After 3rd Monolith Appears in California, Homophobic White Supremacists Tear It Down Chanting ‘Christ is King’ and Replace it with Wooden Cross: WATCH
Following the appearance (and disappearance) last week in the Utah desert of a mysterious monolith, two others have appeared — one in Romania, and another at the top of Pine Mountain in Atascadero, California. Hikers began flocking to the monolith after it appeared there.
Unfortunately, the monolith was removed in an ugly, Trumpian behavior on Wednesday night, and livestreamed on the blockchain streaming site DLive. Some of the livestream was reshared to social media.
During the livestream, a group of young vandals tore down the monolith and replace it with a wooden cross.
Said the group's leader: “Christ is king of this nation. We don't want illegal aliens from Mexico or outer space. So let's tear this bitch down, c'mon.”
The group, one of whom wore a MAGA headband, then began chanting “Christ is king” as they rocked the metal obelisk to the ground.
“America first,” said one of the men after it was on the ground.

The Gay Monolith Pattern for Closeted Microservices

Having the microservices cake and eating it too.Table of Contents
Every application proposal trying to win the heart of a Fortune 500 company today not only needs to claim to be Agile—oh, sorry, SAFe—but also based on a microservices architecture. After high-profile microservices disasters like Dell’s, we understand that a myopic microservices approach may not end up good. What if we could have all the benefits of a microservices architecture but none of the drawbacks? Is this even possible? Maybe: enter the Gay Monolith architectural pattern.
In the good design patterns style, let me initiate off with the problem statement first and the solution later.
Microservices are isolated network components with their own independent deployment and runtime life cycle. The challenge is that it is impossible to inform in advance how many microservices are—or should be—required. Even though bounded contexts may help identify microservices, it is not correct that all relevant bounded contexts will be established at the start of the project. It is neither certain that
We’ve heard this phrase a lot lately: The LGBTQ community is not a monolith. It gets used whenever the assumed homogeny of the community is called into question, serving as a reminder that not all LGBTQ participate the same views or priorities.
In politics, for example, one might stereotypically hope for LGBTQ people to automatically support an LGBTQ candidate. During the election in Pennsylvania last year, when notable LGBTQ people endorsed ally Austin Davis for Lieutenant Governor over openly gay Brian Sims, people said “the LGBTQ collective is not a monolith,” to explain why Sims didn’t have unified LGBTQ support.
Socially, some LGBTQ people use the phrase to help justify them discriminating against other groups, including other members of their own community. Groups such as Gays Against Groomers state on their website: “The LGBTQ community is not a monolith,” to explain why they are against healthcare for gender non-conforming minors and events love Drag Queen Story Hour.
But the phrase is much simpler than either of those examples. All it does is remind people of an obvious fact: LGBTQ people are individuals. They may belong to a community of others who share their sexual orientation or gender i

I carry out not wake up with aspirations of being black or gay. I already am. I arouse up with aspirations of finding adoration, achieving dreams, fulfilling fantasies and switching lives. As a fiction writer, I look to make stories that converse to more than sexuality and skin color. Yes, I live my everyday life within the context of the black experience--as a black gay man--but one of the symptoms of living in a world inundated with alabaster privilege is knowing that it is too lazy to consider you more than its social categories or stereotypical plights.
In life, we live in a time when the experiences of black people are mostly relegated to images of tragedy. I acknowledge the level of importance it is that we continue to push the truthfulness in which many people of hue live every day--straight and gay. As community editor of Colorlines, this is a huge part of my every day mission. Reminding the world of the affects systemic and cultural racism has on LGBTQ people of tint is a part of my occupation. But speaking from the lens of a creative--a penner tasked with documenting the human condition and experiences as I see them--I also understand that our actual stories are not
