i see a tiktok of a cat speaking english and im like “oh that’s silly, he’s pretending to talk” but i see a tiktok of a cat speaking arabic im like “that cat is talking”
it’s so funny to name the chimp you’re teaching to talk after a guy who famously doesn’t think you can teach apes to talk and then your research is so bad it proves him right and destroys the field of ape language research forever
A student who said they identify as a transgender man asked Virginia Gov. Glenn Youngkin during a CNN town hall if he believes high school girls would “feel comfortable sharing a restroom with me.”
Here’s what the governor said.
1. Go to
2. Enter "Palestine"
3. Get an error because Coca Cola thinks Palestine is offensive.
4. Enter "Israel"
5. Get no error because Coca Cola thinks Israel is not offensive.
What's up

the next day, his house was raided by police for a tweet he deleted that was seen by 10 people when it was up, one of whom was an FBI agent.
he was just convicted and is looking at 5 years in federal prison
notable that she appeals to them as coworkers because her costar’s sister is trans. you didn’t appreciate your coworkers talking shit about you? he probably didn’t appreciate you talking shit about his family.

part of the reason you aren’t supposed to talk to cops without a lawyer present is because this is how they interpret things. if you refer to a missing person as a murder victim they will go “ah how did you know they were murdered”
It is 1848. A student movement with good intentions has gone too far.
It is 1968. A student movement with good intentions has gone too far.
It is 2024. A student movement with good intentions has gone too far.
in fairness the nim research wasn’t necessarily bad it was just extremely unsuccessful. arguably it was the most scientifically sound ape language research because it accurately concluded that it was a total failure.
“marx failed to consider that sometimes the proletariat supports bad things” is such a funny line to take here. no he didn’t. he very famously did consider that.
not an arabic expert but approximate translation here
man: peace be upon you
cat: and peace be upon you
man: (surprised noise)…how are you
cat: praise be to god
How is this not basic misogyny? Saying a woman who is famous for her contribution to the field of science must have been born male is just woman-hate, pure and simple.
@Madam_Riddles
as a trans person I have long forgiven Scott. He’s not anti-lgbt, and was merely just supporting the Republican Party for different reasons.
i’m much more impressed a cat speaking arabic too because i speak english that’s not that impressive but i don’t speak arabic so the cat is beating me there
but to be even more fair it was also bad research they didn’t listen to the actual ASL users on their staff. “most scientifically sound ape language research” is a low bar
roald dahl was also a famous racist and antisemite so maybe you should be a bit more critical when he says that moral goodness is tied to your appearance
the tweet has left my audience and now people are accusing me of stealing it lol. i am not the first person to say this it’s just nice and i wanted to tell people about it
@wraithbelle
the old ones were identical except for the colors which made them really hard to tell apart for certain types of color blindness. the new ones have different shapes so even if you can’t tell them apart by color you can still distinguish which is which.
also almost all of these things are optional and the ones that aren’t are usually for ulterior purposes eg he helps with the feminist rally because he is trying to ingratiate himself to some wealthy families so he can rob them
this is extremely common in nuclear apocalypse stories. in A Canticle for Leibowitz they read an account of the flame deluge and the person who started the nuclear war is just called Prince Name because the one responsible was not just one leader, but all of them
also for the record the guy who “legally owned slaves one time” has a torture basement in his house and specifically has fond memories of slave catching and torture he did
some people have asked how this is a failure, so think of it like this: any animal, when trained to do so, can learn that performing an action gets them a reward. that’s not the same as language. nim asking for an orange is like my dog sitting to get a treat.
the tweet has left its intended audience and there are a lot of bad faith interpretations so i suppose i will explain:
many trans women have bangs and round glasses and there is a stereotype that trans women are computer programmers. that’s it. that’s the whole joke.
nim, koko, kanzi, and all the other supposed talking apes didn’t use language like people use language. they learned that they could get things they wanted by doing certain tasks, which is smart, but it’s not language
there’s a great talk about this on youtube and the example the lawyer uses is a newspaper referring to murders as “gang style killings” and the suspect saying “i don’t own a gun” because technically the news never said a gun, it was left up to interpretation
the point is not that i actually believe margaret hamilton was secretly trans or that she’s too masculine or unattractive, nor is it that cis women can’t be smart scientists. she is a computer programmer with bangs and round-frame glasses.
@TheCarrotSlice
The end result of TERF’s obsession with being able to clock trans women is cis women being harassed for things like body hair, short hair, being too tall, etc
real cultural victory for rap music that it’s managed to pretty much escape this phrase over the past few years to the point that people in the replies have seemingly never heard this expression before
@Glinner
graham you’re back! you got suspended last time we spoke. unfortunately i don’t allow free promotion in my replies so it’ll be $8 if you want to be unhidden. it’s not personal it’s just business.
Also I’m not an authority on like antisemitism or anything but it makes me very uncomfortable that almost every post like this specifically mentions that she’s Jewish.
