⚠️MASSIVE CONTENT WARNING⚠️
I am sharing a gratuitously violent and horrific screenshot from a neo-Nazi chatroom I have been closely monitoring. I captured it last summer. The message depicts a Nazi executing transgender people by shooting them in the back of the head, decapitating them, and ripping their spines out. Corpses and a bloody rainbow flag lie at the feet of a Nazi in a gas mask holding up a decapitated transgender person's head.
This group chat has previously celebrated calls to execute LGBTQ+ people by firing squad. I am not sharing these horrific things for no reason.
When Michael Knowles took the stage at CPAC and called for a genocide against transgender people, American Nazis present at CPAC understood the message. Ryan Sanchez, a member of the neo-Nazi gang Rise Above Movement and administrator for the Nazi group chat I mentioned, quoted Knowles today on Telegram, writing that he was on the way "to eradicate transgenderism from public life in the United States."
Did the neo-Nazi chatroom moderated by Ryan Sanchez depict an ideology being eradicated? No. It depicted human beings being eradicated. The Republican Party has revealed their newest mainstream position and it's time we stop hiding from what that position is: support for a new Holocaust against transgender people.
It's worth noting that Ryan Sanchez was not the only neo-Nazi mingling at CPAC. Everyone has already seen how I exposed him and neo-Nazi blogger Greyson Arnold networking with Republican congressman Matt Rosendale. But did people know that Sanchez has publicly stated that CPAC had multiple neo-Nazis in attendance? He cited groups like the Rise Above Movement and even Patriot Front.
Do not avert your eyes. They are being completely transparent about what their "final solution" is for the "transgender question."
@winicons Somebody call the FBI.
@valkyraven oh wow, that's terrible. Hoping they get you back up sooner than that!
@calicoday Yeah, I go to Reddit fairly often for that kind of thing. Basically a worse version of StackExchange.
But I created an account and tried to get back into the discourse recently, and had a way worse experience than I've had in the past.
The one thing that seems to have changed is that violent and harassing comments actually seem to get admin attention now.
I guess the toxicity has the admins seeing the writing on the wall for the future of their site. Probably too late though.
@PixelAndPolyCurator I'm working on everyone's first Blender project right now: A donut.
I'll definitely post it once it looks the way I want it to!
I've been spending a lot of my free time learning #Blender, and I finally feel like I know enough to actually use the software. I'm still a complete beginner, but I might start posting stuff that I've made soon.
It's a really cool program, I've wanted to learn it for a long time. Really happy with a lot of the improvements over the past few years that make it easier to get started. Used to feel like I needed a degree to have a chance at making anything...
To-do:
-Install Pop-OS.
-Install Drivers, software, and custom user config.
-Restore Steam library.
-Test everything to make sure things still work the way I like them.
Here's all that went wrong:
-Nvidia driver not compatible with Blender.
-Upgrade driver and lose graphics entirely.
-Downgrade driver and still have no graphics.
-Futile troubleshooting and frustrated googling.
-Try to boot from USB, MSI fastboot blocking all preboot USB.
-More googling...
-Take computer completely apart to get to BIOS battery.
-Reset BIOS
-Put computer back together.
-Turn of Windows defaults in BIOS.
-Boot to USB.
-Back up home folder to USB hard drive (ongoing)
Love it when a small project like "get Blender working with my RTX 2060" turns into an entire evening taking my PC apart, resetting the BIOS, backing up my NVMe, installing a new Distro, and reconfiguring from scratch...
To be fair, my PC has been through a lot of hacking, patching, breaking, fixing, and dist-upgrading over the past few years, this is probably a good thing that needs to happen.
Retiring Kubuntu and getting a fresh start with Pop-OS. Hopefully rendering with Cycles at the end.
@bstacey People are embracing the "Artificial Intelligence" of language models the same way Tesla drivers embrace the "Full Self Driving" of driver assist, as it drives them at highway speeds into the side of a semi truck.
I confess myself a bit baffled by people who act like "how to interact with ChatGPT" is a useful classroom skill. It's not a word processor or a spreadsheet; it doesn't have documented, well-defined, reproducible behaviors. No, it's not remotely analogous to a calculator. Calculators are built to be *right*, not to sound convincing. It's a bullshit fountain. Stop acting like you're a waterbender making emotive shapes by expressing your will in the medium of liquid bullshit. The lesson one needs about a bullshit fountain is *not to swim in it*.
