Workers Seize the Shipyard That Built the Titanic, Plan to Make Renewable Energy There

The closure of the last shipyard in Belfast would end centuries of ship building in the city. A group of workers are demanding the U.K. nationalize the yards.

Late last month, 130 ship builders, steel workers, welders, and riveters seized control of the storied Belfast shipyard that built the Titanic in 1909. More than two weeks later, they’re still there, and say they won’t be leaving until the docks are nationalized and are used to produce renewable energy infrastructure.

genuinely inspiring stuff. much like the lucas plan, where workers at lucas aerospace proposed socially useful applications of their machinery, the solution to climate change is putting the levers of society directly into the hands of the workers

fun facts

amazon has bought cloud photo apps, shut them down, and then used the photos on them as training data sets for facial recognition

amazon also has Ring, the cloud-connected doorbell security camera, and has partnered with local police departments to sell more Ring doorbells and give Ring footage to police without warrants or homeowner consent

and considering the fact that Ring’s terms of service basically say amazon can do whatever the fuck they want with any of your Ring data, they’re almost definitely using it for making their facial recognition software better

they’re also selling the facial recognition software for super cheap and make it super easy to use on AWS so like. lol. welcome to mass surveillance hell. walking up to someone’s door might put you in an amazon database. isn’t that great?

Hey so I know there is so much bad stuff going on rn with the Amazon and people trying to use the Spiderman stuff to take attention away from it, but over the past week The Florida Aquarium in Tampa has been able to successfully help coral reproduce in a lab. Which is amazing news because this ciuld literally help our oceans with the rising temperatures and bleaching of the corals. This could help bring back native corals and help our oceans thrive again.

You can give *directly* to Indigenous forest protectors in Brazil by supporting @ApibOficial (Brazilian Articulation of Indigenous Peoples). Indigenous groups are the only reason there is any rainforest left in Brazil at all at this point.

And please, TV and movie writers need to learn this too. Having a character constantly pester someone until they say yes is not cute or okay ever. You need to stop rewarding characters like this with storylines that eventually has the girl/woman end up with them. Women are not rewards to be won. And yes, neither are men, but you get the point. No should mean no and we should take every opportunity to teach kids that.

Here's the thing about shows like South Park and Family Guy that make their money off of being edgy and offensive. They fundamentally reduce their viewers' capacity for empathy. If I found a joke funny, and you found it offensive, you're just too sensitive. This is directly related to the ride of the alt right and the election of trump. In this essay I will

[oceanfoxo]

OP WHERE'S THE FUCKING ESSAY

[biglawbear]

So instead of writing the essay this is exactly what I'm talking about. This shit reduces your capacity for empathy. If you can't understand why people are hurt by a simple joke, nay, think that's the whole point... How the hell are you supposed to feel for someone when they come to you complaining of ACTUAL oppression? It's the foot in the door phenomenon. A little oppression isn't too bad, cuz it's funny, right? It hardens your heart against others

Somebody actually wrote this essay already. It's a Twitter thread about how the alt right recruits teenage boys by getting them to post slightly offensive memes... And then when they get called out and don't understand why the alt right channels their anger at feminists and women and people of color and liberals. According to this thread, boys are being "set up"

Read the whole thread at the link above this is just a snip

"offensive" shows like Family Guy are a precursor to the alt right and you can't change my mind

You're right. It should also definitely be investigated for business practices.
