>I expect a complete apology, a clearing of my name and censure against my attacker and abuser. Those involved shamed themselves with their actions. You have an opportunity to make amends and undo that injustice you’ve inflicted. > >I run a large ML forum with weekly views of tens of thousands and I recognise exactly the temptations you’ve allowed yourselves to succumb to of abusing your power for a false sense of righteousness based on petty bullying and unfair treatment. I know that I’m not the only one who’s been a victim of this on lemmygrad. > >The contributors to this forum deserve better moderation and better judgement from the admins in general. The current process of banning people without right of reply is abusive and dishonourable. That can be a separate discussion.

The Cautionary Tale of Angela Davis

>There are very few true revolutionaries. Allowing ourselves to pretend that Angela Davis is among them is a grave mistake. > >“When we engage in electoral politics, it can’t be just because a particular individual is running for office, it is to enlarge the terrain of mass struggle, to guarantee a space for the trade union movement to win victories, for the women’s movement to win victories, for people of color to win victories, for working and poor people to win victories.” > >Angela Davis is certainly correct in speaking these words. They are an important reminder of how we must view and relate to the electoral process. But unfortunately, she followed those remarks with highly questionable assertions which put at risk all that she says she seeks to achieve. > >Davis has a habit of engaging in some very grave contradictions, which we have analyzed over the years here at Black Agenda Report. In 2012 Angela Davis felt compelled to give fulsome praise to Barack Obama, including claiming that his rise to the presidency showed a connection with the Black radical tradition. The false statement was quite alarming, as Davis ignored the obvious, that the Obama campaign was a creation of the neo-liberal and imperialist elites who needed a more attractive face in a moment of crisis. Our late comrade Glen Ford observed that, “The ‘delusional effect’ that swept Black America with the advent of the First Black President has warped and weakened the mental powers of some of our most revered icons – and it has been painful to behold.” > >It is inexplicable that Davis would claim that Obama emerged victorious in 2008 “despite the power of money.” Obama raised $750 million in his presidential campaign that year. His war chest was so full that he was able to reverse his pledge to seek public campaign financing, unlike his opponent John McCain, who raised a mere $238 million from donors and $38 million in public financing. Surely Dr. Davis was capable of researching the same easily accessible information. Yet she insisted on making claims that are plainly untrue. > >Davis’ recent comments diminish her and show that she has become just another acolyte of Democratic Party policy. “It’s not just about electing Kamala Harris. … it’s about opening space for those of us who are more radical than Kamala Harris to put anti-capitalist and anti-racist programs forward and increase the pressure for change, especially in the first place when it comes to the genocide being inflicted on the people of Palestine.“ > >Her comments border on outright delusion. Kamala Harris brags about the republicans who support her and “welcomes” an endorsement from Dick Cheney. She pledges to include a republican in her cabinet while saying nothing about including more progressive democrats. How would anti-capitalist and anti-racist programs be put forward under such an administration? > >This columnist advised ignoring Davis altogether when she declared support for Hillary Clinton in 2016: “I’m not so narcissistic to say that I wouldn’t vote for her.” The defensive and embarrassed tone of the comment was obvious, as if Davis couldn’t bring herself to be clear about her choice to vote for the war criminal who destroyed Libya and insisted that Haiti redo an election in order to get her desired result. > >Again, in 2024, Davis talks out of both sides of her mouth, stating that she is still a communist and declaring, “We have to challenge capitalism; it is the enemy of all progressive movements and struggles in the world.” Indeed we must, but that certainly can’t happen while simultaneously supporting Kamala Harris, who pledges no opposition to capitalism and who is therefore, by Davis’ definition, unworthy of support. > >As Black Agenda Report has pointed out many times, Kamala Harris is the latest mediocrity to grace the political sphere, put forward by rich donors hoping for a new Obama effect. She is neither intelligent nor talented in any way. Her milquetoast liberalism has given way to right wing policy making, giving slight nods to reproductive rights or other issues that are bright red lines for millions of people. > >But Davis also showed herself in 2020 when she was strangely thrilled by the choice of Harris as Joe Biden’s running mate. She supported Biden and Harris despite calling them both “problematic” while concluding, “It’s really a question of who we will be able to pressure.” > >There is no evidence of Angela Davis doing anything to pressure Biden or Harris on any issue. The failure of political imagination afflicts the casual voter and the erstwhile radical icon too, who pop up in election years to declare their surrender to the forces they otherwise claim to oppose. > >No one is above reproach, regardless of their history. Those who remember the days of the “Free Angela” movement may be stunned by her ongoing slide into political irrelevancy. Yet that is the position that Angela Davis has chosen for herself. Now she offers empty nostalgia, political confusion, and cautionary tales about heroes with feet of clay. It seems that ignoring Angela Davis is still a sensible decision.

csv File of 2024 Summer Olympics Athletes with WR/OR/Medals won

For the 3 people who still care about the 2024 Summer Olympics, I've created a csv file that has the participating countries alongside the number of athletes fielded by each country, their world records, their Olympic records, and the amount of three medals won. I was going to originally create a table, but I don't think there's a way to add a table with sorting and filtering capabilities in a post. First line is the header. ::: spoiler csv file: >Country,Athletes,World Record,Olympic Record,Gold,Silver,Bronze >Afghanistan,6,0,0,0,0,0 >Albania,8,0,0,0,0,2 >Algeria,45,0,0,2,0,1 >American
