🔖 Title: TV and Movies Will Be Hollowed Out by This Faustian Bargain 🗓️ Published: 2025-07-20T17:01:34+03:00 📄 Summary: The entertainment industry faces a dire prophecy as the Faustian bargain threatens to hollow out the essence of TV and movies. This metaphor highlights the potentially devastating impact of compromising creative integrity for commercial gain or technological shortcuts. The concern is that such decisions could strip away the soul and depth that define quality storytelling in visual media.

Doctoral student and anti-Zionist activist Hadas Emma Kedar shares her experience being a student in the Israeli school system and the deeply troubling ways it “taught” students misleading versions of Israeli history, denied the existence of the Palestinian people and —notably through field trips to Auschwitz — used fear to mould and shape their Zionist identities. Kedar, while drawing from her insight as an eventual school teacher herself, illuminates how she came to reject such teachings and developed an anti-Zionist outlook, informed by the necessity of permanently ending Israel’s subjugation of and ongoing genocide against Palestinians. youtube.com/watch?v=EBAdpeJrN_…

Hello, i have problem because i can't make it work for like a week.

Imagine being an employee at a company that has NEVER turned a profit and only exists because another company has been paying the bills, and showing up to work in these shirts.
Also makes me wonder… are they not being paid? I mean, they all signed contracts. Are they getting paid what they agreed to? If so, then these shirts make absolutely no sense (sorta like the WNBA).
Here is an opinion from X. I am copying and pasting in case you don’t have an acct there. This was written by someone named Josh Davis:
“There’s been a lot of talk about the WNBA All Star players wearing shirts that said “Pay us what you owe us.” And while there’s plenty of debate about the players, the league, the money, and what they should or shouldn’t be paid, one word stood out to me: owe.”
“We live in a time where it seems like we’re always waiting on something - thinking we’re entitled to certain things and outcomes. That someone, somewhere, owes us something. It creates a mindset that says, “This life is all about me.” Gratitude disappears. And in its place, entitlement and jealousy take root.
There’s a lesson I was taught years ago that has stuck with me ever since:”
“The world doesn’t owe you anything. But you owe it to the people in your world to give them your very best. You owe it to them, and to God, to use and develop the gifts He’s given you for their benefit.
We weren’t created just to receive. There’s no real significance in that. But when you live to give - when you pour out what God’s put in you - you begin to live a life that matters. A life and a legacy that leaves a mark. A life that impacts others long after you're gone.”
“So, shift your thinking from what you’re owed by someone else, and start thinking about what those around you need from you: your consistency, your determination to give them your best, and your refusal to give up.
And when you live this way, you will receive the things you need.”
I saw a post about it annoying people that some say they don't owe others anything. I got to thinking and I agree - I don't owe you anything. I owe God everything, so I have to strive to be the best person I can be for myself, my family, my community, my country, and my God.
The would-be-christian far-right has erased the end of the book of Genesis. : "Have dominion over the fish in the seas, the fowl in the skies ..." does not mean mankind has a right of nature annihilation . Neither does this give Kochland the right to deny man-made climate change.
I've been working on a complex multi-model database for a few weeks now, and recently I took time to simplify and test out an idea I had on a simple key-value database.
TEHRAN - A decisive shift is underway regarding the international community’s posture toward the Gaza crisis. A coalition of countries is moving beyond rhetoric to impose targeted sanctions on Israel.
“This is how media freedom dies. Not with dramatic raids on newsrooms or journalists thrown in jail (though who knows what the rest of Trump’s second term will bring). It dies with mergers and acquisitions, with regulatory pressure and financial settlements, with billionaires who see news organizations as just another business asset to be leveraged.” newrepublic.com/article/198120…

Invitation to attend the trial in Berlin - Solidarity with our accused comrade
Wednesday, 26 February at 12:00 RALLY in front of court at 13:00 trial hearing Tiergarten District Court Wilsnacker Str. (entrance Turmstr. 91) Courtroom B145, 1st floor
On 27 January last year, we were in Berlin at a large demonstration in solidarity with Palestine. During the demonstration, our comrade was suddenly pulled out by the cops, put into a car without warning or communication and driven away. The reason: his Palestine flag had a fist in Palestine colours on it (see picture). That really shouldn’t be anything surprising at a Palestine demonstration. However, the police and the public prosecutor’s office claim that the fist looks “confusingly similar44 to the logo of the Samidoun youth movement Hirak.
The Palestinian Prisoner Solidarity Network Samidoun was banned by the Federal Ministry of the Interior in November 2023. The fact that the repressive authorities are now constructing a connection between the symbols is absurd, but a deliberate calculation. The fist is a symbol of determination and struggle, not only in the Palestinian movement.
A successful criminalisation of the symbol would enable even more arbitrary repression against the Palestine solidarity movement.
The comrade had received a penalty order for €1200, against which he lodged an appeal. The main hearing will take place on Wednesday.
As only a few of us can make the long journey from Munster to Berlin, we are calling on the Berlin community to show solidarity and accompany the trial in solidarity.
Statement by Samidoun Palestinian Prisoner Solidarity Network on the 23 November 2023 Raids in Germany
Samidoun Palestinian Prisoner Solidarity Network denounces in the strongest terms the raids carried out by German police in four federal states, with a particular focus in Berlin, targeting Palestinians labeled by the German state as members or supporters of Samidoun or of the Palestinian Islamic Resistance Movement, Hamas.
We express our deepest solidarity with all of those subjected to these raids today, and we view these raids as a clear attempt by the German state to terrorize the Palestinian, Arab and Muslim communities in Germany and, more broadly, the popular sentiment in support of Palestinian liberation. These actions today build upon the ban of Samidoun several weeks ago, the bans on demonstrations, police attacks on communities, racist media incitement and fascist political, social and cultural assaults on all members of these targeted communities.
Further, these raids are an attempt by the German state to advance the Zionist genocide being carried out at this moment in occupied Palestine, which has already taken the lives of over 14,000 Palestinians, displaced over half of the Palestinians of Gaza, destroyed dozens of hospitals, schools, mosques and churches, and wounded tens of thousands more. They are also an attempt to silence all voices who speak out for the liberation of Palestinian prisoners, particularly at this moment, when six prisoners have been martyred in occupation jails in the past month, when prisoners are subjected to daily torture and abuse, and when a prisoner exchange is potentially on the horizon and requires the support of all people of conscience.
Instead of acting as a responsible party – sanctioning the Israeli occupation regime, expelling its ambassador and invoking the Genocide Convention to protect Palestinians – the proper activities of any state that claims, as does Germany, to have learned its lessons from Germany’s role as a perpetrator of Nazi genocide – it instead has increased its military support and arms sales to the Israeli occupation tenfold in just the past two months while imposing a level of police repression unprecedented since German reunification on the Palestinian community and supporters of Palestine more broadly.
We assert that these attacks on people who were Samidoun members prior to the 2nd November ban on Samidoun in Germany as well on people who participate in demonstrations and mass actions in defense of Palestine will fail in the attempt to terrorize and silence the community and the rising voice of justice in Palestine. The tens of thousands of people who fill the streets for every call for Palestine will continue to do so, even as they face police assault and arrest for declaring such simple demands as, “End the genocide” and “From the river to the sea, Palestine will be free.”
Our energies and efforts around the world are focused on supporting the heroic Palestinian people in Gaza and throughout occupied Palestine and organizing everywhere in exile and diaspora, on the international, Arab and Palestinian levels, to bring an end to the genocide, to affirm the legitimacy and leadership of the Palestinian resistance, and to liberate Palestine, all of Palestine. The systemic racist abuse directed at the Palestinian people and the Arab and Muslim communities more broadly will not silence us nor will it suppress our work. Whether the repression is taking place in Germany, France, Britain, Canada or the United States, it is clear that these attacks on strugglers for justice in Palestine reflects only the desperation of the imperialist powers to defend their illegitimate Zionist settler colonial project planted in the heart of the Arab region by all means, including tearing apart all of their proclamations and pledges of democracy, human rights, freedom of expression and freedom of association. We express our clear solidarity with all people and organizations who have been targeted for arrest, detention, police raids, searches, harassment, employer retaliation, official silencing and other forms of persecution for their positions on Palestinian liberation.
Despite all the attacks, the reality is clear: the people stand with Palestine. From the tens, indeed hundreds of thousands that defy state repression in Germany to take to the streets for Palestine, to the masses in France that rise up against police bans on mobilization, to the millions in Britain marching despite attempts to ban the Palestinian flag, to the ongoing actions in Britain, Canada and the United States to materially confront and challenge the war machine through direct actions like those of Palestine Action – and this is just in the heart of the imperial core. In Latin America, Colombia, Venezuela, Cuba, Belize, Bolivia have cut ties, recalled their ambassadors or affirmed their rejection of the Israeli occupation regime, demanding an end to the genocide. South Africa’s parliament has voted to expel the Israeli ambassador. And of course, in the Arab region, the heroic and unparalleled role of the Lebanese, Yemeni and Iraqi resistance is unified with the clear sentiment and spirit of the people to shame every reactionary regime that is complicit in the genocide in Palestine and the imperialist plans for the region.
The images of hundreds of masked and heavily armed police invading the apartments of Palestinian students, workers and refugees in Germany today appears as an imitation of the daily invasions of the Israeli occupation forces in Palestinian homes in occupied Palestine, as well as a disturbing echo of Germany’s own Nazi fascist history. And as Palestinians in occupied Palestine have never stopped struggling despite over 75 years of Zionist occupation and 100 years of colonialism, these attacks will not silence the growing movement in Germany and every other imperialist power involved in attacking Palestine, as new generations refuse their involvement and complicity in genocide.
We affirm: No bans, police raids or criminalization will silence the spirit, the will and the organization of the Palestinian, Arab and internationalist voices confronting imperialism, Zionism and reaction. As Samidoun, we are committed to challenging the ban and these attacks by all legal means, and our eyes will not be turned away from our role in working urgently to end the genocide and free all Palestinian prisoners. From the river to the sea, Palestine will be free. Long live the Palestinian resistance. Victory, return, total liberation and decolonization for all of Palestine.

So yesterday Nancy Faeser, the German interior minister (previously known for multiple anti-Arab propaganda campaigns), announced a ban on Samidoun. The ban on #Samidoun by #German officials is active participation in the ongoing genocide on #Gaza. The purpose of such a ban is to repress dissent with the full force of the state. ... All of this is full-on complicity and particiption in #genocide. ... If it is possible to ban Samidoun, then it is possible to ban every political organization and group in #Germany that challenges the #politics of the German state and its imperialist role. This action comes hand in hand with the United States' ongoing resupply of bombs to target the #Palestinian people in Gaza. It is meant to bolster the Israeli war effort by depriving the Palestinian people of popular support on the streets. t.me/samidounnetwork/1396 t.me/samidounnetwork/1397

#Germany is becoming a #police state when it comes to #Palestine #activism. "At 6 a.m. on March 22, pro-#Palestinian activists Said and Yasemin, who were asleep in their respective Berlin homes, were awakened by armed and masked police officers who broke down their doors at the same time." "This is not the first time Berlin police raided people’s homes over social media posts. Earlier this month, police knocked down the door of a middle-aged woman who wrote “from the river to the sea Palestine will be free” on her social media and arrested her. She was charged with “using the symbols of unconstitutional organizations,” Berlin police said in a statement." "In #Berlin most recently, the state and the media have tried their best to shut down the Palestine Congress, a gathering of international scholars, activists, and journalists. " "A Palestinian friend of mine, Mahmoud, is currently being targeted by the state of Karlsruhe for saying the following during a protest: “Palestine is for all people, from the river to the sea, regardless of their denomination or religion.” That was enough for the state to say he had committed a hate crime by questioning Israel’s right to exist. He is being forced to pay 7,500 euros in fines. " This is extremely DANGEROUS. #AntiFascism mondoweiss.net/2024/04/germany…
The German state is taking extraordinary measures to clamp down on pro-Palestinian activism, including arresting activists in their homes in the middle of the night.
#Germany 's federal intelligence agency classified the international Boycott, Divestment and Sanctions (#BDS) movement as a suspected extremist organization this week.
This new designation will allow German authorities to monitor BDS activists and recruit informants within the organization.
#Israel has also poured tens of millions of shekels into combating BDS. Germany has now become the latest country to join what is commonly known as "the anti-BDS movement."
(And for the last they left the most racist, anti-muslim, fascist, aspect of the decision)

"Qantara portal, which publishes content in English, German and Arabic, operated successfully for more than 20 years, seemingly with no editorial guidance from the German government. This changed, however, when it began publishing content critical of German debates on anti-Semitism in the context of the #Gaza #genocide. Earlier this year, it was announced that Qantara would be restructured, and its management would be transferred from Deutsche Welle to the Institute for Foreign Cultural Relations (Institut für Auslandsbeziehungen – IFA), which is affiliated to and funded by the Federal Foreign Office. ...German Foreign Minister Annalena #Baerbock suggesting in an interview that concerns about content published by Qantara, particularly content on anti-Semitism, were a factor in the decision. ...With this one article, published under the editorial control of a Foreign Office-affiliated institute, the #German government burned its “bridge” to the Islamic world." #germany #germancomplicity #racism #antimuslimischerrassismus #StateRacism #antisemitismus #warmongers #warcrimes aljazeera.com/opinions/2024/8/…

History may not repeat itself fully. Mass extermination may be replaced by mass expulsion as the far-right concept of “remigration” is quickly gaining ground; it has long left the far-right fringe to become increasingly more mainstream." #racism #racialprofiling #RacialCapitalism #farright #fascism

Have a look at how German police actually forced its entry into a public event where #FrancescaAlbanese, the #UN Special Rapporteur on the occupied Palestinian territories, presented her view on the horrendous situation in #Gaza and #WestBank
The whole meeting had to proceed under the eyes of the police observing who was present and listening whether specific expressions could be used to criminalize the Palestinian #solidarity movement once more.
Living in a police state seems to be the fitting term for a situation in which the armed police of the state executive intimidates not only the audience but the international visitor who represents the United Nations that were founded after WW2 to make it impossible that such kinds of authoritarian repression like in Nazi #Germany would ever happen again. jungewelt.de/artikel/494289.re… Via @dhayannada #repression #palestine #germancomplicityingenocide

Lawyer Melanie Schweizer posted a video on X stating: “Yesterday I got fired as a civil servant working at the Federal Ministry in #Germany. Why? In a nutshell because I was speaking out against the genocide in #Palestine committed by #Israel, against the German support thereof, against the violence and crimes happening there.” She called on supporters of Gaza to make their stance clear and “keep speaking up, keep using your voice, losing your job is not the worst that can happen to you, losing your life is.

German police yesterday violently broke up an International Women's Day march in support of #Palestine and #solidarity with Palestinian #women who continue to struggle under Israeli occupation.
#Berlin ’s #immigration authorities are moving to deport four young foreign residents on allegations related to participation in protests against Israel’s war on #Gaza, an unprecedented move that raises serious concerns over civil liberties in #Germany.
The deportation orders, issued under German migration law, were made amid political pressure and over internal objections from the head of the state of Berlin’s immigration agency. The internal strife arose because three of those targeted for deportation are citizens of European Union member states who normally enjoy freedom of movement between #EU countries. “You can see it in the U.S. and Germany, too: Political dissent is silenced by targeting the migration status of protesters.” Some of the allegations are minor. Two, for example, are accused of calling a police officer “fascist” — insulting an officer, which is a crime. Three are accused of demonstrating with groups chanting slogans like “From the river to the sea, Palestine Will be Free” — which was outlawed last year in Germany — and “#freePalestine.” Authorities also claim all four shouted #antisemitic or anti-Israel slogans, though none are specified. theintercept.com/2025/03/31/ge… #Staterepression #germancomplicity #racism #zionism #genocide via @EndIsraeliApartheid
On 21 April, #Germany will deport me – an #EU citizen convicted of no crime – for standing with #Palestine
"None of the charges have yet led to a court hearing, yet the #deportation letters conclude that we are a threat to public order and national security. There has been no legal process for this decision, and none of us have a criminal record. The reasoning in the letters continues with vague and unfounded accusations of “#antisemitism” and supporting “terrorist organisations” – referring to #Hamas – as well as its supposed “front organisations in Germany and #Europe”.
Since October 2023, the German Federal Office for Migration and Refugees has unlawfully frozen the processing of all asylum seekers from Gaza. And on 16 April 2025 a federal administrative court in Germany will reportedly decide on a case that could set a precedent for the German state to mass deport Palestinian refugees.
Four of us have received letters from the state telling us to leave or be removed. This is a terrifying illustration of Germany’s lurch to the right, says Kasia Wlaszczyk
On 28 March, the Zionist #German Jewish weekly Judische Allgemeine Zeitung happily announced that Tel Aviv would become Berlin's newest twin city, with all factions of the Berlin House of Representatives agreeing to the decision.
They do so even as large parts of the world are gradually distancing themselves from this regime.
Such a decision reflects common interests and values that supposedly bind the cities and their populations together.
And the ones on display in this partnership are telling: while one side commits #genocide, the other supports, promotes, and finances it; while one carries out ethnic cleansing, the other feigns ignorance; while one deliberately targets children, #journalists, and #medical personnel, the other looks away and prattles on about #HumanRights while one starves a people to death, the other merely shrugs.
As Israel's global isolation grows, Berlin deepens its alliance with Tel Aviv – criminalising dissent, rewarding lobby groups, and eroding rights in the name of fighting antisemitism

I just really wish they wouldn’t call it “Islamophobia.” There are very real reasons to be vary of ideologies as toxic as Islam, Christianity, etc., without being bigoted/racist against people who might have been born into them.
“Muslimophobia” I can understand. Islamophobia, no. (And no, the difference isn’t just academic.)

Took me 24 years but I finally 100% Grand Theft Auto 3.
I ended up playing the definitive edition I bought on sale using a gift card I got from someone a few years back I forgot to use. Honestly I think the original in a lot of ways was far less frustrating than the definitive edition port. The drive by controls and car driving physics in the original were a lot better and felt far less frustrating. Grove street games didn´t do a great job with the port sadly and even after 4 years of patches / updates itś still not on parity with the original 2001 PS2 version.
I do own the original on PC luckily and I would say RE3 ( reverse engineered GTA3 ) is probably the definitive way to play the game if you had to play it. It was a monumental game for the sandbox genre of its time but its a bit dated in 2025.
That's what sucked about that game. The acting, the artwork .. it was all incredible. The adverts were funny as fuck. The dialog was pretty good. I go it on release and the bugs were just terrible:
And there's nowhere to go or hang out. Even at that one bar everyone goes to you can't actually do anything. I like driving around listening to the radio but I wish there were side activities like GTA 4
Tbh they completely changed the perk trees and skills/hacks when they released that big dlc phantom liberty. It ruined the gameplay for me. I really don't like any of the nerfed gameplay skill trees at all even in a new playthrough.
@Hoss @Eiswald Oddly enough I bought GTA5 when it was on sale for $15 a few years back I played an hour or two of it and stopped playing it and never went back. I think GTA 4 was the last good GTA game. I know a lot of people hated the driving but that game is literally a time capsule of mid / late 2000s culture and it hits hard playing it because that game came out 2 months before I graudated high school and a few months before i legally became an adult so it was kind of like the last game i played as a teenager
Cyberpunk's gameplay felt really shallow. The world looked fantastic from an aesthetic perspective, but nothing about it really made you wanna fuck around like in a Grand Theft Auto game.
Yeah, the city was very limiting compared to GTA V. I mean first person shooter and the basic cyberpunk mechanics. That would make GTA 6 more interesting.
