Swindled's The Mix-Up is an audio-only podcast episode, recounting an environmental disaster in Michigan caused by a chemical plant screwing up and contaminating animal feed.

Jack Black, unfortunately, is only good in certain roles and characters, and you can't simply stick him in a movie and expect it to be elevated - not a good movie, anyway.

You're supposed to be able to, but I got the still-annoying error chime and an extremely unhelpful "failed to set name" every time I tried. I have the same peripherals for my laptop and desktop, and sometimes they get swapped around so they have both in their devices list.

Comment on Wallet voting in ~life
Hollow Link...isn't this voting with your wallet?You cannot vote with your wallet. Or rather, you can, but you will lose that vote. Wallet-votes always go to the people with the thickest wallets, and statistically, that is not you.
(...)
Make consumption choices that improve your life and the lives of people you love. Support your local bookstore, buy online from libro.fm and bookshop.org – not because this will break Amazon's monopoly power (for that we will need unionization, antitrust, and tax enforcement), but because when you shop at those stores, you make a difference to the lives of the people who operate those stores, who pay decent wages and don't maim their warehouse workers....isn't this voting with your wallet?

This time around he's very clearly been given support, an agenda (Project 2025) with steps to carry out, and subordinates who are ideologically motivated and relatively unified (different grops being unified in one of two or three mutually contradictory directions).

I also find Kimmel himself quite hard to like as a host. But the reasoning here is such obvious BS.

To fill in some info on China's social credit score in daily life: China has many 'shared' services. You can rent a bicycle, a power bank, even a moped, and only be charged when you return it to a charger/parking spot. This would go horribly wrong in most countries due to people not returning or vandalising them, so when you rent the system looks at your renting record and decides whether or not you need to pay a deposit, or I assume deny service.

Hollow LinkWhereas today on the other hand...At this time, the 1830s, the trading of palm oil was worth more than slaves and abolitionists argued that Britain should keep a presence in Africa in order to promote the legitimate, lucrative and more ethical trade in palm oil to the local tribes, rather than slaves.

Oh, it's emotionally heavy alright - I probably should have included a content warning actually. I meant in comparison to Veritasium, it's a smaller scope and shorter timeline work that's easier to digest (like PBB, which is unfortunately too digestible).
