Another youtube anti-spiral tip, if you have a VPN, switch to Albania, a market Google hadn't monetised, so there's no adverts.
I turned off history on YouTube years ago meaning that, when I open it, it just shows me a completely blank page, instead of algorithmic recommendations, and sometimes that makes me feel like I live in an alternate universe
I find this incredibly jarring - personally, I watch very little on YouTube, and my children are banned from it. Unlike Netflix, Disney etc it's an uncurated swamp with a very real risk that you encounter the worst of the internet. How can that be the new Hollywood? www.ft.com/content/9e75...

I'm Lakota and I've seen the first one. I think James Cameron is a tool. He called us hopeless and said we have a dead end society but if our ancestors saw the future, they would have "fought harder"

Woke version of Kristi Noem saying there was "no hope" for Natives and talked down on our parents
Hi, Indigenous person here.

I've never seen any of the avatar movies, and after what James Cameron said about the Lakota people, I never will.
i don’t think everyone needs to like every film but the way people refuse to even take the avatar series seriously in any capacity feels so performative in a way no other series has ever been treated, very odd to me

In this #newblogpost, I discuss the relationship between Afrofuturism and Africanfuturism: how they help us understand and respond to law's inadequacy, dystopia, racial injustice, appropriation of trauma and the algorithmic racist bias of digital technologies.
