The first castle of Montepò was erected around 1000, but the structure was mostly redone during the Renaissance. Later additions were removed in the 19th century in order to restore the Renaissance look. It is now a high class winery.

> Here, at the connection between technology and queerness–in the liminality between desire and technology–there is room for new imaginings. It is no surprise then that technology, which had always been promised as the horizon of the future, had placed into it the dreams of those who hoped for a new future beyond the limitations we had today. As the queer and trans community found new connections and language to express our imaginations on this new digital frontier, we expanded beyond the boundaries of others' expectations for our bodies. Our lives began to push and break the limits of what others said we could become. Is it surprising, then, that the internet has become a space for our collective queer imagination of a future horizon?

The way I interprete Tolkien, I think he meant Fëanor as an example how even the best among the best can be corrupted by their hatred. He does not mince words in regards to Fëanor's positive attributes after all.
For Fëanor was made the mightiest in all parts of body and mind: in valour, in endurance, in beauty, in understanding, in skill, in strength and subtlety alike: of all the Children of Ilúvatar, and a bright flame was in him.
The quality issues of "Rings of Power" aside, for anyone who believes that Tolkien's works don't include moral grayness, there is only one response: Fëanor.
My pleasure.
You are welcome.
In the original interview, she makes it clear that there several incidents and that the AI images she got were the last straw which convinced her to delete Twitter.
Yeah, if anyone needed a clear sign where exTwitter's journey was going, that was it. It's the nazi bar now and people should not hang out there anymore.
Yeah, it's way overdue to delete Twitter, but I also know far too many people who cling to it, providing one specious justification or another. I really don't know what still needs to happen in order for left-ish/progressive/queer/... people to finally get off of Twitter.
Additionally to what has already been mentioned: People are susceptible to politics that confirm their prejudices. Right-wing political thought is largely based on confirming that whatever prejudices people hold, they are morally good and justified. Thus elevating an in-group above out-groups. That is a powerful lure.
Incompatibilities between hardware and software caused data corruption. This resulted in hangups and increasingly frequent crashes. It was necessary to download a new gender, which is currently being installed.
I am not entirely sure, but it's either the Aurora Flopsie or Cabela's Giant Red Fox.
It's Krafton, Tencent owns a minority stake of that one.
"Free speech" has always been a right-wing dog whistle. It has nothing to do with anyone's legal right, it's a means to claim victimhood and justify attacking others as "defense".
Sure, but the damage is done. A major US newspaper giving credence to the lies is a win for the people spreading hate, whether there is a retraction or not. It's not about facts after all.
But I think it’s possible he is an unthinking and arrogant man who would simply shrug at what happened on his platform
Dog dammit, liberal pundits, stop effing white-washing Musk and his beliefs. He is a fascist. Don't make effing excuses for him when the guy is pining for a civil war.
