What'd we say back in the day? "Damn, that music was WACK."
They really need to go back to these cities in the US and see how it was DONE back in the day.
Get some coaches who were on the streets doing it back then! NYC, Chicago, LA, like... come on!

I was getting anxiety just watching the breakdancing. Like... is the world going to see this and think this is how Black/POC folks did it?
But is the world ready to see REAL FLAVOR? 🤔

Ok but... I'm 110% in favor of adding Vogueing and Ballroom (the POC queer kind) as the next Olympic sport.

Them dancers went HARD, for recognition in the black queer community.
(Anybody else in favor of replacing Olympic Speed Walking with Vogueing?)

Again, a Black/POC queer culture thing that started in NYC and other cities & spread across the globe.
But again... folks are gonna need proper coaches! *ACTUAL* folk that toured the Ballroom scene!😫

A Stanford University psychologist has claimed he has built AI that is capable of detecting things like your intelligence, sexual preferences, and political leanings with a great degree of accuracy — just by scanning your face.

If this sounds like a recipe for disaster, it’s supposed to. Kosinski says he has created it as a warning that facial recognition technology could have implications for our privacy and civil liberties in the age of artificial intelligence — but why does his research feel like it's just opening Pandora’s Box? Futurism has more.

Scientist Claims His AI Can Tell Disturbing Things About You Just by Looking at Your Face

Michal Kosinski, Stanford psychologist, claims that AI programs can detect people's IQ, sexual orientation, and politics by scanning faces.

Futurism

Officially joining the ranks of people who have had their minds blown by I Saw the TV Glow.

Pure weapons grade nuclear trans horror.

I am going to be thinking about it for days. I am so, so fucking happy and thankful for transition; celebrating all my trans brothers and sisters in my heart today - those who made it and those who didn't.

There's still time.

Please, if you are not a person of African descent, reconsider creating 1st-level toots using the #BlackTwitter #BlackMastodon #BlackFedi or #BlackFediverse, etc, hashtags. In this moment of flux, a lot of Black folks are trying to find each other via these hashtags. It might be more considerate to use #BlackTwitterAllies and other such hashtags to show support for Black communities without co-opting them.

Happy Kwanzaa! #Kwanzaa #BlackMastodon #Mastodon

@axeshun You need to know that Lakotaman1 is a fraud. He perpetuates harmful stereotypes about Indigenous people & most of what he says are fabrications & gross misinformation. He does this to get attention from Non-Native people. Native people do not support him & he blocks most of us & will not listen to us.

He does not represent us. He claims to have expertise in a total lack of humility that is delusional & bizarre. He harms us all.

Nothing unites Indigenous people more than #LandBack and our shared hatred of Avatar.

And this brings me to today's curious coda. Last week, we lost a silver ring around the house or yard.

As I mentioned earlier, my crows don't tend to bring gifts. But this morning as I went out to give them their snack, there was the ring, plain as day, right in the spot where I feed them.

Now it's entirely possible that we lost it there and didn't notice for a few days. But it seems odd given how many times I've passed that spot since. I have my guesses, but I'll let you make up your mind.

If we're keeping it real, a lot of people that have BLM, Land Back, and Ally in their profile would rather see the fediverse fail than become a safe place for Black, Brown and Indigenous people.
