Pink Floyd went woke
@redsad omg. please tell me this is real. lol

@chris

Dark side was released in 73 so this would already be 3 years old even it's true, but who knows...

@redsad

@alessandro @chris @redsad Yes it was 3 years ago and this was one of the graphics included in the packaging.

@redsad reminds me of this I re-posted last week

may have cost me a friend

be warned, its very triggering

@normjess Did it cost you a friend? Or just reveal a hidden enemy?

@solitha it might have been another post saying to not get triggered by feminists, vegans and trans people

he does not like vegans

perhaps they killed his parents or something 

@normjess So maybe not a hidden enemy, unless you're vegan... but still seems like less than a friend 🙃

@solitha my medical condition makes being vegan difficult, but I do eat a low meat diet, do what I can

I live in the countryside, my options for meatspace friends is limited

this guy has always treated me right, but his politics suck

he is at best a centrist who sees bad people on both sides, and at worst culturally right wing thanks to the slop on social media

my brother is worse, far right, sigh

@normjess I understand. I escaped from conservatism, but my remaining family still inhabit that world, except maybe one nephew.

Grateful for a spouse and in-laws anchored more in rationality.

@solitha yeah, progressive people don't stick around here very long

I think that's why I'm on here 

@normjess @redsad
**is triggered**
Crap, look at all those countries where I can't go without facing prosecution or persecution...
Oh, wait...

@mancavgeek @redsad
I think you can probably go to Saudi Arabia and speak loudly, negatively, publicly about the Royals and the Regime if you want to be murdered

but you won't be thrown in the back of a police van for simply being heterosexual

@normjess @redsad This is why I have no interest in going to Saudi, or most of the other Gulf States - I don't have any problems with their right to worship whomever or however they want, but I wouldn't be able to be quiet about the almost constant stream of human rights abuses and corruption, and even being a cis-het white British man wouldn't save me from being bundled into the back of a van.
Funnily enough, the US has been added to that list of places I don't want to go, for exactly the same reason.
The fact that the Gulf States and the US both claim to be based on certain religious traditions, but don't exactly illustrate the finer qualities of those religions is something that has to be seen to be believed.
And if Reform gets into power here in the UK, I will be trying to get out of here as well, for exactly those reasons.

@mancavgeek @redsad
oh, same, I would never go to the US now that I'm (aware that I'm) bi-gender-fluid

I'm scared enough about getting bottled to death in the UK by one of Farage's fan-boys

in the US it'll be a bullet in the back, maybe not even intended for me

I am kind of stuck in the UK though due to some medical treatments

if Reform win I'll have to go Home Alone on my fellow country-people

@redsad We truly live in the dumbest timeline.
@redsad Historic document : Isaac Newton discovering wokism.
@orange_lux @redsad i love how the fella on the right looks like he's scared af of the rainbow 😂
@isaactly_s @redsad he's probably going to tweet about Pink Floyd going woke.
@orange_lux @redsad Next to that illustration in my highschool physics textbook I wrote "GAY LASER" or something similar. It was very awkward when I had to lend a textbook to some classmates who forgot theirs🤣
@leguinian_utopia @redsad I wonder if the classmate is still heterosexual.
@orange_lux @redsad I assume those two girls are, going by what little I knew about them, so the gay laser was ineffectual 
@leguinian_utopia @redsad that's a sad day for science, then.
@orange_lux Obviously not. Hasn't right-wing media taught you anything? Everyone knows that exposure to gay makes you gay.
@leguinian_utopia Just tell them it was already in there. There's no way they can prove otherwise, unless you have sufficiently distinctive handwriting.
@wesdym Pfffft fair but this happened yeaaaaars ago🤣

@orange_lux @redsad

This would actually explain all the anti-science rhetoric  

They wouldn't believe in gravity even if it hit them in the head... with an apple... 

@orange_lux
We all know this is Roger Taylor being shocked at Brian May's discovery of Freddie Mercury.
@redsad
@orange_lux
Excellent ! 👌👏👏
@redsad
@redsad impressive given that roger waters isn't that far off from being a maga dip shit himself
@mancube @redsad isnt far off? hes all in.

@mancube @redsad Is he? He gets some stuff right:

https://www.distractify.com/p/roger-waters-politics

And some stuff wrong, although I need to understand if people calling him a "Putin apologist" is in the same vein as people calling him antisemitic for opposing the genocide in Gaza. I will look for more detail.

Inside Roger Waters’s Politics — Why His Views Spark So Much Controversy

Roger Waters, who hails from the United Kingdom, is widely seen as a socialist who advocates for causes that are tied to human rights.

@redsad Can't believe they've done this, they should be put in prism.
@woe2you @redsad As long as it's a light sentence.

@JSCybersec @woe2you @redsad

It's a minor diffraction. This band should split.

@woe2you @redsad That’s a joke you only get to use once, probably.
@redsad are they that Pink Floyd's illiterate or do they have a kind of Rainbow Derangement Syndrom? Do they scream at Rainsbows in the sky also?
@FrancoisPrague yes, yes and yes
@redsad Agreed. Jon Anderson is the better singer anyway.
@FrancoisPrague
@redsad
Those critics need to lighten up...
@redsad people who only saw The Wall to watch Bob Geldof go nazi.
@redsad @drehumdiebolzen You really want to grab and shake them all.
@dentaku you cant grab and shake bots, I suspect… @redsad
@drehumdiebolzen @dentaku @redsad well, that post is about 3 years old. So, how old do bots get, usually? (And how old is that in human years, approximately?)
@redsad A pack of Internet wolves thought they smelled blood and attacked. I suspect none of them ever had a word to say about Pink Floyd. They just saw a rainbow and started abusing people about it.
@redsad little does this fella knowz the representstion is actually quite inequal

@redsad
Irrelevant facts:
Newton was also an Alchemist & thought 7 was of special significance (Music of the Spheres?), so arbitrarily names or picked 7 colours for the rainbow or light split by a prism. There are thousands of colours visible. The "Gay" flag has 6 colours.

There is no dark side to the moon. It's tidily locked so as it orbits the Earth, it rotates to keep the same face. We see slightly more than 50%. The far side gets plenty of sunshine & photographed in 1950s by Russia.

@raymaccarthy @redsad Didn't Newton invent an extra colour (indigo) just to make the number up to seven?

Also, though there isn't a permanent Dark Side, there is a distinct Far Side (if we ignore wobbles). But as a title, "Far Side of the Moon" doesn't really convey the dark tone of the album.

@henstridge @redsad
No, Newton didn't "invent" any colours or colour names.
Some societies, times, and people have less names for colours, but plenty of colour names in Newton's society. He reduced the number to seven.
Indigo was originally the name of a dye, but it was a colour name from the 13th C. in England. Newton published the work involving a Prism in 1704.

@redsad Oh dear, the non-fan bots are running wild with their image detection algorithms.
