By ignoring the "master" part in the quote it is reduced to something one can cutesily brush aside: But it's not about appropriating someone's screwdriver. It's about whether you think you can appropriate his torture device.

Audre Lorde's "The master's tools will never dismantle the master's house." is not just a statement about a tool being tainted by its origin. It's about what kind of tool a "master" would create: Whips. Chains. Violent suppression.

That's the meaning: You cannot just take tools whose purpose and politics is dominance and violence and "make them liberatory". This goes deeper than "just" embedded politics or lofty talks about ethics, it comes down to what kind of relations you believe do and should and must not structure the world.

In 2026 America, it's hard to know if a website called "aliens dot gov" would be about Disclosure™ or about rounding up immigrants

It’s a little known rule, but if you rename a corporation after a technology and then abandon that technology within five years, you have to dissolve the entire company out of embarrassment.

It's a very hard pill to swallow, especially given the panoptic, reflexive cruelty of this grudgefuck of a zeitgeist we're all presently stewing in and how easy it is to hit that boost or reply button, but one of the awful facts about high-semiotic-density memetic culture is that you might very easily be amplifying - and legitimizing - ideological positions you _don't even realize exist_ through the wonders of near-zero-friction and pushback-free participation.

Really, in the US, there's no way for cops to be held accountable thru legal means, given the incredibly unjust doctrines surrounding "qualified immunity".

So seeing them in a situation where they are able to be humiliated publicly at a national scale for their unjust and damaging actions is about all the catharsis that we can get these days.

I was urging someone younger today to really appreciate the regional accents of the old folks around them, because after tv and other media spread, accents started to die and our generation will pretty much live to see the end of them. I've already outlived many I remember personally. I miss them - perhaps especially the ones that at the time I considered bumpkin.

There is a legit problem in the industry right now where management sees AI as a way to tighten deadlines and then tight deadlines then encourage the use of AI

It's a race to the bottom and it's not going to end well

This is a power play. By giving away the farm to native apps while keeping the web at bay, they play out enclosure and lock-in strategies.

First, they build non-standard versions of commodity features. Next, get anchor apps to build to those APIs, forcing App Stores distribution. Step 3? Profit.
