seeing conservative men debate how to dress online is very funny. can't dress up or wear interesting casualwear bc you've made any visible interest in dress to be a sign of homosexuality. but you feel the need to dress better bc you've linked dress to respectability. a prison of your own making.

🚨Meta got $3.9 BILLION in federal tax breaks last year to build AI data centers. Scott Wiener opposes a national moratorium on data centers and California’s billionaire tax. I support both because working families can’t afford to keep subsidizing billionaires and corporations.

Here we go. Took only, what. Three months? 😅 Kylo and Hux, celebrating Kylo's return from a lengthy mission. #kylux

Nsfw fanart of Armitage Hux and Kylo Ren drawn with a limited palette of monochrome plus yellows, oranges and reds.
Both of them are on a bed, Hux is penetrating Kylo while biting his throat, and Kylo strokes himself. Kylo is naked, while Hux is wearing a tanktop and socks with suspenders, and also his commander cap. Behind them is an arrangement of driftwood from Arkanis and some brightly-coloured alstromeria flowers. A large alstromeria is projected on the wall behind them. There is a narrow viewport in the wall, with three skulls of various species on either side of it.
There are pillows under the bed, and Millicent is sleeping behind one of them, apparently unbothered by what's going on above her.

CNN making this sound more mysterious than it is. It was Yersinia pestis, the plague, the researcher died because she inhaled it into her lungs and developed pneumonic plague, there is no danger but to those directly exposed in the lab. Fear-mongering in the time of global terror is a sick choice.

This piece touches on HKers’ sympathies for Ukraine stemming from 2019 (and I’d argue 2014 too). The situation is different obviously, but you can also understand why some HKers choose to fight - and die - for Ukraine

One thing I didn't to add here since the thread was ostensibly about the Milk Tea Alliance. As you may have noticed, the odd one out here is Maidan, which was not part of the 2019 cohort of pro-democracy protests. But it was by far the one most frequently-cited one during HK Revolution of Our Times

#Alphabetchallenge #WeekMForMachinery An articulated machine sculpture at The Walker Gallery Liverpool

A photo looking into a white painted gallery space at the Walker Gallery Liverpool.
In the centre is a tall articulated sculpture (Saints Alive) by Michael Landy.
There is the very tall figure of a man with a floating head, machinery gubbins for his torso and papier mache (I think) legs.
There are all sorts of religious elements to it with a small depiction of Adam and Eve hanging from a small basket from the cogs and wheel in the centre.
Above the man's head is a large metal knife that moves up and down hitting him when a button is pressed

For #AncientSiteSunday the #Hellenistic theatre at Pergamon, #Türkiye, built in the 3rd century BC, alterations were made in the #Roman period. It's one of the steepest known ancient theatres. The capacity was about 10,000 spectators. 📷️ C. Bredfeldt 🏺

A full shot of the ruins of an ancient theatre, located on a hillside. The theatre's steep tiered seating structure is clearly visible, constructed of light gray stone blocks, weathering evident in various tones. The hillside surrounding the theatre is covered with grass, creating a contrast between the man-made stone structures and the natural landscape. Sections of crumbling stone walls and foundations are scattered throughout the grassy slopes.

Section of a long thread on the different groups of Thai Chinese migrants So much of it seems based on which steamship lines happened to open to which ports Much like Sicilians in the US, fairly marginal groups back home can, via disproportionate migration, create entirely new worlds in diaspora

Along that note, most Italian Americans' ancestors likely didn't speak a language most modern-day Italians would understand They immigrated before the Italian state was able to impose standardization

The Chinese characters in Sinners explicitly speak Taishanese (a southeast Chinese language not mutually intelligible with Cantonese spoken by a very disproportionate number of Chinese migrants to the US) which I thought was an incredibly niche but very accurate note
