@TheGenuineHeart As a Dominican, Guadeloupe has contributed A LOT to Bouyon! You guys deserve to claim it as part of your culture🙏🏽😌

Je trouve que c’est un peu particulier comment la Guadeloupe s’est appropriée le bouyon depuis une quinzaine d’années et fait aujourd’hui de ce courant musical la vitrine de la culture guadeloupéenne alors que cette musique ne vient pas de chez nous à la base.

@thegoalpatrol_ Love, you sound like your Prime Minister. Trinidad's carnival is lovely.. it wasn't born there though..

Can't wait for the day we remove ourselves from these people 🥱 All y'all do is steal culture from Trinidad and then act like it's not from Trinidad weird ass

@crysspective @jabari53 I wonder if it's still on the app store 😂

@Defoeryan @jabari53 Thissss! Wimatch was so good in the beginning. But as usual, people start showing they ass (no pun intended 🤣)

Just imagine if we had a social media platform where it was 100% Caribbean like what we’re experiencing this week on here. There would be island wars, of course, but it would do a lot to bring us closer to each other.

@kyleburndley We pronounce it the same way as Trinidad in Dominica but I'm not sure if it's spelt the same. Pomme citerre! (I have no stocks in any patois dictionary)

wait until you find out what we call it😭

@nia_lee7 @WavyTycoon Carnival started in the French Caribbean islands (i.e Dominica etc) it was then brought over to Trinidad from there..

@WavyTycoon lol you just saying this to upset ppl? Or fr

Wait Dominica has the oldest carnival in the region? 🧐👀

@elonmusk destroyed our timelines bruh...

@MsChryssieE He said that it was "big"

I just want to be clear on what it is he said before “Trinidad carnival is too commercialized.” Because I don’t want to believe he said “Trinidad carnival is fake”🫠

@Pedro_Torrijos @de_lagunez @jupixweb Just letting you know, as a third party independent observer, that you won this one. Mr. Torrijos

@de_lagunez @jupixweb El debate es interesante y nos llevaría al Primer Motor aristotélico, pero no equilibra el hecho de que un pájaro no necesita una consciencia externa que le *ordene* que vuele.

La gente que sabe *de verdad* de inteligencia artificial lleva diciendo esto desde bastante antes de que los LLMs fuesen populares. De hecho, la gente que sabe *de verdad* de inteligencia artificial afirma que aún faltan entre 50 y 100 años para que cualquier sistema artificial llegue al nivel de inteligencia de un perro. Otra cosa es que simule que es inteligente o que sus capacidades sean sobresalientes, pero eso no es inteligencia.

@magattew We need to return to stakeholder capitalism, where decisions taken by a business are analyzed based on its overall impact on the society it operates within. Or a government enforced version of it. Shareholder driven, profit-based capitalism cannot continue

@magattew In a profit driven economy. No mind is paid to quality, health and wellbeing. Shrinkflation, enshitification. Profit above all else. That is why this generation is so disenchanted with capitalism. We've witnessed life get progressively worse by all counts.

Socialism promises equality. Then the equality comes: everyone equally poor except the leaders. Free markets promise opportunity. The opportunity comes: some get rich, most improve, and the poor have paths upward. I’ll take unequal prosperity over equal poverty any day.

@javilopen I do it because I am still classified as "new grad", "junior". My skills are not yet at the level where I am valued as an AI engineer

Serious question: Is there any programmer left in the room still coding the traditional way, character by character, without using AI? If so, why? Explain your reasoning.

Something is fundamentally wrong with the world we're living in. And most of us are gaslighting ourselves into thinking this is normal.

@bleubleuge @sensiblehuman96 Correction... You've never been aware** of so much propaganda. It used to be that propaganda was unopposed so you were unaware of the propaganda in your bubble. The only difference today is that you can actually see it for what it is

@sensiblehuman96 I have never seen so much propaganda before, from both sides. Fuck this post-modern, post-truth world. We have access to more knowledge and real-time data than any of our ancestors did, but it’s all shit, untrustworthy and flooded with intelligence agency bots.

How’s the war actually going btw? This website is basically unusable and the legacy media is even less informative.

Tax the rich is a distraction. This is the kind of tax reform that we need.

@RaisingRealMen_ @jack @blocks Love love love this!!!!! I had the same idea but you've conceptualized it perfectly!!! "Tax the rich" is a severely dumbed down distraction! This. This is the fair tax reform that we NEED

Here’s a policy idea nobody is talking about that could actually work: Tie corporate tax rates directly to W-2 headcount relative to gross revenue — benchmarked by industry. Every business already files a tax return declaring its industry code and revenue. The IRS already has W-2 data. The infrastructure exists today. The formula is simple in concept: — Fall below your industry’s human labor benchmark and your tax rate rises — Fall catastrophically below it and you hit a punitive rate that makes extreme automation economically painful — Stay above the benchmark and you pay standard rates W-2 employees only. Not contractors. Not gig workers. Not outsourced staffing agencies. This forces businesses to maintain genuine skin in the social contract — payroll taxes, benefits, real employment — not paper headcount through third parties. The beauty of this approach: ✦ No new regulatory agency needed ✦ Uses existing IRS infrastructure ✦ Clean audit trail — W-2 fraud is straightforward tax evasion ✦ Generates federal revenue that funds displaced worker retraining ✦ Doesn’t ban automation — it makes automation pay for its own consequences This is essentially a Pigouvian tax on automation externalities. The same logic as carbon taxes. Companies currently capture all the efficiency gains from replacing workers while society absorbs all the costs — unemployment, retraining, community collapse, and national security vulnerabilities from over-automated critical infrastructure. Your tax rate should reflect how much of the social contract you’re actually honoring. A company generating $10B in revenue with 200 employees is free-riding on roads, courts, national defense, and an educated workforce — all funded by the taxpayers whose jobs they eliminated. It’s time that free ride had a price.

we're making @blocks smaller today. here's my note to the company. #### today we're making one of the hardest decisions in the history of our company: we're reducing our organization by nearly half, from over 10,000 people to just under 6,000. that means over 4,000 of you are being asked to leave or entering into consultation. i'll be straight about what's happening, why, and what it means for everyone. first off, if you're one of the people affected, you'll receive your salary for 20 weeks + 1 week per year of tenure, equity vested through the end of may, 6 months of health care, your corporate devices, and $5,000 to put toward whatever you need to help you in this transition (if you’re outside the U.S. you’ll receive similar support but exact details are going to vary based on local requirements). i want you to know that before anything else. everyone will be notified today, whether you're being asked to leave, entering consultation, or asked to stay. we're not making this decision because we're in trouble. our business is strong. gross profit continues to grow, we continue to serve more and more customers, and profitability is improving. but something has changed. we're already seeing that the intelligence tools we’re creating and using, paired with smaller and flatter teams, are enabling a new way of working which fundamentally changes what it means to build and run a company. and that's accelerating rapidly. i had two options: cut gradually over months or years as this shift plays out, or be honest about where we are and act on it now. i chose the latter. repeated rounds of cuts are destructive to morale, to focus, and to the trust that customers and shareholders place in our ability to lead. i'd rather take a hard, clear action now and build from a position we believe in than manage a slow reduction of people toward the same outcome. a smaller company also gives us the space to grow our business the right way, on our own terms, instead of constantly reacting to market pressures. a decision at this scale carries risk. but so does standing still. we've done a full review to determine the roles and people we require to reliably grow the business from here, and we've pressure-tested those decisions from multiple angles. i accept that we may have gotten some of them wrong, and we've built in flexibility to account for that, and do the right thing for our customers. we're not going to just disappear people from slack and email and pretend they were never here. communication channels will stay open through thursday evening (pacific) so everyone can say goodbye properly, and share whatever you wish. i'll also be hosting a live video session to thank everyone at 3:35pm pacific. i know doing it this way might feel awkward. i'd rather it feel awkward and human than efficient and cold. to those of you leaving…i’m grateful for you, and i’m sorry to put you through this. you built what this company is today. that's a fact that i'll honor forever. this decision is not a reflection of what you contributed. you will be a great contributor to any organization going forward. to those staying…i made this decision, and i'll own it. what i'm asking of you is to build with me. we're going to build this company with intelligence at the core of everything we do. how we work, how we create, how we serve our customers. our customers will feel this shift too, and we're going to help them navigate it: towards a future where they can build their own features directly, composed of our capabilities and served through our interfaces. that's what i'm focused on now. expect a note from me tomorrow. jack
