    TIL Black Americans were developing the Afro-Futurism/Black Sci-Fi genre of literature as early as the mid-19th century. Titles such as 'Blake' (1859), 'Iola Leroy' (1892), 'Imperium In Imperio (1899)
  • The question is because the DaVinci code fits that authors reasoning for why Blake should be Sci-Fi, in that it explores an alternative history.

    It’s a rhetorical question, but that does not belie the seriousness of it.

    TIL School shootings in America date all the way back to the 1700s
  • That is such a lie.

    The first entry on that list is an attack by indigenous peoples. The rest are basically all what we could consider a school shooting.

    CIA boss says west should not be intimidated by Russia’s nuclear threats
  • Somehow the threat of nuclear war, billions of deaths and the collapse of society, alongside a climate changing nuclear winter just isn’t that concerning when I already know climate change is going to do as much damage already.

    As Harris Rejects Fracking Ban, Will Anyone Listen to What Pennsylvanians Want?
  • Who are you going to vote for next time when they run someone more to the right than Kamala and the Republicans run someone more insane than Trump?

    And how many times will you continue to do it?

    Australia's equivalent climates
  • There’s this big cold place down south that sends massively cold air up to the bottom of Australia. Whereas the top is literally situated in the tropics.

    Add to that we’re surrounded by multiple current and airstreams hitting each side of the continent. And the Mountain ranges along the east coast make the interior drier and hotter.

    Oh and Ausstralia is big. If Europe can go from snow up north to beach holidays in the Mediterranean, why wouldn’t we also be as varied and more.

  • You’d be wanting this shitty map. Congrats now you know Victoria is temperate, what it doesn’t tell you is that we’re often wet and miserable like in England or that you’ll get snow in Tassie.

    I much rather OPs map.

    Theme

    Where is my super suit? For this challenge you are to create your own super hero.

    Some photo shopping is allowed if you have trouble with the title.

    As an extra rule, take your time! Some of you can be super fast (me included) and I've noticed that the early bird usually catches the worm. So for this challenge I'm subtracting a point for anyone who posts within 24 hours. It should hopefully level the playing field a little bit. Consider it an experiment, whoever wins is free to get rid of this rule if it doesn't work out.

    Rules

    • Follow the community’s rules above all else
    • One comment and image per user
    • Embed image directly in the post (no external link)
    • Workflow/Prompt sharing encouraged (we’re all here for fun and learning)
    • Posts that are tied will both get the points
    • The challenge runs for 7 days from now on
    • Down votes will not be counted

    Scores

    At the end of the challenge each post will be scored: | Prize | Points | |---|---| | Most upvoted | +3 points | | Second most upvoted | +2 point | | Third most upvoted | +1 point | | Hero | +1 point | | Comic Book Cover | +1 point | | Last two entries (to compensate for less time to vote) | +1 point | | Prompt and workflow included | +1 point | | Post within 24 hours | -1 point |

    Hero points are awarded to the most fleshed out hero, (backstory, uniform, powers, etc.)

    Comic Book Cover points are awarded to those that most look like a real comic book issue.

    The winner gets to pick next theme! As always, have fun everyone!\ Previous entries

    Biden, Harris, and Blinken are able to continue to posture as brokers of peace while sending billions of dollars in weapons to Netanyahu’s soldiers.

    Breaking this cynical cycle requires getting honest about Biden and Harris’s roles in this blood-soaked charade.
