I love that a country founded by men in wigs, tights, high heels & powdered faces, is trying to ban drag shows.
The irony & hypocrisy is amusing & infuriating.
Give these Navajo women credit for making the Apollo Missions possible:
"The historic Apollo moon missions are often associated with high-visibility test flights... But intricate, challenging handiwork — comparable to weaving — was just as essential to putting men on the moon... the Navajo women who assembled state-of-the-art integrated circuits for the Apollo Guidance Computer... who wove the computer’s core memory."

what's causing this flare
the correct answer is who cares
The Luddites were a labor movement.
"The Luddites themselves 'were totally fine with machines,' says Kevin Binfield, editor of the 2004 collection Writings of the Luddites. They confined their attacks to manufacturers who used machines in what they called 'a fraudulent and deceitful manner' to get around standard labor practices.
'They just wanted machines that made high-quality goods,' says Binfield, 'and they wanted these machines to be run by workers who had gone through an apprenticeship and got paid decent wages. Those were their only concerns.'"
Also the men wore dresses and called themselves brides of Ludd.
