Democratic Kampuchea (Cambodia) - 1978. Three French journalists (Irène Jacob, Grégoire Colin and Cyril Gueï) are invited by the Khmer Rouge to conduct an exclusive interview of the regime's leader, Pol Pot. The country seems ideal. But behind the Potemkin village, the Khmer Rouge regime is declining and the war with Vietnam threatens to invade the country. The regime is looking for culprits, secretly carrying out a large scale genocide. Under the eyes of the journalists, the beautiful picture cracks, revealing the horror. Their journey progressively turns into a nightmare.

Freely inspired by journalist Elizabeth Becker's account in When the war was over.

This is what voter suppression looks like.

I grew up in Missouri before moving to Washington state. When I reached voting age, it was (and still is) ridiculously common to see polling places in rural and suburban areas with no waiting to vote. Meanwhile, in the cities (which happen to vote more democratic), you’ll see loooong lines extending outside. When voting facilities and staff are not proportionally distributed to accommodate voter density, you get shit like this; voters in different districts receiving different treatment. And people who live there never know any better to ask for something different.

This all blew my mind after living first in a suburban area, then an urban one, and now living in a state that has done voting my mail for decades. I love voting by mail. It’s unconcionable to me at this point for people to stand for in-person voting anymore.

Seattle started the movement for a $15 minimum wage in 2014. It passed and was slowly phased in, finishing the rollout in 2021. It’s also aligned to inflation, so the current minimum wage (in 2024) is $20.76 per hour.

Any minimum wage legislation not tied to inflation is a half measure. Demand what you deserve.

I’m going to keep pointing this out until it becomes a part of the narrative.

The strategy of prominent Republicans flipping to vote for Harris is specifically designed to help Republicans win Congress.

If Republican voters are demoralized by the prospect of Trump, a lot are going to just stay home and not vote at all. That would lead to a Democratic electoral sweep.

Cheney, George Will and other Republican ghouls’ best option to avoid this is to give permission to their voting base to toss their Presidential vote to Harris, but also get them into the polls so they can be reliable Republican voters down the ticket and try to keep the House and take the Senate.

FFS, quit giving the enemy oxygen.

The solution is clear.

You must construct additional pylons.

The current generation of the ford mustang Mach-e has its mobile telemetry cellular antenna wired to an isolated fuse that you can just pull out to kill it. I was astonished to learn how straight forward the process is supposed to be.

Three cheers for Evergreen for taking the protest demands seriously and saying "Yeah, ok, that sounds fine." So everybody went home.

These are legitimate challenges that activitypub faces. I’m glad that they’re popping up like this so they can be observed, mitigated and planned for in the future.

There are a ton of reasons why audio mixes for movies are fraught with quality issues during home viewing, and "people have crappy equipment" is the weakest and lest-compelling of them.

The original photo is here is a pale imitation. The OG you're looking for is The Rollercoaster by Anatex Enterprises (of Los Angeles, CA).

Five unique, color differentiated wires of balls out, rail-riding, gravity-driven wooden bead mayhem. Though the blue wire barely counts. Its banal path is curt and uninspired; clearly an afterthought in both design and execution. F-tier. Green and orange make the entire experience worth it though.
