I have to hand it to Andrew Tate, this is the first time I've seen someone be so outwitted by a teenager that they end up in jail without it involving a dog that solves fake ghost mysteries

CW: Native genocide 🧵
Today is the anniversary of the largest mass shooting in American history, Wounded Knee, a massacre on December 29, 1890 that has been relegated to history as a "battle".

29 December 1923 | Hungarian Jewish woman Lily Ebert was born in Bonyhád.
In July 1944 she was deported to Auschwitz. She was then transferred to an ammunition factory near Leipzig where she was liberated.
Today she turns 99.
“I never thought I would survive Auschwitz and have another birthday. At 99, I celebrate to show that the Nazis did not win!”

I don't understand the anti-trans transhumanist techbros out there either.
My dudes, the entire point of transhumanism is radical bodily autonomy.
If you're hung up on what someone's original meatsack was, you're gonna have a bad time in the transhumanist future you're after.

Greetings. There is so much that can be said about Gerry Anderson and his "Supermarionation" productions, using puppets (usually actually marionettes) ultimately to create vast hi-tech adventure sagas, the peak of which was the British TV series "Thunderbirds" (1965-66). I loved these as a child and I still think they're great.
Today I'll just relate one story about Anderson's impact.
One day, Gerry was on a tour of the UK facilities where the Franco-British supersonic Concorde airliner was being designed. Along the way, someone asked what he did for a living. He rather sheepishly replied that he made children's TV shows. "Oh, like what?" he was asked.
So he mentioned that he did "Fireball XL5" and "Thunderbirds" and such.
And in no time at all, he was surrounded by Concorde engineers and techs who wanted to say hi and shake his hand, many of whom said it was his shows that had inspired them to enter the engineering field, because they actually wanted to *build* those planes and rockets that were created for his various series!
Much the same happened here in the U.S., with the original "Star Trek" inspiring generations of engineering talent.
So yeah, TV matters! -L
if i had a nickel for every time i went on eBay and bought what i thought was a bad movie on VHS but turned out to just be a bunch of "Lexx" episodes strung together, i'd have TWO nickels--which isn't a lot but it's weird that it's happened twice

So the IRS commissioner who didn't audit Trump and didn't release his tax returns was also making hundreds of thousands of dollars off Trump branded properties… https://www.citizensforethics.org/reports-investigations/crew-investigations/charles-rettig-trump-properties/

Greg Abbot intentionally chose Christmas Eve to attack migrants seeking shelter. Fascist losers like him get off on the hypocrisy of claiming to be Christian.

"but you won't have sensations and feelings like you would in a human body. things like pain and lust will register as data that you can ignore instead of reacting to organically."
"yeah, if you could liquefy that idea and hook it directly to my veins, that would be super."
GIVE ME DATA instead of raw impulses and neurons misfiring. i will build emulators to keep me on the right side of reason and dump the rest as extraneous.
you have no idea how tired i am of pain. i developed a whole philosophy about accepting pain as a means of viewing the universe in a mystical way for a fictional character of mine, and tried mightily to apply it to my personal situation as a means of dealing, and failed hard after about five minutes. why? because pain HURTS.
give me steel give me steel, give me pulses unreal...

I feel like we are at this point in history as species where we can't advance technologically if we don't eliminate discrimination or inequality or systemic violence beforehand.
why? because then the technology will be abused by those in power enough to create a dystopian society where any rebellion or attempts to equalize the people are minimized

POC don't need white people to uplift them. What we need you to do, white people, is fight off your peers who have their boots on our necks. We can uplift our damned selves once we're not being constantly kicked in the face, thank you very much.

Transformer going to moon
Japan got takara-tomy to make them a little robot.
In case the photo bombing Unicron wasn't enough of a hint, these are the folks who make transformers.
