lol i'm really sick of seeing anything about fred again but i will say that there's more to his privilege than knowing brian eno, you can literally trace his british lineage back to like the 16th century in 15min of clicking around wikipedia

@kentaro_tools this looks really dope i can't wait to try it out. can i also ask as someone wanting to get into making this kind of thing—are your plugins made purely in M4L or is it C++ ecosystem and such? Not sure what the possibilities/limitations of M4L are, thanks!

@danaturalleague oh yeah my dad used to call us from india on one of these, and literally every convo began with him marveling at the magicJack

@Pinboard @CptKrrk man i had mad respect for you at some point in the past, but your flippant and dismissive approach to this is honestly making me feel real sad and pretty disoriented. hope u can find it in your heart to treat trans ppl with the same anti-oppressive lens as HK democracy protestors

@Sara_Imari Lilith's Brood (and Xenogenesis Trilogy) by Octavia Butler. Humanity is confronted by a far more mature species that basically wants to save humanity from itself (for a price), tells humans their genetic wiring is self-destructive, and humans have to decide what to do with this

@JubileeDJ yes finally somebody explained fr3d perfectlyyyy

@binarybits lol just writing "objectively speaking" doesn't amount to evidence

[nikhil sonnad @nkl]

@AjitPai @jack @elonmusk "inaccurate" is inaccurate. accuracy means correspondence to reality—representing the truth. this is "incorrect"—adhering to a set of rules. in this case arbitrary ones that are only enforced by annoying types

so i somehow got tied up in this story, leading to huge amounts of harassment, death threats, other threats aimed at me (thread inc) https://t.co/5OhkXYd2hv

I'm sure writing this thread will only incur more nationalist wrath. And the notion that I would call any language "ugly" is so fucking ridiculously out of step with my worldview that I will not even address it. I will, however, see what I can do about blaming @Google
