In Ghana 🇬🇭 when posters can't be imported, local artists will bootleg them to the best of their abilities. Some often are more imaginative than the official studio releases.

#JamesBond sets out to stop a media mogul's plan to induce a war between China and the United Kingdom.

"A Genocidal Special Relationship" by Carlota McAllister

"Israel used Guatemala’s genocide not only as a platform for asserting itself as a minor imperial power and a profit center for its military and associated industries but also as a proving ground for anti-Indigenous counterinsurgency. In return, Guatemala has numbered among Israel’s most loyal international allies. Not only did Guatemala move its embassy to Jerusalem in 2017, but it also voted alongside a tiny number of nations to protect Israel from condemnation in the early stages of the latest bombardment of Gaza."

I found myself nodding along furiously while reading Ed Zitron's "Never Forgive Them". An instant classic of critical technology appreciation:

https://www.wheresyoured.at/never-forgive-them/

The only criticism I have is that he's merely highlighting one small part of the enshittified technology experience: That of the adult USian consumer.

That's a valid perspective of course, but there are SO MANY OTHER PEOPLE, for whom tech is infinitely worse still. (Type "facebook rohingya" into your search engine of choice.)

Never Forgive Them

In the last year, I’ve spent about 200,000 words on a kind of personal journey where I’ve tried again and again to work out why everything digital feels so broken, and why it seems to keep getting worse, despite what tech’s “brightest” minds might pr…

I have music on most of the time, but I don't _listen_ to music. (It's overwhelmingly instrumental, for one thing.) So I'm #listening to _Department Store Christmas_ on #SomaFM, and one of the songs started with what I would swear was the theme from the 1954 TV version of _Sherlock Holmes_ with Ronald Howard and Howard Marion-Crawford. It changed after a few seconds, but it was most odd. #ChristmasMusic

If I had like four hundred dollars for every time someone with immigrant parents asked about getting their citizenship with their parent’s country instead of just relying on US citizenship since trump was elected, I could probably buy one of those golden passports

The general vibe would be that this country is Fucking Cooked. That day without an immigrant is not gonna be pretty.

It’s not overstating that due to #ClimateChange there will be a mass migration the likes humanity has never seen before, and whichever country harnesses this phenomenon will be the world leader for the next few centuries.

Spain is committing to normalizing 300,000 immigrants annually. The US is doing the opposite. We’ll see the dividends this will pay for Spain for decades while oligarchs continue to pillage the US people and scapegoat immigrants.

AI’s emissions are about to skyrocket even further

Data center emissions have tripled since 2018. As more complex AI models like OpenAI’s Sora see broad release, those figures will likely go through the roof.

Third Time Is The Charm

Happy Hour News Per the AP, With hours to go before a midnight government shutdown, the House approved a new plan from House Speaker Mike Johnson that would temporarily fund federal operations and disaster aid, but dropped President-elect Donald Trump’s demands for a debt limit increase into the new year. So, the 4th Reich did not get what they wanted, and neither did we, but we also kept the government open.

Hello, it's been a while so I figured it was a good time for a re-introduction! I'm Megan, I enjoy posting random glimpses into my life and the thoughts that accompany them, as well as boosting bits I enjoy.

I'm into:
- fiber arts (knitting, crochet, cross-stitch)
- security engineering
- learning what I can
- a general love of cats, goats, and sheep
- nature
- Everquest 2

Looking forward to meeting new people and finding old friends here.
