Only Manton could take such a thoughtful, nuanced approach to such important things as interoperability with *a literal Nazi platform*.

The writing was on the wall back when Manton had to scrub the name of his bigoted app developer from the Micro.blog site. I said it then, and I’ll repeat it now: pay attention to whom and what you’re supporting. A Micro.blog sub puts money in Musk’s pocket. Gross.

"What we need is a Second Reconstruction."

Yes, we do. I'm reading a book on the first one, and it got hella far. A 1860s Radical Republican looks a lot like a modern DSA candidate. But the real cautionary tale is in HOW IT FAILED. Discomfort over racial mixing broke the absolute majority the Radicals had, and allowed compromising with former rebel leaders and plantation owners (southern aristocracy). This broke forward progress. Internal debates in the Republicans saw the Radicals lose to the industrialists, beginning the "party of big business" shift. With no one left to champion civil rights, reigns of terror disenfranchised black voters across the whole south (and some north) allowed non-enforcement of existing civil rights laws and constitutional amendments, and outright reversions. The SCOTUS at the time greatly pared back the scope of the Reconstruction amendments.

Radical surge, then reversion to a slightly advanced mean.

Your art history post for today: by Thomas Stuart Smith (1815–1869), The Pipe of Freedom, 1869, oil on canvas, 42x30.9 inches (106.8x78.7 cm), The Stirling Smith Art Gallery and Museum, Stirling, UK. Look closely. Notice a copy of the Emancipation Proclamation pasted on the wall behind the man. It partially covers an advertisement for a slave auction. Freedom has replaced bondage. #arthistory #painting #oilpainting #emancipation #freedom #liberty

From the museum: ‘The Pipe of Freedom was painted in 1869 by Thomas Stuart Smith – the founder of what is today the Stirling Smith Art Gallery and Museum. A prolific artist and abolitionist, there are three surviving portraits of black men by Stuart Smith in our collection.

At the first glance The Pipe of Freedom shines with the warmth of the colours and the relaxed stance of the man in the foreground. His red paisley shawl wraps him in a contentment reflected in the half smile on his lips as he lights the long-stemmed clay pipe. But even the choice of the subject was unusual – at this time black people were more often painted as servants. A closer look at the background also hints that this picture is more than just a simple portrait - it is a political statement too.

The brick wall behind the man is covered with posters, including a yellow one publicising the sale of slaves. This has been covered by a copy of Abraham Lincoln’s Emancipation Proclamation, which declared in 1863 "that all persons held as slaves" within the rebellious states "are, and henceforward shall be free."

Thomas Stuart Smith submitted The Pipe of Freedom to the Royal Academy Exhibition in London in 1869. It was rejected. Suspecting that politics were involved, Smith went on to exhibit it elsewhere alongside other works deemed unsuitable or too risqué by the Academy.’

I’m really serious about this one btw. Companies have no measurable way of knowing what employees are doing with GenAI. They’re giving Claude Code out like it’s candy and just presuming everybody is an IT power user. They aren’t. They’re converting PDFs and vibe coding garden planning tools.

Copilot M365 has a fake dashboard showing how productive people are.. it has no actual data. It just shows people use it. It’s CIO porn for the CEO. Orgs are pissing money up a wall worldwide.

With this particular case of whatever’s going on with Bandcamp, well, I've been really impressed with some of the work that @mirlo is doing! And I've been really happy with self-hosting my own recordings using an absurdly bespoke SSG.

But I’m not going to go after may favorite musicians who are on Bandcamp and tell them “I refuse to buy your music now!” and “Just use Mirlo!” or “Just build your own static site generator!” — because that is an asshole thing to do.

If you want help artists, or any particular group of people being crapped upon, then a good thing to do is to find some of those real actual people, ask them what would be helpful to them, and then listen. Shut up and listen.

It’s hard. Especially the shutting up part. I struggle with that too. That’s what it takes.
