For the documentary aspects of it, yeah.

It’s mostly a collection of found news footage, shots lifted from other dystopian films, and a low-budget self-narrated life of a silent women of the future living in the rubble of a mall in San Fransisco. The future fiction parts feel over the top coming from September 2022 when it was announced, or even October 2024 when it was released, but in July 2025 it definitely hits different.

The documentary parts take up the lion’s share of the run-time, and are relevant to our role as citizen news aggregators. It puts the right-wing news actors and politicians in their proper context, and is a good summary of what we’re up against.

Fucking DOGE.

Think off-brand Michael Meyers mask.

No worries. Why did you think this was spam?

Happy Pride!

I love the meme is based on the tarot art of 7 of swords carrying swords and the 9 of swords mounted on the wall, and is consistent with the number of items collected increasing from left to right :)

This is a tedious recording of two people, one of whom doesn’t understand how to play nor cares to learn, try and suffer through an unpopular discontinued collectible card game. No wait there’s more: they also engage in annoying small-talk about their lives.

Your uncle is correct in that work isn’t given to inmates for their benefit or edification. It’s to line the pockets of those in charge. If the state wanted prisoners to more easily ‘re-integrate’ into society, they would let them form unions and pay them a decent wage for their labor. Instead, they’ll either abuse their authority to get the inmates to work for peanuts and pocket the difference, or they’ll pass the work to one of their cronies.

One of the roles of prison labor is to undermine organized labor outside of the prison. Prisoners are often employed outside of the prison in addition to doing work to maintain the prison. By forcing them to compete for jobs with slaves, it undermines non-incarcerated laborers’ bargaining power and pressures them to accept conditions closer to incarceration.

I don’t blame your uncle for his position; life in prison is extremely tedious, and the quality of what you’re given makes commissary essential. People outside need to organize with people inside to create a situation that benefits both.

Buka ba mbila!

Did anyone else catch the detail of the French-coded resistance in Andor using their metal-tipped canes to break up the pavement in the square before the Ghorman Massacre?

In the initial stages, which is the entire lifespan when it comes to microgreens, the plants get all of their nutrients from the seed’s endosperm.

El Faro hosts the interview with English subtitles.

It’s a map created by the Immigrant Legal Resource Center and they host an interactive map that you can mouseover. They get their data from ICE, whose website includes a non-interactive map in the form of a PDF. ICE is encouraging people to visit their site and write to their local law enforcement, they’re not going to waste resources tracking every visitor to determine if they’re really part of the target audience for their message.

It shouldn’t need to be said that the link is to ice. The link clearly says “ice dot gov” in the text. This warning sounds overly paranoid.
