I can’t believe *any* country would consider adopting Starlink at this point, especially a democracy, when the CEO has shown an eagerness to interfere with Starlink’s service if it becomes politically interested in a global conflict, or if it thinks there could be lulz and dank memes.https://www.reuters.com/technology/japans-military-considers-adopting-musks-starlink-satellite-service-media-2023-06-25/

It’s almooost like some of them (DHS/FBI) were in on it, Gary… 🤔Or like suuuuper dumb. Do top federal agencies hire just anybody these days? No high school diploma necessary, no testing…?Maybe everyone should be fired— if they’re truly this stupid.

I’m super fucking annoyed— in case that’s not coming across— that even Democrats won’t give it to us straight— and why won’t they? Because they are not going to investigate these agencies, or even tell the people what they did. Fucking Senator GARY. Won’t even tell us the FBI agents straight up lied.The link to the AP article is inside the TNR one.

Just so we’re clear, this animated film was given the green light at 20th Century Fox when James Murdoch (self-proclaimed social liberal) was the CEO, but when Disney finalized their acquisition of the company in early 2019 (the article says 2020; that’s incorrect), Disney tried to kill it. They definitely weren’t going to release it. Luckily, it somehow made its way to Netflix.‘Nimona’ Defied Disney to Become 2023’s Best Animated Filmhttps://www.thedailybeast.com/nimona-review-disney-nearly-killed-the-best-animated-film-of-2023?via=ios

This has me in tears AGAIN, but for better reasons this time. NO DEATH PENALTY in Texas for the El Paso shooter, instead he’s going to get what he actually deserves: he’s going to serve 90 life sentences and fucking rot away in prison.https://www.elpasotimes.com/story/news/crime/2023/07/07/el-paso-walmart-shooting-sentencing-patrick-crusius-gunman-receives-90-life-sentences/70390167007/

I was born in Houston and lived in it, or just outside of it, for most of my life. 35 years. I’m HORRIFIED— but people need to know:Houston is NOT doing this. The state of Texas took over the Houston Independent School District some months ago, appointed its own superintendent, and he is the monster doing this shit. The city is against this bullshit. The state of TEXAS is going after MY CITY. They’ve been winning too many damn elections for the “wrong” candidates and they don’t like it. They’re scared. The bulk of Dem votes come from Houston. Look at the numbers.Archive/free: https://archive.ph/Da8nQ

HOLY FUCKING SHIT. Disney scanned every background actor in WandaVision without giving them any explanation of how it may be used, asking them to make various facial expressions like “surprised” and “scared”. #wgastrike #wga #sagaftra #SAGAFTRAstrike #sagaftrastrong https://www.npr.org/2023/08/02/1190605685/movie-extras-worry-theyll-be-replaced-by-ai-hollywood-is-already-doing-body-scan

Who has time to be embarrassed anymore? I’m heartbroken. This is devastating. Hillsborough County Schools— Tampa— will be censoring Shakespeare from here on out, afraid of breaking the very broad, vague, and extremist rules that were signed into law by Florida’s Fürher, the Terror of Tallahassee. Tampa students will be given excerpts of the standard Shakespeare plays that US public high school students always read (Romeo & Juliet, Hamlet, and Macbeth), instead of being allowed to read the full plays and discuss them in the classroom. They didn’t mention Julius Caesar, but that was another requirement when I was in school. Maybe they don’t teach it anymore, or maybe they decided it aligns with GOP values since Joe Biden is still the sitting president.HOW FAR IS THIS GOING TO GO? Who’s going to stop it?Hillsborough schools cut back on Shakespeare, citing new Florida ruleshttps://www.tampabay.com/news/education/2023/08/07/hillsborough-schools-cut-back-shakespeare-citing-new-florida-rules/

Missed this important article from Matt Tait @Pwnallthethings in December about Telegram: “If you take away just one thing from this post, let it be this: Telegram is not safe to use as a chat or call app. It nearly cost Ihor his life. Ukrainians—and frankly everyone else too—should find another encrypted application for chats and calls.”https://www.pwnallthethings.com/p/russia-is-spying-on-telegram-chats?utm_campaign=post&utm_medium=web

Now, Gov. Kay Ivey of Alabama is exploring the idea of banning books statewide within the Alabama public library system itself — to be clear, the libraries that adults use.“Alabama’s state library agency is now under scrutiny by the governor, following a handful of local book challenges and conservative efforts to cut ties with the American Library Association.In a Sept. 1 letter to Nancy Pack, director of the Alabama Public Library Service, Gov. Kay Ivey said she had grown increasingly concerned about “the environment our Alabama libraries are providing to families and children.””#censorship #library #books #librarieshttps://www.al.com/educationlab/2023/09/alabama-library-agency-faces-scrutiny-from-kay-ivey-after-controversies-over-inappropriate-childrens-books.html

I’m specifically referring to older generations, but replies from Alpha, misclassified/misunderstood, & anyone I forgot are very welcome too.Many migrations later... please boost for a better sampling.Generations Key attached below#poll #migration #Twitter

I edited this thing soon after creating it to 7 DAYS not 24 hours, but didn’t check to see if it was successful. Obviously, it was not, nor was attempt #2 because editing to extend a poll on this app is obviously not a thing. :blobcatscream: :blobcatsweats: :blobcatreeeeeee: :meowTableFlip:Maybe just as well. :blobcatthink: :blobcatnompizza: :blobcatscience: :blobcatbeer: :blobninja: :blobcatspace:
