The real MLK was a radical. Take a moment today to learn something new about him. You will be glad you did.

A tweet from Andre Henry ([@]andrehenry), marked with "sos" in red, displays the text: "Once again, it's that time of year that we pretend Dr. King never said things like this:" Below, a quote image features a black - and - white photo of a person on the left, and on the right, text reads: "Capitalism does not permit an even flow of economic resources. With this system, a small privileged few are rich beyond conscience, and almost all others are doomed to be poor at some level. That's the way the system works. And since we know that the system will not change the rules, we are going to have to change the system. — Martin Luther King — AZ QUOTES"

"Should we destroy NATO by invading sovereign territory of an allied nation for no real reason aside for a dying con man wanting to put his name on the map?"

Given my physics teacher (35 years ago) said repeatedly that girls couldn't do physics, I feel like this is a slight improvement 🙄

#sigh #HistoryRepeating

freyablekman - I heard last week that the physics teacher of the daughter of one of my colleagues told the daughter that girls who do their nails don’t do physics. Sigh.

So, here are the nails of an internationally leading particle physics professor. My nails.

Don’t believe the gatekeepers! #womeninSTEM

@earthlyeducation

Did you originally post this to threads? The... Meta product?

Ironic that you probably can't see and won't respond to your own post on Mastodon.

@andymoose Yeah, it's the same dumbasses who are masked right now who usually do the school shootings. I wonder if school shootings are down this year because they have different targets?

Is it sad that I'm scared to check? I was born because of a school shooting.

Raw Story:
This red state is sounding a warning we all need to heed

What this proves — undeniably and more evident every day — is that the environmentalists were right. The predictions of the consequences of overloading the atmosphere with human-caused pollutants are now coming home to roost.

This red state is sounding a warning we all need to heed

...a science-deficient president and the kow-towing toadies... Despite his proclamations that climate change is a “hoax,” the reality is staring us in the face here in Montana — and no amount of propaganda is going to bring down the temperature or produce the snowpack necessary to sustain Montanans through the ever hotter and drier summers.

Cryptids are anti-capitalism because in 1894 JD Rockefeller lobbied to make it legal to hunt them.

FOUND IT

tumblr post from magicmooshka on January 7:

recently my friend's comics professor told her that it's acceptable to use gen Al for scriptwriting but not for art, since a machine can't generate meaningful artistic work. meanwhile, my sister's screenwriting professor said that they can use gen Al for concept art and visualization, but that it won't be able to generate a script that's any good. and at my job, it seems like each department says that Al can be useful in every field except the one that they know best.
It's only ever the jobs we're unfamiliar with that we assume can be replaced with automation.
The more attuned we are with certain processes, crafts, and occupations, the more we realize that gen Al will never be able to provide a suitable replacement. The case for its existence relies on our ignorance of the work and skill required to do everything we don't.

Today was the first day all months that we have woken up to frost on our windshields. There hasn't been any meaningful snow yet.

🛠️ 💻 In the spirit of repairability and keeping good equipment alive, I've gathered up a few retired Thinkpads from local surplus auctions. I'm upgrading the RAM and drives and will be making them available in the next few weeks. These will be cozy little Solarpunk machines, older equipment preinstalled with a lightweight linux desktop and all the software you need for browsing, writing, docs, email, managing passwords, and videoconferencing.

I would like to find each one a good home with a nice person who will appreciate and take care of it. If you know of someone in the USA who would be a good fit, please put them in touch. I will be sending these for the cost of shipping (estimating about $40) with a completely optional tip jar to help cover the cost of upgraded parts.

When I have more details together I'll send out a link but for now ping me with any questions. Thanks! 🙏

@OGjester Out of completely non-personal curiosity, what IS the minimum there...?

@OGjester Goddammit Jester. Montana's going to miss you.

Ok, probably just me. Wish you the best!
