I managed to piss off way fewer people by directly saying "stop voting for republicans" than I did by making a video on the PlayStation's clever copy protection system.

Red Scares and anti-communist demagogues have driven our political history into some dark places for well over a century. We're headed for even worse if we fail learn how redbaiting works through a larger context. Here's my longest ever episode explaining that history: youtu.be/5fYbXCAQORE

On almost everything – fraud, polarisation, radicalisation, misinformation – evidence suggests that over 60s are in much more urgent need of online protection and education than teenagers.

But that issue gets zero political attention, and is a total non-starter. Nothing good will come of it.
This was a minor story on London news this morning - but suspect is a real cautionary (and alarming) tale of an older man getting radicalised online.

Amazon just announced 14,000 layoffs. Its CEO made over $40M last year.

UPS announced 48,000 layoffs. Its CEO made over $24M last year.

Intel announced 20,000 layoffs. Its new CEO's pay package is valued at nearly $69M.

This is what I mean when I say the system is rigged.

You know when you read a headline and you then imagine it on a newspaper front page being blown across a desolate post apocalyptic landscape at the beginning of a movie?

Yeah. That.

Insulting compliments is one of those things I picked up from my very southern grandmother.

With due consideration, my most damning compliment for movies: "It has a great soundtrack."

While lot of movies have great soundtracks, if that's the first and only thing I reach for? Ouch.
Having watched "Fantastic Four - First Steps" I think back to @mikeyface.bsky.social's recent Filmjoy essay. It doesn't matter if this is the best Marvel film ever (it's very pretty, probably the best attempt at F4), the economics of blockbusters means it was guaranteed to be perceived as a flop.
