The trailer for Jiří Mádl's new film Vlny/Waves, which centres on events at Czechoslovak Radio during the 1968 Russian invasion, just dropped – and looks really promising. I'm very much looking forward to seeing this in a few weeks at Karlovy Vary IFF!

A debate on computer demand in 1983.

As if it wasn’t clear already VW illustrates the giant, ticking time-bomb at the heart of Europe’s economic model. The European economy is based on two things, industrial production and selling the past.

Every paper in America should have looked like this today.

The GOP VP candidate just vamping about how we are in a new civil war against the Yankees like he’s an Auburn freshman after a 3am bong rip at a frat houses Robert E Lee Day party. Wild. thebulwark.com/p/jd-vance-and…

If your current ID carries your married name--different from your maiden name on your birth certificate--you could be disqualified from voting under the SAVE act pushed by GOP and Trump. Could block millions of women from voting

"Take over Elijah!"

I dunno if Trump is America’s Hitler, but Nazis sure think he is.

Twenty one TIMES as many Hoosiers donated to Wells.

Montage of clips of Trump dragging his right leg over the last few months. He refuses to release his medical records.

Aw, the world's authoritarians are rooting for one another.

Imagine being Sundar Pichai now: - you had the largest continually updated data set of any company to train AI on (the Google Index) - you invented the underlying technology of LLMs like ChatGPT in 2017 called Transfomers - you had complete search dominance: all you had to add

“New York authorities, under their terrible Governor, put more effort into finding an[d] eliminating a squirrel, **who was innocent by all accounts**…” I don’t want to take anything away from the Peanut Tragedy but this line had me howling. lmao

Just to clarify: this isn’t just the first time since WW2 that all incumbent parties in developed countries lost vote share. It’s the first time since this data was first recorded in 1905. Essentially the first time in the history of democracy (universal suffrage began in 1894).

Apparently some Dems are concluding from this that they were powerless to avoid a heavy defeat, so I will take this opportunity to plug my column from last month warning that progressives’ leftward shift on social issues was alienating Hispanic voters ft.com/content/84b816…

On this day in 1990: the first web page created.

I'm just going to leave this here for posterity.
