Microfilms used to be sold as having a life expectancy of up 500 years. But in my experience they were a pain to use and the machines costly to maintain. The films would tear regularly too. Also the quality of the recorded image could be very poor sometimes.
The rehabilitation of wealthy and powerful people with a disgusting past happens, not with fanfares and explicit exposition, but with gradual normalisation.
They are given platforms on respected media. Their opinion is sought on the current bête noire. They are given all this oxygen without ever having to account for their sins. All they have to do is play nice and rigidly follow the establishment consensus. Soon enough, once a commensurate (to the sins) amount of news cycles passes they’ll be dignitaries again.
Precluding Jack Burton: In what universe does a truck driver take out three trained soldiers in a gun fight. The quality of those soldiers must be fairly low.
I remember enjoying Phase IV. But it’s pacing was slow. At the time I thought that the ending had more compelling sci-fi chops than the rest. So it would have been better to trim the movie down to half it’s length; put that ending in the middle of the movie; then progress the story from that point.
The usual cycle of tech-bro capitalism would put them currently on the early acquire market saturation stage. So it’s unlikely that they are currently charging what they will when they are established and have displaced lots of necessary occupations.
That’s such a Kissinger frame of mind.
Order with injustice over justice with chaos (sic).
Augustus! Save some room for later.
100%? Yes, Citizens United has poured petrol on the ability of large aggregations of money to undemocratically influence election outcomes; and yes some of those aggregations are unconcerned with the wellbeing of American people. But are people that are voicing concerns about AIPAC (given that it represents an appartite state currently brutally escalating a decades old genocide, that wants to silence any political voices that are critical of it) actually antisemitic? Because the comment you rated as 100% seems to be furthering AIPACs goal.
It’s as if they read about Breonna Taylor’s murder and concluded that black people shouldn’t think that stand your ground laws apply to them but the important lesson is that killing is wrong.
Come to Ireland, birthplace of y’all, we got all sorts of words for youse.
Unfortunately not.
Are you me? You forgot to mention that she gets up to pee 5-6 times a night. Which is what often really wakes her up but she’s in too a belligerent mood to admit.
I’d have thought that the emphasis is on the 40 brands vs 3-4 companies. So the theme is partially the illusion of choice but mostly it underlines the inherent problems with current capitalism.
Increasingly your money is being funneled into fewer and fewer hands. While marketing/advertising maintain the illusion of diverse companies with individual character/ethos.
This combination is repeated in some form or other time and again.
He doesn’t know he’s a priest!

It still works. Most of the apps are borked. Windows Explorer hasn’t been updated in 5+ years so doesn’t work with most sites. Baconit escaped reddit’s 3rd party app purge and still works. Imgur still works well but with all the genX on it reminds me of icanhazcheezeburger.
Kinda relevant: from the latest Private Eye. Just a little insight to the background of the people pushing for this outcome.
The Heritage Foundation who would have guessed it would be in the mix.
