what the libcucks fail to understand is that this is a small price to pay for the end goal: an embedded HUD with unskippable advertisements in the margins of your eyesight

this screenshot is a headline edit/joke, about a real USA Today article (which is far more praising) and is spreading around twitter and here. The real number of primates they've killed is lower, but I think it's important to understand why.

Neurallink is a fucking awful company whose marketing materials and CEO are outright lying as to their products' supportable potential. But they're not big enough to actually have killed 3,000 primates. Most significantly, we know that the the Physicians Committee for Responsible Medicine filed a lawsuit against a UC Davis lab for invasive and deadly brain experiments on 23 intelligent primates.

The Physician Committee points out in its complaint that Neuralink and UC Davis staff failed to provide dying monkeys with adequate veterinary care, used an unapproved substance known as “Bioglue” that killed monkeys by destroying portions of their brains, and failed to provide for the psychological well-being of monkeys assigned to the experiment.

The reason it's important to point out that it's less than 3,000 is that this kind of work is very often done at university laboratories, which gives us more leverage to slow it down or keep it out of this dude's hands.

Okay, here's my idea:

The British should put a time limit on the Monarchy.

Not like declaring a republic tomorrow, but deciding on a date in the future that ends the British Monarchy.

And there's a perfect date for it coming up!

October 14th, 2066.

A thousand years since the Battle of Hastings. A thousand years of this one specific bloodline ruling England.

Call time on the Monarchy after exactly one thousand years. Nice, and neat.

Even better: Charles isn't living 44 years. He'll be gone in about twenty. Now William? He's what, 40? Yeah, he can live another 44 years. His great grandmother was over a hundred, his granny was 96, William can make it to 84 barring accident or assassination.

So on October 14th 2066, William the Last steps down a thousand years after William the First won the crown.

Nice, neat, and fair. William gets the crown he's been waiting forty years for already, but ten-year-old George grows up without expectation of it.

Have a nice big abdication ceremony, even.

Plus, what an absolute baller move to announce your regnal name as William the Last.

Full offense but if as a queer goy your first response to “Jewish people are in danger because of Kanye West’s antisemitic comments” is “they’ll come for queer people after they come for the Jews, we need to act” you should really be asking yourself why you need to make this about queer people and not Jewish people to care enough to act. Like yes this isn’t good for anyone but why does it need to be about you for you to care. Queer Jews are already in danger from this. Are we not human enough for you to give a shit about us?

actually ya know what i’m gonna add onto this bc i’ve lost patience. i’ve seen a ton of ppl say “you should care abt this bc it affects queer jews/trans jews/jews of color/disabled jews/doubly marginalized jews” and honestly that’s just not good enough. because that shows me you don’t care about us as jews, you only care about the other parts of our identity and us being jews is just coincidence. but you can’t chop people up into pieces and choose which parts of us to care about. you have to be for ALL jews, including the most cishet white able bodied privileged jews among us, because they are still jews and they are still targets of antisemitism regardless of if they don’t have a single other axis of marginalization. either you acknowledge that being jewish in and of itself makes someone a target of antisemitism, or you just admit you don’t think jews are persecuted anymore regardless of what you’ve seen. at which point you are absolutely useless to us as an ally.

Huh I wonder what Bernie was doing when that happened

“Chicago police officers carry protester Bernie Sanders, 21, in August 1963 to a police wagon from a civil rights demonstration at West 73rd Street and South Lowe Avenue. He was arrested, charged with resisting arrest, found guilty and fined $25. He was a University of Chicago student at the time.” From a Chicago Tribune article about this picture specifically

This protest, by the way, was a protest against segregation in the Chicago school system. Black students were only allowed to attend classes in portable trailers (referred to as Willis Wagons, named after the school superintendent Benjamin Willis) so remember how everyone makes jokes about how those shitty temporary classrooms had to become permanent classrooms because the US doesn’t fund education nearly as much as it should? Yeah only black students had to use those shitty temporary classrooms, while white students enjoyed actual buildings with proper infrastructure.

Bernie was demonstrating against this, was arrested, charged with resisting that arrest, because he had done nothing wrong, and was fined the modern equivalent of almost $200 for it.

The thing about bugs bunny is that he lives and dies by his bits. He’s fully capable of killing you if he wanted, but the thing is, not only is he a nice guy, he’s a funny guy. To beat bugs bunny, many people assume that you just have to not fall for the jokes. If he hits you with a pie, you don’t flinch, and eventually you’ll ware him down. The issue is, misery will only last you so long. There’s only so much bits to endure before it becomes funny. And whoever is getting laughed at is losing. Instead, to kill bugs bunny, you have to beat him at his own game. When he throws a pie, don’t try to sidestep or be a sourpuss, that’s playing into his hands. Instead, you comically open your mouth and swallow it whole. This is how you kill a god.

Not in the fucking slightest ^_^

The Navajo language was chosen to code U.S. military operations because it has no written form and is almost impossible for non-native speakers to learn. After the operation was declassified in 1968, the Japanese Chief of Intelligence admitted that though his army had been able to decipher many U.S. codes, they were never able to crack the Navajo code. Source Source 2

And the irony is that if the U.S. government had gotten their way, there would have been NO Navajo speakers at all by WWII. First Nations Children were forcibly taken to “Indian schools” for decades starting in the 1890s, where they were viciously punished for speaking a word of their own language. The fact that the language survived to become an asset to the country that tried to kill it doesn’t get mentioned often.

It’s very important that the above comment be reblogged along with the OP information.

alas, no:

but that does mean you still have the opportunity to watch it burn down in glorious real time if someone manages it.
