I interviewed one of these factory workers in Los Angeles. She gets paid three cents to sew a zipper, five cents for a collar, and seven cents to prepare the top part of a skirt.

This is how fast fashion brands like Fashion Nova can put "Made in USA" tags on dress shirts that retail for only $25

...they only tangentially mention the events of Legacy, so there is zero closure for the plotline. I'm not even sure Ares was intended to be canon. 🙃

But I can see where and how missing puzzle pieces could fit to make it work. Mostly.

No. No. No.

(Nothing against Steven, I used to do this too until I learned that it was a bad idea.)

Swim goggles hit by a projectile (like a tear gas canister or pepper ball) can direct force to the area around your eyeball and pop it out of your skull.

NOT desirable.

🐧 Puffin fact #2: Puffins are amazing flyers. They flap their wings up to 400 times a minute, reaching speeds of 55 mph. Underwater, they “fly” through the sea to chase fish!

Don't know what else to add that doesn't spoil anything. Lots of Easter eggs and throwbacks to the original. I appreciate the addition to the canon.

FINISH THE STORYLINE BEFORE JEFF BRIDGES DIES PLEASE. Tho, if ever there was a movie for using likeness AI, with permission/compensation, Tron is it 😶

The very long intro to the movie felt slapped together, almost like a music video. It does get better once the story actually starts.

Jared Leto was ...inoffensive, mostly bc he didn't quite capture that spark of deviation from directive sentience that Tron and Quorra had as programs.

I didn't know what to expect with Tron: Ares, same as I didn't know what to expect from Legacy. They're both very much Tron movies.

Ares' story was a bit better than Legacy, but Legacy was so much more polished, Legacy was better implemented.

During a military-style raid on a building in Chicago’s South Shore, one resident heard a knock on his door. 

It wasn’t the feds —  it was a mom and her 7-year-old daughter, pleading for help.

He let them hide in his unit for the next 3 days.

People who act confused by Hamas' desire to free Barghoti are bizarre to me, Hamas wants him out even though he isn't Hamas affiliated because they believe he is one of the few, or maybe even the only, individuals who can unite the whole of Palestinian factions under the PLO

We’ve reported extensively on how the FDA allowed foreign drugmakers to send generic medications to the U.S. from factories with filthy labs and contaminated equipment.

This month, we’re digging deeper and could use your help. THREAD/

I have seen the Starfleet Academy trailer and as far as the copious make outs go all I see are straight people being straight

ICE is in red states. And they're working with local and state police to disappear children.

Despite his mother reporting him missing, Houston police worked with ICE to put a 15 yo autistic teen in a refugee camp for unaccompanied minors.

Don't they intentionally do this so the when something goes sideways they have plausible deniability?

As a protest optics nerd love about the inflatables is how much they visually disrupt and pull focus from the fascist shock imagery Noem & Miller are trying to create.

So many of these photos now look like the world's silliest dance party, backgrounded by a bunch of guys in uniform looking awkward

Oh, I see why they tend to flock: their bootlicking is so intense it creates a field that draws in surrounding sycophants....

Disconnected from reality via extreme wealth and self-indoctrinated with their own invented technobabble...

Techbrahs are not normal.

lest anyone think the girlfriend line was a hilarious joke I concocted...

It is pretty galling that the Supreme Court spent four years telling Biden "you can't do that without Congress" then allowed Trump to seize a once-unthinkable amount of power from Congress within nine months and concentrate law-making authority almost entirely in the executive branch.

The Speaker of the House has firm views that Bad Bunny is a terrible pick for singing at the Super Bowl, but hasn't had time to watch the President's speech to our military leadership or form an opinion whether furloughed federal workers should be paid or Illinois' governor should be thrown in jail.

Texas AG Ken Paxton hired a former staffer to work on a recent case. As a state employee, her labor would have cost taxpayers $641.

As a private attorney, Paxton allowed her to bill $3,780 an hour, so that day of work cost taxpayers $24,570.

One of the reasons they're having trouble concocting a Left Wing Terrorism epidemic is basically nobody in this country has ever met a left wing person. You might as well say we're being invaded by the smurfs
