The "Whor" nonsense is misogynistic pap, but there is an underlying reason these people are complaining. Thor is a character with an identity, not a power set. Jane wielding the hammer doesn't make her Thor, son of Odin.

brevoortformspring answered:

It doesn’t make her the son of Odin. It does make her Thor–just like Don Blake and Eric Masterson and Jake Olson before her.

So now I have the image of Odin hosting a meal for both Thors plus Blake & Masterson & Olsen and referring to Blake as 'my son the doctor' and all the others half-gritting their teeth half-enjoying it

so here’s what I remember about this @xplainthexmen Emma Frost podcast recording that I haven’t listened to yet, but you should:

Leah: I have two emojis tattooed on my butt

Everyone: which ones

Leah: [[falls silent because while she wants to share with the friends she’s currently drinking with/generally comfortable around, she’s also thinking about being recorded for a podcast and is too drunk to reconcile these things]]

Leah: …

Leah: Issa secret

also: 

Jay @postcardsfromspace : Yeah, don’t fuck with the space-time continuum. 

Either me or @seananmcguire, or maybe us both: okay but how about [[actually fucking the space-time continuum]]

The future is here today: you can’t play Bach on Youtube because Sony says they own his compositions

James Rhodes, a pianist, performed a Bach composition for his Youtube channel, but it didn’t stay up – Youtube’s Content ID system pulled it down and accused him of copyright infringement because Sony Music Global had claimed that they owned 47 seconds’ worth of his personal performance of a song whose composer has been dead for 300 years.

This is a glimpse of the near future. In one week, the European Parliament will vote on a proposal to force all online services to implement Content ID-style censorship, but not just for videos – for audio, text, stills, code, everything.

Just last week, German music professor Ulrich Kaiser posted his research on automated censorship of classical music, in which he found that it was nearly impossible to post anything by composers like Bartok, Schubert, Puccini and Wagner, because companies large and small have fraudulently laid claim to their whole catalogs.

Europeans have one week to contact their MEPs to head off this catastrophe.

Stop what you’re doing and contact two friends in the EU right now and send them to Save Your Internet – before it’s too late.
