I feel like a certain poster here is conveniently and transparently overlooking the word “DEVELOPING” in the title.
I notice the wikipedia article is still un-edited, too. Put your money where your mouth is if you’re so confident.

No sci-fi wasn’t an official thing, yet the title of this is ‘were developing the Afro-Futurism/Black Sci-Fi genre…’
I’d say a fictional story about slaves successfully rebelling and taking over a country, narrated by a scientist, who does science things, counts.
It is ridiculous how much hair-splitting is done when it’s Black culture, and I’m quite embarrassed by the attempt to claim entire wikipedia sections are ‘wrong’ like this.
(Not saying you’re saying that, I understand we’re on the same page.)
So looking up the Blake story it’s not really sci-fi at all?
You should edit the wikipedia entry then, because it disagrees with you.
"Samuel R. Delany described it as "about as close to an SF-style alternate history novel as you can get.
Further, while it incorporates elements of the fugitive slave narrative, Blake’s narrator is also a scientist, whose focus on data collection and research stand in repudiation of the racial science of the day.[10] In fact, this reflects one of Delany’s major themes: that Africa and its contributions to science and math were foundational to the Western world.[12]"
Well you didn’t write a typo, so why the fuck are you talking about them?
Whoever designed whatever the fuck you’re supposed to be forgot how English grammar works, I suspect.
I’ll let your leash-holder figure it out.
👌👍 Meanwhile screeching because of ads and I have to pay.
And what the hell is this line? Is this supposed to be English?
This video is actually shockingly relevant right now, and does go through (some of) the ‘hows’ and ‘whys’.
Remember that tradwife/incel/etc shit is all just fascism boiled down into specifics. The Nazi’s sent women who wouldn’t marry to camps just as easily as Jewish people, gypsies, etc. We think of the Fascist movement as specifically anti-Jewish people, maybe throw in some gay people/etc, but Unionists, Communists, Socialists, and Women were targeted as well.
The reason it works is because it offers easy answers, and the average person has been made to be so lazy they’ll accept what they’re told, especially if they’re told everyone else is doing it. They aren’t a Nazi, they’re part of the Nazi’s.
We also have a huge backlog of emotional baggage for men post the 1980’s. At some point we all accepted that men wouldn’t show any emotions except anger, rage, frustration, etc, and then kept doubling down on it. Now you have groups of young men fed directly into a pipeline of Facebook/Youtube/whatever platform that spoon feeds them fascist garbage. Why? Because it makes them tame and easier to control. You notice fascists aren’t out there killing rich people, they’re killing minorities? That’s by design, because the wealthy know they’re fucked if young men turn that rage against them, the real perpetrators of said poor people’s suffering.
The wealthy love fascism, it gives them everything they want. They don’t see the poor people below them as human, so it’s all just a giant menagerie to them so they can have their Line Go Up Faster than the other rich people.
Where is this common? I have family in Ontario, Saskatchewan, Alberta, and BC, and we rarely see flags on people’s lawns/whatever. I’m in Vancouver and there is ONE flag within a 20 minute walk in any direction. In fact, my kids refer to it as ‘the flag house’ it’s so out of place.
Hell our Prime Minister had to ask us to be more patriotic for the olympics in 2010.
Hey it’s for hockey and racism in Canada, too!
As Libb here said, wordpress is excellent for just writing out a blog. Also, /u/dru@endlesstalk.org, please tell us when you have your blog up :)
Seeing him setting himself on fire while taking on three chargers brang a tear to my eye.
It’s brought, not brang. Sorry this is physically painful for me, and I need to get better about it, but I had to say something. Otherwise agree 100%.
I think I would need some kind of example of what we’re counting as ‘intelligence.’
Gimme some more
What if he’s got to move these refrigerators? What if he’s got to move these color tv’s?
That ain’t workin’. That’s the way you do it.
Very few games, let alone FPS’, have stories that hit Me like Marathons. I loved their idea of AI being created through boredom and insanity.
Everybody always like “fuck cars” but nobody can “fuck in car.”
Hey I just wanted to say I think this is a beautiful post, and I’m sorry I somehow checked it off without seeing it. Thank you so much for sharing this, I hope it helps someone going through what you were.
ourtant c’est plutôt commun au Québec. Ça s’enchaîne pas comme les sacres liturgiques mais c’est bien utilisé. Quelque chose peut être fucké. Une personne peut être fuckée. C’est fucking chiant. Fuck ça! Juste, fuck!
Hey, congrats!
