A ★★ review of The Lost Empire (1984)
The first shot of The Lost Empire clues you in to the rest of the film. A James Bond-type circle pans across the screen and opens out to reveal a large-chested blonde's cleavage. This lets you know th...

Technocapitalism screws over artists, writers and musicians. But what also screws them over, more and more, on a less widely discussed level, is the distraction culture that technocapitalism created, where people skim read everything and draw conclusions based on their eroded attention spans.

Saying this as head of HR is the reddest flag of red flags. Triangle Shirtwaist times are back, bitches.
While work-life balance may give you a sense of happiness and fulfillment, it isn’t always realistic, says Walmart executive vice president and chief people officer Donna Morris.
Walmart exec: ‘I’ve never believed in the term work-life balance’—this is the mantra that made her highly successful instead
Many professionals see work-life balance as a non-negotiable. Walmart CPO Donna Morris says people should practice work-life integration instead. Here's why.

I feel much safer today knowing that we deported a Babson College student back to a country where she hasn't lived since childhood.
She wasn't even flying internationally. She was flying to Texas.

Unbound, Substack... They're the writer's friends! Supporting the little guys! Smashing the system and offering viable alternatives! Look how much they are helping us with our art! So brave. And definitely *definitely* not cleverly conning writers into being evangelists for them for their own gain.
I'm not going back to Substack. I will continue to post my newsletters from Ghost. But I did have to get back in there, just to post this and let people who thought I'd vanished know about this utter nightmare: substack.com/home/post/p-...

This is called “chain refoulment” and it’s illegal under both U.S. and international law. And the State Department and ICE know very well what Ghana is doing and simply don’t care.
ICE deported a woman who owned a home in the US for 30 years. A judge banned ICE from deporting her to Sierra Leone where she had been tortured, so it deported her to Ghana, which kidnapped her and sent her back Sierra Leone anyway. ICE is part of this illegal conspiracy.

Horrifying tale of penalties and fines imposed on a self-employed writer who left Substack:

This has lost me thousands of pounds (not to mention book sales) and put me in a state of terror and panic. I urge anyone thinking of moving their list from Substack, or wanting to know more about how Substack works, to read it....
