"Without a Face" (1996) is literally about the hardships undocumented immigrants go through, so it's not surprising Morello is against sending federal troops to protect ICE and deport immigrants.

The first lyric: "Got no card so I got no soul."

It is a real delight enjoying music with the younglings. Funnily enough some of their stuff is a bit poppy for my tastes but we're getting there 😉

Big son just introduced me to this. It may not be shoegaze but it is influenced by shoegaze. The kids, channeling their elders. It makes me happy. open.spotify.com/track/31JFXs...

Sometimes there's so much beauty in the world,... I feel like I can't take it. And my heart is just going to cave in.

Do we need Imax? 70mm? VistaVision? All I need to watch movies at the cinema is darkness and quiet | Larry Ryan

Cinema used to be an accessible and affordable mass pursuit. This debate about the ‘purest’ format to view certain films only risks putting off movie-goers, says freelance writer and editor Larry Ryan

OpenAI’s Sora puts a watermark on its videos but not enough people know what it means.

To complicate matters, people have built tools to easily remove and (oddly) add a Sora watermark. Sharing real videos with an AI watermark can make for a funny joke, but it also really fucks with the landscape.

There should be an AI labeler if there isn't already.

That TikTok account has a few fake videos of reporters getting detained. They make these videos because it’s a big story in the news. Real reporters are getting arrested. And so people are making AI videos to get engagement on TikTok.
