  San Francisco is unlikely to have a Mamdani or an AOC, because the voting base is both too anti-Black, and doesn't have enough Black people in it. So I think if a Mamdani did show up, SF would reject them. The person would look like a Matt Haney + a Chesa Boudin. They would reduce crime, make a bunch of quality of life improvements, help small businesses... and then get recalled because they weren't mean enough to Black people or homeless people. 🤷🏿‍♂️ Mamdani and AOC are successful because...

  🤦🏿‍♂️ No. This is not true. Extreme wealth does not turn you into a fascist. https://www.theguardian.com/books/2026/sep/12/naomi-klein-extreme-wealth-has-a-deranging-effect-it-turns-you-into-a-supremacist White people that don't know anything, but that think that they do, and don't talk to or listen to enough Black people, believe this garbage.

  🤷🏿‍♂️Coulda had Crockett... Think about that as we see Talarico go on Fox News and throw the 10 trans kids in sports under the bus. The "We must protect women and girls!🤡" crowd supposedly means cis women and girls. But they go to WNBA games, specifically to harass Black cis women. Because Black cis women typically don't tolerate transphobia against children in their name. Watch the whole video.

  Listen. There are few hard and fast rules in information security. The closest thing to an absolute rule is: "If a recovering crackhead, with a history of losing laptops with sensitive data on them, asks you to give them your database of personally identifiable customer information? Say no."🤷🏿‍♂️

  How a normal person would handle this passenger saying he can't get out: 👮🏻‍♂️: Please exit the vehicle. 🧔🏿‍♂️: I can't. 👮🏻‍♂️: Why not? 🧔🏿‍♂️: The inside door handle jammed when the driver crashed. Can you open it using the outside handle right in front of you? I'll happily exit the vehicle. 👮🏻‍♂️: If this door is jammed, then why don't you go out the other door then? 🧔🏿‍♂️: Um... you are holding my wrists? 👮🏻‍♂️: Ah! So if I let go of your wrists, you can use the other door? 🧔🏿‍♂️: Cor...

  For uneducated Americans only (because almost everyone else in the world knows this already): "Inshallah" is not a Muslim phrase. Inshallah is an Arabic phrase. Christians that speak Arabic, say inshallah. "Allah" is how you say God in Arabic. "Inshallah" is how you say "God willing" in Arabic.

  Don't listen to me! Seriously! I'm just some dude on the internet. I just talk. They let anyone make an account here. No vetting!

  For all the weirdos that think that I hate everyone in Argentina🤡, or that I think that the whole country is racist🤡 When the entire Argentina team tried to disrespect Spain by turning their backs like children playing Star Trek Klingons, Flaco Lopez stood alone and faced Spain, showing respect♥️👍🏿 https://m.youtube.com/shorts/e1qWoRlEcRE

  [CW: discussion of violence and SA] Andrew Tate is not being kept in the Secure Housing Unit (SHU) because he is a dangerous prisoner, or to punish him. He's being put there because prison administration puts all accused child sex offenders there automatically, so that they don't get stabbed.

  RE: https://hachyderm.io/@mekkaokereke/116967209619847979 I like the good Argentinians. But I grow weary of these weird Argentinians that can't cope with the fact that Blanqueamiento happened, that it was intentional, that it was almost complete, and that the people that designed it wrote books and articles bragging about the worst parts of it as it was happening. I don't debate Holocaust deniers about Germany. And I'm not going to debate people that have internet access, and can g...

  I've never been more ashamed and proud at the same time? World Cup half-time show? We SuperBowl'd the World Cup! The World Bowl? The Super Cup? Anyway, I like how they couldn't choose a half-time performer, so they just went with "all of them!" 🤷🏿‍♂️

  While we're talking about all of the racist Roman profile pics not coping well with "All your Greek gods were actually African gods, your civilization is just copied homework of our civilization" Let me summarize the controversy around the Black Athena book using contemporary examples. 1/7

  OK I saw the Odyssey, and yeah, it's that good. Christopher Nolan's brain works differently. No spoilers, but it was phenomenal the restraint he showed in creating a terrifying world-ending villain. He captured the myth and sense of unstoppable destruction that was Agamemnon. I wouldn't have thought to cast Benny Safdie. But all the casting worked. Fails the Bechdel test, but then you already knew that.🤷🏿‍♂️

  Again for people (racists), complaining about falling birth rates: The birth rate for women over 40 is not falling. The birth rate for women over 30 is not falling. What's happening, is girls 15 to 17 are having fewer babies. Kids are having fewer kids. Also, this is an interesting way of saying that "Teen pregnancy is down, due to sex education and contraception." In 1991 25% of 15 year olds gave birth before they turned 21. That's bad. Now it's 6%. That's better....

  They wrote down that their plan is to eliminate *legal* immigration from China and India. They wrote down that university and PhD programs are a big problem, because they create large numbers of legal non-white immigrants. Guess which two countries send the most international PhD students? 🇮🇳🇨🇳♥️🕊️ https://www.bostonglobe.com/2026/07/16/metro/trump-immigration-boston-university/

  Happy #BlackHistoryMonth ! I still haven't made it to Black history yet. I'm still on white US history. Q: Not everything is racism! E.g. Black folk die young because of high BMI from their bad diets! That's on y'all! Don't hate on Lululemon leggings or khaki pants! Hate yourself! We're only trying to help you! How is this racism?

  The Argentinian player that scored the 1st goal against England, is the same one that uploaded a social media video of himself singing racist and transphobic songs about Black French players. The transphobia was included to insult Kylian Mbappé, and to isolate trans people from public life.

  For Black folk that didn't grow up speaking Spanish *only*: Question: * Why don't the other South American fans like Argentina? * Why do so many of the good and kind players and fans from Argentina ♥️🕊️make such a big point of being vocally anti-racist? * Why did nazis choose Argentina? Why do most countries in South America have people that are Black, white, indigenous, and mixed, but Argentina (and Uruguay) seem super white? Answer: Blanquemiento.

  Let's play a *fun little game called Do Lives Matter! I've shared that there are ~50 million Black people in the US and ~50 million immigrants. There are 22,000 ICE agents going out every day with an arrest quota to detain immigrants, whether they commit a crime or not. I've also shared that most of what US police departments do, by time, by numbers of officers, by budget, by arrest codes, is arrest non-violent and innocent Black people for minor offenses. Many police departments...

  This is absolutely awful. No one should be shot in the street for no reason. ICE has shot at least 4 people to death in 2026. Two times 4 people, is 8 people. 2 X that is 16 people. 2 X again is 32. 2 X again is 64. 2 X again is 128. Cops have killed 153 Black people so far this year. There are about the same number of Black people as immigrants in the United States (both ~50 million people). So the difference of 20X in the number of police shootings is significant. https://www.presshe...

  RE: https://mastodon.world/@jblue/116908292371948193 This is from 2013, and hasn't been commercialized yet. ClearVue uses a different approach to accomplish a similar thing. They dope glass with nano particles that scatter IR and UV light towards the edge of the glass, but let most visible light pass through. Then they have traditional PV cells on the edge of the glass. Smart. ClearVue have their tech in some commercial installations already. https://www.clearvuepv.com/project/warwick-sh...

  Separate from "Should we ban Black users for not being sufficiently happy that their abuser can't hurt them anymore" is the discourse around "Should Dem politicians say nice things about their 'colleagues' when they pass?" This is complicated, and tied in to the nature of racism in the US.
