Great thread about the bullshitl of this book 🧵

I can't quite believe (a) how quickly so many people started outsourcing their decision-making and critical thinking to machines owned by psychopathic oligarchs, and (b) how quickly that made everyone really, really dumb.

The First WORLD FENCING LEAGUE is happening April 25th!!! I'M GEEKING!!!

Japanese engineers developed this "Sword Tip Visualisation" tracking technology specifically for this event that will make it so much easier for the average person to see what's going on!

I MUST WATCH THIS ENTIRE TOURNAMENT

It bears repeating that historically, the #1 thing that keeps people alive in hard times and disasters is “the ability to play well with others”

It will be extremely interesting to see what institutions like Fenway Health and NYU Langone do now. The ostensible reason for their ending of youth gender care is now gone - will they resume care for all the trans kids they abandoned?

#BirdOfTheDay is Mr. Brewer's Blackbird with a Salmonfly (Pteronarcys californica) (AKA Giant Stonefy) NOM!

I can't find a pic right now, but sometimes the Brewer's will roll the salmonfly in birdseed for extra cronch!

You're failing the sexual selection gauntlet as nature intended and I think that's beautiful ~ ♥

Dudes who actually buy into manosphere bullshit love to go on about biological/gender essentialism and The Natural Order, but when you tell 'em "So where's the problem, most males in the animal kingdom never get a chance to procreate, I guess your genes must be inferior" suddenly there's an issue :V

in general, & across the world, the political gender divide really opens up around 2016

wonder if something happened then?

This is really vital, especially now, on a personal and community level.

We're told so much oppression is inevitable, that the only options we have are slight variations of servility, that this dying empire is just "the way it is."

No.

Defiant refusal is a lot more powerful than we've been told.

Again: for any big liberal donor who wants to funnel millions into fixing this country's politics, the ROI on buying any struggling paper and simply tasking it with doing real reporting on local news is vastly higher than the same $$ given to some group that does mass ad buys every election year.

went to check out the techno rave outside Parliament and I don't think I have the data allowance to share a video from it but let me tell you: there sure is a techno rave outside Parliament right now, celebrating Orban getting ousted

It's not just Iran whose surrender is being demanded. It's yours. Your hope. Your belief in yourself and our collective potential. Your empathy. They want to crush those things. They want you to believe their will is inevitable.

They want you to surrender.
