Sometimes I'll see a word in another language and be jumpscared by sudden understanding of an English word.

Like, "Hm... in Italian, L'emicrania is a really bad headache in half (hemi) your skull (krania)— Oh, fuck, we really butchered that one, huh?"

ID: screencaps of James Baldwin saying, 'What's gonna happen, sooner or later, all the wretched of the earth… in one way or another… next Tuesday or next Wednesday… will destroy the cobblestones on which London and Rome and Paris are built. The world will change because it has to change. The party is over.'

i can't even come up with an adequate enough comparison to describe the second-hand embarrassment i'm feeling at this moment, all that's coming to mind is that time i threw up in the school hallway in 5th grade and that was still easier to cope with than this

The fact that this is the movie that made Tom Holland realize that Marvel movies weren't filmed well is embarrassing for everyone involved.

Now that everyone is discussing Nolan's Odyssey movie, I feel like it's a good time to let non-Italians know that the production dumped plastic props into the Italian sea. Weirdly enough I could not find any article in English about it but it's a fucking problem nonetheless.

I might translate this article later today. This one was the most complete one, even in Italian news it's not talked about that much.

Non è la prima volta che la produzione solleva un vespaio in Sicilia. A Lipari una squadra di sub sarebbe però già impegnata a bonificare i

They dumped plastic skeletons in environmentally protected areas, against the literal contracts they had to sign to get the permits to film in environmentally protected areas. Like they not only did a bad ecological thing that freaked out some divers, they literally broke environmental protection laws and their contract with the Italian government

They also filmed in illegally occupied territories in western sahara

i love when movies are trying to be a 9/10 on the disturbing scale but the quality of the script/movie itself is like 4/10 so it bumps the disturbing down to like 1/10 by virtue of being meaningless and boring

Hey, did y'all see this?

I saw this when running newpipe. But wait, it gets deeper. I clicked on the details buttons and it said as of today, we have 83 days left until Google rolls out this new requirement for apps inside and outside of the google play store. If any developer disagrees with their new terms and fees, they will be blocked!

I'll share some of the info below:

Looks like they're trying to nuke the remaining privacy and freedoms we have left on the internet.

What to do?

-Get your developer friends to not comply to their new guides

- Sign the open letter on the site and take action by checking out the full resources list on their website as well!

To summarize, this is all daunting especially when you feel all alone with unfair and inhumane regulations comming out faster than improvements but we got this working together!

Share the link with your friends, family and anyone who will listen!

Your phone is about to stop being yours. In September 2026, Google will block every Android app whose developer hasn't registered with them.

i don’t understand how neil gaiman intellectual properties still trend on here so regularly he literally trafficked women. like it’s not even a discourse thing or a “he’s problematic” thing he was “cancelled” for human trafficking. he repeatedly isolated women, usually his or his ex-wife’s fans, with no support system for the purpose of raping them while they were dependent on him for income and housing. that’s human trafficking

How the heterosexuals are doing is always like, "well in this horror movie a terrifying and unknowable force of nature causes the two people, who find each other emotionally and physically attractive, to have sex, which is wrong." And creepy music plays to let you know how you should find any kind of sexual activity disturbing and deeply wrong.

[faustandfurious]

Too much focus on the idea of fiction media as a causative agent of real life harmful behaviour, and not enough emphasis on the idea that what you get out of a work of fiction is heavily dependent on how you approach said work of fiction.

I can root for Aragorn to become king of Arnor and Gondor within the parametres of the narrative of LotR, without in any way supporting real life absolute monarchy, because I’m not a real life monarchist, a conclusion I reached at some point in my early teens while also consuming a healthy diet of fantasy fiction where the hero was the long-lost heir to some kingdom. Meanwhile, royalists who glorify the concept of returning to some imagined heroic past in real life are of course going to have their ideas reinforced by LotR, precisely because they seek out narratives that support their preconceived notions. In neither case is LotR the causative agent. Every story is a story, but every story is also a vessel for the reader to fill with their own idea of what the story is saying.
