JetSpiegel··on Dune: Part Two – First Look
I agree, but it's a consequence of post 9/11 politics, Islamic culture is haram in the current American mainstream, even 20 years later. It was already fringe for the Black liberation movements, 9/11 just killed it completely.

Even re-releasing The Fifth Element would trigger this, I think. Or The Exorcist, with the first sound being a muezzin blaring Allahu Akbar.

JetSpiegel··on Why do studios use Roman numerals in the copyright notice in the end credits?
Ridley Scott thought Blade Runner 2049 was slow and boring, and it's true that the original (from 1982) is much faster paced and action packed.

The release date is not relevant.

Since the BBC axed The Film Programme, you can try following Eileen Jones at Jacobin.

What? Bellingcat is CIA's laundry service, in what way are they citizen journalists?
JetSpiegel··on Bob Lee, former CTO of Square, has died after being stabbed in San Francisco
The logical consequence of this argument is for San Francisco to secede from the Union and build a wall around the city to stop foreign homeless people from coming in. And blowing up BART too.

Didn't SF's mayor's brother murder someone?

> It's not the end of the world.

It is if you are suddenly homeless due to those blips.

So, it's a conspiracy theory.

Talking to multiple individuals is not statistics.

That's Voldemort, he did burn down his own orphanage.

How can you get the money to buy the shares, if you are a regular worker? Maybe get a loan from a bank?
JetSpiegel··on The Tantrum Venture Capitalists Threw over Silicon Valley Bank
He was practically the GOP economic ideologue under Trump.
JetSpiegel··on Who’s Behind the Botnet-Based Service BHProxies?
That's completely different. With Fon and BT WiFi, your router has an extra AP, so "others" are physically present near the router. With Luminati, the "other" can be literally the highest bidder on the Internet.
JetSpiegel··on Portugal proposes to end Golden Visas, curtail Airbnb rentals
The PM gave an interview a few days ago on local TV.
JetSpiegel··on Portugal proposes to end Golden Visas, curtail Airbnb rentals
Yeah, but the Socialist Party is more like the US Democrats. Names are weird.
JetSpiegel··on Blowing holes in Seymour Hersh’s pipe dream
If your response to "The CIA blew up Nordstream" is "Elliot Higgins says they didn't", that's your credibility down the drain.
JetSpiegel··on Portugal proposes to end Golden Visas, curtail Airbnb rentals
Another datapoint, the average salary is about 1300, but the median is about 900. So more than half the people literally can't rent.
JetSpiegel··on Portugal proposes to end Golden Visas, curtail Airbnb rentals
Build more houses, where? There's no lack of houses in the sticks, you can't just raze the city center and build skyscrapers.
JetSpiegel··on Portugal proposes to end Golden Visas, curtail Airbnb rentals
Over 10% of houses in Portugal are AirBnB. That's just crazy! In some neighborhoods, it's over 60%.

Plus, there's something like 700k empty houses, for some reason on another.

There's no lack of houses for everyone, just hoarding and speculation.

JetSpiegel··on Portugal ends Golden Visas, curtails Airbnb rentals to address housing crisis
I believe when I see it. There was a proposal to end the Golden Visa program a few months back and PS (the ruling party, super majority on parliament) voted against. The PM said at the time that "maybe" it was time to end, but when the rubber meets the road, they voted against the laws.

How did FDR buy up all the gold? Just pass a bill, no army needed. Isn't the USA a rule of law state?

Now, if the railroad bosses are willing to fight with the federal government, they are welcome to hire mercenaries. I hear Wagner wants cash.
