If Mort Divine ruled the world

[CiG]

Oh wow lmao I love the way the reporter just glosses over the "40 scientists of different gender" bit. Gold.

Fuck the "MSM" designation. It's legacy media. A dinosaur comprised of midwits and sycophants.

If we’re being fair, the CNN byline reads that she “led the creation” of the algorithm.

Also, Andrew Chael didn’t actually write 95% of the code, so that meme is also misleading.

Yeah HBB already said that.

sick, his git is public.

Twitter, Buzzfeed, and TeamYaaaas aren't really legacy media either tho, and CNN in particular is trying the hardest to stay on recent social media trends/mechanisms. Though I'm not 100% sure about exactly how this blew up; I think MIT posting a tweet yesterday morning specifically celebrating Katie Bouman was the impetus, though most news sources failed to recognize that MIT themselves didn't lead this project (though she did lead the imaging aspect of MIT's portion of the project, it seems).

 

[EternalMetal]

lol, and no credit was been given to the guy who actually led the entire project until retrospectively.

https://www.nytimes.com/2019/04/11/science/katie-bouman-black-hole.html[/URL] ]
The project, led by Shep Doeleman, an astronomer at the Harvard-Smithsonian Center for Astrophysics, was the work of more than 200 researchers. About 40 of them were women, according to Harvard’s Black Hole Initiative.

Im not against the idea that "women can do great things", but the media misrepresentation is nauseating.

 

[HamburgerBoy]

I was expecting that Sarah Nervosh to blow things up even more on the gender aspect but that was a fair and more thorough article tbh. It's really just a social media issue and less-reliable outlets blowing up trending Twitter shit as news.

EDIT: IT'S DR. MA'AM

Logan Paul's podcast was not ready for Alex Jones.

 

[HamburgerBoy]

Didn't know who Logan Paul was so I googled the name and see a lot of kvetching over Logan Paul platforming this alt-right bigot by bringing him back to YouTube. He's got the blonde-hair blue-eyes thing going too so I definitely see the crypto-Nazi in him.

 

[EternalMetal]

Wait, you didn't know who Logan Paul was until now? Dude is a total d-bag who has one of the biggest followings on youtube, that just so happens to be composed of 12 year old girls.

My god Jones annihilated him. I need to see the whole clip of this.

EDIT: IT'S DR. MA'AM

Oh hell, like she wasn't already given far more credit for her accomplishments via media just BECAUSE she was a woman? Serisouly jesus christ.

 

[CiG]

Logan Paul is the guy that caused controversy because he filmed a corpse he found in that suicide forest in Japan right?

 

[HamburgerBoy]

I had heard about the suicide forest thing. Dunno, I guess YouTube just showed me mercy, I generally try to avoid clicking on any recommended sidebar videos because once you do they fucking flood you.

Racialists make so many demands of the Pride organizers that they decided to simply cancel the whole event.

 

[HamburgerBoy]

Shades of Colour and a group called RaricaNow demanded the Pride society provide $20,000 to each group to create spaces specific to queer, trans, black, Indigenous and people of colour at the festival.

lmao, a literal shakedown.

 

[Dak]

Gotta love the left self-segregating.

 

[CiG]

I've never heard of a melting pot where none of the ingredients touch each other.

 

[Dak]

The problem with melting pots is the ingredients do touch each other and become not what they were.

 

[CiG]

The more diverse the population, the more people rebel against being greyed and blended, and the more they accentuate their differences.
