One of the tiny horrible things about losing someone is witnessing your shared language go extinct. Like, you know how when you spend so much time together you start to talk like each other? Losing that is such a tiny, painful death.

Yesterday, I graduated from UT Austin with my doctorate in African & African Diaspora Studies and was hooded by my advisor Dr. Simone Browne. Thank you for all of your support. Without so many of you, this day would have never come. It’s officially official- Dr. Z. 🤍

Dodger Stadium is the home to the seven-time world champion Los Angeles Dodgers. But in the 1950s, the land around it belonged to families who are now seeking reparations for what they lost. My latest — (gift link, no paywall)

I try to avoid dunking on here and conspiracy theorizing anywhere. but it's worth reflecting on the very nakedly organized effort in this country (particularly in Florida) to make sure schoolchildren never know the answer to this question or questions like it

yes!! i worked with a brand that pulled tons of their slogans and “how to” guides from chatgpt and then i’d start googling/checking for plagiarism and it was like “yeah so that slogan is used by another brand” or “that’s copied from a men’s health article that already exists”

During the WGA meeting last week, someone called AI a “plagiarism machine.” Because AI doesn’t just make stuff out of nothing. It steals scraps of real voices, real art, real labor, chews them up and spits them out. It’s robotic theft. It’s lazy AND unethical. twitter.com/discussingfilm…

I can’t say this enough Detroit is an amazing city. I’ve met people in the street they show love. The shows have been amazing. The food is good. They bought tickets early. One of my favorite places to perform. Never disappoints.

This is a false claim that's been previously debunked. All but one of the tweets in that image, which Senator Ted Cruz shared in the aftermath of last year's mass shooting in Uvalde, are fake. twitter.com/Shayan86/statu… politifact.com/factchecks/202…

50k and then there’s commission (which we can no longer write off bc of Trump) and then NY and CA taxes. And remember we’re taxed on the amount pre-commission which sucks. So you’re actually netting 25-30k for a process that can take a year-forever. So yeah it’s shitty money!

This is like when people wanted a “White Association for the Advancement of Colored People,” like they wanted a WAACP. They thought the N in NAACP stood for “Negro,” or “Nigger.”
