Have you seen the new article about tnm 2. It seems his hair has grown again the short hair reign was really short. I hope it's part of the plot because I am really not vibing with long hair JP or he is very reluctant to any type of change. Dude you are an actor there are a lot of actors more successful and accomplished than you who go through intensive body change and makeup for their role and you can't seem to cut your own hair seriously. These really dampens my interest in the show and whatever excitement I have for this show just vanishes.

Doesn't he look great?? Kind of like Jonathan Pine 9 years later, which is, of course, THE POINT. The character has developed since series 1, and the world has changed drastically. Or perhaps you didn't hear that part when Tom was talking about looking forward to the new season.

Also, if that's 'long-hair JP', wow. Do I have news for you.

Sorry you're stuck in 2016.

Feel free to unfollow any time. There are plenty of blogs who are more than happy to pre-judge any of his work based on 'vibes', rather than, I don't know, waiting and watching the season when it airs, and who seem to have memory-holed the first series and anything Tom's said.

Oof the elongated muskrat is having another tantrum.

Seems Tumblr is safe for now? But oof. Link aggregator sites like linktree or cardd are also banned.

With the way Etsy treats its sellers, I think we should all block @sosuperawesome.

I accidentally clicked through a link from sosuperawesome to get a better look, and now if I try to make a purchase anywhere on Etsy, Etsy will likely do their scummy thing of charging the seller for my ad revenue.

Here's a screenshot inspecting the link from a sosuperawesome post:

Notice all that stuff appended to the link?

In case the screenshot is too small or just doesn't load, here's the link (with backslashes replaced with uprights so it doesn't immediately turn into a link. Tumblr post editor is nicer now but it does make making my point a little more challenging)

https:||href.li|?https:||www.awin1.com||cread.php?awinmid=6091&awinaffid=245609&clickref=Infinite+Love+Creative&ued=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.etsy.com%2Flisting%2F990007782%2Fbig-crab-planter-pot-w-drainage-handmade

See all that awin1.com stuff in the link? That's all trackers. I'd be willing to bet 24 karat gold that it's specifically advertising trackers. Sosuperawesome is almost certainly Etsy's own advertising, making money off people who clicked the links thinking that they're just looking at another Tumblr user's blog. Sosuperawesome is costing creators with these spurious links, and even trying to copy a clean link location with a firefox plugin is not removing the routing address.

Etsy's promotional policies are theft. Don't be fooled by advertising blogs acting like real humans.

Artificial Intelligence, aka AI, is playing a vital role in fraud prevention for Payment Gateways today. There are many tools updated in the market used to make payment gateway services more secure daily. Hackers are becoming advanced and there is always a threat that they may crack the code to break the latest technology used in fraud prevention for the payment gateways. This generated the need to update the AI technology used for the prevention of payment gateways.

the rafah border crossing could close as soon as next month, leaving people in gaza with no way out. please continue to fund trusted people who are on the ground. do not donate to anyone who does not know what they are doing or how to get funds moved properly, or those who have no connections to volunteers in cairo who are working tirelessly to transition traumatized people as smoothly as possible while the egyptian government does squat. many sources are aggregating vetted funds like the linktree to several funds below.

From the archives: A roundup of old “Did you read” blog posts

I've gone back and gathered links to old Chicago Reader “Did You Read __________?” blog posts that I contributed items to from 2012 to 2016. These posts were all “authored” by “Reader staff” with attibution to the individual contributors appearing in the body text next to their contributed items. So like some other things with the top-level byline done in this way, they don't appear on individual contributors’ author archives pages.

I got the post URLs using Google Search and then wrote a PHP script pulling all the URLs from the Search results into an array and fetching each post’s headline, subheadline, and publication date, sorting it all in reverse chronological order, and then outputting a useful list of links in nice HTML for presentation on the web. It’s probably most but not all of these posts that I contributed to.

(Among possibly other things, this let me add these to my Muckrack portfolio.)

“Did You Read __________?” [snapshot in the Wayback Machine at archive.org] was a topic series—you can think of it simply as a blog—that started in January 2012 in The Bleader blog (previously “The Blog,” sort of a single-company blog network or parent blog under which individual blogs or sub-blogs existed) on chicagoreader.com that ran initially as a more-or-less daily place for Reader staff to share interesting things, usually articles, from elsewhere on the web, sort of quick-hit link sharing. It shared links to “stories that fascinate, alarm, amuse, or inspire us.”

It was the successor to “What the Reader’s Reading” [Wayback Machine snapshot], a regularly updated feed of links from early 2010 to late 2011 powered by a news-aggregation platform called Publish2 that the Creative Loafing folks were especially excited about but did actually do some cool microblogging things including tagging and categorizing content and, if I recall, also had some rudimentary social media-type features built in. Links shared this way were presented in various places on the site, especially on the Reader homepage and on section-specific posts (e.g. music-tagged links [Wayback Machine] on music posts) and on section table of contents [Wayback Machine] pages.

Later, the idea of daily “Did you read” posts as compilations of staff contributions was dropped and freelancer Kate Shepherd wrote all the posts for the rest of the series from January 2016 until it was discontinued after Valentine’s Day in February 2018—at a particularly tumultuous time in the Reader’s history.

PALESTINE FILM INDEX

Palestine Film Index is a growing list of films from and about Palestine and the Palestinian struggle for liberation, made by Palestinians and those in solidarity with them. The index starts with films from the revolutionary period (68 - 82) made by the militant filmmakers of the Palestine Film Unit and their allies, and extends through a multitude of voices to the present day. It is by no means a complete or exhaustive representation of the vast universe that is Palestinian cinema, but is only a small fragmentary list that we hope nontheless can be used as an instrument of study & solidarity. As tools of knowledge against zionist propaganda and towards Palestinian liberation.

The century long war against Palestinians by the zionist project is one waged not only militarily but also culturally. The act of filmmaking, preservation, and distribution becomes an act against this attempted cultural erasure of ethnic cleansing. The power inherent in this form as a weapon against the genocidal project of zionism is evidenced in the ways it has been historically & currently targeted by the occupation forces: from the looting & stealing of the Palestine Cinema Institute archives during the siege of Beirut in 1982, through the long history of targeted assassinations of Palestinian filmmakers, journalists, artists, & writers (from PFU founder Hani Jawharieh, to Ghassan Kanafani, Shireen Abu Akleh, Refaat Alareer, and the over 100 journalists killed in the currently ongoing war on Gaza).

It is in this spirit of the use of film and culture as a way of focusing & transmitting information & knowledge that we hope this list can be used as one in an assortment of educational tools against hasbara (a coordinated and intricate system of zionist propaganda, media manipulation, & social engineering, etc) and all forms of propaganda that is weaponized against the Palestinian people. Zionist media & its collaborators remain one of the most effective fronts of the war, used to manufacture consent through deeply ingrained psychological manipulation of the general public agency. Critical and autonomous thought must be used as a tool of dismantling these frameworks. In this realm, film can play a vital roll in your toolkit/arsenal. Film must be understood as one front of the greater resistance. We hope in some small way we can help to distribute these manifestations of Palestinian life and the struggle towards liberation.

This list began as small aggregation to share among friends and comrades in 2021 and has since expanded to the current and growing form (it is added to almost every day). We have links for through which each film can be viewed along with descriptions, details such as run time, year, language, etc. We also have a supplemental list of related materials (texts, audio, supplemental video) that is small but growing. We have added information on contacts for distributors and filmmakers of each film in order to help people or groups who are interested in using this list to organize public screenings of these films. The makers of this list do not control the rights to these films and we strongly urge those interested in screening the works to get in touch with the filmmaker or distributors before doing so. This list was made with best intentions in mind, and in most cases with permission of filmmaker or through a publically available link, but if any film has mistakenly been added without the permission of a filmmaker involved and you would like us to remove it, or conversely if you are a filmmaker not included who would like your film to be added, or for any other thoughts, suggestions, additions, subtractions, complaints or concerns, please contact us at palestinefilmindex@gmail.com. No one involved in this list is doing it as a part of any organization, foundation or non-profit and we are not being paid to do this, it is merely a labor of love and solidarity. From the river to the sea, Palestine

Fark.com is a news aggregator--they take links from a lot of different news sites and discuss it in forums. People with various expertises will chime in as well.

The BBC and Al-Jazeera English are good places to start with news organizations.

There are other news sites, but these are ones I can personally vouch for as good places to start getting news.

On a similar note, the Supernatural Breaking News meme was funny earlier on, but as it's coming to be used for literally every single bit of minor news and people are more and more going "this is always how I learn about news first" or "I get my news only through this meme", I am BEGGING YOU to not get your news primarily off random Tumblr users and memes.

Subscribe to the (free) email newsletters of the national newspapers of record, multiple of them to catch the spectrum. Do the same for your regional, specialty, or local papers, especially the dailies and the ones that are not tabloids or conservative rags. Tune into their daily and weekly news brief podcasts and shows.

Contribute to their circulation count by actually reading and listening to their coverage. If you means to do so, actually subscribe to these papers; journalism and news reporting requires financial support. If their reporting or coverage is insufficient or does something you don't like, consider writing a letter to the editor complaining about it; if their reporting or coverage is fantastic and does something you do like, considering writing a letter to the editor highlighting it.

Some of you act like news reporting comes out of thin air and keep giving credit to memes and Twitter reposts, then don't contribute any credit or support to the journalists and organizations that actually did the reporting in the first place. There is constant eulogizing about how journalism, local newspapers, and print news is dying—that reporting of non-conservative political leaning is getting smothered—and then absolutely none of you put any effort into getting your news anywhere that isn't a Supernatural meme.

the return of the girlbots on tumblr sucks but at least it's not like twitter where they now ban you for linking to or even just mentioning your username on a "competing" social media site like instagram or facebook
