TIL that Haiti was the first country to recognize Greek independence. Hait was struggling under the weight of the debt that France imposed on it for deigning to free themselves, so they sent 25 tons of coffee for Greece to sell to help them fund their independence.

We showed the start of this battle last week. Here's the end of it.

The Titan Frigates have successfully dispatched the Pirate Frigates. You can see some physicalized destruction of the enemy ships.

Most of John Woo's and Jackie Chan's catalogue was available only at Asian video stores which duped the films from PAL to VHS for rental (which was legal at the time).

HEAVY METAL only occasionally showed up on late night paid cable and could only be watched on recordings of those showings.

throwing this prompt from Twitter in here. what examples you got?

tweet by @Caol_MacCormaic that reads, uncs of film twitter: what are some movies that are canonical now but were basically unknown when we were coming up? like Come and See or Possession. inversely: what are some movies or filmmakers that seem to have fallen off? (Takashi Miike comes to mind)

She dedicated her win to Trump. Again, this is not the better person you wish her to be.

Tweet from Maria Corin Machado:

This recognition of the struggle of all Venezuelans is a boost to conclude our task: to conquer Freedom.

We are on the threshold of victory and today, more than ever, we count on President Trump, the people of the United States, the peoples of Latin America, and the democratic nations of the world as our principal allies to achieve Freedom and democracy.

I dedicate this prize to the suffering people of Venezuela and to President Trump for his decisive support of our cause!

Seeing Ms. Rachel say exactly what needs to be said to Obama is so damn refreshing

Dear President Obama,
I saw in your statement you said "Israeli families" & "the people of Gaza."
Palestinians have families, too.
This kind of language contributes to dehumanization. Dehumanization is part of what caused so many to stay silent as 20,000 children were killed in this genocide.
I've sat with wonderful Palestinian families from Gaza. They look at their children just like we look at ours - with all the love & hope in the world.
Love,
Ms Rachel

Charlie Kirk was a terrible person, but his prowess at organizing was astonishing.

Democrats, progressive and moderate, are using tactics from the 1970s.

Republicans spend hundreds of millions on networking, jobs, and outreach every year. Democrats waste their money on obsolete stuff.

Charlie Kirk was a religious extremist and an advocate for mass censorship of academics he hated.

But as a political organizer and creator of opportunities for his comrades, there's much that can be learned from what he did. @matthewboedy.bsky.social discusses on the latest Theory of Change

What Charlie Kirk knew

The slain co-founder of Turning Point was a masterful political organizer—and a religious extremist

They say they want new things in fantasy, then authors from marginalized groups do new things, but they don't like that, they want the new thing to be like the old thing except new.

What they really want is a book to rewind time and make them young again, something no book or anything else can do.

Some folks can't see the fascism, and so they have false optimism that causes them not to act against it.

Other folks see the fascism, and they feel so hopeless that they don't act against it.

What we need is a combination of the ability to see things honestly as well as to be empowered.

I don't think you can beat fascism non violently and we're pretty fucked until we realize that. I'll put it more simply: if there's bad guys that the rules don't apply to, how do you expect to stop them only through the legally allowed means of resistance?

Portland is leading the way. This is how you (non violently) beat Fascism. Humor and ridicule are key.

LMAOOOOO

A bunch of comedians tried to make up for their participation in the Riyadh comedy festival by donating their pay to Human Rights Watch and Human rights Watch was like “nah bitch we don’t want your dirty blood money” 😂😂 I’m dying

Human Rights Watch Doesn’t Want Any Riyadh Comedy Festival Money

Taking money from those who took money from Saudi Arabia would impact perception of the org’s independence.
