Yeah this guy was the real fuckin deal

Dr. Christie acquired his fierce antipathy to apartheid at a young age, growing up in an impoverished family in Johannesburg.

Many of his family members fought with the Allied forces against the Germans in World War II, and “I learned from them very early that what one does with Nazis is kill them,” he said at a 2023 conference on antinuclear activism in Johannesburg. “I am not a pacifist.”

After attending the University of the Witwatersrand, he received a scholarship to Oxford, which enabled him to further his quest. For his doctoral dissertation, he chose to study South Africa’s history of electrification, “so I could get into the electricity supply commission’s library and archives, and work out how much electricity they were using to enrich uranium,” he told the BBC.

From there, it was possible to calculate how many nuclear bombs could be produced. Six such bombs had reportedly been made by the end of apartheid in the early 1990s; the United States had initially aided the regime’s nuclear program. Thanks to the system of forced labor, South Africa “made the cheapest electricity in the world,” Dr. Christie said, which aided the process of uranium enrichment and made the country’s nuclear program a magnet for Western support. (South Africa also benefited from its status as a Cold War ally against the Soviet Union.)

Dr. Christie turned his findings over to the A.N.C. Instead of opting for the safety of England — there was the possibility of a lecturer position at Oxford — he returned home and was arrested by South Africa’s Security Police. He had been betrayed by Craig Williamson, a fellow student at Witwatersrand, who had become a spy for the security services and was later granted amnesty by South Africa’s Truth and Reconciliation Commission.

After 48 hours of torture, Dr. Christie wrote a forced confession — “the best thing I ever wrote,” he later told the BBC, noting that he had made sure the confession included “all my recommendations to the African National Congress” about the best way to sabotage Koeberg and other facilities.

“And, gloriously, the judge read it out in court,” Dr. Christie added. “So my recommendations went from the judge’s mouth” straight to the A.N.C.

Two years later, in December 1982, Koeberg was bombed by white A.N.C. operatives who had gotten jobs at the facility. They followed Dr. Christie’s instructions to the letter.

“Of all the achievements of the armed struggle, the bombing of Koeberg is there,” Dr. Christie said at the 2023 conference, emphasizing its importance. “Frankly, when I got to hearing of it, it made being in prison much, much easier to tolerate.”

Reading the Communist Manifesto the way Marx and Engels intended

On the screen of a Nintendo 3DS: Manifesto of the Communist Party

Preamble

A spectre is haunting Europe -the spectre of communism. All the powers of old Europe have entered into a holy alliance to exorcise this spectre: Pope and Tsar, Metternich and Guizot, French Radicals and German police-spies.

Where is the party in opposition that has not been decried as communistic by its opponents in power? Where is the opposition

that has not hurled back the branding reproach of communism, against the more advanced opposition parties, as well as against its reactionary adversaries?

Two things result from this fact:

I. Communism is already acknowledged by all European powers to be itself a power.

II. It is high time that Communists should openly, in the face of the whole world, publish their views, their aims, their tendencies, and

Regulus

@sirknightbot.bsky.social

Hi #PortfolioDay, I'm Regulus and I draw things from the 90s. And elves, lately.

A pixel art illustration of a fictional PC-98 version of Xenoblade Chronicles X. It features a Skell configuration screen with Elma assigned as the pilot. The Skell being configured is a red Verus/Wels model.

An illustration of Morrigan Aensland, originally drawn in October 2025. This is cropped closer than the original post, for a better view of some of the details. The pose is based on an unfinished Hiderou Horibe sketch.

An illustration of Marcille Donato from Delicious in Dungeon, based on one of the ending credit slides from the Record of Lodoss War OVA. Marcille is sitting and looking off to the side and has her tome clutched to her chest. The silhouette background displays various features and creatures of the dungeon.

An illustration of Tiffany Lords from the Rival Schools series for Udon's 2025 Street Fighter & Friends Swimsuit Special. She is wearing an elaborate bikini and running playfully away from a large wave. The wave is starting to overtake Ran Hibiki, who is attempting to take pictures. Roy Bromwell is surfing the same wave in the distance.

The reason why RAM has become four times more expensive is that a huge amount of RAM that has not yet been produced was purchased with non-existent money to be installed in GPUs that also have not yet been produced, in order to place them in data centers that have not yet been built, powered by infrastructure that may never appear, to satisfy demand that does not actually exist and to obtain profit that is mathematically impossible

I have seen people with good politics end up with bad politics because they cared more about the way the thing they signed up for identified them as people than they cared about having a specific set of beliefs driving them. The beliefs changed, the aesthetics did not.

I’ve had porn deepfakes made of me since long before genAI existed, and am (sadly) very unphased by it at this point, but I do strongly agree with this sentiment.

These men don’t do it to jerk off to - they do it as a means of ‘digital rape’. If anything, they jerk off to knowing you don’t consent.

He was of course a MAGA guy. The posts on his account that weren’t replies with AI porn of other women were barely literate Trump support.

The underlying point of the fake genAI nudes in his posts was not so that he could jerk off. One can do that quietly. His point was: “we can do this any time.”
