For those puzzled why the strong box office opening of SINNERS is being framed as disappointing somehow, Vulture gave the game away two days ago. Studios are freaking out about letting the copyright revert to Coogler, so the film can't be seen as a success. The fix is in.

I care less about Signal chats and more about the blacksite offshore concentration camps we're sending random people to without any semblance of a trial, so I'll be interested to see if the national media can rub their bellies and pat their heads at the same time this week. Historically they can't.

Why are tech billionaires plotting to build a new city on Greenland? The answer is weirder and scarier than you think. And — for some strange reason — the mainstream press just won't talk about it. www.thenerdreich.com/tech-billion...

Schedules on apps don't last. Schedules on paper do. I have schedules of events from conventions that happened 49 and 50 years ago because they were printed in a physical document. They survive until somebody takes the effort to destroy them, there's no expiration date, no server to go down.

NEWS: Trump ended a federal probe of surveillance pricing — and now corporations are plotting to use his threat of tariffs to justify permanently raising prices on consumers. “Now is the time to take advantage,” said one “price optimization” consultant www.levernews.com/how-trump-is...

One might say this is a consequence of the twitter exodus, but it's also just the increase in the amount of people using bluesky as the alternative. People are going to people regardless and at least here we can curate better and block the partisan idiocy better. It's not perfect, though.

"This is a pattern. If one law firm capitulates, Trump goes after more. If one university, tech billionaire, media company capitulates, he goes after more. If we don't fight him now, when he’s only gone after one legal resident, then we can't act surprised when he ultimately goes after Americans."

There's only two options here - Trump is a fucking idiot and surrounded by flying monkeys and enablers, or this is all according to plan to create dream oligarchic nation for the billionaires. Either way, they must be stopped.

And this is why AOC is not the face of the revolution. They're just blue fascism. Fascism THEY'RE running, that's more "vetted". But it's still fascism. It's still perpetuating harmful and deadly stereotypes of immigrant and refugee communities.

This is also part of eugenics. Kill the weak, might makes right. It never works or lasts. Fuck the people who voted him in but let's be real, our government has stopped being a democracy for quite some time. Now we're mask off fuck off and die. This is the prelude to killing the disabled.

The enshittification of even the worst fucking things about the US. This is why business and government cannot coexist. Business always seeks to destroy government for a quick buck no matter the cost. Psychopathy.

Yes, AND capitalism literally encourages separation of art and artist because the art is merely a product. Capitalism’s entire goal is to separate us from ourselves.

Nope it still isn’t doomerism or capitulation to point out the corporate democrats and the party they built are corrupt and must be destroyed if we want any chance at the kind of systemic change that is needed to actually beat the fascists forever.
