Yeah, there’s a post earlier today linked scientific studies demonstrating that people who follow Trump exhibit any number of psychopathic traits.
There’s that line from Susan Sontag, that 10% of people are cruel no matter what 10 are merciful, no matter what 80% can go either way..

Hypercapitalist hellhole or city of dreams? Behind the cliches, let me show you the real Dubai
Everyone’s got an opinion about the city. But few in the west know the multicultural, unusual Dubai that I’ve seen up close, says poet Momtaza MehriMomtaza Mehri (The Guardian)
Over Spike Lee’s more than 40 years of directing feature films, he has earned a reputation as a provocateur and a savvy self-promoter. His new movie, ‘Highest 2 Lowest,’ seeks to stage an entertaining morality play. Read a new interview with the director.

Our top story: Julián Castro’s case is symbolic of a broader trend in Texas politics in which Democrats’ leading Hispanic political talent has opted against running for higher office.

I was gonna make a follow-up. It started with: "Copaganda film. But at the 30 minute mark the protagonist cop realizes he's just a tool of the ruling class..."
And seriously, are there no films like this?
NOT a film where the cop realizes there's other bad cops, fights them, but continues being a cop at the end of the movie.
I mean a film where the cop protagonist COMPLETELY STOPS being a cop. I can't recall one off the top of my memory right now...

PS:
Robocop: Yes, the message of the movie is indeed anti-corporate and anti-police-ish... But I'm not sure he STOPS being a cop.
Blade Runner: Is Deckard an actual cop to begin with?
Serpico (Spoilers?): Doesn't he die a cop? I guess that counts as stopping being a cop but ouch.
Chappie: this might actually be one of the best answers?
Star Wars: It's a stretch. Maybe. But Star Wars can be almost anything we want at this point.

No one mentioned Mad Max. This makes me heart ache.
Though he didn't exactly realize he was a tool of the ruling class. One could say his madness comes from having no masters even.
Serpico retired 2 years after the Knapp Commission. The movie ends with him heading to testify I think.
He did get ambushed and shot in the face but he survived that shit.
So I think that one might be about as close as you get. Dude didn't even stay in the USA, but that's not in the movie either.

I’m glad I built my #Fediverse communities on #Piefed—because they’re rolling out a “move community” feature.
If site admins go toxic or a server is circling the drain, you won’t be trapped. You can just pick up and move elsewhere.
That’s the Fediverse’s killer feature, the one corporate social media can never match: the freedom to walk away.

Ich bin einfach ein schrecklicher Mensch. Dazu einsam, ohne Familie und ohne echte Freunde. Niemand, wenn ich jemanden brauchen könnte und ich meine nicht nur online.
Das Bild zeigt eine animierte Darstellung eines Mannes mit einem schwarzen Kapuzenpullover und einer Brille. Er hat eine traurige Miene und eine Träne auf seiner Wange, was auf eine emotionale Reaktion hinweist. Der Mann trägt eine silberne Ohrring und hat einen kurzen Bart. Der Hintergrund ist weiß, was den Fokus auf das Gesicht des Mannes lenkt.

I’m looking for recommendations to replace Meetup as a tool for organizing monthly meetings for a group that I’m a member of. Ideally, not run my oligarch wannabes, and reasonably priced (if not free).
Any suggestions?
Boost for visibility? I couldn’t think of appropriate hashtags!

ngl i hate following tags on mastodon: my home page instantly becomes a trash bin.
The image shows a pair of hands holding a clear, cylindrical plastic vase against a light wooden surface. The vase is empty and transparent, allowing the hands to be clearly visible. To the right of the vase, there is a red rose with green leaves and small white flowers, suggesting a floral arrangement. The background includes a blue patterned fabric with white swirls, adding a decorative element to the scene. The hands have neatly manicured nails with a light pink polish, and the overall composition is well-lit, highlighting the vase and the floral elements.
