Attended a philosophy talk today in which a senior scholar talked about how our society is moving from words to images because we’re all using memejos now Did he mean memes or emojis Or both

To Pimp a Butterfly is now the highest rated album of all time on Rate Your Music It's overtaken Radiohead's Ok Computer So according to the internet To Pimp a Butterfly is the greatest album of all time

have you ever seen an experimental musician admit their experiment was a failure? of course not. Their methods are epistemologically unsound

what words will say enough when there are no more to be said? we've forever aspired to continue to asymptotically approach infinity but find ourselves surprised as we find ourselves closer than we are comfortable with?

This is extremely worrying, attempting to wipe away a people’s history is a part of Genocide.

“YOU ARE PERSONALLY REPSONSIBLE FOR BECOMING MORE ETHICAL THAN THE SOCIETY YOU GREW UP IN.” - Eliezer Yudkowski. (Read it again.)

A common question, now renewed after Regis Korchinski-Paquet's death: why don't police have body cameras? @wendygillis on where things stand on the debate & why body cams might not be answer thestar.com/news/gta/2020/…

"Black Americans watch time and time again how the contract that they have signed with society is not being honored by the society that has forced them to sign it with them."

As my father explained during his lifetime, a riot is the language of the unheard.

Boy you’d think a country that can equip every cop like a soldier could equip every doctor like a doctor

This map is so telling. This is the culmination of years of oppression- and it is clear that people want change: that the status quo has not been good enough. Too many lives have been lost. I say again- it is time for change. #BlackLivesMatter #RIPGeorgeFloyd

I’m TIRED of this “change their hearts” idea. We don’t need to change their hearts, we need to change their ability to oppress. We need to change their power. We need to change the lack of legal protection for black lives.
