Hey media! Incels are the new Gamergate. Are you going to mess this up again? Are you going to laugh them off as a weird curiosity with valid ideas to explore, or are you going to recognize them as a hate movement that has *already* inspired multiple murders?

Dumbest fucking idea ever. Destroy a glacier to raise awareness of the destruction of glaciers?! Idiots. https://t.co/zbxuk5PvHh

I can’t believe I’m genuinely having to explain to people that a) women don’t owe you sex b) someone not wanting to date you because you’re a giant misogynist is not an attack on your human rights.

Puerto Ricans are rising up today against the exploitation of misery and trauma for profit. They are getting attacked for it. https://t.co/43du2cvDQZ

Speaking with my brother @FINALLEVEL we always laughed saying that our words are attached to our faces and lives. There’s no way to detach. Any word or negative opinion coming from a faceless scared to be identified trollizen is like spit from a hooded torch carrying klansman.

Again, why do you insist on telling us they were pork meals? We see what you're doing, we know what you are. https://t.co/mOS78JW69k

What Being “Politically Incorrect” Actually Looks Like – “But there is an even more important conclusion to draw from Michelle Wolf’s comedy. It helps us see through the lie about political correctness, this idea that feminists are trying to kill humor. They’re not trying to kill it. They’re trying to turn it against the people who deserve to be its targets: the Trumps and Weinsteins and Cosbys and Moores of the world.” Punching up versus punching down.

re:publica 2018 – Peter Frase: Whose Future? – “The impact of automation on workers is often presented in a mechanical or deterministic way, as if technology determines economics. But really, the future of work in the context of automation is always a political question.” Fantastic marxist analysis on the implications of robots and automation.
Safiya Umoja Noble: Algorithms of Oppression – “Data discrimination is a real social problem.” Mind the movie spoiler at the start, otherwise very good.
#watch,
Man Gets Schooled By Anti-Fascism Sign – “Man fails to rip up a sign he doesn’t like. May Day in Seattle.” Sadly no longer online, you can find the video in Desus & Meros show, but I won’t link to them.

The Paradox of Tear Gas – “Banned in warfare yet routinely used to quell protest at home, tear gas epitomizes the contradictions of modern state violence.” The usage in war is slightly different, but it is still outrageous that this is allowed.
A Conversation between Kalle Lasn and Douglas Tompkins – “A critical discussion of mega-tech is entirely absent from the social or political discourse, it is a non issue because everyone is looking in the wrong direction. It is indicative itself of the grip and fascination that the social movements are locked on to with the internet, satellite communications, mesmerized by advertising and social pressures, the cell phone trance and all the other technological rapture that especially besets this present young generation.”
Ana Mendieta Fought for Women’s Rights and Paid with Blood – “The fearless artist was outspoken about issues like campus rape and domestic violence when they were still taboo.” Very inspiring artist covering timeless aesthetic and themes.
Pimps Are Preying on Sex Workers Pushed Off the Web Because of FOSTA-SESTA – “Sex workers are terrified:” Less than three weeks after the so-called anti-sex trafficking bill became law, the consequences are dire.” The stupidity of Trumps administration is not normal.
Berkeley Earth – “In April 2014, Berkeley Earth began a major new effort to collect and analyze the world’s air pollution data.”
See Your City’s Air Pollution Measured in Daily Cigarettes – “Smoking is one of the best-known ways to poison your lungs, but good old fashioned air pollution plays a role, too. An app called Shit, I Smoke! (free on iOS and Android) puts your local pollution in terms you can understand.”
Russia launched a floating nuclear power plant this weekend – “On Saturday the world’s first floating power plant left St. Petersburg, Russia, towed by two boats. The two-reactor, 70MW floating power plant is headed through the Baltic Sea and north around Norway, to a Russian town called Murmansk, where the boat will receive its fuel.” What could possibly go wrong?
A French revolution that pushed immigrants to the margins | Nabila Ramdani – “The legacy of the ’68 Paris protests was not integration, but increased alienation for minorities”

Bruno Latour: «Avec le réchauffement, le sol se dérobe sous nos pieds à tous» – “c’est un lien que j’invente, mais il n’est pas absurde. C’est devenu évident maintenant, notamment à cause de cette décision des Etats-Unis et d’un retour de la lutte des classes, qui sont désormais géopolitiques. Cela doit réveiller la politique, à condition qu’on s’intéresse simultanément à la question sociale et à la question écologique, ce qui est encore loin d’être le cas.”
Cambridge Analytica wieder in den Schlagzeilen: Datenabgriff auch von Twitter – “Der Forscher Alexander Kogan, der Daten von Millionen Facebook-Nutzern sammelte und an Cambridge Analytica weitergab, hatte offenbar auch Zugang zu Twitter-Daten.” Surprise.
