Do the Right Thing.

I think Spike Lee is a racist, but I love that movie.

Spike Lee's best film is Summer of Sam. And yeah, he's a Commie Racist cunt.

I actually like Malcolm X. He was a flawed man but who isn't? I can appreciate his viewpoint, and he was assassinated because he was making progress. I think he's more interesting than Martin Luther King, and more correct.

Something that I think we are mostly unaware of is slavery didn't end with the Civil War. Prison labor is slave labor and it was VERY EASY to end up in jail if you were black, just jaywalk or be accused of some trivial crime. Blacks were a vulnerable population that were purposely kept poor for decades after the civil war, they were easy to take advantage of and they were abused and used well into the 1950s.

I also like Malcolm X. Pull up by bootstraps, get wealth and power to not be a victim, positive message guy.

For a period of time he actually supported segregation. He was like "I give up on the white man!" but I've heard (not read yet) that he abandoned that idea. I kind of like the idea he promoted the concept of "fuck you all, we'll just make our own damned society" - I think that's a good idea among people of similar ideology, not racial.

Shit, if I could bow out of this bullshit government and go my own way, I'd consider it - but I was a stupid, and I'm in "high tech", that's a horrible trap. I have a to work for a billion dollar company. I'm trying to extract myself from this naive nightmare I joined as a stupid 20 year old kid.

X, he started the original "#walkaway" movement. I almost regret it wasn't successful. He knew his enemy white people, they think their enemies are their friends. That's the whole point of racism, to get us to side with our enemies.

That's why we gotta expand off the planet. I expect the Earth to get nuttier and nuttier. Go raise the Periapsis, young man.

Hahaha, no.

Imagine living on Mars - all you'd be doing is maintaining your environment to prevent death and growing food. You'd be in a prison for life and your only job is survival. There's not going to be any Mars semiconductor lab any time soon. It would be a totally artificial environment.

We're 100's of years away from being able to live comfortably off Earth. Maybe 1000's. The people that move there would mutate as well, in 1/3rd gravity. They might be 9 feet tall on average who can't even enter the gravity well of Earth. This idea of living off Earth seemed great when I was a kid, but imagine the largest structure you can imagine, and spending your entire life in that - that's what it would be like. No matter how comfortable how luxurious it was, it would be a prison in time.

SAN FRANCISCO, CA—Elon Musk’s bid to purchase Twitter came up short after 138,000 board votes were found at 2 a.m., a company spokesman confirmed Tuesday. Musk had been in talks to purchase the company for $44 billion.

“We really thought Musk was going to pull this one out,” said Twitter CEO Parag Agrawal. “The yes votes had a strong lead when I went to bed last night, but that was before we counted all the mail-in votes that one of our employees found in locker 142 at the bus terminal.”

When the final votes were tallied, the takeover bid failed by a final tally of 10 votes for, 138,000 votes against. While the final result came as a shock to most observers, Agrawal said the election was fair. “Twitter takes election integrity very seriously,” he noted. “I can confidently say this was the most secure election in American history.”

A shocked Musk took to Twitter Tuesday to express his outrage. “Those ballots…that’s a whole big scam,” Musk tweeted. “The only way I could have lost is if this was rigged! I refuse to accept the results of this vote!”

Musk later tweeted that he was planning a demonstration at Twitter headquarters on May 6 to protest the results. His account was then permanently suspended by Twitter for questioning the integrity of the election.

Some people are already testing the waters:

Why don't they make their own Twitter, or something?

Rotating living quarters. We're 10-20 years if we, in JFK's words, "Do the things" that need doing, which means not sending up 6th Grade Potato Hydroponic projects for $100M's to the ISS and instead start testing rotating habitats and more inflatable modules and craft-to-craft refueling.

We have the basic tech to have Arctic style medium duration (6-12 mos) outposts now. After a few of those, we'll be ready for long term occupation of years.

Long-term, Earth will only get more centralized and governments will not tolerate experiments in new forms of governance and living. Only outside the reach of bureaucrats is it possible. The G-well makes stopping these things impossible.

They're losing their bot swarms that are programmed to make them look like they have credibility?

I just got almost 100 retweets and likes for an offhand wiseass comment.

Also, about a dozen people followed me in the hour or so I was on there.

That hasn't happened since January 2020.

Is there any doubt in your mind?

"All your Tweet Data are belong to moi!"

Is there any doubt in your mind?

"My ass kissing botswarm! It's dying, it's dying! Please, evil Globalist paymasters, save my lockstep Twitter botswarm!"

Could be. I do know that they froze the Algo from edits and access yesterday, so the SJW Sisters or Tech Trannies (compare to "Tech Bros") can't touch it
