Subtitles in movie theatres NOW. I will not back down on this

blogdiva,
@blogdiva@mastodon.social avatar

@patrickworld LOL move to Puerto Rico (but you'll have to learn Spanish for that). there used to be a theater here in nyc that would show movies subtitled in English. i can't remember the name right now.

@blogdiva@mastodon.social avatar

@patrickworld i mean, they are kind of a distraction for some? the theater only showed them at certain matinee times. i guess back then there were more senior folks in the area, at least the one am thinking of. maybe check your local matinee shows. it should be more widespread. i wouldn't want it in all viewings but definitely at certain hours of the day & night. it helps ESOL & kids also. that's how my kids learned to read. with games like KOTLR & close-captioned movies.

@patrickworld 🔥 🔥 🔥 that would be fucking fire. to be able to have the close caption on a pair of glasses. you wouldn't be beholden to one language. you could do ANY language you wanted. now THAT's a future i want.

If you design a system such that you cannot differentiate people from corporations and bots and that’s your defense for calling all of them “users”, you’ve designed a system that conflates people – who are mortal, have feelings, can feel pain and be hurt and who have human rights that must be protected – with the very entities that oftentimes exist to exploit them.

Design for people. Call them people. All else is secondary.

@aral i really really love this. i was perusing your & your partners sites and am now intrigued. i have to spend a day looking into what y'all built with your foundation. i love the idea of web0. and i agree: everybody should have the ability to have a small static site. that used to be the case back in the wild west days of internet providers. with consolidation and monopoly, it was one of the first things to be disappeared. we need to legislate that back.

Deeply telling about how far the Overton Window has shifted in 40 years that Ronald Reagan took a harder line with Israel than Joe Biden, never mind Mitt Romney.

(But then, per wikipedia Romney was best buds with Benjamin Netanyahu at university. So this tracks.)

@cstross i don't think Biden has ever found a fascist he hasn't liked¹. maybe Putin... maybe. he's the kind of machiavellian that thinks he's outsmarting them with his 3rd-way magic. triangulation is a cult, right up there with tech optimism and whatever the fuck that cult behind AI is called. it's the Clintonian attempt at "kindler, gentler" fascist realpolitik. the older i get, the more i hate Bill Clinton for successfully selling fascism-lite to the masses.

NORMAL FINKELSTEIN is having the biggest "i fucking told you so" moment of his life and am sure, though well received, it is more bitter than sweet.

this is an important article for his focus on the cognitive of protests:

«"I believe the “Cease-fire now” slogan is most important. On a college campus, that slogan should be twinned with the slogan of “Free speech.” If I were in your situation, I would say “Free Gaza, free speech”...»

don't believe the hype about Twitter blowing up thanks to mainstream media journalism.

NOPE.

Twitter exploded in 2010 due to the and . that year alone it broke signup records thanks to Brasil, Argentina & Venezuela.

BTW i love that has a translation option but why is it not on all posts? what triggers the translation link?

  1. the translatable post comes from a different localized instance? so the translation is happening on the instance i am at.

or

  1. the post comes from an instance with a translation plugin? so, it's their instance doing the translation not my instance.

i use the deck on Librewolf. had to install a translation add-on. my 5½ languages aren't enough for 😋

The pedal bike clicked for my 4-year-old this week. His grin, his squeals of laughter, his "I'm going really fast! This is fun!" while we ride beside him - one of the best feelings I've ever had as a parent.

Chris Van Hollen can go fuck himself. he was handpicked by Harry Reid and Nancy Pelosi for his MIC street cred. FFS Netanyahu has a minister that we don't even know if he is still in the USA terrorist list Israeli media says he's been in since, at the very list, 2007.

@JoscelynTransient it's the utter contempt for anybody to the left of Mussolinicrats.

i resent that this fuckwad gets paid to air his hatred for whatever Left boogeyman he's concocted for the delight of the fascistocracy.

i hate his fake objectivity. he's just as corrupt as Trump for selling himself to normalize violence with his brand of 'white moderate'.

fuck that guy.
