    I have a redmi note 11 and I find they work really well for being in that price range. Only downside is you need to get it drop shipped because they aren't sold in North America, and the band comparability isn't the same so the signal can be a little weak.

    All the talk about TIFF cancelling the documentary about Russian soldiers is breaking my brain. It's not enough that the documentary is already pro Ukraine by showing the Russian soldiers become disillusioned with the war, anything that shows Russians as human beings cannot be allowed in Western media. Knowing kkkanada they would gladly show a documentary humanizing Nazis but Russians are a bridge too far

  • This album came up in a discussion of worst album covers of all time, and rightfully so. I don't want to name the band because they're not lying, Wikipedia is seriously fighting to keep this album cover uncensored and accessible. This isn't some edgy underground band either it's a very popular band from the 70s/80s. It's insane how normalized this pedophilic behaviour was and is in the music scene. I know this might count as low hanging fruit because it's some random on a website, but I'm trying to dunk more on the actual concept here which I am obviously not linking to.

    1. FromSoftware because if Dark Souls 2 is your worst game (by popular opinion) in the last 15 years you're doing a good job. Sekiro is also my favourite combat system in any game.

    2. Remedy, I love their use of mixed mediums with FMV scenes like Dr. Darling's tapes in Control. Alan Wake 2 is also a masterpiece of a game and I love how far they push what they are able to do in each game.

    3. Paradox because no one does map game and number go up like they do. Victoria 2 is the first game I played from them and I've played everything since (the only map game I don't like is HOI4)

    Maybe I'm an outlier, but I feel like all these games from the golden years, (FF7, RE2, SH2, MGS3) etc. don't need remakes and are fine as is.
  • Kaputnik Kaputnik 3mo ago 100%

    I think RE2 and RE4 remakes hit the sweet spot of being accurate enough to the original while also being new enough that it's not just a cashgrab. They're different enough that other than being named remakes they're essentially different games, especially RE2 which is radically different than RE2 remake.

    And not in a good way. The movie is written by Nick Pinkerton, who I've never heard of before but is apparently associated with the Red Scare Pod in some way. The movie is a mumblecore surrealist comedy loosely based on Alice in Wonderland, where the main character travels through different parts of the United States and meets different characters. It's got some funny parts and it held together well enough in the beginning but it starts to drag by the second vignette and really starts to broadcast where it leans politically. The main character essentially acts listlessly throughout the entire movie and calls things and people ableist slurs. While other characters are supposed to...I guess represent different political positions in the US? I don't really know what the point was meant to be, but the vibe is "caring about things is dumb". There's four main vignettes which boil down to the following: ::: spoiler spoiler 1. A group of anarchists that never actually profess any political beliefs besides not working and eating food from the garbage. The main anarchist character is immediately shown to b a sex pest and the group then goes out to a field to fight Nazis that aren't there. (This is the only representation of the political left in the movie) 2. An academic Nazi who takes in our main character and lets her live in his house. He is given ample time to espouse his ideas and does not attempt to sleep with the main character which is shown to be a big deal. She lives with him as a tradwife for some time, and is like happy with it I think? But eventually runs away 3. Two New York film makers who are making a period piece. Sorry I really don't know what this one was trying to say it just felt random, but the film shoot ends when Nazis shoot everyone. 4. An Arabic guy who saves the main character from the shooting, but oh no! It turns out he's locking her away to be his wife and also he lives in a terrorist training camp. And then finally the writer of the movie shows up as a Catholic monk to save the main character and talk about miracles for some reason. ___ ::: Maybe I don't get it because I don't really vibe with this kind of art. But genuinely this movie was pretty boring and it feels gross when you know the politics behind it. I will give them credit though, I was anticipating a TERFy joke the entire movie and I didn't catch one.

    If you're into the idea of a John Wick esque action movie where Dev Patel fights the BJP and RSS then I really recommend this. It doesn't outright name the BJP but it's pretty obvious. It's also got some good commentary on land seizures, along with the treatment of indigenous and Muslim communities in India. Also some good representation of the Hijra community which I haven't seen mentioned in much Western media

    I was laughing super hard throughout this movie and I think it'd go over well here, it has a similar sense of humour to a lot of we post. It's also great to see something unapologetically queer that's not just a sad or serious movie

    So the Canadian government passed a law in June that would require Meta and Google to pay news organizations for news content that is featured on their websites. Essentially acting as a kind of "link tax" for tech companies, justified by the use of content from these news organizations that appears on Facebook, Instagram, and Google (thumbnails, bylines, etc). In response Meta has blocked all Canadian news from appearing on their websites along with non-news websites from Canada like The Beaverton and Walking Eagle News (The Canadian and Indigenous versions of the Onion). You can read more here: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Online_News_Act https://www.parl.ca/legisinfo/en/bill/44-1/c-18 So I can see potential pros and cons of this legislation. Pros: I hate Google and Meta and this will make them lose money which I'm always a fan of. This could help news organizations that have more leftist or more Indigenous focused reporting fund their work, considering those organizations don't have much funding to begin with in Canada. The current blocking of news on Meta could help move people away from getting their news on there from sites like The Rebel It will help ensure the survival of Canadian based news and help stave off even more American corporate and cultural hegemony over the country Cons: The majority of the money from this program will go towards the Postmedia owned news networks and further entrench their neoliberal worldview What do you think about the bill?
