"If you set up a machine such that any question you put in will lead to an answer coming back out…you are setting up a view of the world and of knowledge that says, 'All questions have a discrete, knowable, objective answer,' and that's just not true and has no place in education." ❤️😍💯

“how do we win back trump voters in 2026” we don’t. we create an environment where admitting to voting for trump is so socially embarrassing as to render them completely inert. you don’t “win back” trump voters. you demoralize them into staying home. you make it a dunce cap

if you won’t listen to me, maybe you’ll listen to @lillywachowski.bsky.social because if you actually care about trans people you gotta drop Harry Potter

There is a big "Harry Potter" series coming out on HBO soon and there are many people opposed to it because of J.K.
Rowling's transphobia.
She is funding trans genocide. J.K. Rowling funds trans genocide, full stop. So, if you support "Harry Potter," you're supporting trans genocide. The money that goes into you enjoying these products, a portion of that money goes to J.K. Rowling and that money goes into her funding anti-trans legislation all over the world. In the same way that if you are against Elon Musk, you boycott or don't buy Tesla; and if you're against global warming/climate change, you try not to buy as much gas, you try to mitigate your use of these products. It's simple math. So, your enjoyment of these shows, and continued support of these shows, is supporting my eradication.

"If those who blamed me knew how many destroyed houses I walked over with those shoes that I threw; and how many times those shoes mixed with the blood of the innocent....then it was probably the proper response." -- Iraqi journalist Muntadhar al-Zaidi, upon his release from prison.

If you look at online trans people and think cult it's because you've absorbed the right wing narrative that trans people are a dangerous ideology. You're not adopting it wholesale, but it's nudging you towards explanations for annoying but normal behavior that resonates with right wing tropes.

"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.

For Americans who sanitize the bombing violence we and our allies have routinely done and pretend it's not really murder and terror maybe it has to do with the fact that we cannot imagine ourselves being bombarded? www.welcometohellworld.com/we-are-going...

I understand why there are supposed to be “rules of war” of course and certain things are “prohibited” – like the use of white phosphorus for example – and maybe I am being naive here but I never really got why exploding a building on top of human bodies is one of the acts of war where it’s just how it goes. It's considered basically fine.

Are the victims not being tortured in there while they die?

Shot with a gun sure. Of course we don't need to imagine that here in America.

But bombed? Over and over again? For years. That doesn't even seem real. That doesn't happen to people.

After 9/11, these two white men became so horny with bloodlust that they signed up to invade countries that had nothing to do with 9/11 so they could slaughter as many brown people as possible. Now they run the country. And I just think it’s neat that they have different letters after their names.

I reach above me and pull down a file on
Guatemala. It is on the CIA coup of 1954. Why did the US destroy that small country? Because the landless movement and the Left fought to elect a democratic politician - Jacobo Árbenz - who decided to push through a moderate land reform agenda. Such a project threatened to undercut the land holding of the United Fruit Company, a US conglomerate that strangled Guatemala. The CIA got to work. It contacted retired Colonel Carlos Castillo Armas, it paid off brigade commanders, created sabotage events, and then seized Arbenz in the presidential palace and sent him to exile.
Castillo Armas then put Guatemala through a reign of terror. 'If it is necessary to turn the country into a cemetery in order to pacify it,' he said later, 'I will not hesitate to do so! The CIA gave him lists of Communists, people who were eager to lift their country out of poverty. They were arrested, many executed. The CIA offered Castillo Armas its benediction to kill; A Study of Assassination, the CIA's killing manual, was handed over to his butchers. The light of hope went out in this small and vibrant country.
