RE: https://mastodon.social/@jagsworkshop/116461068034517578 Hawaiʻi Senate Bill 2471 “would emphasize that corporations are ‘artificial persons’ and “make clear that the powers of corporations do not include spending money or contributing ‘anything of value’ to influence elections or ballot measures.” A novel approach to constrain corporate “personhood.”

RE: https://mastodon.social/@jagsworkshop/116462060927779209 All of this upheaval because Mark Zuckerberg chases technological fantasies with the attention span of a gerbil. I have every confidence that he’ll be as successful with his AI machinations as he was with virtual reality.

RE: https://mastodon.social/@jagsworkshop/116004507381158378 Claudette Colvin is not a name most people know. She refused to give up her bus seat to a white woman, inspired by what she learned in her segregated school during “Negro history month.” She declared to the police who dragged her from the bus, “It’s my constitutional right to sit here as much as that lady.” She died two weeks ago.
