God I'm old.
Without stating your age, post a movie that released when you turned 18 🎬
Obviously not the old red and blue ones, those newer ones.
These look like some weird ass 3D glasses, you'd get at a cinema.
Local Government workers from across 8 Metropolitan Melbourne Councils are taking a historic 24-hour Strike Action for fair wages and conditions on 5 May.

Republicans know they are about to lose the House and are trying to give Big Oil its holy grail: legal immunity from any futures actions that would hold the industry responsible for the climate crisis it knowingly caused and is making worse every day.

I can't quite believe (a) how quickly so many people started outsourcing their decision-making and critical thinking to machines owned by psychopathic oligarchs, and (b) how quickly that made everyone really, really dumb.
Now I just gotta get the other 10 things in my book recorded.

I remember trying to watch this at some point and not finishing it. So, figure I should finally finish it.
Also, I like Alex Garland and this came out right on the back of Ex Machina and Annihilation. Which were both amazing.
A man is staring up at big cinematic screen. The screen depicts a young girl in a blue and white dress, transposed over the tree tops of a forest.
Decided I gonna watch the Alex Garland show #Devs, instead of going to the movies tonight.
Unfortunate for us here in SA. We are still gonna have to deal with the dickheads for 4-8yrs (depending on the house they sit in).
So, do I go see The Mummy tonight or Project Hail Mary?
This war is so damn confusing. It’s why we shouldn’t let drunks and dementia patients run it.

Both, the holocaust was the face of modernity. The bureaucracy, division of labour, [pseudo]rationalism, industrialization of death, etc.
It figures the undergirding currents, still underpin our sociotechnical, postmodern society.
The idiot is doubling down.

Dumb as 🐕 💩
We uncovered a vast surveillance empire whose untraceable tech has been used to target people in more than 100 countries, including the US. It has operated under the radar for decades.
Until now.
Kind of love that the conversation spoke about what we did in the past (squatted and built public housing) when there were rising encampments of people experiencing homelessness here:

A pie chart showing religious affiliation in the US between 2020-2024. It shows Protestantism leading with 44.8% followed by Catholicism at 21.8%
This is the problem with importing your religious denomination wars from the US. They're a bunch of Protestants and we're not.
Not sure how that'll work out for them, Catholic is the largest Christian denomination in the country. Unlike the US.
Viewing it, merely as homesickness for a time and culture misses what makes it an effective organizational tool.
Prejudice reduction A final interpersonal consequence of nostalgia is prejudice reduction. In several experiments, Turner et al. asked participants to reflect on a nostalgic or ordinary experience with a person from a specific stigmatized group (i.e., overweight [50,51], mentally ill [52], older adults [53]). Those who reflected on a nostalgic experience subsequently expressed less negative attitudes toward the stigmatized group.
the right has been very effective in its use to provide in-group meaning and create in-group social connectedness against outgroups. In the form of fashwave and other toxic uses of nostalgia.
It can just as easily be used for the opposite.
Feel like this article could've covered some of the recent social psychological research on nostalgia like Juhl and Biskas, 2022.
It's resultant nature from social disconnectedness, it's potentially to provide a feeling of social connectedness, its capability of being a transferable emotion. While
The RBA deliberately creates #unemployment to control inflation. Then our employment services system treats the jobless as if they caused their own predicament and don't want to work.
Unfair and unnecessarily cruel. My latest in @aunz.theconversation.com: theconversation.com/the-rbas-pol...
