"By letting Musk set the news cycle, he’s also allowed to set the political cycle. This is exactly what he wants."
Musk’s election interference is a serious threat.
But it can be challenged if governments use their powers and we stop letting the world’s richest man set the news and political agenda

This is a failure of democracy.
82% of the public want water back into public ownership, but we weren’t part of the decision.
Now we’re stuck bailing water companies out for decades of recklessness.
We need a new water system where everyone has a say.

I would've enjoyed the Interstella 5555 remaster much more if whatever upscaling tech they used hadn't decimated the lineart throughout most of the movie. In one scene a musician lost most of their face. Shame, the level of detail is what made me fall in love with it as a teenager.
