"If you're stupid it'll make you poor. If you're poor it's because you're stupid."

How Sir Keith Joseph (Thatcher's political Svengali) saw poverty.

It was why he wanted to 'eradicate stupidity' by sterilising poor people*.

Whoa, this is interesting to learn, as a non-American #BlackFriday #USA #History

"Most people are familiar with the 1863 popular version of Sojourner Truth's famous, “Ain’t I a woman” speech but they have no idea that this [...] is vastly different from Sojourner’s original 1851 speech. [...]

"The popular but inaccurate version was written and published in 1863 [...] by a white abolitionist named Frances Dana Barker Gage. [...] chose to represent Sojourner speaking in a stereotypical 'southern black slave accent', rather than in Sojourner’s distinct upper New York State low-Dutch accent. [...]

"By changing Truth's words and her dialect to that of a stereotypical southern slave, Frances Gage effectively erased Sojourner’s Dutch heritage and her authentic voice. As well as unintentionally adding to the oversimplification of the American slave culture and furthering the eradication of our nations Northern slave history."

Getting enough sleep is very important, which is why it’s one of the first things I do after my alarm goes off in the morning.

It's gradual beta - just like me tooting on here. Self-promotion over 😅

I'll prob just delete if goes wrong & you never saw this....

Facebook/Meta’s and its law firm Gibson Dunn were fined and sanctioned by US Courts for their terrible and obstructive conduct during the now settled #CambridgeAnalytica class action #DataPrivacy lawsuit in California. Read the actions of bad actors who successfully stonewalled the system and shielded Zuckerberg and Sandberg from depositions, when money was no object and the lawyers were willing to act badly to help hide the truth. https://storage.courtlistener.com/recap/gov.uscourts.cand.327471/gov.uscourts.cand.327471.1104.0_1.pdf

Works like a charm.

Two roads diverged in a yellow wood,
And sorry I could not travel both
And be one traveler, long I stood...

Best part? We get to turn around the mathwashing right back at them.

"Oh, you're AI model is neutral, objective, and unbiased? Great, can I train it on your corporate communications and see if it stays that way?.."

My favorite dinosaur.

Hey humans
I am so excited to announce our Season two is in the works. Cannot wait to get back to it. What a gift this show is for me.

Welp... Friendship ended with #WotC; now #Paizo is my new best friend.

Where's the #TTRPG community here in the fediverse? I need to virtually elbow some ribs with a "holy shit did you *see* that!" while we share a laugh at WotC's PR crash n burn of the day.

accidentally wrote "saad" instead of "saas" in a text to my partner; they immediately coined "Software as a Disappointment"

and honestly, where is the lie

"What struck me was our administration’s proud advertisement of our school as having 'a diverse student body,' while not celebrating that diversity."
