1. The Greeks and others were conquered by Rome which then enforced Christianity leading to different forms of violence britannica.com/biography/Hypa
2. There are pagan Greeks today who trace back themselves back to ancient times.

Of course eliminating an idea/ideology is not the same thing as genocide. No one believes in Greek mythology anymore, and yet Greeks still exist.

“Fictions news outlets like Fox…”

Quite the statement here from the family of U.S. Capitol Police officer Brian Sicknick tonight:
"Every time the pain of that day seems to have ebbed a bit, organizations like Fox rip our wounds wide open again and we are frankly sick of it. Leave us the hell alone..."

Again: Healthcare workers are NOT mandated to report suspected self-managed abortion in ANY state. Even states with total abortion bans do NOT mandate reporting. NO ONE is a mandatory reporter of self-managed abortion. HHS has been very clear on this—it is a HIPAA violation.

Halli is an award winning designer whose company was acquired by Twitter.
Halli was born with muscular dystrophy in a working class family. He chose a higher tax rate for the sale to pay back into the Icelandic social system.
Today, Elon Musk publicly mocked and fired him.

Ok, following long threaded back and forth replies on Twitter is a bit complicated, so let me give you the highlights.
After no straight answers on my employment status for 9 days I asked @elonmusk to tell me if I had been laid off.
He sort of replied...

i just think its weird how we hold up these companies as perfectly optimized businesses, melding tech and humanity, but then as google, amazon, meta etc show they still have no real idea how many people to hire and fire tons of em like nothing

$META plans thousands more layoffs as soon as this week, according to a report.
“Obviously, shareholders wanted this for a while,” @michaelsantoli says, noting that “it’s actually a higher multiple than $GOOGL now. It’s been years since it was cheaper than Alphabet.”

Every time I start talking to my husband about how after I die I want to be cremated, have my ashes put into a gem, which is then forged into a Cursed Amulet, he gets too sad and worked up about the “me dying” part and won’t concentrate on my instructions about the Amulet. AITA?

Also, *you* may believe that I spoke too soon. But you have no way of proving that I spoke too soon independent of your own starting premise, which you're free to hold. But just because you believe something to be true doesn't make it so.

It's remarkable to me that there's a single sentient being who believes that DeSantis would be just as bad or even worse than Trump. And anyone who calls DeSantis a "fascist" should be run out of the room.

Georgia police Sunday arbitrarily arrested 35 citizens at a festival opposing the Cop City police training complex. Several were hit with bogus "domestic terrorism" charges in one of the worst abuses of US police power in decades.
The desperation increases as the protests grow.

I still think about how Tomb Raider's Lara Croft was Lara Cruz for most of the development.
She's inspired by mixed-race singer/rapper "Neneh Cherry", but was represented as Afro Latina. They changed her to Lara Croft from UK last minute as they feared audiences weren't ready..

This headline is as disgusting as her speech.
She says people are dying then proceeds to attack, in both identity and character ( and in terms of financial costs), those that are dying. Pure dehumanization.

Eyes up for Star Trek Discovery. It gave us our modern Star Trek renaissance. It is imperfect, but it was also beautiful in its imperfection. It also reflects more then any other Trek a love of difference & diversity. Sad to see it end but excited to see what it has left to say.

Seeing trans people go on about how no one should ever do DIY hormones because they’re “horribly unsafe” and “illegal” in a time when access to basic trans care is being systemically attacked and banned is making me tear out my hair and gnash my teeth.

"Transgenderism must be eradicated from public life" vs. "transgender people must be eradicated" is a meaningless distinction to the historically literate. Nazis very specifically began excluding German Jews from public life years before the first extermination camp.

if you were a white straight content creator in the ‘00s you likely (with very few exceptions) engaged in casual racism and/or light transphobia because it was indeed a different time. the correct response to people finding this stuff ISN’T “so the mob has finally come for me…”
