got this quote at a neo-Nazi event at the University of Florida in 2017, & in the nearly 8 years since it goes viral like this every few months — I suspect because it's a pretty good summation of where the GOP has gone

"Basically, I'm just fed up with the fact that I'm cis-gendered, I'm a white male, and I lean right, towards the Republican side," said Fears, 28, wearing a pin of the 3rd SS Panzer Division Totenkopf of the Waffen-SS. "And I get demonized if I don't accept certain things."

Antithesis: Robin Hood: Prince of Thieves
Synthesis: Robin Hood: Men in Tights

"SCPs that got hoovered up and regurgitated by chatbots end up giving tech executives schizophrenia" is perhaps fittingly a very SCP thing to happen

Social media users were quick to note that ChatGPT's answer to Lewis' queries takes a strikingly similar form to SCP Foundation articles, a Wikipedia-style database of fictional horror stories created by users online.

"Entry ID: #RZ-43.112-KAPPA, Access Level:
| (Sealed Classification Confirmed)," the chatbot nonsensically declares in one of his screenshots, in the typical writing style of SCP fiction. "Involved Actor Designation: 'Mirrorthread, Type: Non-institutional semantic actor (unbound linguistic process; non-physical entity)."

Back in the 90s Cyber Psychosis was supposed to be brought on when your implants and augmentations started to interfere with the regular function of your nervous system.

These days, dweebs are catching it just because a chatbot called them "bestie"! Pathetic.

The less often mentioned women of Lord of the Rings: Goldberry, Lobelia Sackville-Baggins, Rosie Cotton, and Ioreth of the houses of healing in Minas Tirith.

I’m assuming all those corded ware pots Tom took from the barrow downs.

Obviously Lotho painted Lobelia’s toenails

Tolkien gave her a name that literally meant ‘old woman’

I’m rereading Lord of the Rings and have been enjoying making some drawings of various characters (mostly while I’m at work at the library).
Question is, who else should I draw?

During the 2019 Hong Kong protests, various factions that ranged from clergy to suburban moms, lawyers to anarchists, coalesced on the four-part slogan:
不篤灰 (no snitching)
不割席 (no severing ties)
不分化 (no forming of cliques)
不指責 (no scolding)

Seems like new American anti-fascists are (re)learning!

Melissa Gira Grant @melissagiragrant.com · Jul 9

keep thinking about two things from a recent panel on anti-fascism:
- people united to fight fascists didn’t need a shared definition of fascism first (they needed each other)
- not everyone in the group wanted to fight the same way, but they agreed not to denounce one another over those differences

Note that the administration’s claim of a 700% increase in assaults on ICE agents is likely made up mostly of incidents like this: claims that a 71-year-old citizen “pushed” a masked armed agent.
