I got silenced in the Google I/O chat.

"I watched so you don’t have to. There’s lots in here about AI, but nothing about web development or web UI beyond a sort of side example of translation for a shopping site. Oh, and there was one bit about how some programming languages used for mobile will become usable for web too because it’ll be processed/translated through their new software. That bit was cool because there are a few mobile apps folks will definitely like to be web accessible. The chat gathering was pretty fun until some downlow racist started trying to gaslight me when morning came for the U.S."

I am reading #blackgenesis right now, and wondering how in the bloody hell #robertbauval let himself get wrangled in with the #ancientaliens people. Granted, he's #pseudoarchaeology but he is or was the kind that was interesting and at least headed in the direction of thinking inclusively in historical speculation. Did something happen? Was he always downlow shady and we didn't notice? Or did he just sell out when the #historychannel made him an offer?

The talking drum tradition continues:
