Demonstrators in New York have disrupted the Macy's Thanksgiving Day Parade, calling for a free Palestine! 🇵🇸
Calling to mind the genocide that white settlers carried out on Native Americans, they held a banner reading "Genocide Then, Genocide Now."
i've been seeing this around a lot lately as like a little memey jokey thing but "this is what they took from you" is a fascist meme.
"they" are jewish people/"the global elite"/"cultural marxists"/"globalists"/"the woke left" etc.
and it's basically the same as "RETVRN" like this is explicitly a fascist thing that fascists say about their fascist beliefs
please don't go around saying it
you can talk about capitalist enshittification without invoking fascism, and just because YOU mean something different doesn't mean it's not invoking those things it's explicitly meant to invoke
"reject modernity, embrace tradition" is another fascist slogan I'm seeing people use like it's a cute meme. please stop with this shit.
"Which Way Western Man" is the title of an actual white supremacist manifesto. It's not just about white men being too feminine, it explicitly invokes violent antisemitic conspiracy theories and also blames Black people for the "degradation" of white people.
PLEASE do not invoke this white supremacist screed for a funnie joak. White supremacists still read and praise this book and it's still being sold with ad copy praising the author's "genius".

Reblogging partly for awesome computer shortcuts, and partly because I wish to once again take part in a Post That Broke The Notes.

this is the anti-defamation league’s hate symbol database. it’s massive and includes details about what symbols mean and where you might see them.
i’m a tattoo artist and use this all the time when i see a symbol i don’t recognize—better safe than sorry. it’s saved me from working with white supremacists a few times.
I'm glad to see the arrow cross (last one( there! It originates from Hungary and was used by the nazi party here, but it was banned after WWII. It barely shows up in guides/warnings like this and idk if they still use it but better safe than sorry.
need the top minds in moral philosophy here on tunglr.website to weigh in on this one (x , x)
the worse climate disaster gets, the more you’ll see closet eugenicists start to advocate for letting people die. you need to be prepared to combat the ideology wherever you see it, because it’s only going to get worse and worse Read everything having to do with climate disaster critically. If the central argument underlying what’s being said is that the death of disabled and/or racialized people is inevitable, natural, or desirable– that’s a fascist.
they might be appear to be a garden variety republican or liberal or even a leftist at first, but know that if that argument is being made, their underlying ideology is one of supremacism, and given additional climate stress, they will become more blatant about it.
I wrote this post before the global pandemic, and it’s depressing how correct I was.
If the central argument underlying what’s being said is that the death of disabled and/or racialized people is inevitable, natural, or desirable – that’s a fascist.
It’s not even an underlying argument, it’s so openly expressed as part of mainstream opinion. the eugenicist ideology has accelerated so rapidly in the last four years, even in leftist spaces. It’s extremely disturbing.
A lovely article, but it gives me much too much credit. A Companion to Owls was written by my brilliant GO2 co-writer John Finnemore.
Good Omens is a forked tongue stuck out at conformity and obedience to religion. While the book focuses primarily on Aziraphale and Crowley’
being a woman is fucking exhausting. everything is created to disgrace our lives. this is horrifying.
https://www.washingtonpost.com/technology/2020/10/20/deep-fake-nudes/
The AI-generated nudes, which look horrifyingly realistic, are sweeping the web.
The website promises to make “men’s dreams come true.” Users upload a photo of a fully clothed woman of their choice, and in seconds, the site undresses them for free. With that one feature, it has exploded into one of the most popular “deepfake” tools ever created.
Far more advanced than the now-defunct “DeepNude” app that went viral in 2019, this new site has amassed more than 38 million hits since the start of this year, and has become an open secret in misogynist corners of the web. (HuffPost is not naming the site in order to avoid directing further traffic to it.) It went offline briefly Monday after HuffPost reached out to its original web host provider, IP Volume Inc., which quickly terminated its hosting services. But the site was back up less than a day later with a new host — as is often the case with abusive websites.
"Hany Farid, a computer scientist at UC-Berkeley who specializes in digital-image forensics and was not involved in the original pix2pix research, said the fake-nude system also highlights how the male homogeneity of AI research has often left women to deal with its darker side.
AI researchers, he said, have long embraced a naive techno-utopian worldview that is hard to justify anymore, by openly publishing unregulated tools without considering how they could be misused in the real world.
“It’s just another way people have found to weaponize technology against women. Once this stuff gets online, that’s it. Every potential boyfriend or girlfriend, your employer, your family, may end up seeing it,” Farid said. “It’s awful, and women are getting the brunt of it.
“Would a lab not dominated by men have been so cavalier and so careless about the risks?” he added. “Would [AI researchers] be so cavalier if that bad [stuff] was happening to them, as opposed to some woman down the street?”"
FLAPPER FANNY SAYS, by Anericn cartoonist, Ethel Hays (1892-1989).
I do not understand why Flapper Fanny has turned into a Lovecraftian Elder God in the Sugar Daddy cartoon.
My cartoon for this week’s Guardian Books.
To expand on the crumbling of the patriarchal edifice of the family.
If society agrees that children can know themselves, and have a right to self determination…. Everything else that Conservatives argue they have a right to exert over children crumbles. As just two examples….
ALL corporal punishment rightfully becomes recognised for the assault it is.
Failure to appropriately consider the wishes of children in medical care and provide information in an age appropriate way is recognised as child abuse and malpractice.
Children are entire people, they deserve all of the rights, privileges and protections afforded to adults.
Our trailer for Good Omens Season 2 has just been released. It is moderately entertaining and may help pass a couple of otherwise uneventful minutes.
I'm completely normal about this movie...
Anyway won't it be cool if all media was treated with this much love and care
THE NOIR-HOBIE INTERACTIONS THAT I MADE UP IN MY MIND ARE VERY REAL TO ME. SONY PLEASE PICK UP WHAT I’M PUTTING DOWN!!!
me before amputation: wow robot limbs are so fucking cool i wish i could be a cyborg that would be fucking epic, i hope one day we can all voluntarily augment ourselves!
me first year post amputation: well it fucking sucks that had to happen but silver lining is they're covering me for a myoelectric hand so i get to be a cyborg?
me now: 97% of my life is fine just using my nub and elbow for things, and the other 3% isn't worth the fucking hassle of donning the prosthesis for, I'd rather just push this button with my nose tbh

“I had spent my whole life watching two-handed people do fancy things like close a door with one hand and lock it with the other. Finally, I could do that too (though I was unable to pull off that mesmerizing dance of knife and fork that my steak-cutting friends are able to do). I was also able to hold a plate with one hand and snack and gesticulate with the other at a New Year’s Party once.
You know the only other time I could do these things? When I am not wearing any prosthesis at all.
Prosthetic arm technology is still so limited that I become more disabled when I wear one. There are very few, special tasks I can do better with it (case in point: using a potato ricer). But mostly what it does is helps me mimic two-handed people. I realized that my excitement about my new hand was mostly about being able to be something other than disabled — a cyborg.”
I’d also recommend this article by the same author: ‘My Body Is Used to Design Military Tech’ - Britt H Young
It’s what introduced me to her work.
