ScootsMcSkirt posted:ive been reading Command and Control by Eric Schlosser and its making me want to check out Oppenheimer in this vein, I would also recommend "The Dead Hand: The Untold Story of the Cold War Arms Race and its Dangerous Legacy", by David E. Hoffman it's been many years since I've read it, but one of the things that stuck with me was a weapons inspector sent by the HW Bush administration to Russia after the implosion of the USSR, and they came up to a warehouse full of fissile material, with no guards, no lights, and a single broken padlock as the only security

If you want the history of the scientific progress in the late 19th and early 20th century that led to nuclear physics, the politics behind the early days (including Nazis chasing out tons of Jewish nuclear scientists), and the Manhattan project, Richard Rhodes' Making of the Atomic Bomb is really good

I like Tenet for it's music and protagonist. The idea of future humanity sending people back in time to kill us before we destroy the climate is a really cool hook but it's handled very stupidly and most of the action sucks apart from a 5 second fistfight in a kitchen I also like the concept that the only way to time travel is to literally reverse backwards through time

mawarannahr posted:I watched all 4 hours and 47 minutes of Until the End of the World (1991, by Wim Wenders). it's kinda hard to explain but starts with the world gonna be ending and sort of ends in recovering from dreamviewer/smartphone addiction. kinda sad that Solveig Dommartin died in 1997. On release, many people ridiculed the film, commenting on how the characters were obsessed with technology and always glued to their computers. Just one of the ways in which UtEotW was weirdly prescient.

C-Euro posted:I mean I guess not, but these sorts of things always feel like wish-casting, or a blind squirrel finding a nut type deal. I think it's related to the fact that the Christian adoption agencies they work with basically don't vet potential caretakers at all and will even go to bat for dangerous ones to preserve their reputations. A lot of those agencies basically function as resources for people who wouldn't qualify for secular adoption, i.e. predators etc, and conservative states wouldn't dare step on a religious organization's toes. Maybe the filmmakers are actually doing the abuse and trafficking themselves as well but if I had to guess they're probably just enabling it by turning a blind eye and silencing victims. Like how "groomer" rhetoric seeks to cover up heterosexual pedophilia, a lot of so-called "sex trafficking" rhetoric seeks to cover up local abuse.

I agree, but also I just realized that the vibe that tweet was giving me, and which I was trying to articulate, was the "boom!" guy on Twitter five or so years ago with his little cutesy teases for breaking news. So wholly separate from whether or not anyone involved in the QAnon movie is a pedi (which feels fairly likely). Just accuse the producers of pedophilia outright, it worked so well for them going the other direction. Benjamin Wittes or whatever his name is, someone here knows who I'm talking about.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Operation_Underground_Railroad In a December 2020 article, Vice News said that Tim Ballard embellished O.U.R.'s role in the rescue of a trafficked woman, stating that they did not find "outright falsehoods but a pattern of image-burnishing and mythology-building, a series of exaggerations that are, in the aggregate, quite misleading".[1] A 2021 follow-up article further criticized O.U.R.'s practices, including using inexperienced donors and celebrities as part of its jump team, a lack of meaningful surveillance or identification of targets, failing to validate whether the people they intended to rescue were in fact actual trafficking victims, and conflating consensual sex work with sex trafficking.[42] O.U.R. reportedly consulted a psychic for intelligence on one mission on the border between Haiti and the Dominican Republic.[42] A 2021 article in Slate criticized an armed 2014 raid conducted by O.U.R. in the Dominican Republic, which was filmed live by a camera crew to use in a proposed reality TV show, saying that it was likely to have traumatized the trafficked children.[3] Anne Gallagher, "the leading global expert on the international law on human trafficking",[43] wrote in 2015 that O.U.R. had an “alarming lack of understanding about how sophisticated criminal trafficking networks must be approached and dismantled” and called the work of O.U.R “arrogant, unethical and illegal".[3][44]
