Haven’t read it but I trust Clara Mattei enough as both an academic & activist to endorse her new book ‘Escape from Capitalism.’ Like, I challenge anyone to find a more accessible yet PACKED&concise introduction to socialism than this interview on its own youtu.be/9M_dq_0ljsc?si=csWv…

BREAKING: Benjamin Netanyahu says that America deserved 9/11 during his speech at the UN General Assembly
Readers added context they thought people might want to know
The video is cropped out of context. Netanyahu was quoting Hasan Piker, who said America deserved 9/11 on one of his streams.

“You are trots… *leaves*”
The Scavenger (除暴之路), out on iqiyi, is Qin Pengfei's newest starring Liu Fengchao. He grapplefucks his way through goons to save his sister from evil Kpop execs.
It's cool, I think it's rare to see this kind of modern chinese DTV where the MC has a distinct fighting style.

To make the image feel bigger, Sergio Leone chose a smaller negative.
The price was a tiny 2-perf TechniScope negative: more grain and less fine detail.

Visa to Hell [1992]
Directed By: Dick Wei
Dick Wei's directorial debut is beyond wonky but awesome. To get to the point of the plot, Dick Wei(Who is the bad guy in this film) commits suicide to not get caught, so the cop that was chasing him follows him to hell.
