This guy has been doing some of the best journalism in America. From a motorhome. Interesting to see him doing an HBO special. Check him out and look at some of his other work.
If I was still wasting my days at #Twitter, I would never have seen this amazing post - filled with great information skillfully presented.
Once again, #Mastodon blows my mind. And this happens every day here on the #fediverse
Elon can shove his algorithms up his racist ass.
A week ago I wrote about how the black lives matter movement wasn't exactly new-- how it was linked to a longer history of police brutality and fighting back against that brutality.
One of the most difficult things to understand about racism in America is how few of the worst atrocities are recorded, well known, brought to justice.
A story my dad told me made this terribly clear. 🧵
1) Black voters are the backbone of the #DemocraticParty.
2) More Black Americans live in #Texas than any other state
3) I am seeking the #Democratic nomination for #Senate to #DefeatTedCruz
4) Pls help spread the word!

Writing styles of #Grover & #Proudhon are remarkably similar (not kidding!), further convincing me that #SesameStreet is an #anarchist collective, run by #muppets, in the heart of NYC
I saw this post from @BlackAzizAnansi that Mastodon remains an overwhelmingly white space and I can't refute that, but I'm angry that it is this way. My experience in tech is that there's no shortage of black talent or black voices, there's a shortage of black opportunity and space due to racism. I see that reflected here. I feel like if we want a #blackmastodon then we can't be passive about this, we have to be intentionally inclusive, intentionally anti-racist. It's not enough to just support.
With greater adoption of Masto comes more likelihood of running across jackasses in your feed.
Do yourself the favor of adopting the Ambercadabra Zero Strikes rule (patent pending).
Life is too short to tolerate random strangers being jerks. Mute, block, unfollow liberally and often and protect your peace on the big wild internet so you can make room for people who don't make being keyboard warriors their whole personality. Trust me that it's better this way.
So Jesus physically ascended into heaven. Doubting Thomas got schooled on the subject. The burning question for me has always been, where is he now? I mean, if he ascended physically, he must be sitting somewhere waiting to come back. Is he on the moon? Is he sitting in the Bahamas with SBF? Is he in heaven? If heaven is a physical place, then do I have to die to get there? Questions. I have a lot of questions.
Jiu-jitsu liberal. Couldn't drink well enough to be a writer or a lawyer. Became a stoned philosopher instead. Sometimes pay the bills.
