I remember a really frustrating conversation with a generally decent cishet white guy about a news story where a woman was roofied. he went off about wishing he could beat that guy up to avenge her, and I was like "how about start with calling out your friends' sexist tweets?" and he was like 😳

"They're not misunderstanding the film; they're co-opting a message"

Screencap from the interview linked in the quoted post

Marlow Stern (the interviewer): You have one of the most renowned replies in Twitter history. Elon Musk tweeted out, “Take the red pill,” then Ivanka Trump enthusiastically wrote, “Taken!” to him, and then you replied, “Fuck both of you.” I’m curious how you feel about the co-opting of “The Matrix” by those on the right who don’t really seem to understand its messaging.

Lilly Wachowski: I mean, I can’t sit in a room and explain the movie to every single person who watches it. Even if I did sit in a room with Elon Musk and Ivanka Trump — yikes — it doesn’t matter. They’re not misunderstanding the film; they’re co-opting a message. And that’s what fascists do: They co-opt the messages of progressives and use it to their benefit to confuse and obfuscate what is going on and the intention of their ideology. They do it with everything. They do it with Martin Luther King Jr. Look at how they’ve changed the idea of what antisemitism is.

there is no such thing as "age verification." All "age verification" is actually "identity verification." You can coat it in glitter and "privacy-preserving" wrapping paper. But in the end, mandating age verification means mandating surveillance be built into software and hardware. Period.

As MANY people in the comments point out, this article does not mention Long COVID, which affects ~16 million U.S. adults. At a more basic level, the story never states that COVID is airborne and that masking is the best way to prevent getting COVID. What are science journalists even doing here.

Photo of a book page reading:
"Oh, I don't. It's just that instead of focusing on the canon of great writers, you taught a class about the history of the English novel that was all freaks and perverts," Gavin says mildly.

"The history of the English novel IS all freaks and perverts!" Jamie realizes she's shouting, and the people on the street are probably staring. "Freaks and perverts created all the culture worth talking about. That's how it's always been. The people who have to go into the most desolate places and wallow in dirt just to find something, anything, that they can hold onto—"

Donors kept my mom alive during cancer times longer than she ever could've hoped to have lived without frequent platelet infusions. I don't donate whole blood because it's given me iron issues before, but I do just fine setting aside a couple hours for platelet apheresis. Here's how it goes:
