WELCOME TO KANSAS 2027

This place is a message... and part of a system of messages... pay attention to it!

Sending this message was important to us. We considered ourselves to be a powerful culture.

This place is not a place of honor... no highly esteemed deed is commemorated here... no values are here.

What is here is dangerous and repulsive to us. This message is a warning about danger.

The danger is in a particular party... it increases towards the right... the party of danger is here... right in front of us.

The danger is still present, in your time, as it was in ours.

The danger is to the person, and it can kill.

The form of the danger is an emanation of hate.

This place is best shunned and left uninhabited.

Someone shared at work (it's a public account so not blurring name, he deserves credit)

Chris Bakke @ @ChrisJBakke I've started joining every Google Meet 30 seconds early. When you join early, everyone’s virtual note takers join early too. | spend the first few seconds screaming about how I'm on the Titanic, we've just hit an iceberg, the end is near, and | need immediate assistance. | then do the rest of the meeting normally. When the meeting ends, everyone gets an emailed transcript where the Al summary is: “Chris hit an iceberg, is trapped on a sinking ship, E and general Q2 pricing updates”

Hacktivists tried to find a workaround to Discord’s age-verification software, Persona. Instead, they found its frontend exposed to the open internet, and that was just the beginning.

We won't surveill you
And if we do it won't be that bad
And if it was, at least it's secure
And if it' not we didn't mean it
And if we did you deserved it

DHS is actively pursuing more and more denaturalizations.

Just waiting for Trump to replace the Statue of Liberty plaque:

"Give me your white, your rich,
Your billionaires yearning to invest,
The yachted oligarchs of your teeming shore.
Send these, the privileged, crypto-bros to me,
I lift my award beside the gold-painted door!"

I’m gonna be That Bitch who says they need to fly at least the Progress Pride flag. If it doesn’t have trans colors on it, then it isn’t representing the Stonewall riot.
There are events in American history, like the donut shop uprising, that are strictly gay. But Stonewall was trans, through and through. They should show it. 🏳️‍⚧️✊

@aizuchi No, you're right, I agree. They're flying the 8 color 1978 flag, I assume b/c someone thought it would be more respectful to history (and the site was previously flying just the 6 color flag). But now is the time to look forward, not backwards.
