@skribe In their defense, William Bligh must have been a bit of a cunt. Previously as captain of the *Bounty* his crew had got so sick of him they forced him to row six and a half thousand kilometers home, and after that another crew on the *Director* also mutinied. As a result he was, of course, elected a Fellow of the Royal Society for distinguished services in navigation, botany, etc. #FailingUpwards #WhiteDudes

First spot is 1:08 - so I gotta believe it is mostly digital, but the message is on point and the narration has a midwestern accent, so I am gonna give it a 10/10

How 'White Dudes' May Reshape Manhood This Election - Ms. Magazine

That white men organized—as white, male demographic—is among the many notable shifts in the 2024 presidential campaign. Before more than 190,000 men joined a “White Dudes for Harris” call on July 29, the common wisdom in the media suggests that most white men support extreme right causes and candidates. Not so fast. An unintended consequence of White Dudes for Harris is that white men can now walk through a portal where our voices articulating an egalitarian vision of manhood can be heard. White Dudes is inadvertently helping us put cracks in our glass ceiling.

Pete Buttigieg used 1 word to tell 190,000 "white dudes" why to support Kamala Harris - LGBTQ Nation

The gay transportation secretary said it's important to focus not on only on what Democrats stand against, but what they stand for.

LGBTQ Nation

Attendees expressed enthusiasm & excitement for the campaign — while also joking about the lack of diversity on the call. “What a variety of Whiteness we have here … it’s like a rainbow of beige!” actor Bradley Whitford of #TheWestWing told the group. IL Gov #JBPritzker teased that a #WhiteDudes gathering “doesn’t usually sound like something I would join, but this is a terrific cause.”

I could see so many ways the White Dudes For Harris thing could go way wrong. We tend to fuck these kinds of things up.

But so far it’s been super wholesome.

$3.5m raised! Let’s do it!

Men especially #whitedudes seem particularly susceptible to conceit of so-called #AI. A bunch of guys hollering “It’s aliiiiiiiiiiive!” whenever they send ChatGPT-generated #emails because some other guys programmed a powerful #autocorrect #software to issue results of #math calculations in first person. Whether they’re hollering out of terror or excitement, both reactions assume same posture, defaulting to presumption that “AI” must either be conquered or capitulated to. https://www.bespacific.com/the-unbearable-white-maleness-of-ai/

Wyoming’s GOP governor signs law banning abortion pills — The Washington Post

Gov. Mark Gordon signed the first such U.S. law, which is likely to be challenged in court. Penalties include up to six months’ imprisonment and a fine.

@jmjm @evacide
Ok.

Fair enough.

#WhiteDudes, wear Zorro masks so those we are protecting have no one they could be obligated to.

And those we protect them from have everyone to fear because "We are #Anonymous. You cannot expect us. You cannot defend against us. #WeAreLegion."

It's all about #Solidarity.

Why? Doesn't matter.

Who? Doesn't matter.

It's against one of us?!?
Fall in. Orders are forthcoming. #WeWillNotBeDivided
