I associate the movie so much with the visuals and score, I can’t imagine how it would have been originally written. A good reason to check out the book.

Stephen Yaxley-Lennon (aka Tommy Robinson) is funded by US tech billionaire Robert Shillman.

The tech industry at large is fascist, I would say https://fed.brid.gy/r/https://bsky.app/profile/did:plc:waplkqr2wuy2c4qbge6h6ed4/post/3mnult3hv4c2d

Which do you prefer among the two?

One of the best. Any others?

Place your bets everyone, which way do you think this will go?

1. Canada doesn’t pass the surveillance law

2. The law passes and some/all of Signal/DDG/NordVPN remain anyway

3. The law passes and they exit Canada

4. (something else)

I appreciate the warning, thank you!

Glad to hear they don’t rely on jump scares. They stress me out without adding anything to the movie. I might actually check this one out.

Why are we so bad at dealing with foreign interference, and our own citizens who collude?

“War criminal” is not a dirty word to those people, and it comes with rewards, not consequences. See UK and Tony Blair, for example.

The treaties are broken, purposely, and serve to keep First Nations people under the boot. Trudeau also denied there is structural racism problem in Canada, while the RCMP were harassing First Nation peoples over fishing quotas (this is a few years ago now). Can’t imagine Carney being any better.

Canada has no legitimate rule over nor ownership of First Nation people. It is not Canada’s place to say “mind your own business”.

As usual, the EU and Canada are talking over the heads of First Nations people. These are the first people who should be asked. Also, dear Canadians, please read this book to become a better settler:

As someone else mentioned[1] on Mastodon, open source is under threat due to AI - which the EU is also implementing[2].

Oh dear. It appears that whatever grooming operation the media companies are facilitating there is working.

I assumed this was available on https://www.watermelonpictures.com/films but it doesn’t seem to be there. I hope it makes it to other platforms.

We have proportional representation in our country. Specifically, it’s PR-STV (all implementations are not equal). It’s widely credited for keeping imported culture wars and hysterics at a lower level than other countries in the EU.

It’s not a silver bullet, but I would be afraid for any country that stays with FPTP in the the days of the dark-money-to-dark-algorithm pipeline were all witnessing.

I’m not British, but from the outside it seems the meeting could give an unpopular Starmer a saviour story he desperately needs, and an ID-based system would let big tech have its way with citizens: the algorithms tearing our societies apart remain unchallenged and profitable.

I hope one bad experience doesn’t spoilt it for him long term. Stay strong!

We should also be boycotting USA until they honour their treaties with the tribes.
