I work with archival films, and I'm going to start posting some of the interesting things I run across.

Ok but what would be the funniest thing he’d try and rename it?
He’s going to order it changed on the maps, just like he did for the Gulf of Mexico

Because in a democracy it is your only way. If the public hates your guts and you’re about to lose an election authoritarianism is your only option to cling to power. That It’s not a stable long-term strategy doesn’t really enter into that calculus
How is it that so many people think that authoritarianism is a way to bypass completely public opinion?

After over 2 years, they managed to track down a never used D1 play head and have been able to recover all 4 seasons at pixel accurate quality. What a great story.

Big props to @linusmediagroup.com for being part of this.

Let's do sandwiches!

Tell me your favourite sandwich. Bread, wrap, sauces, toppings, fillings, all of it.

I love fried portabella and roasted red peppers, dill Havarti, ajvar, on toasted crusty bread.

Also love grilled cheese sandwiches lol

*do not be rude about other peoples' toppings*

The concept of posting “Canada is not considering a ban of X” as a QUOTE of your post condemning deepfake sexual abuse happening **ON X** of women and kids………….

I am deeply not looking forward to what would happen to this site with the influx that would follow
BREAKING: The UK Government is working with Canada and Australia to launch a coordinated ban on X, per the Telegraph

But if you're in the mood for something a little more militant, here's a 1939 victory bond parade from Lethbridge, Alberta. These people were ready to fight! Scanned from 16mm film

This wheel is to the boy squirrel the way that the football is to Charlie Brown and it still makes me laugh every time he tries to use it only to be immediately spun.

BTW. This is the most likely version what a hypothetical invasion of Canada would look like.

We’d wake up, the government would be toppled, and we’d all have to make choices about what comes next.

”It fucking comes in pints”
The Lord of The Rings movies were rated PG-13. By current rules that means that each film could contain one use of the word "Fuck". Which line are you altering to insert the most useful swear word?

"I can't carry it for you, but I can Fucking carry you"

Tis the season for an old Christmas clip. Here's a moment from Christmas in 1938! I love how recognizable everything is, even 87 years later. Scanned from 8mm film

Happy holidays!

Once you’re reality-optional in one part of your thinking, everything is up for grabs. Faced with the choice between having to come back to reality about fluffy woo beliefs, or dive down the full conspiracy rabbit hole, most people will choose to go full lunatic
This is strictly a personal observation from living in LA, but RFK scares me so much because otherwise orthodox liberals with a woo food and chemicals streak are being converted into lunatic conservatives.
SCOOP: Academy Award-nominee Liam Neeson narrated a recent anti-vaccine documentary that glorifies RFK Jr.’s rise to power.

In the film, Neeson—a UNICEF Goodwill Ambassador—calls the COVID-19 vaccines “dangerous experiments.”

The divide between how Canadians see the U.S. and how our political/business leaders see them is wild. It’s one of the biggest divides in perspective I have ever seen. Canadians are clear eyed. Our leaders are not.

This is among the most democratically dangerous things Danielle Smith has said.

She wants to remove all checks and balances on her power and projects herself as the embodiment of "the people."

We have left the realm of liberal democracy in this province.
Smith doubled down on her anti court rhetoric today...

She even seemed to suggest that federally appointed judges couldn't render impartial rulings and that she believed her interpretation should always be above theirs.
