of celebration when Indigenous groups in Brazil got a ruling from the Supreme Court that will help protect their ancestral lands from mining, drilling and farming ⤵️

“This is, for us, genocide.” Keʻeaumoku Kapu headlines a rare piece in a sea of reporting about the Maui wildfires. @McKayJacqueline’s article in @CBCIndigenous examines it in relation to the erasure of Kānaka Maoli & Hawaiian land rights. A must read. cbc.ca/news/indigenou…

This is super important to keep in mind.

Your regular reminder about LLMs - a 🧵. LLMs are, by nature, a type of ~generative~ AI model (as opposed to, e.g., supervised AI models), and the task that they were trained for is to produce the most plausible next word given an input string. (1/n)

It definitely elicited a deep groan within a pretty fun movie… I couldn’t believe it when I heard it. Went something like: “the patriarchy is to women like smallpox was to Indigenous peoples; they had no defense against it.” 😵‍💫

Imperialism, colonialism, racism, capitalism, and heteropatriarchy "cannot be struggled over only at the level of text and literature."

Yes, that’s why an accurate historical material analysis of race/ism must trace the FULL historical genealogy of Eurocolonial capitalist power dynamics. Eurocolonial capitalists used the labor of displaced & dispossessed enslaved Indigenous peoples (Africans) to develop the…

This absolutely brilliant essay by ⁦@mer__edith⁩ helped me to understand how labor techniques of plantation slavery are built into computational structures—& how these structures have obscured our understandings of Freedom & Unfreedom. It is WOW. logicmag.io/supa-dupa-skie…

Jacobin publishing yet another reactionary article, this time a superficial reading & critique of decolonial thought that assumes it’s a monolith. This article disavows thought situated in sites of struggle. Decolonial thought is apparently hegemonic. jacobinlat.com/2023/04/16/the…
