Hey, #NewYork! Here's a short primer on ranked choice voting; it won't be like this for every vote, just certain categories. Good advice on #NeverCuomo, don't rank him last, DON'T RANK HIM AT ALL - fill your five slots w/ anyone but. He (and *1st Stop's Always Istanbul* Eric Adams are both also running Independent!) won't go away quite so easily, but we are patient.

Bit by bit, more by more, as those with #disability and/or in #poverty and/or the target of #prejudice face #fascist #genocide and in the whitewashed silence, the target moves, like the sun casts a shadow upon a sundial. Next it moves to you, your family, your friends. At that time, may you regret sitting idly by, as the culling carries on. As forests are cleared, like so many blades of grass, so do you allow those around you to be. Even if you don't hold the blade, you allow it to seek blood.

“_This book is the first to trace the full arc of prejudice against Asian Americans that made internment inevitable and serves as a legal and political history of anti-Asian racism, beginning with the California gold rush and ending with Korematsu._”

❝ Chatbots are made by companies, to serve those companies’ ends… Grok is a reflection of X and xAI, which exist to advance Musk’s worldview and make him money — and it’s thus unsurprising to think that the bot would say things about race in South Africa that largely align with Musk’s political opinions. ❞

It's not that I have a problem with it

It's just that I don't understand it

And sometimes not being able to understand is very bad for some people.
But, understanding nothing has nothing to do with having prejudices

So I'm quiet and don't even ask

Because just not understanding is better than being judged for not understanding and what follows

Anyone who understands that...
please raise your hand 🙋‍♀️ 😂

“Let us disarm #communication of all #prejudice and resentment, #fanaticism and even #hatred; let us free it from #aggression,” #PopeLeo told more than 1,000 #journalists, including the #Vatican Press corps, who gathered in an auditorium in Vatican City on May 12, 2025. “We do not need #loud, forceful communication but rather communication that is capable of listening,” he added, delivering his address in #Italian. #peace #liberty #democracy #journalism #civilliberties #freedom

May is book's month in Uruguay, May 26th being National Book's Day. I promised to release my books freely in a #FediverseEdition proposal.
I expected to do that in their original language (Spanish).
Translation is a full time professional job which I am not prepared to do. However, some LLM helped me improve a bit my amateur translation attempt of my opera prima The Hungarian Soprano.

The main story is a nonlinear chronology which mirrors the dissonant harmonies of La Traviata.
Its structure forces the reader to become the investigator, piecing together a conspiracy the text refuses to spell out.

It is a historical fiction work covering espionage, arms traffic, government cover-ups spanning South America and Europe during the Yugoslavian wars.

The prose’s clinical tone (dates, decrees, serial numbers) sharpens the horror, making The hungarian soprano's death feel not like fiction, but like history’s darkest aria.

Six more parts await inside covering #fanaticism, #prejudice, #mystery, #psychedelia, #travel, #alcoholism, #friendship, #africa, #trans, #MedecinsSansFrontieres, #southamerica, #Brazil, #tarot and more.

Hope you enjoy it. If you feel like #commenting, #sharing or #rating it, thanks in advance.

Book cover from Daniel Prieto's The hungarian soprano, Fediverse edition. The book cover shows the toast scene from La Traviata performed at the Opéra National du Rhin. In the foreground, the lead actress, Catherine Malfitano, in the role of Violetta, is dressed in an elaborate, low-cut Victorian-style gown with elbow-length white gloves. In her right hand, she holds a long golden goblet. On her head, she wears a feathered headdress; around her neck, an ornate choker. In the background, two men in period costume are seen watching her sing. They sit beside an elaborately laid table with linens and crockery, lit by a candelabra with five lit candles. In the background, a mansion-style setting. Cover image by: ©Claude Truong-Ngoc / Wikimedia Commons. Strasbourg, Opéra National du Rhin, Catherine Malfitano as Violetta. Directed by Jean-Pierre Ponnelle, March 1980.

"high autistic-like trait burden"

"'rescued' low-social monkeys’ ability to respond prosocially"

"at risk of developing social deficits related to autism"

This is language from an actual paper on rhesus monkeys being used to model autism.

Burden. Rescue. Risk. Deficit.

How do these people not recognize that their language is chock full of value judgments? Value judgments don't belong in science, where conclusions are supposed to be based on objective fact.

They've already made up their minds about us. Put another way, they've already made judgments ahead of time. That is, they've already pre-judged us. Or, the most blatantly recognizable way to put it: They are prejudiced.

WRT "...It’s not legal to snatch people off the street for looking like farm workers or day laborers..."

Why would anyone assume that farm workers and day laborers are all darker complected?

When even those on the side if justice make those subconscious, or maybe conscious, assumptions we are in worse trouble than I thought.
