Why you might want to watch the new Superman movie - Jonathan Pageau > In this video I reflect on the symbolism behind Superman as a figure rooted in American mythology and post-WWII identity. I also discuss the new Superman movie by James Gunn, which actually has an interesting twist that can help us understand not just the superhero archetype, but also the crucial and relevant question of the immigrant or convert. I found this analysis of the new Superman movie interesting. I saw the movie recently and enjoyed it more than I expected. It wasn't an amazing movie but it was much better than I expected it to be. If you read the "[Return of the Strong Gods](https://stacker.news/items/933342)" which I have [discussed](https://stacker.news/items/975849) a couple times, you might enjoy this video as it hits on many of the same themes around the post war consensus. If you don't want the movie spoiled go watch it and come back and watch this video and let me know what you think about both. I didn't love the movie but its worth watching if you have the time. Have you seen the movie? What do you think about Pageau's look at the symbolism? I think he's on to something here.

I get it when normies complain about stuff like censorship. They don't understand bitcoin, they don't know Nostr exists, they don't understand tech in general. But bitcoiners that complain on X about this crap... People that complain that some bitcoiner is being throttled or banned on YouTube, X, or whatever walled garden is hot today. We've had tools to fight this stuff for a long time. RSS Nostr Bitcoin Be the change. Don't beg Elon or whoever runs YouTube today. Vote with your feet. Use the tools.

How hard is it to run your own servers? | DHH and Lex Fridman As someone that has ran small Linux servers and self-hosted things for a while I think DHH is more right than wrong. There are trade-offs and I use both self-hosting and cloud tools of all kinds. More devs should experiement with Linux and self-hosting. In many ways its never been easier to do.

Been thinking about this lately. The older I get and more life I experience the more clear this thought becomes. **Most of what we love about living in America is thanks to the cultural consequences of the Christian faith.** Not *Democracy*, not the *Constitution*, not *Capitalism*. The crumbling that we see around us at its root is caused by a massive turn away from God, our faith, and our traditions. Families are the next layer and the destruction of the family is predicated by the obsession with self. The idolization of our own wisdom, knowledge, and desires over the humble realization that God's riches are far greater than any carnal pleasure we might desire. As C.S. Lewis wrote > "It would seem that Our Lord finds our desires not too strong, but too weak. We are half-hearted creatures, fooling about with drink and sex and ambition when infinite joy is offered us, like an ignorant child who wants to go on making mud pies in a slum because he cannot imagine what is meant by the offer of a holiday at the sea. We are far too easily pleased." ― C.S. Lewis, The Weight of Glory, and Other Addresses I think more and more people are seeing these things, counting the cost, and returning to faith and tradition. As followers of Jesus it is not a time to be discouraged but rather look up to our hope and be beacons of truth and love.

Why Pam Bondi’s Epstein Client List Narrative Is A Complete Lie - Matt Walsh Walsh who is a pretty big Trump supporter from what I've seen did a really good job calling out Bondi and as well as Trump for this completely insane joke of an response to the Epstein case. Why are you posting about this again @kepford? Well, I was driving to a restaurant and had the radio on. The news report played a clip of Trump responding to the criticism he's receiving about all this. Its absolutely absurd. He's calling it all a democrat plot. This is absurd as the Russia collusion conspiracy theory that was used against Trump. Wait... its way worse. At least that was from his opponents and this was something he promised and many of his lackeys promised over and over again. What's worse is according to the report the case on Epstein has been closed... Is that right? Its closed? Where are all the arrests? These hundreds (according to Bondi) of victims were abused by who? One guy? Really? I mean, reports have been around for a long time that its over 2,000 victims. Guys, I don't care if Epstein killed himself or if he was murdered. What I do care about is all of the victims who will never see a bit of justice. I don't think we will ever see a single elite held to account. To be clear, I never thought we would... but many of you that supported Trump did think this. Its likely a factor in people voting for the orange man. What message does this send to the elite scum that abuse people? You will be protected. That's the message. Keep abusing your power. This is dark but its the only conclusion that makes sense to me. This sure isn't justice. This isn't law and order. Its protecting predators. Remember when the Trump supporters were calling out grooming? Yeah, where are they now? This all just disgusts me. There are all kinds of theories on what is really going on but you know what... I don't care. This is complete BS. Everyone knows it. Trump knows it, and his admin knows it. I see this as a turning point. Will the public that support this man actually show integrity and hold him to account? I'm not optimistic. The Trump fans I know are pretty quiet about all this. Its pathetic. On a brighter side its nice to see someone like Matt Walsh actually speaking up. There are others that supported the Donald that are as well but its not nearly enough in my opinion. I chalk this up as yet another example of their being two classes in the US. It isn't the red and blue. Its us and them. The owners of the country are a small group and we ain't in it. I love America but I despise the state. Trump is showing himself to _be_ the swamp. I hope more people realize this.

Just occured to me that more people are offended by fake writing and content inflation (AI Slop) than monetary inflation. If you disagree I'd recommend you talk to more normies.
