NZ Inc fire sale, this is going to get VERY nasty. I imagine we’re about to see worse electoral donations/kickbacks corruption than almost any other time in NZ history - certainly more out in the open

Good thread.
There are disabled people in the future.
The only reason you wouldn’t see them is if that society has gone full steam ahead on eugenics and they’re unable to live freely or be accommodated in public.

I have a friend who said, of Starfleet Academy, that this took them out of it - that seeing a person in a wheelchair in the 32nd century seemed unrealistic, since medicine in Star Trek "should be able to cure whatever was wrong with them."
That's not the case, for any number of possible reasons.

Including disabled people in our utopian futures pushes back against a eugenicist ideal.

It's very cute to pretend there's a grand design when you're shooting something without a finished script.
Avengers: Doomsday directors Joe and Anthony Russo have further discussed their claim that the film's four recent trailers were not actually trailers — and now described them as "narrative information." https://bit.ly/3MBv8XY

The culture war shit always seemed like artificial bullshit. The fact we now have it in writing is not surprising but disappointing in how inept these fuckers we’re with info-sec and how long it took for this to come to light

Simple fact is this:
If you’re a member of the “gender critical” movement, you’re part of a pedophile ring whether you want to be or not.

You’re not crazy. The anti-trans movement is not organic; it was funded by pedophilic billionaires like Jeffrey Epstein who backed a network of conservatives to accuse the same people they were sexually abusing of being the real danger. @madycast.com exposes the truth in our in-depth report.

everyone with an IQ above paste could have predicted this would happen: anyway; these Meta glasses are ontologically evil and anyone who wears them is a creeping blood-worm who should be chased from society with stones and sharp sticks
Social media is awash with videos of men filming themselves approaching women in public spaces and attempting to flirt. In many cases, the videos are filmed and uploaded without the women’s consent. https://cnn.it/4qtIsvB

It’s always weird when someone says “This movie wasn’t made for you” when it’s a movie in a genre you love with all your heart.
Besides, movies are for everyone!

I feel like this was revealed a super long time ago, but I guess a lot of people never got the memo or, worse, didn’t think it was a big deal for some reason.

Rarely has anyone ever sat a racist down and forced them to answer these questions in a professional setting and the results are glorious.
Trump nominated a legit white nationalist to a top post at the State Department. I asked him some basic questions about his belief in the “erasure of white culture”. Watch this embarrassing, fumbling answer. Like he has never before been asked to explain his views.
