I kind of miss movie rental stores. If there was a ten year old movie that I wanted to watch, chances are it would still be on the shelves of a Blockbuster, etc.
There is no legal way to stream the movie I've been looking for because it's been delisted from Canadian streaming sites.

Energy transitions can happen faster than we think:

In 2000 almost 90% of Denmark's electricity was from fossil fuels.

In 2024 less than 10% of Danish electricity was from fossil fuels.

One of my first journalism professors would give you a zero if you had even one error of fact. It happened to me. Sucked so much. He was one of the best professors I ever had, I took three more classes from him, and we’re still in touch

Years ago, my colleagues at Business Insider and I tracked YouTuber “cancellation” arcs. What we found is that for many entertainers, “cancellation” actually sets the stage for a redemption arc, one that can raise their profile higher than ever. It wasn’t career-ending. It was fuel.

Jeeves and Wooster really is the model for what to do with rich people, have what’s effectively a live-in nanny watch over them while they keep busy trying to steal a policeman’s helmet

rich dudes got freakier after butlers fell out of fashion, like say what you will about having domestic servants but clearly it was some sort of moderating force on old rich dudes having a fancy man follow you around saying shit like "oh dear sir, that wouldn't be very becoming"

It’s a fact that nobody in positions of power is willing to risk eroding their own power by doing anything meaningful to hinder the worst of their colleagues they see the system they preside over as more important than any cruelty no matter how bad and they won’t risk weakening it so much as an iota

The DC shooting story is really getting to me because we literally trained this man as a child soldier for a death squad in a forever war and Stephen Miller et al want to blame it on other cultures? It's our culture, American culture, that killed that woman.

While the right lose their goddamn minds about a lone wolf doing something horrendous in DC today, let’s not forget that last week in the White House they all gushed over a genocidal, journalist murdering tyrant whose country financed 9/11.

Wild how we have studies to show that hoarding wealth and being ultra rich literally poisons your brain, and we can observe how selfish behavior is treated in other species (literal shit like banishment, murder, coups) but in humans we have to remind others how dangerous it is for us to let happen

AI isn’t like fossil fuels, it isn’t something the industrialists and governments pushed on to a broadly receptive society that was only later discovered to have been something deeply damaging, we actively don’t want it right now, at its birth, and our ‘democracies’ don’t give a single solid shit

An ICE agent was caught removing a sign marking an ICE kidnapping in DC last week! Do we think he did it out of anger, embarrassment, or most appropriately shame? If you think what you’re doing is right, why are you trying to hide the evidence? 👀

Anyone who claims Ru seeks compromise when it pursues diplomacy is either uninformed/naive about Ru or simply pro-Russian. It's that stark.
