This sculpture by Issac Cordal in Berlin is called “Politicians discussing global warming.”

like… opening doors isn’t rly chivalrous when it’s just a thing you ought to do for everyone. but real 21st century chivalry might be, like, standing between your female friend and the guy that’s trying to get her drunk, or offering to walk her home when it’s late.

It involved generosity and protecting those weaker than oneself: including opening doors when doors were made of badly fit heavy wood and often got stuck,and women, especially undernourished exhausted-from-childcare women, had a harder time opening them. It involved not lying, and following through on your promises. (A guy who is consistently late with the accounting reports, which delays the whole team, is not dedicated to chivalry, no matter how polite he is on a date.) 

Earlier this month, European right-to-repair activists sounded the alarm, warning that the model right-to-repair legislation that had been proceeding through the EU legislative process had been hijacked by lobbyists who had gutted its core protections and were poised to make repairs even harder in the EU.

But Europeans rallied, and now they seem to have the upper hand. Pressure groups like Germany’s Schraube locker!? (Screwloose!?) have organised mass write-in campaigns and other ways of lobbying EU officials, to good effect. This week, they scored a victory over refrigerator design, securing an amendment to the EU’s pending Eco Design and Energy Label Directives (where the right-to-repair rules are enshrined) that will require refrigerator manufacturers to design their appliances to be repairable with everyday tools, and to supply their customers with spare parts and manuals so they can keep their property in good working order.

It could be a model for many kinds of devices, a return to the Maker Manifesto’s call for “screws not glue” and “user-replaceable parts.”

At the vanguard of the movement are people from ex-Soviet states, where deprivation was the mother of innovation, so that thrifty, ingenious home repairs were the key to human thriving. This ethic is also key today, if we are to reduce our material consumption, carbon footprint, and complicity in the human rights abuses committed in the name of securing the conflict minerals in our devices.

Then I listened to his album, wherein he sings about:

decomposing in a field with his love and getting eaten by foxes

being dug out of the dirt by his love, who he implores to kiss him “like real people do”, implying that neither of them are real people

observing the world as an outsider (“happy to lie back, watch it burn and rust; we tried the world, good god it wasn’t for us”)

rising from his grave to crawl home to his love

“the bog man”

I knew how to cook. I knew how to light a fire, do basic first aid, swim, iron, do the laundry, wash-up oil-soaked frying pans at lightning speed, make a bed, change a fuse, hell, even build a bridge in an emergency. I found out the other day that one of my friends didn’t know what you were supposed to do when you burn yourself. On my first day at university, I met somebody who didn’t know how to to do the washing up. 

People had such a weird view on it when we were kids. They weren’t teaching us to be housewives. They weren’t teaching us how to look after other people, not really. They were teaching us how to take care of ourselves. I kind of wish I could go back and apologise for sulking so much about being made to learn the symbols on laundry labels. 

the devil

the lord of this manor better give us booze or we’ll burn his house Down

alternatively, give us some cash

this plant is Red like the blood of Childbirth

i was wooed in the sheep field

what up, it’s the Devil again

goods or tuppence may be exchanged for a viewing of this wren we’ve killed

SWORD DANCE TUNES

we sing in thanks of the maidservant who let the mob into the laird’s home

dancing is a sin but do you think i’m gonna stop

unlikely

the apple crop better be good or next year it’ll grow fertilized with your blood

the winter is cruel but the laird is crueler

the church is also cruel

it’s lucky to give us money. in this case, the luck is not getting stabbed

Now, the alarming aspect of this story is that the very same technology is probably what tumblr is using to identify porn. Now, if it can’t tell that an empty field is not, in fact, full of sheep, what hope do we have that it can’t tell an empty room isn’t full of writing human forms engaged in passionate coitus?

Also, this kind of system is super vulnerable to counter-neural strategies. I bet you before the end of the month someone hooks up their own open source one layer bicategory neural network which puts an imperceptible (to humans) layer of patterned static over arbitrary images, and trains it by having it bot-post static-ed images to Tumblr and reinforcing based on whether the images are labeled nsfw or sfw. Seriously, within a month someone will have an input-output machine which can turn any image ‘sfw’ in Tumblr’s eyes.

“Our side concocted the ‘bathroom safety’ male predator argument as a way to avoid an uncomfortable battle over LGBT ideology, and still fire up people’s emotions.”

It means that these groups, these organizations, are so Hellbent on getting trans people outlawed, hurt, and killed, that they will openly lie and admit to lying to stir up emotions. They have no qualms with actively lying and distorting reality. 

They have no qualms about misleading people. Actively lying to people. 

They don’t care how immoral their actions may be, how much their rhetoric flies in the face of reality, as long as it reaches their end goal of the destruction of “transgender ideology.” 

MassResistance and all their ilk want us dead, and should never be trusted, not even for the most trivial of matters. They should be rejected, reviled, despised, because nothing they do is in service of anything but hatred and evil. 

And in case anyone actually doubts this, and wants to cry “fake news,” here’s MR’s actual article. Should it get deleted, here’s an archived version. Some choice bits under the cut, if you want to see how vile these people really are.
