Honestly if you're even aware that SA is a place that exists then there's a pretty reasonable chance that you're perfectly capable of finding quick and easy answers to 101 level poo poo. Being a patronising gently caress and treating trans people as inherently exotic and unknowable is a super mega ultra bad look, buddy.

From what I understand they all touched together a novelty lamp shaped like a representation of the Earth to turn it on; and it was in the middle of something that supposedly is an anti-terrorist propaganda center or something. The desired symbol was one of a world united in a fight against terrorism, I presume. Instead it ended up looking like a weird occult ritual by a bunch of power-hungry despots in a Bond villain base.

It's really really hard for me to believe that that's not the image they were aiming for, also concerning the design of the room itself.



Unless this picture is a fake or touched up or something. I have seen major news sites comment about the orb touching picture but not this one.

Holy poo poo. I actually found a counter-example to "every long-running Political Cartoonist went utterly creatively bankrupt in the 21st century". Probably because Fink is not primarily a political cartoonist.

Not saying that it's an exceptionally detailed or interesting art-style, but compared to the sterile poser abominations he'd put out in the 2000's...

I had to look it up too because it as weirding me out. Apparently the orb is a globe and that was all part of some opening for the Global Center for Combating Extremist Ideology, which is probably I assume a think tank designed to destroy capitalism.

I agree with others saying the location being filmed is most likely either 1. a meaningless set put together for the event or 2. a (massively overbuilt, because saudi arabia) electronic propaganda center.

Hi, you're being an rear end in a top hat. Many people don't even know how to find 101 stuff that's accurate and up to date (in part because trans discourse moves really fast) and access to a cellphone is not inherently tied with research skills. Assuming that everyone has the educational tools to learn about a complex issue with many different sides and active and deliberate deception going on by the anti trans people. This applies to everyone that jumped down a poster's rear end for asking something that I wish I was asked more in person, compared to 'what are you?'.

lmao yeah nah I actually don't think "well, hmm. transphobia exists, and also being trans is Just So Complicated for Normal People!!!" is a valid excuse for people choosing to take the time to accuse others of Jumping Up Down Their Throat rear end instead of taking thirty seconds to take an incredibly brief look at the already linked twitter profile of the person being discussed

It’s ransomware that attacked computers around the globe last week. The malware was loaded onto networks through certain versions of Windows. (Microsoft blames the NSA.) It then encrypts your system and demands ransom to unlock your computer. Three hundred dollars payable in bitcoin.

According to Wired WannaCry can tell when it’s being detected and go dormant. Later, when when you least expect it, it comes back. Kind of like shingles for computers.

The feds want software companies to leave backdoors on computers to make it easier to for them snoop around. Unfortunately, bad guys can get in through the back door too.
