So, related, I had an idea… I noticed they have a comm over there for people to introduce themselves. Would it be a terrible idea for people here who want to interact with them positively to make posts on that comm? I was thinking of doing one myself either tomorrow or Saturday talking about hobbies, interests, etc., and maybe find like minded people. I was thinking that maybe if they got to know some of us a little better, we’d be a little less scary to them and they might be more willing to interact with us. What do you think?

I also think is a great idea for a comm and maybe something we should have over here for the same purpose.

Very much in favor as long as I’m comfortable with the person doing it.

Absolutely love this. It reminds me a lot of one of my favorite artists, Otto Dix, who was prolific around the same time and who’s art had similar themes: https://www.wikiart.org/en/otto-dix

A little off topic, but wouldn’t making posts like this (the one linked, not this post of course) made to whip up hate against Hexbear be a form of brigading? They’re clearly trying to incite people against us. I’d think if we were regularly doing this sort of thing to other instances, those instances would take issue with it. And this was after he (EDIT: Sorry I shouldn’t assume gender here. If only they had visible pronouns?) came over to Hexbear pretty clearly trying to pick a fight.

I found this great list, though I don’t think I’ve read any of these myself: https://myanimelist.net/stacks/2128

I’ve read that Ashita no Joe was particularly influential and is on my list of manga to read soon. There’s also Capital - In Manga! Which is supposed to be a summary of the ideas presented in Capital.

Much thanks for this!

This is a summary from Naomi on her version of the events: https://www.reddit.com/r/OutOfTheLoop/comments/wn6qx0/what_is_going_on_with_linustechtips_and_naomi_wu/ik7r83u/

There was apparently no smoking gun of him demanding sex, but him asking her to meet at his hotel at 10 pm, and then not showing the chatlogs where all this was discussed, does seem pretty sus in light of his attempts to spin recent events.

Putler is launching attacks on American soil now???!?

I would just make holes and then worry about covering them up later. Are the walls a pretty standard color? If that’s the case, there’s probably a putty you can use to cover up the holes very easily.

You might be interested in this article from 1988: https://www.villagevoice.com/in-search-of-a-soviet-holocaust/ It’s one of the best I’ve found on the topic.

The plot thickens:

What has remained unreported until now is that, prior to the raids, the newspaper had been actively investigating Gideon Cody, Chief of Police for the city of Marion. They’d received multiple tips alleging he’d retired from his previous job to avoid demotion and punishment over alleged sexual misconduct charges.

The is the greatest comment I’ve seen on this website in a long, long time. Maybe ever.

Are there any specifically furry instances we can federate with?

Thanks for posting this. This is another great case that illustrates how western media manipulation happens.

Star Trek is a huge exception, but It’s strange how absent the concept of gender normally is from scifi. Things that are perfectly normal in scifi include cybernetic enhancements, genetic engineering, etc., but god forbid anyone use technology to change their gender. And if technology really existed to instantly and effortlessly change gender, I suspect almost everyone would be doing it because that’s exactly what happens in social VR apps like VRChat.

Not sure if I made it clear enough, but I meant it became more obvious once the war started going badly and the weapons of mass destruction had not turned up.
