I was going through an old list of websites that I had registered on that had been found in data breaches.
I had already updated account password of important ones, especially anything that had data on me beyond an email. But I left the old ones alone, figuring why bother.
"I'm not worried about blockbusterexpress.com, it doesn't exist anymore." But when I went there I found that it was bought by Sling & is a front to my Sling account, that had been compromised. ARGHH

Ma come è possibile che un regista come #RonHoward si sia rincoglionito così tanto ?!? 😞
[#regista che ammetto di non avere amato, ma che in qualche modo almeno rispettavo]
Questo suo ultimo #eden non è un #film: è un #abominio
E dimostra pure come un cast di livello e tanti soldi, non bastino mai per fare un buon #film
Chiudo dicendo solo che è film di un pretenzioso inarrivabile
che non merita analisi, né commenti ulteriori
Solo l'oblio
L'immagine è un poster del film "Eden", diretto da Ron Howard. Il poster presenta un'atmosfera avventurosa e misteriosa, con un'ambientazione tropicale. Al centro, un uomo con una camicia marrone e una cintura, armato di un fucile, è circondato da quattro personaggi femminili e un altro uomo. La donna in rosso, con un abito elegante, è in primo piano a sinistra, mentre una donna con un abito chiaro è in secondo piano. Un uomo con occhiali e un fucile è visibile a destra. Sullo sfondo, si vede una spiaggia con un'isola e un iguana sulle rocce. Il titolo "Eden" è scritto in grandi lettere bianche al centro, con la frase "Benvenuti in Paradiso" in basso. Il poster è stato selezionato ufficialmente per il 42° Festival del Cinema di Torino.

This is small, but feels right.
I’ve been trying to use “enslaved” instead of “slave.” For example “enslaved people in America” or “enslaved labor.” I noticed many Black folks making this subtle change so I followed their cue.
I believe it matters because “slave” names someone by definition, whereby “enslaved” names their situation.
Would you rather be noted as a slave or a person who was enslaved?
(I’m writing a chapter in my book about this.)

![He was released from Rikers in 2013, but the pain and emotional toll he endured while locked up proved too difficult to bear. Browder committed suicide on Saturday at age 22, two years after his release.
New Yorker reporter Jennifer Gonnerman, who profiled Browder last year, visited his family this past weekend. She wrote:
That evening, in a room packed with family members, [Browder’s lawyer, Paul V.] Prestia said, “This case is bigger than Michael Brown!” In that case, in which a police officer shot Brown, an unarmed teen-ager, in Ferguson, Missouri, Prestia recalled that there were conflicting stories about what happened. And the incident took, he said, “one minute in time.” In the case of Kalief Browder, he said, “When you go over the three years that he spent [in jail] and all the horrific details he endured, it’s unbelievable that this could happen to a teen-ager in New York City. He didn’t get tortured in some prison camp in another country. It was right here!”
During his time at Rikers, Browder refused, on several occasions, to plead guilty in exchange for less jail time — he would await a trial.
But Browder never got his day in court. The man who had accused him of stealing a backpack years before had returned to Mexico, and refused to come back to testify. Without a complainant, there was no case. And without a case, there would be no lawful declaration of Browder’s innocence.](https://poliverso.org/photo/preview/640/52433585 "He was released from Rikers in 2013, but the pain and emotional toll he endured while locked up proved too difficult to bear.

Smart Illusions (9 Photos)
From a tunnel turned into a pair of binoculars to entire buildings camouflaged as architecture, these nine clever illusions show how artists are transforming urban surfaces into tricks for the eye. This collection features murals, 3D chalk art, and sculptural illusions from France to the United States—all blending art with environment in surprising ways.

1. “Le Mur des Canuts” — Lyon, France
A formerly blank façade becomes a hyperrealistic scene of staircases, buildings, greenery, and pedestrians in the massive trompe-l’œil mural Le Mur des Canuts. It transforms a plain wall into a realistic multi-level street. More photos and about the mural here!
2. “Trombone Player” by Tom Bob — New York, USA
Using yellow pipes as part of the design, the artist painted a large trombone on the wall and a cartoon character blowing into it. The real metal pipes serve as the instrument’s tubing. More photos here!More by Tom Bob!: 33 Artworks by Creative Genius Tom Bob (That Will Make You Smile)
3. 3D Street Art by Joe & Max — Gloucester, UK
A man appears to stand on the edge of a pit revealing ancient Roman columns and a mosaic pool. This chalk illusion creates the sense of a collapsed street opening into hidden ruins.More!: 9 Mind-Blowing 3D Street Art by Joe and Max
4. Tunnel Mural
A painted face with hands holding binoculars transforms two pedestrian tunnel openings into the lenses. People walking through the tunnel complete the illusion from a distance.

5. Natural Frame – Mural by Collettivo FX at the Pizzo Sella Art Village in Palermo
A black-and-white mural of two hands holding a camera turns a balcony doorway into a living photo. The window becomes the lens, perfectly framing a mountain view beyond.🔗 Follow Collettivo FX on Instagram
6. “CANNOT” Camera Sculpture by Biancoshock — Lodi, Italy
Discarded construction pipes and concrete blocks are painted to look like a broken DSLR camera labeled “CANNOT,” in a parody of Canon. The illusion works from a specific angle where the lens and viewfinder align. More photos here!
7. “Dream of Freedom” by Juandres Vera — Boulogne-sur-Mer, France
A girl sits in a surreal architectural cube, reading a book beside a puffin. The mural’s 3D design uses the building’s shape to create the illusion of depth. More photos and about the mural here!
8. Rooster Illusion by Odeith
A large anamorphic rooster appears to stand in the corner of an abandoned structure. The painting wraps around two walls and the floor, visible correctly only from one angle.More by Odeith!: Master of Illusion!: 19 Jaw-Dropping 3D Graffiti Pieces by Odeith
9. “Space and Time” by Eduardo Relero — Bochum, Germany
A chalk drawing of two old men sleeping on a giant bed includes a real person lying on top, blending reality and art. The illusion only works from a bird’s-eye perspective.More by Eduardo Relero!: Street Art by Eduardo Relero – A Collection
