It makes me feel 100% justified in my skepticism of "America's racial reckoning." I'd argue that between making DEI anathema, threatening Brown v. Board, and continued erosion of the Voting Rights Act, the proverbial foot is off the gas, on the brake, and the gear is shifted to reverse.

I would love for someone to catalog all the performative shit white people pulled after May/June 2020 so they could see and hear themselves then, fawning over justice, and somehow juxtapose it against all the vehement, unashamed backlash that's happened since on police reform and more.

My sister-in-law has a great term “Awfulizer” which means looking at the worst possibility of a situation. It’s the “it’s sunny for the picnic but it could rain, flood, and kill us all” way of thinking. We all know that person.

Haha. I think some peoole just love to hate her, but the truth is that Meghan's entry, and then exit, of that country and institution has them all fascinated by her sense of self, grace, and integrity. All qualities they wish the other one possessesd instead.

Probably one of the most chilling realizations from Jan6 was how close we came to a catastrophic loss from this seditious attack. It still both angers and sickens me.

I was thinking about the late Gordon Bell and my early days in the computer industry. So, some visuals. . . The 1st b+w picture is GB in 1964, obviously in The Mill! That sexist b+w picture is obviously 1960's PR. And there's the PDP-8 with that removable 1 MB hard disk. 🤣 😂 🤣

Happy 80th Birthday to legend Patti LaBelle (born May 24, 1944) whose music has brightened our world. Labelle's powerful What Can I Do For You? (1974) reminds us a better future is possible if we choose love over hate. #music #spoutingmusic #spoutingclassics #soul #funk #Labelle #PattiLaBelle

I am incredibly cautious about interacting with former Twitter employees because Elon is litigious, and I don't want him accusing us of stealing his tech. However, please feel free to share any thoughts/ideas on the subject.
