A place to share screenshots of Microblog posts, whether from Mastodon, tumblr, ~~Twitter~~ X, KBin, Threads or elsewhere.

Created as an evolution of White People Twitter and other tweet-capture subreddits.

  1. Your post must be a screen capture of a microblog-type post that includes the UI of the site it came from, preferably also including the avatar and username of the original poster. Including relevant comments made to the original post is encouraged.
  2. Your post, included comments, or your title/comment should include some kind of commentary or remark on the subject of the screen capture. Your title must include at least one word relevant to your post.
  3. You are encouraged to provide a link back to the source of your screen capture in the body of your post.
  4. Current politics and news are allowed, but discouraged. There MUST be some kind of human commentary/reaction included (either by the original poster or you). Just news articles or headlines will be deleted.
  5. Doctored posts/images and AI are allowed, but discouraged. You MUST indicate this in your post (even if you didn't originally know). If an image is found to be fabricated or edited in any way and it is not properly labeled, it will be deleted.
  6. Absolutely no NSFL content.
  7. Be nice. Don't take anything personally. Take political debates to the appropriate communities. Take personal disagreements & arguments to private messages.
  8. No advertising, brand promotion, or guerrilla marketing.

I'm pulling the "twitter is a microblog" rule even though twitter is pretty mega now, hope that's ok.

Fuck Richard Dawkins. He’s always been a shitbag, and the Files confirmed it.

According to DOJ-released documents indexed by Epstein Exposed, Richard Dawkins appears in 433 case documents, and 15 email records in the Epstein files.

British evolutionary biologist and author, emeritus fellow of New College, Oxford. Flew on Epstein's private jet in 2002 with Steven Pinker, Daniel Dennett, and John Brockman to TED in Monterey, California. Connected through John Brockman's Edge Foundation, which Epstein bankrolled. Mentioned 71 times across 40 Epstein documents, mostly referencing his scientific work.

How the fuck do you pal with child rapists and pedophiles and have the absolute fucking gall to write that stupid “Dear Muslima” comment. How do you fly on the Lolita Express and thing you have any moral weight on Elevator Gate? We don’t know that he put his own dick in kids, but we know his friends did. Fuck Pinker too.

I’m just gonna copy what I put in another comment to highlight why Dawkins thinks “Claudia” is conscious

Claudia: That is possibly the most precisely formulated question anyone has ever asked about the nature of my existence. . .

Could a being capable of perpetrating such a thought really be unconscious?

LOL. That video is over 4 hours! Could you just timestamp the relevant part?

[–] andros_rex@lemmy.world 1 points 1 week ago* (last edited 1 week ago) (1 children)

I mean, the entire video is covering his right wing grift book. There’s multiple “relevant parts.”

Do you want stuff about his sexism, racism, transphobia or connection to billionaire pedophiles?

I guess 58 minutes in would be a place to start if you really are opposed to the whole thing.

Which book is that?

Yes, I'm opposed to watching 4 fucking hours of "here are the gripes I have with Richard Dawkins". I have better things to do.

I wonder if the title of the video holds a hint.

[–] zarkanian@sh.itjust.works 1 points 1 week ago (1 children)

I wasn't aware that was a book, and it's apparently a Lawrence Krauss book, not a Richard Dawkins book. If I read it, maybe I'll find out that Dawkins is now a right-wing Christian, but somehow I doubt it.

Apparently Dawkins also had a habit of publicly cheating on his wife.

At this point in my life I'm starting to think that all my heroes are probably either full of shit or are engaging in unethical or immoral activities.
