RT @NASAAdmin: Crew-12 is now aboard the @Space_Station, advancing research, discovery, and operational excellence in the demanding environment of low-Earth orbit.

Human spaceflight is a major team effort and requires immense competence, precision and discipline. Credit to the @NASA flight controllers guiding Dragon to station and overseeing ISS operations, the mission and payload teams delivering world-class science, our international partners, and @SpaceX for safely carrying our astronauts to and from orbit.

Hatches open! Four @SpaceX Crew-12 crew members have entered the station and joined Expedition 74 to begin a long-duration space research mission. More... go.nasa.gov/4twQhDf - International Space Station

Wilberforce, and people like him, ended the global slave trade that had existed for several thousand years.

They didn’t invent it, but they did stop it.

I should say almost entirely. There are still remnants of it in some parts of the world.

He was DEFEATED ELEVEN TIMES.

Attacked. Threatened with DEATH. Nearly blind.

Addicted to opium just to function. They told him to stop. He spent forty-six years refusing.

His name was William Wilberforce. Born in Hull, 1759.

He could have lived a comfortable life. Wealthy family. Safe seat in Parliament.

Instead he chose to destroy the most powerful economic system in the British Empire.

The slave trade.

He didn't fight alone. Thomas Clarkson rode 35,000 miles gathering evidence.

Olaudah Equiano, man who had been enslaved himself, gave testimony that no politician could ignore.

Wilberforce took their evidence to Parliament.

They voted no. He came back. They voted no. He came back. Lost by eight votes.

MPs deliberately stayed away so they wouldn't have to choose a side.

He came back. Again. And again. And again.

By now his eyesight was nearly gone. His body was breaking. He'd been on opium since he was 29.

Twenty years after he started, they voted again.

283 to 16.

The slave trade was abolished.

But he wasn't finished. Slavery itself was still legal. He fought for another twenty-six years.

In July 1833, lying in bed, barely able to move, he received word. Parliament had voted. Slavery was abolished across the entire British Empire.

Three days later, William Wilberforce died.

He held on just long enough.

They buried him in Westminster Abbey.

AI must pass, in general, the “Galileo” test: even if almost all the training data repeats falsehoods, it must nonetheless see the truth

Happy Birthday to Galileo Galilei.✍️

Born on February 15, 1564, Galileo was a pioneering scientist whose observations transformed humanity’s understanding of the universe. Through his telescopic discoveries - including the moons of Jupiter and the phases of Venus - he provided powerful evidence that challenged long-held beliefs and supported the motion of the Earth.

Widely regarded as the Father of modern astronomy, his dedication to observation, evidence, and scientific inquiry laid the foundation for modern science. - Physics In History

RT @wil_da_beast630: This is literally true.

Editing Wikipedia was a major for-credit assignment in a Berkeley "Studies" course.

As a Wokist might say: "Don't automatically assume you're just imagining things."

Berkeley gender and race studies students were given the task of creating and editing Wikipedia pages and filling them with critical theory/queer propaganda instead of submitting final papers — for over a decade.

This is a key point: the idea that imprisoning criminals won’t reduce crime tacitly assumes that there’s some kind of crime quota, and other people will start assaulting strangers if we lock up the people currently doing it. - Hunter Ash

Fate is an irony maxxer

1) slavery was ubiquitous in history and by every civilization

2) the only civilization to fight to end slavery (British and Americans) are still villainized as if they were the only ones who ever owned slaves

RT @w_terrence: 2-year-old Jeremy Poou-Caceres was shot and killed while walking with his mother.

Authorities say an illegal immigrant from El Salvador — who already had a deportation order — was responsible for the shooting.

His face hasn’t been everywhere. There were no marches, no nonstop headlines, no nationwide outrage for this little boy.

His life mattered, even if the outrage never came.

She called ICE to get him deported 😂

DREW PERFORMANCE ART UPDATE

Billie Eilish got me deported from the US - I think her legal team contacted DHS

I spent 30 hours at LAX immigration trying to explain that my shit posts were just a joke and that I didn’t actually plan to personally move into her mansion

Honestly most of the agents were nice and laughed at the idea but there was nothing I could do, maybe evil leftists are still in charge of sections of the bureaucracy

I guess some people are in fact actually illegal on stolen land

And I guess I am just a BAD GUY….
