praises fictional serial killer Hannibal Lecter during rally speech - https://www.theguardian.com/us-news/article/2024/may/12/trump-rally-speech-hannibal-lecter "Ex-president calls Hopkins’ cannibalistic Lecter ‘late, great’ while condemning ‘people who are being released into our country’"

@glynmoody I've seen this mentioned online today and thought it was a meme.

@LALegault I love the video. There are some really upsetting and stunning shots packed in there.

How often do you carry a water bottle?

#EvanPoll #poll

evan,
@evan@cosocial.ca avatar

I'm rarely. I drink a lot of water, but I also don't leave the house for more than a few hours at a time, and carrying water feels like a hassle.

Reminder for underrepresented folk feeling sad discovering that some of the "founders" of Open Source are also open eugencists. Don't feel so sad! Because a lot of founders of Open Source are openly and vocally disdainful of those eugenicists, racists, and other bigots. ♥️👍🏿

There are a lot of different personalities in Open Source. And given the demographics of what OSS looked like back in the days, the percentage of bigots is higher than the public at large.

@mekkaokereke one nice part about Open Source is that anyone can take their code and use it and they can't do anything to stop it 💃🏼

If you hear something from a protest that you don't agree with, keep listening. You're the person whose mind they're trying to change.

On this day in 1982, Vangelis went to #1 on the Billboard Hot 100 with 'Chariots Of Fire', his only U.S. chart-topper.

It's perfectly OK for Palestinian Americans and other Arab Americans to organize and lead protests in the US.

@bjb true. I think what I was trying to say was, this should be OK.

How important is equality?

#EvanPoll #poll

evan,
@evan@cosocial.ca avatar

@brooke I get that and I realize it's tough for people.

evan,
@evan@cosocial.ca avatar

Thanks to everyone.

I really liked the framing that equality isn't as important when everyone has enough. However, I don't think we're there, and inequality highlights that fact, so I think equality (or its lack) is very important.

I do not consent to instruction via Socratic method.

evan,
@evan@cosocial.ca avatar

@rndeon yes, I understand. Usually the form the instruction takes is that I make a post and then someone asks me questions only loosely related to the topic.

All human beings have value and deserve basic human rights.

We must work proactively to identify and correct systems that prevent people from exercising their rights.

This isn't complicated and it shouldn't be controversial.

evan,
@evan@cosocial.ca avatar

I think the hard part about these ideas for some people is that human rights are universal. "Even them?" Yes, even them. "What about...?" Yes, them too. "But surely you can't mean...?" All people, everyone, no exceptions.
