How media enables white supremacy.

First pic: How NY Times depicted an unarmed Black teen killed by law enforcement—“problematic & no Angel.”

Second Pic: How NY Times depicts a white woman who unapologetically stole $700M & harmed countless people—“a loving mother & a new beginning.”

Frankly, I’m tired of new social media platforms that launch with “invites only.” It’s giving a “all the cool kids are here!” vibe. Now people are begging for invites and even trying to sell them. History repeats and folk learn nothing. I’m content here on Mastodon.

Question for fellow Black Mastodon users: What’re your feelings about #Bluesky? #BlackTwitter #BlackMastodon #Blackfediverse

Not only does Elon Musk not have a clue what he’s talking about, but this is *exactly* what he tried to do at PayPal, claiming it needed a full “V2” rewrite of the code when it didn’t.

Instead, it shifted resources away from key areas, caused PayPal to lose much more money to fraud, and eventually got him ousted as CEO.

Last month, I wrote about Elon Musk’s time at PayPal and how he’s repeating his mistakes from that period: https://www.disconnect.blog/p/elon-musk-wants-to-relive-his-start
