Bolaji Badejo (1953-1992)
Hoje lembramos do jovem nigeriano que interpretou o Xenomorfo no filme Alien - O Oitavo Passageiro. O estudante de artes gráficas com 2,08 metros de altura impressionou o diretor Ridley Scott, o que lhe rendeu seu único trabalho como ator.

UPDATE: El Salvador’s brutal far-right dictator, Trump and Musk friend Nayib Bukele, has confirmed that he will never return any person sent to him from America. And Trump has confirmed he wants American citizens sent to El Salvador to die in a foreign gulag. This is a five-alarm fire for democracy.
Yes, Donald Trump is Planning to Send U.S. Residents En Masse to Death Camps in El Salvador Run By Dictator Nayib Bukele
The White House meeting on Monday between Trump and Bukele isn’t quite a Hitler-Stalin summit, but in the context of this century’s politics and America’s descent into fascism, it approaches it.

AltLofC's thread here has a script to send your reps regarding the elimination of IMLS.
The ONLY reason to get rid of IMLS - which utilizes only .003% of the federal budget - is to erase knowledge & history. The regime is limiting access to this by harming our library systems, which many rely on.

We’re only two months in, & they’re cancelling research into pediatric brain cancer. They’re deporting US kids with brain cancer. They’re putting millions at risk of malaria, TB, & polio.
I for one will never forgive or forget those who said ‘it won’t be that bad’.

And right now he’s locked himself in a room with grandpa’s Social Security check.

Weird how not a single one of the newspapers and magazines that have been breathlessly churning out "cancel culture" thinkpieces for the past four years have managed to use the word "censorship" at all to describe the most rapid and comprehensive campaign of mass-censorship in recent US history.

Back on the old short-form social media site, I had a thread of 28 facts I liked to share during Black History Month, one for every day. The topic is still important to me so I'll start re-writing them here and hope they find a new audience.
It's February! Happy Black History Month!

If you want to control the price of eggs, you need to control bird flu.
And the worst thing you can do if you want to control bird flu is censor scientists and scrub CDC data.
