Good morning to my tens of followers. I've created an account on mastodon. If you want to give me a follow over there, I am @[email protected]. I will still be sweary despite a lack of the explicit warning.

I won't be deleting this account, but the aim is to be here less.

[Neil East @swearyneileast]

@RachelTrue Yeah. I was hoping we'd be better than the Boomers who sold out their Hippie ideals.

@Cycl0psIsRight ❤ Power Pack

❤ Runaways

@Seedalicious @emmasfrosts I disagree. I loved that movie.

Please note I do not claim to have good taste.

[Neil East @swearyneileast]

@glamimator @emmasfrosts Yes! Yes I did. A local rental pkace had it (in Brisbane Australia!)

I rented it a lot! I unironically love it.

[Neil East @swearyneileast]

@emmasfrosts Hands up if you saw the weirdly entertaining Generation X movie!

[Neil East @swearyneileast]

@LSaddler13 @emmasfrosts Made me a fan of Banshee and Emma Frost. She was shown to be a caring, if strict, head mistress in the New Mutants. This just re-enforced it.

I really need to re-read New Mutants and Gen X.

[Neil East @swearyneileast]

@emmasfrosts I knew I was reading something special at the time. To this day, Gen X Underground remains one of my favourite comics ever, and a prized possession. I connected with few comics since as strongly. I figue those half a generation ahead of me feel the same of the 80s New Mutans run.

[Auschwitz Memorial @AuschwitzMuseum]

Tattooed numbers were used only in one German Nazi camp — Auschwitz. These tattoos were assigned exclusively to prisoners who were registered in the camp. Out of approximately 1.3 million people deported to Auschwitz, only about 400,000 were registered as prisoners and given numbers.

The vast majority of Jews murdered in Auschwitz — around one million people — were never registered; they were murdered in gas chambers right upon arrival and received no tattooed number.

Moreover, tattoos were not exclusive to Jewish prisoners. Others — including Poles, Roma, Soviet POWs, and others — were also registered and tattooed at Auschwitz. Other concentration camps had entirely different systems for identifying prisoners and did not use tattoos at all.

To suggest that every Jewish victim of the Holocaust received a tattooed number — and to use the limited length of those numbers to cast doubt on the scale of the genocide — is not only factually false. This kind of distortion is a deliberate tactic used by Holocaust deniers to insult the memory of victims.

In the world of deniers, the suffering of real human beings is reduced to cynical wordplay and harassment. Denying is an assault on memory, truth, and human dignity.

Learn about strategies employed by Holocaust deniers to spread misinformation and falsehoods.

Awwww did someone take your hard work and use it to train a model to mimic your expertise without compensation

[Neil East @swearyneileast]

Simon Townsend died. How did I miss that? Genuinely sad about that.

[Neil East @swearyneileast]

@MikeMcMahanTM If there is going to be a Starbase 80 spin-off, Harry Kim needs to be a regular.

[Neil East @swearyneileast]

I am already missing Lower Decks. @MikeMcMahanTM, I'd like to add my rando Trek fan voice to @TrekCulture and @jessiegender in requesting a Lower Decks movie.

@StarTrekOnPPlus/@paramountplus are you listening?

[Neil East @swearyneileast]

@shellachead I see what you did there.

[Neil East @swearyneileast]

@shellachead Borked plane delayed us for about two hours. All while I was sick as a dog and just wanted to be in bed.

[Neil East @swearyneileast]

I just want to go home, Adelaide.

[Neil East @swearyneileast]

I made some mini pizzas for lunch. When the mood is upon me, I can cook up a storm.

[Neil East @swearyneileast]

I get jokes.
