MAGICAL GIRL SUPERMAN ✨ 🪄

My adventures with Superman "Zero day (2)"

I’ve had Sailor Moon on in the background all week while I work, so when I saw Clark’s magical girl transformation on My Adventures With Superman I was like, ‘yep, time for a quick style mashup.’ XD

9/11 has been funny for a long time. the vast difference between the government telling you that you should cry about a couple thousand americans dying for 20 years as if it’s the biggest tragedy in human history and as if they actually care about human life and then proceeding to show a sociopathic disregard for human life at best and insatiable bloodthirst at worst cannot be squared away.

9/11 isn’t about human beings dying. the reason why the government shoves it in our face every single year and tells us to care is because of what they want it to represent, which is an attack on “america”, and they want to use that to justify wholesale slaughter of innocents overseas and perpetual imperial empire. 9/11 is a quasi-fascist myth about national trauma.

and now we live in a pandemic, where the same number of people who died on 9/11 die every single day because of the negligence and greed of the very same government who tells us to cry about it, and there is no reconciliation. no attempt made to explain this. there is an active movement to downplay it or to redirect blame to china, once again fueling our imperial ambitions.

so it is safe to say now that 9/11 is a fucking farce. I don’t even know how they’re going to be able to sell that narrative anymore because they’ve completely shown their ass. you officially have permission from the government to never ever have to give a shit about 9/11 ever again. enjoy.

Great friends of mine, Joy and Court, recently lost their father. If you can please contribute or boost this, to help with funeral expenses. It would mean so so much. Thank you ❤️ https://www.gofundme.com/f/funeral-expenses-for-tom-coleman?utm_source=customer&utm_medium=copy_link&utm_campaign=p_cf+share-flow-1

A new bill proposed in the Minnesota Legislature would make anyone convicted of a crime at a protest ineligible for student loans and many other forms of state financial aid.

The bill, authored by Sen. David Osmek (R- Mound), states that “A person convicted of a criminal offense related to the person’s illegal conduct at a protest, demonstration, rally, civil unrest, or march is ineligible for any type of state loan, grant, or assistance, including but not limited to college student loans and grants …”

Other forms of state financial aid, including food stamps, rent assistance and unemployment benefits, are also in the bill.

Some University of Minnesota students are currently awaiting their court date after being arrested for protesting on highway I-94 last November.

Thousands of college students from several universities across the Twin Cities have participated in protests against police brutality, following the police killing of George Floyd in May 2020. Those protests have not lost much momentum over the past year, and key messages have included issues ranging from police brutality to climate change and voting rights.

After a Brooklyn Center police officer killed 20-year-old Daunte Wright last Sunday, more protests have rocked Brooklyn Center. Law enforcement made several arrests of Twin Cities-area students. Lawmakers are expected to pass any new legislation as early as May of this year.

Vishapakar ‘Վիշապաքար’ on Mount Aragats

Vishapakars are dotted all across Armenia and the name translates to Dragon stone. It is the Armenian name for the Menhir which are also found in Scottland, Ireland, France, England and other European countries. Mostly where there has been a Celtic presence.

They are also spread across the historical provinces of Armenia such as Javakhk, Tayk, Taron, Van and so forth. the Vishapakars are tall cigar shaped megaliths and can usualy be found high on mountains near rivers and lakes, Said to be a warning to travels of the dragons that may be lurking nearby the water. The oldest of these type of Vishapakars are from around second millennium BC and give an incredible insight of the Armenian prehistoric tribes. Many of them are carved as a fish although having a bulls head and feet carved into them, sometimes there is a stream of water flowing from the bulls mouth.

There are many different theories about the meanings of Vishapakars. One theory holds that these monuments represent mythological dragons gaurding the water (B. Piotrovski) Other theories trace back the megagaliths to Astghik, the Armenian Goddess of fertility, love and also water sources and springs. (M. Abeghian)  Another theory says it comes from a shared Indo-European legend. It speaks about the God of thunder and his foe the serpent. The victory of the Thunder God results in the origination of the cosmic waters (rain, seas, rivers) The Dragon Stones have certain aspects that may be related to this. The huge fish would represent the water serpent. The bull is the symbol for the thunder God in many cultures such as the Hurrian, Hittite, Greek and Armenian. The wavy lines below the bull’s head may be interpreted as rainy waters triggered by the battle between the god and the serpent. Armenian paganism included a great deal of serpents and dragons, usualy depicted as evil creatures. One example is a legend talks about how Satenik, who was the wife of Artaxias I King of Armenia in 190 BC, left Artaxias for Argavan, a descendant of a race of dragons.

Apple propaganda notwithstanding, the reason tower PCs are big isn’t because they’re outdated. The reason tower PCs are so bulky is because they’re designed to be user serviceable. The case has lots of open space so your big, meaty hands can easily access all of the components, and everything is secured with friction-fit tabs and standard machine screws to minimise the need for specialised tools. A properly laid out tower PC is fully serviceable with a single Phillips-head screwdriver and no greater manual skill than your average Lego playset – heck, for some of the more modern case layouts you don’t even need the screwdriver, unless you’re performing major surgery like a full motherboard replacement.

Like, think about who benefits from convincing you that a fully modular computing device that can be serviced and repaired with your bare hands and minimal technical skill is unfashionable.
