#Machines are not inventors

[coldilikeit]

Guys, we're supposed to make a thesis and new inventions, so far we have thought of soap, creating a new religion, going back in time to kidnap Albert Einstein and making a bomb so big it makes another big bang theory

If you guys give me ideas, I will update 3 chapters continuously, or if you want, give me an invention idea and I will write a head cannon you want 2000 words max

It's a promise.

Magolor: Trying to catch up on stuff you missed? Well, yaoi is a thing now. Along with uhh

Lor: What’s that?

Magolor: did not think she would ask a question that fast It’s. A genre centering around romance between men..?

Lor:

Lor: Do you actually think being gay is a modern invention? Do you think homosexuality hasn’t existed as long as love itself? That two men or two women never once felt happy just to be with each other until some arbitrary time after I was put away?

Magolor: … Sometimes there is only one bed

Lor: Magolor.

“>Do you think gay people are a modern invention?” Is definitely a sentence in my brain now.

Since you're into Gargamel, have you ever taken Dick Dastardly from Wacky Racers into consideration? 🤔

YES!!!!!!! hahaha of COURSE, what a fabulous suggestion - the granddaddy of moustache-twirling card-carrying villains!!!! 🥴💖

you have fabulous taste as always - and are not the first person to suggest Dick to me 😉 i'd totally forgotten, but a little while ago i was chatting with my dad, and he (to my mortification) brought up how much i loved the baddies in all the old cartoons, Mr. Dastardly included 😂💖 i didn't know until today that Paul Winchell voiced both Dick Dastardly and Gargamel!!! what a legend!!!! he's just an absolute bastard, and for what? i have no idea of the wider canon of the Wacky Races universe as it's been so many years, but i think it's so much funnier if he's just a complete...well, dick, because he delights in getting one over on other people!!! he cheats and he lies and he serves severe cunt in his racing duster, what more do you want 🙈💖 i'm so happy that there is a great fanbase for him and the other Hanna Barbera oldies...and just may have to watch Scoob! after the Maxime Le Mal fixation dies down 👀 his design is so intriguing and i'm interested to see what they do with him in the modern era!!

Not So Fast there.. we got some corrections to make to this hoax

and also this continues where that one left off

and in case you just love Black Scientific Excellence enjoy this too

this final video is for those who didn't come to learn, but to argue.

Sit Down, get a cool drink and watch this one, to unravel those lies you were tricked into believing. KNOW Black People INVENTED Most of what you call modern technology. including this handy dandy device right here

So No..

the thing about lemon demon songs is theyre very specific. as such if a song is placed on a character playlist and it doesnt fit it goes horribly wrong. However when it comes to luca balsa from hit game identity v,

Oh this sounds like it’d be a fun movie

Characters who are around the same age in the late 1920s if you squint:

Chances are, you have Jan Ernst Matzeliger to thank, at least partially, for the shoes on your feet.

Matzeliger, an immigrant from what is now the country of Suriname, in South America, revolutionized the business of shoe manufacturing with a patent he earned in 1883 at the age of 30 – an innovation that underlies the methods shoe companies use today.

At one time, the upper part of a shoe was typically stitched to the sole by hand. A cobbler could churn out perhaps 50 shoes a day through the stretching and stitching process known as “lasting.” The lasting machine that Matzeliger invented allowed a shoemaker to complete more than 10 times as many shoes a day, according to the Smithsonian Institution and the National Inventors Hall of Fame. Shoes became more affordable. 

“He was truly an entrepreneur, doing what he did in the late 1800s, facing such discrimination and racism at the time,” says D’Wayne Edwards, a former Nike executive who has designed footwear for such athletes as Michael Jordan, Derek Jeter and Carmelo Anthony and who is founder and president of Pensole Lewis College of Business & Design in Detroit. Pensole is a successor school to Lewis College of Business, a historically Black institution that closed in 2015. 

“For him to have the vision and foresight to want to improve an industry and do something bigger than himself was truly amazing,” Edwards says. “He has been a pioneer for this industry that has been overlooked.” 

Matzeliger was born in 1852 in Dutch Guiana, now Suriname, to an enslaved mother and the slaveholder in whose house she worked. He moved to Massachusetts in the 1870s. 

After learning that a Black man was behind a key industry invention, Edwards wanted to honor Matzeliger in a way that would keep his legacy front and center. The solution: incorporate Matzeliger’s name into a shoe brand.

“JEMS by Pensole” — the acronym standing for Jan Ernst Matzeliger Studios — will open its factory in March, marking 140 years since Matzeliger received his patent. Edwards says the company expects to launch its first shoe in September. Shoe designs will be the result of collaboration between Edwards and Pensole students. 

The name “JEMS” has additional layers of meaning, Edwards says.  It represents gyms — where athletic footwear is often worn — and gems, which is what Edwards calls the primarily Black and brown students at Pensole who are being mentored. 

“We really do feel that the people we’re going to serve and honor in this factory are truly the hidden gems of our industry who have been overlooked, and/or have not ever had an opportunity,'' Edwards says.

The new venture is backed by an initial $2 million investment from Designer Brands Inc., parent of shoe retailer DSW . JEMS by Pensole shoes will be sold exclusively in DSW retail stores nationwide.

“The reason we’re partnering with Pensole is to get the next generation of designers, and very specifically, African American designers, in the footwear industry, and using DSW as a tool,” says William Jordan, Designer Brands Chief Growth Officer. “Less than 3%of designers in the footwear industry today are African American. We need to change that.”
