What we are witnessing, once again, is the alignment of white power against racial justice and redress. We now have a legal landscape that takes the very laws created to eliminate the anti-Black caste system and uses them destroy racial justice efforts. The Supreme Court has determined actual school segregation is fine, but efforts to remedy it are unconstitutional.

this Chloe Honum poem is somehow both the deepest grief and the deepest joy
ALT Offerings I have saved my pantomime of the sky for you. Let me lie with my head in your lap. I will sing the song of the trees in the cold wind, the way they rush up like flames, their leaves rippling. I want to show you everything you might have missed. With my fingers I will emulate moonlight resting on a field of violets. I am about as convincing as the child playing the sun in the school recital. But I have rain in my hair. This much is true. Let me bring it to you.

people who are no longer in school but still actively seek to educate themselves are my heroes. youโre telling me you enjoy learning for its own sake, not for any presumed career benefits but because the world hasnโt crushed your innate curiosity? I love you

Move fast and break things works well when you are doing experiments on your own. Once you sell to the public, and/or subsidize it with tax dollars, regulations need to be there to make things safe. It's not that difficult

AAPI famโฆ.the Supreme Court decision on Affirmative Action is a bad one. Our community is harmed by it. Donโt let anyone fool you.

We accept that money, power, and privilege (through legacy admissions, coaches, tutors and test prep) are acceptable forms of affirmative action, but not anything that could help people from disadvantaged groups.

apparently a lot of cis women need to hear this but a world where our faces, bodies, hair, breasts, clothing and voice are constantly scrutinized as "not feminine enough" is infinitely more dangerous than a world where trans women might also be in the bathroom and need to pee

๐๐ผ The notion that AI is merely a neutral tool reflecting the evils of society is nonsense. It ignores the engineering decisions built into the technology & the assessment of risk that shapes those decisions. And the medium & message are not unrelated.

Democracy depends on people feeling safe in the public square. If they donโt, because itโs ruled by intimidation and threats of violence, they wonโt be able to participate as citizens. Itโs what extremists want: Abolish democracy through violence, coercion, and harassment. 8/

Being afraid of the consequences of challenging the establishment but challenging it anyways for the right reasons is called leadership.

Or, as a wiser man than myself once said: โConservatism consists of exactly one proposition: There must be in-groups whom the law protects but does not bind, alongside out-groups whom the law binds but does not protect."

Michael Cembalest, the brilliant market strategist at $JPM โฆhighlighting how much of an outlier $SIVB was in two charts:
1. Highest risk, least sticky deposit base
2. Worst capital position
$42 billion of $170+ billion of deposits was yanked in 1 day. Doubt any other bank could see that speed.
