On this day, 7 September 1934, anti-fascists hung a banner atop the BBC headquarters advertising a demonstration against a rally by Oswald Mosley and his British Union of Fascists that weekend. While Mosley had been invited on the BBC to promote his Nazi views and advertise his demonstration, the BBC, like the rest of the British press, refused to give a platform to anti-fascists, or mention the counter-protest. Despite this, on the day, over 100,000 Londoners overwhelmed the fascists and their police guard and drove them out of Hyde Park.

Tor is an anonymity network that encrypts your data and hides your IP by bouncing your requests through a multi-layered proxy, making it impossible to trace. It also comes standard with several privacy tools that are stronger than the default Firefox ones. It’s otherwise built on Firefox, so it’s the same but more secure

Tor’s proxies and privacy settings can break some websites or get blocked entirely, so it’s good to have Firefox on standby when problems come up. But if you can stand a couple tech hiccups, definitely go with Tor

also an important note that “impossible to trace” is true but “completely hides information” is not.

Basically if someone is watching the point your computer sends from, or the server that receives your information, they have that information bc by then it’s unencrypted.

A bad actor watching your entry node can know who you are, but not what you’re doing (what data you’re sending and where). A bad actor watching your exit node can know what you’re doing, but not who you are. The point of Tor is that there’s no way for anyone to know both at the same time, and both “Pops is browsing the internet through Tor” and “somebody somewhere in the world is visiting super secret antifa websites” are effectively useless information on their own

The exception is onion services, which never leave the Tor network at all. Those connections are impossible to spy on, since the data never goes over a public channel while unencrypted. This is what makes up the “deep web,” which is how people are able to do stuff like order hits online without being caught (because another effect of onion services is it anonymizes the website too) - but despite the reputation, most of the deep web is completely harmless, and a lot of it is just mirrors of clearnet sites like DuckDuckGo, Facebook, and news sites like the New York Times (since onion services are useful for whistleblowers who want to remain anonymous). The newest version of Tor Browser actually has a feature that recommends or redirects to the .onion mirror of any site you visit if one is known

Be wary of ads on Tor. They can be used to identify people. They can play unique ultrasonic tones (meaning we can’t hear them) which are then picked up by apps on your phone (which don’t need permissions to access your microphone). This allows advertisers to identify who is in the room and using the computer. We don’t know every app or company that utilizes this, although it’s mostly done for targeted marketing. It can be used to identify even anonymous Tor users though. I’d recommend putting the phone in a different room if you’re worried.

Beware of ads that use inaudible sound to link your phone, TV, tablet, and PC

Privacy advocates warn feds about surreptitious cross-device tracking.

Ars Technica

uBlock Origin is the one extension you should have running on Tor. It’s included by default in Tails so it’s 1. considered safe by a trustworthy source and 2. a lot less likely to be used to identify you since a sizeable userbase is already using it

You should always be using adblockers anyway. Being exposed to ads at all is harmful

Hello you need to see this drag performer talking about quantum physics, queer existence, and non-binary identities.

[Video Description: A drag queen — who is credited as Amrou Al-Kadhi / Glamrou, a drag performer, writer, and filmmaker — stands in front of a microphone and explains,

“Quantum physics is this incredible sect of of physics, which basically…

With like, Newtonian physics — I think of it as heteronormative physics — where its basically ‘What are the fixed universal principles that govern the world? If I do A, will B happen? What are the formulas that’ll tell us anywhere in the universe, “What will happen if I input this?”’

Quantum physics is equally a “real” sect of physics that basically looks at subatomic particles — so the very smallest things in our universe, not the macro things — and they contradict basically everything that Newtonian physics shows us. So, the most famous experiment is the Double Slit Experiment, where you fire an electron and it should go through the left or right hole. And then every now and then, it goes through both at the same time. And we don’t really know why. And sometimes, the same subatomic particle is in different locations at the same times.

And quantum physics shows that actually reality itself is basically a majority approximation of what’s happening sub-atomically. So when people spew the biological essentialism argument on me. Like, particles themselves are non-binary, and do things that contradict each other all the time, we just can’t see them all the time. And that gives me a lot of comfort, that if subatomic particles defy constructs all the time, why should we believe in fixed constructs of gender, or any kind of reality?” END DESCRIPTION]

this whole discussion about a Mulan life-action baffles me. Like… I love the fun with Mushu and all but? Why do we need a Disney remake of the movie when there is

a pretty much epic

beautiful

actually Chinese version

with great characters

and Mulan’s more accurate story

readily available??? 

Since 2009??

Well I know what I am watching now

UPDATE: I just watched this and I have so many emotions. Seriously, check this out

OOH! On my list!

i didnt know this existed!!! ok

I’ve failed all my followers for not letting them know about this immediately. I’m sorry you guys missed out.

I NEED IT

http://www.veoh.com/watch/v19697192DZSkejpc

Here is a link to watch it free online with English subtitles.

Just as a warning, it is a little violent, some horses are killed during the battles, and there is a scene where Wentai cuts open his wrist. It is a very good movie, I just finished watching it and would recommend everyone watch it.

Disney believes they are the first to introduce these characters. They aren’t. They don’t own them and just mesh whatever they want to please tjemselves. Watch an actual good movie instead of disney cash grab.
