>You are supposed to start teaching your children how to read by age 3. The problem is, by the time a black child turns 2 and their "genes" start kicking in full throttle, their parent abandons them because they dont like what they see.

>I see people will ignore the largest elephant in the room. By the time you are asking for help from organizations, its too late. Organizations can be supplements NOT saviors or people who clean up after someones mess.

Is Lipstick Alley the new stormfront?

Another day, another MTG and Warhammer controversy. Today's episode actually begins with some YouTuber on a one man crusade to destroy Kotaku. Some jurnalist took issue with this and the YouTuber started making fun of her. In a reasonable escalation of the situation, the jurno tracks down the Tuber's wife and starts DMing her. They go back and forth slinging shit at each other and of course the j*urnaloid can't help but claim harassment. This is where the story proper begins:

Paul Scott Canavan, a MtG and Warhammer artist tweets the following:

This is absolutely the play - we should be doing this with all these weird creeps. Track down their significant others and mothers and string them up.

Surely, this was posted in good faith. Unfortunately, bigot chuds took issues with his tweet and Paul doubled down until bravely private his Twitter and Instagram.

The following threads have some good redditard discussion on it. /r/freemagic will likely go on a campaign to get him fired, and even /r/mtg seems to largely denounce his behavior.

Some choice comments:

Guess this guy has never heard of a slippery slope.

What a loser.

He meant proverbially. Like held accountable.

His wording was flagrant. But I do t think he actually meant to hang people.

It's hyperbole I believe.

It's another episode of the words we say don't mean what they mean!

I am not one for cruxifying people for their opinions, but holy shit threatening peoples family because they don't agree with this jerk offs opinion and ideology is a new fricking low.

That's not what happened here, though. If you look at the context, what he was saying is that if someone is harassing women online their actions should be shown to the women in their life.

He's not saying kill the families of online trolls, the title of this post is really misleading.

"Track down their significant others and mothers and string them up.”

That is verbatim what his tweet said. How is the title misleading?

Several other redditards crawl out of the woodwork to explain how Paul is defending women, so his calls for killing are good, actually.

I believe unfortunately he has a history of sketchy behaviour. He is the one who posted sales of his artist proof cards and then ghosted people and scammed them out of some money.

Hmm, maybe this guy is based after all…

I think you are perpetuating a bad faith interpretation of a poorly worded tweet.

“Bad Faith! Bad Faith! Bad Faith!” say the line, redditor!

Anyways, place your bets on whether or not this brave woman defender will keep his role as a Magic and Warhammer artist. Personally, I hope he gets fired because he already seems like a schizo. Losing his job would likely make him even more deranged.

Arrested cause they were 15 and older (disgusting hags). VERRRRY SHAMEFURR!

He paid 30000 yen to the great grandma (17) and 15k to granny (15) out of curiosity, what is that in Reichsmark?

MINOL PLOSTUTUTION FOR LEASONABLE LATE?

The economy of the rising sun is really in the dumps folx. Sad!

May 8, 2024, New York Times

In a medical anomaly that has stunned both medical professionals and the public alike, doctors have discovered a dead worm in the brain of Brianna Wu, a prominent software engineer and political activist.

Wu, known for her work in the tech industry and her advocacy on issues related to online harassment, sought medical attention after experiencing a series of unusual neurological symptoms. These symptoms included severe headaches, confusion, and seizures. Initial tests, including MRI and CT scans, failed to reveal the underlying cause of her distress.

The breakthrough came during an exploratory surgery performed by a team of neurosurgeons at Massachusetts General Hospital. Dr. Samantha Hayes, the lead neurosurgeon on the case, described the discovery as "unprecedented and astonishing."

"We were not expecting to find a parasitic infection, especially not a worm," Dr. Hayes said in a press conference. "This is an extremely rare occurrence, and it underscores the importance of thorough investigation when patients present with unexplained neurological symptoms."

The worm, identified as a larval stage of Taenia solium, commonly known as the pork tapeworm, is known to cause a condition called neurocysticercosis. This parasitic infection occurs when the larvae invade the brain, leading to a variety of neurological issues. While neurocysticercosis is more common in regions with poor sanitation and where pork is a dietary staple, it is exceedingly rare in the United States.

Wu's case has sparked concern and curiosity within the medical community. Dr. Margaret Chin, an infectious disease specialist, explained the potential pathways for such an infection. "In rare cases, individuals can ingest the eggs of the tapeworm through contaminated food or water. These eggs then travel through the bloodstream and can lodge in various tissues, including the brain," Dr. Chin noted.

Following the surgery, Wu is reported to be in stable condition and recovering well. In a statement released through her spokesperson, she expressed gratitude for the medical team's expertise and the support she has received from her family and friends. "This has been a harrowing experience, but I am relieved to be on the path to recovery," Wu said. "I hope that my case can raise awareness about the importance of seeking medical attention for persistent and unexplained health issues."

The discovery has also prompted discussions about public health and the need for vigilance in food safety practices. Experts emphasize that while such infections are rare, proper hygiene and food preparation methods are crucial in preventing parasitic diseases.

As Brianna Wu continues her recovery, her experience serves as a reminder of the unpredictable nature of medical science and the resilience of the human spirit in the face of extraordinary challenges.

Lots of great comment threads under it too, pure

Lmao, most of the posts are just ugly benches. Also what are they so angry about? Would these people want homeless bums sleeping in front of their shops?

I don't see the problem with these benches inherently, other than them being anti-homeless in some facets

NOOO YOU CAN'T DO THAT TO THE POOR HOMELESSERINOS

This movie is about two lesbian[1] lovers who mow down some sleazy dudes and are not necessarily correct for doing so. It is delightfully amoral. The protagonists don't deserve to win, they don't deserve each other, they don't deserve anyone. Their relationship will probably end badly in two weeks. And yet I root for them. I revel in their successes and feel anxiety at their failures. It might be the most distilled love story I've ever seen - no outside justification is offered to bolster the case for their romance. They're not perfect for each other, no one proves themselves, they're not even anti-heroes who are too badass to not bang. There is no ideological frame for their subjective experience. Even the aesthetic fails to offer any support. The violence is in a horrific( and occasionally surreal) style rather than Tarantino cool. The setting and outfits are grimy and realist. This movie is willing to rest entirely on its( not necessarily likable or just) emotional core. I appreciate that.
