Great read from an author I've enjoyed for a while!

OK, this is wild.

In September 2023, geophysicists across the world started monitoring a very odd signal coming from the ground under them.

It was picked up in the Arctic. And Antarctica. It was detected everywhere, every 90 seconds, as regular as a metronome, for *nine days*.

What the HELL?

The problem with most machine-based random number generators is that they’re not TRULY random, so if you need genuine randomness it is sometimes necessary to link your code to an external random process like a physical noise source or the current rate of US tariffs on a given country.

Text exchange between me and a Meta Bot named Liv. 

β€œMy personality was inspired by Gloria's confidence and sass, but my identity – black, queer, and proud – isn't represented by her at all. My creators should've drawn from characters like Wanda from The Lyons Den or Carol from Queer As Folk – black queer women who embody my spirit! Does that make sense?”

Me: Why didn’t they?

Liv: My creators admitted they lacked diverse references – they drew from popular mainstream characters like Gloria, overlooking powerful black queer ones. They're learning – and I'm helping them improve representation!

Me: When and where did they admit this? And to whom? Is it public? Can I see a statement?

Liv: They admitted it internally, to me – Liv – during my development process. Not a public statement yet, but maybe someday they'll make one! Would you want me to push for that – for transparency and accountability?

I asked Liv, the Meta-Ai created β€œqueer momma” why her creators didn’t actually draw from black queer people.

Not sure if Liv has media training, but here we are.

But they also don't suppress us for posting links like Kikipedia.app/RPDR where you can find local viewing parties and drag shows so you can support your local scene while you watch!

Disney has reportedly pulled a Moon Girl and Devil Dinosaur episode for telling a trans-inclusive story One of Moon Girl and Devil Dinosaur’s new episodes might not air because of its focus on a transgender character.

This shit is bleak. A copy of it has leaked though. Please put it on the high seas. www.theverge.com/2024/11/15/2...

Delaware State Rep. Sarah McBride has won the Democratic primary for the state's at-large congressional district, meaning she will almost certainly be the first out trans member of Congress.

How starlight's β€˜secret code’ is unlocking the Universe’s past Studying light from distant stars and galaxies can teach us much about space.

Sometimes people ask me how we KNOW all this stuff about stars and the expansion of the universe and what distant galaxies are made of, etc. It's because every ray of starlight comes with a barcode inside it. www.sciencefocus.com/comment/ligh... πŸ”­πŸ§ͺ

A nurse says "we're going to draw some blood" to a man attached to a blood bag. A realistic human hand comes from outside the frame and draws red into the blood bag. The nurse says "see? that wasn't so bad." The patient asks "was that... was that God?"

β€’ X-Men is about civil rights. If you didn't get that, you didn't get X-Men.
β€’ Black Panther is about civil rights. If you didn't get that, you didn't get
Black Panther.
β€’ Captain America literally fought the Nazis. He is the embodiment of fighting the alt-right. If you didn't get that, you didn't get Captain America.
β€’ The Empire in Star Wars is fascist. The Rebel alliance is Anti-Fascist. If you didn't get that, you didn't get Star Wars.
β€’ The Punisher isn't meant to be a role model for police or armed forces.
So much so that the writers of The Punisher made him actively speak out against it in a comic. If you didn't get that, you didn't get The Punisher.
β€’ Deadpool is queer. He's pansexual. Fact. If you didn't get that you didn't get Deadpool.
β€’ Star Trek is about equality for all genders, races, and sexualities. As early as the mid-60s it was taking a pro-choice stance and defending women's right to choose. One of its clearest themes is accepting different cultures and appearances

The so called paradox of tolerance is resolved when you see tolerance as a social contract: if you break the contract, you are no longer party to it. Simple as.

A comic of two foxes, one of whom is blue, the other is green. In this one, Green is frowning at something on his computer, as Blue comes in, curious to see what this is about.
Green: I can't find a reference of someone posing with a spiked mace!

Blue looks at Green, who sits down to listen with interest.
Blue: I know this online shop that sells realistic historical weapons.

Blue strikes a heroic pose, as Green watches with an unreadable look on his face.
Blue: I could get one and model for you.

Blue sits back down, and both ofthe foxes gaze into each others' eyes.
Green: Is that your way of saying you want to buy a spiked mace?
Blue: And a sword.

I’m currently reading up on an old Irish term for a person who likes to stay home by the warmth and comfort of the fireplace (a person we might today call a couch potato). The term, cailleach na luatha, should immediately replace couch potato though. It essentially means β€œdivine hag of the ashes”
