I understand your concerns about the impact of automation on blue-collar jobs, and it’s essential to address those issues. However, it’s not fair to dismiss the concerns of white-collar workers who are also facing job losses due to automation.

If you think hoteps are progressive you’re gonna have some real confusion times.

The transvestigators are going nuts over this on the Dumb Blue Bird site. Some of them are claiming it’s a hoax because they think she’s a “trans identified male”, others think they adopted and faked a pregnancy to cover that up, and others still think Radcliffe is the one who gave birth (you’re getting into the…

There’s no point with that one. Recoegnitions is a troll impersonating another poster, Recognitions (and is probably the same person who has made dozens of impersonator accounts to discredit another poster, Dr Emilio Lizardo). He’s proven countless times that he’s incapable of engaging with any given subject on a…

Idiots are already labelling it as such. Apparently a chant in support of allowing a representative to speak for her constituents on a subject in which she has direct and lived experience is exactly the same as a violent attempt to discard the results of an election because an 8chan roleplayer convinced them cannibal…

I think in his snarky way he’s getting at the idea that the “Paradox of Tolerance” only exists if you use Popper’s definition of tolerance as an absolute moral precept, rather than a conditional peace treaty. There’s no paradox in refusing to uphold a broken peace treaty. And there are some things that are, by their…

Yesterday I saw a guy, in all earnestness (judging by everything else he’s ever posted), call Elon a “master of the symphony” who is “playing his opponents like a violin.” He used an AI-generated image of Elon playing the violin... with a broken bow.

Cleopatra wasn’t Egyptian in the way the common people were, she was the descendant of Greek colonisers with a little Persian heritage (and the result of no small amount of inbreeding).

The people running this franchise seem to be getting more and more aware that you can’t keep rebooting a racist, misogynist agent of Empire without making him the bad guy. So they’re slowly trying to strip all that away without taking out all the fun bits that people care about... But a lot of people really care about…

Or hiring Miss Piggy to play a mysterious hermit monk.

My brother in the Force, we had Ewok cartoons from Filmation forty years ago. We made a meme out of the Cloud City Ice Cream Man when Empire first came out. We had the damned Holiday Special. The “dumbing down of Star Wars” ship sailed long ago.

I can’t remember the last time a new Frankenstein adaption actually brought something to the table that made it worthwhile. A working class girl motivated by grief and injustice, instead of a privileged shithead motivated by arrogance and ambition? Yeah, I’m hooked. If it gets released in Australia I’ll be going to…

But I was very strongly assured Rowling’s finances were completely separate from all Potterverse media production of the past decade! How could this be?!

Personally, I think it’d have been better to annotate the originals than edit them. Let kids learn the context of the original text while also seeing that certain things are not currently considered acceptable or correct. But that would require viewing the books as art first, product second.

“Shakespeare’s plays don’t relate to real human experiences because they’ve got fairies and witches in.”

Harry Potter and the Prince Who Only Had Half His Blood Because The Rigid Categories Of Man and Woman Are So Biologically Incompatible That Inter-Sex Transfusions Are Lethal.

So not even a single mention of the Governor of Florida openly engaging in an antisemitic conspiracy theory? He literally just claimed the Manhattan District Attorney is a puppet of Qanon’s Emmanuel Goldstein.

Yeah, and why would Joker be a clown? And why would Batman be rich? And why is the sky up there and not down here?
