Watching Hocus Pocus and I'm really paying attention to the fact that they wanted to "eat children to stay young forever/immortal" and thinking about the conspiracy theory that elites drink the blood of children to prolong life, I wonder if that is based on real life occult belief

The same kind of people who once hunted escaped slaves now wear ICE badges. History didn’t vanish, it rebranded.

Watching Coach Carter, I remember the story as it was unfolding in real time as a kid, I always get a different perspective everytime I watch it, it does encapsulates what's wrong with American values, not from the kids/players but from the adults that are supposed to guide them

Social media is very effective at creating sin-eaters. A sin-eater is different from an ephemeral main-character. It's a recurring "well would you look at that guy" person you see screenshotted on your feed constantly, who is meant to stand in for the evils of some larger group you dislike

I always felt like this was true but didn't know this was true, if they're not losing at least 20% of their net profit for shit like this then why would they not continue??

California bans streaming services from increasing audio levels during commercials

Gavin Newsom says:

“We heard Californians loud and clear, and what’s clear is that they don’t want commercials at a volume any louder than the level at which they were previously enjoying a program”

When this country finally admits that White people keep voting against their own best interests just to spite ours, we’ll finally get somewhere.

Funny how they’re fine with our taxes footing the bill, though.

and the companies loudly and actively trying to hire people right now...are the companies selling said tech and the PE companies buying up other companies.

Hard to overstate how dystopian it is for the government to be hiding crucial data about the employment market *losing* thousands of jobs per month while Wall Street pumps up the stock market by inflating values of companies selling tech that they openly promote as a way to eliminate even more jobs.

I know the news moves at faster-than-light speed now but it's worth remembering that the Trump Administration canceled the jobs report on Friday and is keeping it hidden from the public.

Meanwhile, the stock market continues to run at record highs as the AI bubble keeps inflating.
