i feel so bad for nikola tesla like imagine spending years beefing with a guy who has conned the public into believing he’s some sort of supergenius when in reality it’s his overworked employees developing all of his world-changing inventions and you end up dying broke and starving and alone and then 100 years later another guy cons the public into believing he’s some sort of supergenius when in reality it’s his overworked employees developing all of his world-changing inventions and he’s doing it all IN YOUR NAME. he must be rolling in his grave like a fucking rotisserie chicken
His ghost is setting those cars on fire actually
I hadn’t really considered “the agnostic demigod of electromagnetism is the reason Musk’s companies fail” before, but I like the concept.
To anyone wondering if it’s worth it to tear down fascist posters or whatever. I spent a few months last year engaged in silent battle with another student at my school who was putting anti trans stickers up everywhere. I had it down to a system where every night I would walk the five block radius they went up in, and tear down all the ones I could reach, and use a stick to put duct tape over the others. Like, within hours of the stickers going up, I would have already purged the whole zone. I knew the basic schedule of whoever put them up based on when and where the stickers appeared. I probably could have found them in person if I’d wanted to. And I told all my classmates and friends what the stickers looked like and got them to rip them down too. And after a few months of this, the stickers slowed, and then stopped forever.
My point is, a lot of this fashy or right wing stuff is one local weirdo. And if you pay attention, and do a little light organizing with your friends, you can basically make their efforts into a giant sisyphisean exercise in misery. You control your streets!
Btw for those of you who aren’t in the know, we doctors here in the US just got a nice little note from the CDC this past week basically saying anyone testing positive flu A should have reflex testing to H5N1 (bird flu). They know it’s in the population. This quadruple season of COVID, Flu, RSV and Norovirus is hitting very hard and now the ICUs are filling up with flu patients but guess. what. administration. Just stopped all external communications?! Girls. Wear a fucking mask. Bird flu is likely in the population and the current US government does not give a shit and wants to watch us all die.
