I mean, I would assume that historically India was considered part of the Orient seeing as Persia was and it’s much closer to Rome. Also the British started colonizing India in the 1700's. So not likely to have started in the Victorian era even if seeing India as part of Asia was new to British colonization.

It’s an Indian movie based around Indian Colonization. Not really what I would call particularly woke.

1890s?

I mean one is sad in that it’s pathetic. The other more so for the danger they pose.

Awfully brave of them. And honestly I’m surprised they got off so light given the regimes recent history of cracking down violently on protest actions of this type.

I mean, they are largely showing the views and interpretations of law and policy that they were picked to do. 

I’m not trying to argue what is and isn’t art. That’s more of a philosophical point and what is and isn’t changes based on time (people usebto argue about photography and CG for instance) and who you ask. Also, I don’t think it’s really an important distinction for a technology so early in it’s use (it’s usability and…

You are assuming that credit card companies would still process transactions for a site being criminally investigated for hosting child porn (which is possible but could expose them to bad PR and or legal action depending on what the specific criminal charges are and what the investigation shows). That people would…

Neat.

I’m not familiar with Canada’s laws, but it is quite possible that they would have beat that charge (they had moderators, removed content when they found it, and weren’t creating it themselves). So how effective that would have been is questionable. It could have also have severely effected revenue if successful and…

So, pretty much the same as any other media outlet and how they interact with their demographic. Not sure how that has anything to do with what I said.

Which are obviously important to the folks who read this blog. That and the Smith/Rock slap (which got what, like 8 related articles over 2 weeks).

Saying it increases the length of the weekend is a fairly privileged statement. A lot of positions don’t respect the weekend (what I mean is Saturday and Sunday aren’t days specifically off). It’s mostly middle class positions and above where your employer works on that schedule in that way.

To be fair, they have had a few articles on the uptick on anti-Asian violence. And also, it’s a largely Black focused news site. If it doesn’t involve Black folks, they often don’t focus on it (same way Jezebel generally focuses mostly on women and intersectional feminist issues (I would actually expect them to cover…

“Interesting it’s being executed by the same ghouls”

What was a quicker way to force Pornhub into making changes? It’s unfortunate it caused innocent people harm, but financial collateral is always a risk with going after a company’s ability to operate.

Curgently? Not that I have ever heard. I meant in relatively recent history (like the 40's and 50's).

I mean, you could easily attach his voice to being pro-genocide or some such if you wanted to.

Because it’s over and often incorrectly used, or because they were right that the automation of thier day meant destitution and starvation for them and thiers (through the removal of a massive employment sector)?

Good point.
