Propaganda is usually truthful or exaggerated truth. It’s the framing that is important. Some facts are focused on. Some facts are omitted.
I acknowledge that Russia, China and the DPRK have made mistakes and even done things that are deeply questionable. But I’m interested in comparing their mistakes or misguided actions to those of the most powerful military empire on earth. The one involved in hundreds of military actions and dozens of coups since its inception. The one with the largest per capita prison population on earth. The one which controls many of the world’s financial levers.
There is a difference in the scale of their mistakes or bad actions. Propaganda distorts that difference of scale. It focuses on the crimes of the “enemies” / “axis of evil” / “rogue states” but doesn’t examine context or culpability of the empire. They’ll choose one conflict, downplay 9 others, and give a one-sided view of that one conflict.
That’s how propaganda works. Every state produces propaganda. One state produces billions of dollars of propaganda each year.
I use Keepass2Android. Is there some reason Keepassxc is better, or just an alternative?
Good film. One of the few good Lovecraft adaptations, IMHO.
Radio Free Europe / Radio Liberty is straight up State department propaganda.
Richard Stanley was hired to direct “The Island of Doctor Moreau” but was replaced by John Frankenheimer after a few days of shooting. However, Stanley considered the film to be his baby (he co-wrote the script) and didn’t want to leave. So he disguised himself as one of the mutants and secretly remained on the shoot.
You can watch the documentary about the shooting of this B-movie and it’s full of weird details like that. It’s called “Lost Soul: the doomed journey of Richard Stanley’s Island of Doctor Moreau”
Is that David Frum, speechwriter to the Bush Jr administration? Writer of speeches about the axis of evil? Writer of speeches to whip up frenzy for an invasion of Iraq? An invasion based on lies? That David Frum?
Very wise. He spent his nights with the fairy by the river.
Calculator?! Those thieving, energy-sucking piles of garbage! Abacus till I die!
But seriously, AI is insidious in how it data mines us to give us answers, and data mines our questions to build profiles of users. I distrust assurances of anonymity by big data corpos.
Some horrors need not be shown in the light of day
Dead internet shall become undead.
The article states that there is no evidence that this is caused by Russia. But then goes on to speculate that it’s caused by Russia. Journalistic standards have fallen.
This is an exercise in absurdism. People searching the picture and giving each other hints without any search target. Fun stuff.
(This is) me, (a person) who doesn’t use AI.
And to celebrate that fact, Europe is joining the US in imposing massive tariffs on China’s electric vehicles and solar cells. Yay.
ISTG stands for It’s Studio Giblets
Ironically this is probably made by Biden’s team to scare people into voting Biden because those Russkis are tryin to steal our 'lection!
Would be funny if Boeing started cutting corners with their hitmen, too.
So instead of having people spend 60% of their income on housing we will have some slightly annoyed people who aren’t in the neighborhood they want to be in, spending <20% of their income on housing. Sounds like an improvement to me.
So… is no one going to comment that it looks like Mads is going down on Hideo?
