Same as it ever was. But that doesn’t mean there’s not a trajectory.

“A man is sometimes lost in the dust of his own raising”.
“Prejudice is not so much dependent upon natural
antipathy as upon education”.

Marsha P. Johnson
(1945-1992, 46 years old)
The “P” stood for “Pay It No Mind,” a phrase that became her motto. Johnson described herself as a gay person, a transvestite, and a drag queen and used she/her pronouns; the term “transgender” only became commonly used after her death.

Seeing posts like this reminds me why the #left is losing and will continue to lose.
We miss the beat. I’m from the left and it’s depressing how bad we are at:
A) showing charity
B) uniting
C) bringing people into the fold
A pissing contest and clumsy purity contest.

This is a Marmokreb. It’s parthenogenetic — it can clone itself. No partner required for fertilisation. Discovered in the pet trade in Germany in 1995, it upended a lot of the assumptions of geneticists and the nature v nurture debate. Feared, studied and prohibited.
Kinda cool.

What’s the future #AI shills are trying to build?
Do they just hate humans? And, if so, why is that? Lack of understanding of what a human is and does? Greed? Superiority complex?

Apparently the #aukus submarine squad is depressed, despite getting to $1.2 million of training at Harvard and MIT. Government’s response is to “kick tyres” (on a submarine?) and let slip strange puns.
The public service is hilarious.
