doing Bill Maher’s show lmao

it just occurred that this is historical/racial appropriation. specifically by co-opting the slave aristocracy the city is known for as your own, you tried to use that abhorrent legacy to win an Internet argument.

super fucking gross and you shouldn't do that

bay area lore

he's "employed" by Google in a role that isn't a real job, similar to Dre or Reznor at 

anyway one time he went to his assigned office, empty but with desk, and found someone using it for a meeting. allegedly they thought a room named 'Vint Cerf' was actually conference room lmao

Yeah I have no idea how you came away with that from what I said lmao

North Charleson, Park Circle myself

I too live steeped in the echos of history

the Wachowski's chose to leave it up to the viewer to interpret the meaning behind the series, and chose to not speak out much as they worried their words would be interpreted what they said as dogma

read it how you want, just saying the character design wasn't intended slaveholder by any stretch

for depictions of actual slaveholders, refer to contemporary sources rather than your preconceived ideas

the man wears a suit + vest + bowtie every day, so his resemblance to your idea of a "slaveholder" is superficial at best.

as for the matrix character bring representative of captial and vice and slavery, I think you're looking for meaning where there is mostly a decent sci-fi story lmao

noooooo this is wrong – the actor + attire was specifically chosen to resemble Vint Cerf, co-inventor of TCP/IP - en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Vint_Cerf

I dont follow bsky drama - anybody have context?

Replying to this comment on the blog, specifically the YouTube user: "I'm surprised Klein can't see the fallacy he's committing here."

This can be answered very clearly by Upton Sinclair, “It is difficult to get a man to understand something, when his salary depends on his not understanding it.”

luckily the pilot survived, but the cherry on top re: call w/ Lockheed :


“no transcript is available because the call was made on a personal phone rather than the legal voice recorder in the air traffic control tower” [4/4]

causing the aircraft software to transition from flight mode to "on ground" mode while the aircraft was still airborne

resulting in the aircraft becoming "uncontrollable" and crashing, "a total loss valued at $196,500,000." [3/4]

pilot spends 50 minutes on a call w/ five Lockheed Martin SMEs, including "a senior software engineer, flight safety engineer, and three landing gear system engineers." then attempts two touch-and-go's



after second attempt, "Weight on Wheel" sensors indicated the aircraft was on the ground [2/4]

that’s what the milsurp MRAP and thermal goggles are for??

is this what the kids mean by fafo

no pun intended

the ball started rolling yesterday when trump was posting pics of tents and unhoused people from his motorcade while on the way to golf
