I need to yell about Three Body for a minute

Netflix just announced they are doing a series based on the Remembrance of Earth’s Past book series by Liu Cixin, known as The Three Body Problem trilogy. The trailer had… a lot of white people? The first book takes place in China and there is one white American character who is a rich guy with a yacht. The second book takes place mostly in China but also at the UN so there are maybe five more non-Chinese characters? The third book takes place partly in the future in space but still centers Chinese characters. So why are there so few Chinese people in the video? It looks like the trailer has two random observers of the sky, Mike Evans, a European philosopher from the Three Body video game, Sophon who isn’t Chinese (why), and then a big throng of Chinese people doing Cultural Revolution stuff. Ye Wenjie is there, briefly. I’m concerned that they’re going to do what they did with World War Z: take an international story with 20 main characters and flatten it into one story centering on a white American. If this happens I will buy Netflix and then destroy the building with my bare hands and teeth

HoooooOOOOO I just searched the “three body” tag on here and it turns out there is already a show made in China by Tencent that has 30 episodes out. My heart is healed, Netflix can be cast back to the land of wind and shadows for all I care

Diversity win: your arch nemesis accepts your atypical gender identity but shall never accept the evil in your heart

"a pharmacist at a Walgreens chain in Oakland refused to hand over his hormone replacement medicine due to their “religious beliefs”."

......

I'm sorry

He did what now?

Perhaps someone should explain to this hateful little cunt what being employed in the service industry means

It means you do what your fucking told

When I walk into McDonalds I don't expect to have some whiny little cunt tell me "I'm a vegan so I can't morally sell you a Big Mac"

If this brainleess cross burning little dipshit wants to bitch and whine about his "Morals" and "Religious beliefs" he can fuck off to whatever sub-reddit he and the rest of his basement dwelling nazi buddies hang out in and cry his eyes out about it there to the rest of the snivelling little dateless wonder fuckboys that make up his pathetic friend circle

He's employed to do a fucking job. If he won't do his job he should be fired immediately and replaced with someone who will do what they are being paid to do

If his "Religious beliefs" dictate that he can't do said job he can fuck off to the unemployment line and have fun waiting to see if his imaginary friend shows up with bread and fishes to feed him while he's out of a job

I absolutely encourage anyone who encounters worthlss transphobic trash like this pharmacist to do everything in their power to get these little cunts fired from their jobs because "people" like this bigot shouldn't be allowed to work in pharmacies

Or anywhere, really

There's only one Walgreens on Telegraph in Oakland: 5505 Telegraph. It's this one.

Not far from Children's Hospital. Part of a shopping center with Noah's Bagels, Round Table Pizza, and a post office.

If you're local, it's definitely worth calling or stopping by to ask which of your normal purchases, especially medications, might not be available based on the religious biases of some of their staff.

And keep pestering them until that pharmacist is fired. And they say so publicly.

The news article mentioned the victim's name but not the pharmacist's. (This is a liability thing; journalists have to be very careful about whose names they throw around or they or their news host can be sued.)

Walgreens needs to become aware that (1) they are going to be subject to a whole lot of very annoying calls (and possibly visits) until they declare that bigotry in their staff is not welcome, and (2) it's a really bad idea for patients to be unwilling to tell pharmacists anything about their condition, and this guy is undermining public trust in the medical profession as a whole.

A medical professional who can't do their job for "religious reasons," if they can't just fire the person, should have to make it very very clear to customers that they provide limited services.

Maybe they can wear a button that says "I WILL NOT HANDLE SOME MEDICATIONS," possibly with a nice list that can be handed out on request. Of course, the pharmacy would need to always have another person on hand for their shifts; they can't have someone working alone who can't serve the customers, but as long as they're always paired with someone who can, it's not a problem.

("Just fire the asshole" is by far the preferred route. But he may actually be looking for that; he may have a neo-nazi legal team ready to jump in and sue the company for firing someone "based on their religious beliefs.")

If you live near here, I would suggest calling them to ask if you will be denied medication.

what i thought we had distanced ourselves from was the reduction of women to vaginas and wombs and the ability to bear children. i thought we had progressed past ‘dresses are for women and pants are for men.’ i thought we progressed past the idea that someone is less of a woman if she does not adhere strictly to beauty standards. i thought we progressed past the idea that naturally being comfortable adhering to highly feminine standards is vulgar. but i (sarcastically) guess no one could have predicted that trans-exclusive feminism would be the downfall of all the progress we’ve made

“We’re in danger of losing what the entire second wave of feminism, what the entire second wave of women’s liberation was built on, and that was ‘Biology is not destiny’. ‘One is not born a woman,’ Simone de Beauvoir said, ‘one becomes one’. Now there’s some place where transsexual women and other women intersect. Biological determinism has been used for centuries as a weapon against women, in order to justify a second-class and oppressed status. How on Earth, then, are you going to pick up the weapon of biological determinism and use it to liberate yourself? It’s a reactionary tool.”
“Gender is a shell game. What is a man? Whatever a woman isn’t. What is a woman? Whatever a man is not. Tap on it and it’s hollow. Look under the shells: it’s not there”

also please note that this scientist is in fact the retired man who invented the xbox.

oh fuck i listened to a podcast that was interviewing him and the process he went through to make this bread, ologies with allie ward like he went through full on clean room levels of prep to ensure that this was 100% yeast from old egypt and had to bend over backwards to ensure everything involved was uncontaminated he then revealed that the original xbox logo...

is a sourdough boule
