@A24@IMAX Seeing the limitations of #ImaxLive, when technical difficulties delayed the start time by a half hour, we just missed that bit. Couldn’t just start it later at the beginning ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
@DKThomp Not only do they design and manufacture the technology we use, it’s the democratic and *SOCIAL* ORGANIZATION OF LABOR - the whole point of socialism - that is the ~magic~ that China has figured out in order to rapidly industrialize + double their life expectancy in < a century
@kaleekreider@DKThomp 1stly, local public input in China surpassed the US. Local municipalities account for the overwhelming majority of state funds - rather than central planning at the national level, they distribute funds to regional governments with greater public accountability
@BSmithwood@kaleekreider@DKThomp Yea, if OSHA actually cared about workers more than employer insurance liabilities, they’d be amazed at the level of safety.
@TJSaboOfficial Commercialization of the arts and monopolization of curation and syndication already accomplished the worst fears of artists. Mass produced, soulless drivel in neat little boxes for consumption. A tool is just a tool at the end of the day.
@elem230 I wish I could answer that for you; but, alas, I’m merely a fan who just so happens to share his name. I’m also very into Soviet Cinema, and recall that Michael Nyman also scored Man With A Movie Camera! Let me know if you find a recording tho!
Supreme Court Justice Clarence Thomas has ties to insurrectionists via his wife Ginni Thomas and voted to overturn Roe v. Wade. Thomas says LGBTQ+ rights & contraception should be next.
SIGN THE PETITION: Justice Thomas must resign or be impeached! https://t.co/YqEyLQkm8A
The Ukraine war profit math:
US gives Ukraine $ 2 billion worth of free weapons to fight Russia.
Raytheon + $31.3 billion
Lockheed + $37.7 billion
Northrop + $19.2 billion
GeneralD + $15.5 billion
Return of investment: $101.7 billion
From just 4 of 25 US arms manufacturers!
@GSSPmusic @syntheticplanet Also, it’s not at all complimentary to a socialist framework as it does nothing to facilitate the Democratic control of workplaces. Capitalists still control the means of production. It’s just another subsidy for capitalists.
