From https://twitter.com/LockPickingLwyr/status/1007613178249965569/:

"The company that sent me the pictured fingerprint lock has provided the security quote of the year: “...the lock is invincible to the people who do not have a screwdriver.”"

@radicalgraffiti I found the bug in this:
“...he should turn...” and “...his business...”
Syntax error. That string don’t parse. A neofeudal manbaby cashtyrant can’t process reason to the common good in this fashion. 🤷🏽♀️
Only the workers TAKING control via direct action and mass general strike will result in syndicalist outcomes of even modest co-op calibre.

so apparently telling musk to that if he really cares about freedom he should turn his business into a workers coop is a violation of twitters rules

stop being liberals become radicals

feminism isn’t supposed to be a movement of happy girls putting glitter on their faces – feminism is supposed to make you sad. get angry. get mad. recognise your oppression. hate it. tear it down.

It concerns me that most of the "all trans girls/women are valid" images that I see include only illustrations of girls/women who could "pass" for cis. It would be nice to see illustrations that include those of us who can't get HRT, can't afford clothes or makeup, etc. Perhaps I'll draw one myself this week. #girlslikeus

There are other deep criticisms of a view of #cyberpunk that insists that unaltered bodies are the only true humanity, too. E.g.: authors with this view tend to conflate increasing augmentation with a decrease in emotion, as though expressive emotion were innately human–never mind autistic people, people with flat affects, etc.

But I like the idea that the criticism offers - that augmentation allows a person to uncover their true self, rather than being limited by the body they were born with.

I saw elsewhere - perhaps Twitter - a criticism of the #cyberpunk idea, reflected in Cyberpunk 2077, that the unaltered human body is somehow sacred, and that augmenting it is profane. The criticism noted that this was, at its core, transphobic.

The critic then turned the idea on its head into a trans-positive cyberpunk that eschewed "humanity" in favor of "essence". Maybe one person's essence is complete when they're born; maybe another's essence is lacking until they augment themselves.

@weirdoslam that is literally the best emoji for this.
