"So, in a way, humor is what saved my life, and that is political, always." For @ebertvoices.bsky.social, I spoke with the Pope of Trash himself, John Waters!

The Pope of Trash talks about Roger Ebert, the breadth of his film references, and two of his classics coming to Criterion.

The hunger strike that detainees at Delaney Hall Detention Center are maintaining despite violent repression from ICE is only one of several hunger strikes taking place in detention centers around the country. Do you live near one of them? If you do, you could help spread resistance on the outside.
SUPPORT THE HUNGER STRIKES

One year ago, four detainees broke walls and escaped from Delaney, taking
cover in a protest outside. Now detainees are on strike, and hundreds of us are
building barricades to prevent ICE from transferring them. Now, hunger
strikes are spreading at detention centers across the country.

MN Torrance County 
Detention Facility, NM
MN Adelanto Facility, CA 
MN Desert Annex, CA 
Prairieland Detention Center, TX 
Northlake, MI 
Delaney Hall, NJ 

They push from inside, we push from outside.
Together, we can break down the walls.

Anyone have a colour kobo and able to speak to text resolution/crispness compared to the b&w? I hear they’re less sharp but I don’t know if that’s like a Thing or just some nurds nitpicking.

Have you, like me, spent the last 26 years worrying if the Canadian Potato Museum STILL has the display of various potato diseases with potatoes in little coffins? Stop worrying. I checked today. Still there.

I've said this before, but one of the major social effects of AI has been to enable a massive spam attack on essentially every open portal in our entire society. (Some haven't been discovered yet, but give it time.)

This is very bad. Much worse than this article depicts. It could seriously require very serious changes to the court system. This is kind of the DDOS attack theory of AI.

Gonna be vulnerable for a moment here: The worst part of struggling with my mental health for decades is all the friendships that fell apart. I miss them all and my heart aches for every friend who now walks a different road, in a different world, lost to me.

All the anti-war and anti-occupation protestors were right. All the far leftists were right. All the “woke scolds” and your friend who’s “too woke” were right. They were somehow even more right than they may have realized at the time. But really, it was always obvious they were right.

He honestly did a great job directing his own work in a different medium. It's an engaging and visually rich effort, Roth and Oldman nail the lead performances leading a solid ensemble cast, and the use of Pink Floyd's "Seamus" in an instrumental (but still with dog!) mix as the theme is inspired.
