Mark Zuckerberg wanted to fly his helicopter from his gigantic superyacht to go skiing on Swedish mountains and offered villagers tens of thousands, but they flat out refused, saying the noisy chopper would disturb their reindeer

"That billionaires would fly private jets to luxury yachts, then board helicopters to chase the last snow-covered peaks in Europe—while attempting to silence Indigenous voices—is being seen as a microcosm of global environmental inequality."

전 갓반인들 제일 힘든 게 그거예요 "무조건 중립" 안티페미 vs 페미: 그 남자 완전 제정신 아니지; 근데 페미도 좀 문제긴 해; 퀴어포비아 vs 퀴어: 그렇게까지 말하는 건 좀 그렇지; 근데 그래도 표현의 자유도 존중해 줘야지 게이가 좋은 건 아니니까 범죄 가해자 vs 피해자: 가해자 완전 미쳤네; 근데 처음부터 그런 남자랑 사귄 여자도 좀 이상한 듯;

RFK Jr’s push to create a registry of all people with autism should be setting off alarm bells.

We’ve been here before.

I talk a lot about the Nazi’s Aktion T4 program, because many people forget that they tested the gas chambers on disabled people. We were targeted first because we were seen as expendable. “Useless eaters”. People no one would miss.

Did you know they also created a registry of children born who might have mental or physical disabilities? Midwives were paid to report them to the government, and lists were made.

Creating a registry of autistics won’t “solve autism”. But it could set the stage for something far more sinister.

We must remain vigilant and fight back.

Disabled people are not expendable. Autistic people are not dangerous. Health supremacy is.

Due to Reasons, I needed to get a pgp public key off a computer that I could neither upload it off of nor did I have access to a USB port.

I thought I’d try taking a photo of the key and OCR’ing it.

An hour later, I would like to inform you that above and beyond the issues you expect, iOS OCR will happily roll dice on whether it feels that any given “o”, “x” or “c” shall be encoded as ASCII or Cyrillic.

음 글쎄 옥션과 KT와 농협과 거시기 뭐시기를 거치면서 다크웹에 개인정보 안 돌아다닐 대한민국 국민이 얼마나 있을까

그리고 K_i 를 긴빠이칠 조직이라면 당연히 그걸 크로스 레퍼런스 해서 대털이 될 준비가 되어 있는 조직이 아닐까

Let's dive a little deeper, in case that third one is giving anyone pause :blobfoxthink:

For this, we will need to talk about flagging and dog whistles. Conceptually, flagging and dog whistles are ways that communities communicate. Flagging typically refers to when a community is giving itself a "IYKYK" hat tip. Dog whistles are the same behavior, but with the impact of harm. This is one way (of many) that harmful actors are able to make targets "look crazy". I just said hi! GEEZ. SOME PEOPLE. And then you look at the hi, and it's an image of someone waving hi. That is a screenshot. Of a still from a scene in a movie. About, say, hurting Black or trans people.

Context matters.

Back to our 12 seconds.

The asker of the question gave their name and publication: Alex Zoltan of True North.

If you haven't already, you should notice a pattern of right wing ideals that come with certain imagery. In the context of climbing or astronomy or similar, one might expect to see references to the North Pole (compass) or Polaris (the North Star) as these are used in navigation.

But this person isn't taking an image of star trails. They're a member of the press. Having True / Truth anything has become a right wing flag, a dog whistle. See Truth Social and its peers.

If you encountered this question in a situation where you could stop and search (obviously not in a live press room), after these 12 seconds you should absolutely be loading up a search engine and checking to verify if True North describes itself as conservative (it does) and do a skim of recent works by Alex Zoltan.

TLDR: you now know the question is about trans women.

Now, hit play and listen to the remaining minute-ish.

For his response, Carney seems to be aware enough that he recognizes Something Is Up but Answers The Question As-Asked Anyway.

And then the predictable: this question is about trans women. Not trans people, trans women, and specifically how they make cis women ("biological women") unsafe by existing. Choosing to load up the question with mentioning spaces where "(cis) women are definitely unsafe from (cis) men due to the latter's physicality" is not an accident: sports, homelessness, and prison.

2/2 (and a PS to follow)

The P.S.

We're only safe when we're all safe.

It's a great intention to see that people make posts about "reading the poem" (They came for N first and I said nothing), but it's only true if we collectively do the work of keeping ourselves and our extended family. In this case, that means our trans sisters and siblings. In a broader sense, that means the Black community, immigrants, the young, the old, the chronically ill. Everyone.

This is only one step, one way, you can start to do that: recognizing when someone is talking about members of the trans community as a set up for harmful actions.

Not all harmful actions are physical weapons. They can also be asked, with a smile and genuine tone, in any situation.

Random question:

Have you ever ⁣t in Black and White?

I once, many years ago. I don't even remember what it was about, but I do recall that I was so perplexed when waking up that I had to tell it immediately.

For the last few months I've had twitter, facebook, instagram, tiktok (not that I'd ever actually visited) completely blocked from my devices - both on local home wifi and mobile over cellular data.

I'm missing a good chunk of the internet and I sort of think that's totally fine.

Rechtsextremistische Straftaten haben an Schulen zugenommen. Keine Handreichung dieser Welt, pressewirksamem Events und auch kein neues Fach werden dieses strukturelle Problem lösen. Rassismus und die vielen anderen Ismen sind individuell, institutionell und kulturell tief verankert. Hinzu kommt, dass das Bildungssystem eine autokratische Logik fördert.

Deutschlandkarte mit Zahlen rechtsextremer Vorfälle an Schulen im Jahr 2024, aufgeschlüsselt nach Bundesländern. Die Zahlen variieren stark – von wenigen Fällen (z. B. 3 in Schleswig-Holstein) bis zu mehreren Hundert (z. B. 452 in Nordrhein-Westfalen). In vielen Ländern sind die Vorfälle im Vergleich zu 2023 deutlich gestiegen, etwa um 351 % in Hessen oder 150 % in Sachsen-Anhalt. Hamburg und Mecklenburg-Vorpommern erfassen keine oder keine vergleichbaren Daten. Eine Anmerkung betont, dass die Zahlen wegen unterschiedlicher Erfassungsmethoden nicht direkt vergleichbar sind.
