#CRT
In other words, America has been learning #alternativefacts for a very long time now. For what it's worth, yes I caused trouble in high school, got poor grades because I don't give a fuck about "Gatsby" or "Sir Gawain and the Green Knight," but then to everyone's fucking surprise (including my own) I was one of two people who nailed the AP History Exam. I wrote the truth about Native Genocide and I guess I was the only one with any clue that it happened. #criticalracetheory #genocide #laos #crt
In US high schools, in this current millennium, I was taught that the Civil War was a war for "states rights" and that the North was "taxing the south for no reason." We learned that Manifest Destiny was "ordained by God" and that "nobody was really living out there anyway so it needed to happen." That is how we learned about #genocide #laos #crt #criticalracetheory
The problem is that even though the US bombed Laos more than any other country in history, only about 2/3rds of the bombs went off on impact. So every year, bombs are still going off, maiming and killing children. This happens even today, fifty fucking years later. #laos #crt #criticalracetheory
I have no idea what the hell a Gatsby is or what's so great about it. This is the kind of trash they made people read in public school instead of real facts, like learning about how America bombed Laos more than any other country in the history of mankind, for no reason, no declaration of war, just a bunch of "hunches." #laos #crt #criticalracetheory

#Woke is #MAGA speak for the n-word they can't say anymore.
Evidence:
1. Ask them to define it and they can't / won't.
2. You can plug in the n-word almost any time they use it and it makes perfect sense:
• "#CRT is woke history."
• "#Juneteenth is a woke holiday."
• "#Wokeness needs to be eradicated."
• "#Immigration is woke."
3. There are a few exceptions where instead of the #nWord, it means the F-word.
• "#Pride is woke."
• "Disney/Target are woke companies."
Just as his presidential campaign launch had a "rapid unscheduled disassembly” on Twitter, my Desantis cartoon appeared in the latest issue of The Nation. I hope somebody showed it to him.

Moms for Liberty, a nonprofit claiming to advocate for “parental rights,” appears to be using parents as pawns to advance a far-right agenda. The group advocates to strip districts of protective COVID-19 measures and modify classroom curriculum to exclude the teaching of “critical race theory” (CRT) and sex education, all in the name of “parental rights.” #MomsForLiberty #GOPTerrorism #GOPBookBans #CRT #VoteBlueIfYouWantToLive

The reason Republicans go after trans people, CRT, etc is they have professionals who have done polling & focus groups & examined the psychology telling them there are effective targets.
As with everything they do, the goal is to get the public to move power to them so they can use that power to benefit their benefactors.
Tax cuts, get kill regulations that protect the public but impede profits, privatize public goods, etc.
This is why they do it.
This, class, is the good old days that #Republicans want back.
This is why they want to carry #guns in public places, because they enjoy killing people and think they have every right to execute anyone they don't like, for any reason.

Notice here there's no "a fetus is a person with rights" nonsense going on, either.
Anyone who isn't a white christian has no rights as far as they're concerned, and aren't human, either.

This month's Ten Pence Arcade featured game is Super Hang-On from #Sega in 1987.
The ride-on cabinet was pretty tempting and I often played it in the wild back in the day.
I'm playing the challenge on the #misterfpga arcade core via the #mistercade. Playing with the joystick is sub-optimal but it's a great game.
Back in the 90s, I played it most on the #amiga version which, like the #megadrive, was excellent. The Amiga version had mouse control as an option which simulated the analog handlebars really well, despite the cognitive dissonance.
Also, #CRT FTW!

Alright #retrocomputing #nerds I come to you again with a #technical question.
I've got a #raspberrypi hooked up to an old #crt monitor. After messing with the #hdmi settings in the config.txt, the boot screen and the rainbow screen show up as expected. However, once it tries to load the command line, the screen freaks. The closest it gets to "working" is with all the default values, but as you can see the screen is torn and shown in triplicate.
Any ideas, friends?
Here's my latest piece for Bylines, on why Kemi Badenoch's recent meeting with Ron DeSantis has worried the LGBTQ+ community https://bylines.scot/rights-and-freedoms/lgbtq-peoples-fears-grow-as-kemi-badenoch-meets-ron-desantis/ #lgbtq #abortion #CRT #Florida
I forget if I asked Fedi for help with this in the past and if I did I completely forgot everything about it so it might as well be a new question.
I have a Sony Trinitron CRT that has a really bad green bleed at the bottom. Is there anything I can do to remedy this as someone who does not know how to open a CRT up without electrocuting themselves?
I finally also grabbed the model number which I've been meaning to do for a while. Would really love to not have to ask reddit. Boosts welcome, I know a lot of people here work on these kinds of things.

According to #CriticalRaceTheory, racism is normal.
It is embedded in our everyday lives and lurks within everyday practices and cultural behaviour patterns. It is not just about overt hostility by extremists.
It sustains white supremacy and is often unnoticed by well-intentioned individuals.
I have this really odd issue with my #crt i have my systems hooke dup with rgbs (show ps2 inn this case) and that goes through an #extron crosspoint. I send it to my #ossc no issues. Send it to my crt. And I omly get signal for a second when I switch to the input as show inn the video. I am just really confused was to why this is.
Also. I am using a #scart inout on the back of the crt.

The thing about banning talk of "systemic racism" is that, instead of systems, we'll instead have to focus on the individual bigots and the racist bloodlust which permeates this country in abundance.
#LlanoCounty [#Texas] will convene to discuss whether to cease operations of the entire library system rather than comply with a court ruling "to end the [#LGBT and #CRT] literary witch hunt".
US #federal #judge Robert Pitman in Austin ruled that Llano county commissioners violated the constitution by #banning a dozen #books - mostly #children’s titles with #LGBTQ & #race-related themes - and orders them to put these books back in circulation in the libraries.

Worth reading: 👉 A Critical Race Theory Analysis of Critical Race Theory Bans | by @CarolineMalaCorbin, Irvine Law Review (forthcoming). “After providing a #primer on #CriticalRaceTheory, Part I explains how the state bans profoundly misunderstand #CRT…Part II then examines these bans through a critical race theory lens. It…demonstrates how the laws’ ignorance of CRT and of the role race plays in the United States reflect #WhitePrivilege…” SSRN https://papers.ssrn.com/sol3/papers.cfm?abstract_id=4409726
It's amazing how conservative politicians who claim systemic institutionalized racism is just leftist propaganda will then openly and joyfully participate in blatant systemic institutionalized racism. I guess nothing should surprise me anymore.
NEW LEGAL ARTICLE: I have a new paper! Please check it out!
A Critical Race Theory Analysis of Critical Race Theory Bans https://papers.ssrn.com/sol3/papers.cfm?abstract_id=4409726
It applies a CRT analysis to CRT bans, finding that the bans embody white privilege & especially its companion, white fragility....Ultimately, CRT bans prevents examintaion of the structural issues that critical race theory aims to uncover. It is a perfect vicious circle.

If you aren't following *Shannon Mattern* you may well be missing giant chunks of time re-examined, multi-disciplinary critical thinking, and a kind of hyper-sublime curiosity summoning new found critical epiphanies.
She explores historical medias, digital overlays onto archeology and social intersections that challenge our modern cultural reliance on siloed singular discipline knowledge bodies.
I just boosted one of her posts. Reflexively. Without examining it. It had the vibe. Upon examination I got lost in the rabbit hole. Wound up in an adjacent article on the same site regarding architecture and climate.
"Both material and social-cultural, both product and agent, architecture and climate therefore also have an opportunity to create alternative material and social-cultural configurations that nurture a different set of forces and functions. If architecture is climate, then climate breakdown is inherently accompanied by an architecture breakdown as well. Responding to the urgent need for reinvention in the way we understand, practice, and teach architecture demands an engagement with activism, politics, and education. Architecture must become relational, subjective, and interconnected; both planetarily bound and supported; inclusive beyond the human; caring, curious, and brave."
Nature, design, climate and consilience are here under the rubric of architecture.
Enjoy.
