Nobody really creates anything anymore. They only acquire, which is exactly what this whole list details. There's more of Disney acquiring than they did creating.
Well, they wouldn't be far from that. I mean, they did completely erase a whole universe of continuity and dictated their own canon over the license. And they'll make said jedi kids camp canon somehow and will crowbar that into mainline canon too. Because we can't have nice things, we can't have mature narratives or things that actually constitute as world building, instead they stifle and neuter any of that.
100%. They seem intent on making the same cookie cutter movies and tvs shows so people will be conditioned to only like that style. The establishment of the Walt Disney company and its consequences have been a disaster for the entertainment world.
Disney already owned well over 50% of Hulu, many of their shows on there are already on Disney+ outside the US. IMO this is nothing like Disney buying Star Wars or Marvel or ESPN or Fox.
Here’s a list of companies that Disney created shortly before the buyout was confirmed.
Those are companies that Disney has acquired over decades, they didn’t create any of them
‘be kind’ is more a reminder for myself to follow the golden rule. this NOVA episode has been airing on my OTA DTV PBS channel 1. I’m assuming it is based on science but haven’t verified it’s sources. Yet another fascinating subject I’ll never have time to study. Presents some interesting theories about plant, fungi cooperation that got me googling(this post). It is currently airing on my local TV channel and like most things on PBS is free to watch online: www.pbs.org/wgbh/…/ancient-earth-life-rising/click ‘no thanks’ unless you want to subscribe. I use ad blockers so don’t know if they run ads. appears to have analytics by default. https://lemmy.world/pictrs/image/78f1b75f-5840-465b-8672-6103836d5d21.pngbtw, wtf is up w/this group? lemmy.world/c/pbstried to post there and it timed out I guess
What is this low-effort crap? Why are we posting Google searches in the science community!? Could this not just be a sticky post or something for the sidebar?
Is that an actual question or a hypothetical? Which “site” do I like? I like a few websites (lemmy.world being one of them) if that is what you are asking.
Check out Fantastic Fungi as well. I believe they touched on this subject too. Not to mention, the camera work was phenomenal. (I got to see some of the early time lapse footage as my brother contributed to that film.)
The way fungi has developed over the last 650 million years is crazy and it’s super interesting. It is, by far, one of the most resilient forms of life on earth. Also, even though there has been a lot of research, we are only starting to scratch the surface about the importance of fungi in our daily lives.
While I started growing magic mushrooms for fun, I have started digging deeper into mycology in its entirety and it is a super fascinating subject.
Do a broad search on Lemmy (or scour my profile) for most of the budding mycology communities if you are interested. They are slow for now, but there are plenty of lurkers that will answer questions or chat if prompted.
This has been my main question these few days, the ever hyped and ‘perfect’ Iron Dome. And Mossad, an Intelligence agency considered one of the best in the world. Where did the failure happen?
Don’t get me wrong. This attack was a tragedy. But what happened to the security infrastructure that Israel is so proud of
Especially when they’re in trouble for corruption charges and making sweeping changes to their country’s justice system to help themselves at the detriment of their democracy?
I hate agreeing with conspiracy theories but everyone here gets what they want. Everyone being Hamas and Bibi, and what they want being sticking to power.
When you look into the kind of stuff that happens worldwide, you’ll quickly realise that the usual conspiracy theories become tame in comparison to the real world. There’s a credible reason why an apartheid state would synthesise conditions for further oppression.
As a lesser known example, is Operation Car Wash in Brazil. You might remember a few years ago current President Lula was under investigation for corruption. Then the Car Wash leaks[1] happened and showed the whole thing was a right wing legal campaign with actual US agents involved.
It was reported that Mr. Dallagnol had called Lula da Silva’s arrest “a gift from the CIA”.
That is just the thing. It was the same with GB and the IRA. Terrorist organization and the hard-line governments they oppose have a simbiotic relationship to their mutual benefit and the detriment of anybody else.
The dome is pretty great but hamas claims 5k missiles launched and other sources say at least 2k. There’s no way they’re going to intercept them all. As for the intelligence failure, who knows.
I don’t think it’s a conspiracy. It’s the first question my wife asked when I told her about it. Neither of us believe that this could have happened without Mossad knowing about it.
To be fair, it’s possible for an intelligence agency to know of a possible attack, and not have anything done about it, without a conspiracy to let it happen, if issues with communication between parts of said agency or between it and the government as a whole lead to warnings not being properly shared with the right people or not being properly acted upon.
I think the world is full of secret agencies, that are less competent than they claim.
Mossads public image was to neither deny or acknowkledge. It is not hard to imagine, that the world and the mossad itself were misjudging. Hybris is a hell of a problem.
War has changed. Drones, internet and new MANPADS have eroded Israel’s technological supremacy as shown in Ukraine vs Russia. Now it is more risky for Israel to go against their enemies. Already there’s footage of the vaunted Merkava tank blown to pieces. Also, this was the perfect storm:
The US is preoccupied with political infigthing (thanks, Republitards!)
The Israeli government was busy oppressing it’s own Jewish people because they drunk too much rightwing koolaid (thanks, Trumpettes!)
Item no. 2 made Israel lose a lot of support from the West.
Technological weapons breakthroughs in Ukraine (thanks, Putin!)
They made their bed, and now they have to sleep in it. The balance of power has shifted. I forsee Israel using nukes in the next 5 to 10 years out of desperation but it will backfire spectacularly.
I thought it was to go to war? Before that the US pubic was super anti-joining WWII (like 80+%), then all of a sudden, for the first and last time in history of logic, in the middle of a world conflict no less, they put all of their navy eggs in one lil basket & announced that very publicly to everyone.
it was actually done to prevent a war, as weird as it may sound.
It was meant to intimidate the Japanese and prevent them from attacking the US. kind of a “look at us, we put our fleet closer to you, we are ready to fight you, so don’t even try to attack us!” move. didn’t really work out as planned though.
It was also done to intimidate the Japanese into stopping committing their Atrocities in China.
So no, it was most certainly not done to enter a war.
I know what was the formal rhetoric, yet nobody can explain how grouping ships (that Japanese already knew about & their numbers didn’t suddenly increase) in a very defenseless way helps intimidate anyone that does not come for a guided tour - which wasn’t really needed as they intentionally posted detailed photos in papers & sent the seamen on vacation.
Not to mention that you can’t intimidate someone with a bad tactical decision, this isn’t a split second decision-making, all of it takes months of planning. And all the documented warnings within the military were just ignored as false positives.
And US didn’t really give a damn about China at that time (no political pressure either), but they owned quite a lot of debt and other interests towards various European countries. But the public was still full of veterans from previous wars & Nazi propaganda was hitting strong in US (eg rich manufacturers & exporters like Ford, but also “common folk” responded to their, em, “racial theories”).
But above all that, everytime since the civil war when US arms industry didn’t get a big hike in spending seemingly extremely provoked preventable attacks happen that saway the public option in a big way for the next two decades (then hippies come, get criminalized, a few years of peace, etc).
So in about 10 years or so US will rig live nukes (in a random city like Las Vegas) & connect them to a big red bottom, pay Hollywood to make action movies about it … then sad times of money over mass tragedy continue.
On January 27, 1941, Grew secretly cabled the State Department with rumors passed on by the Peruvian Minister to Japan: “Japan military forces planned a surprise mass attack at Pearl Harbor in case of ‘trouble’ with the United States.” – wiki/Joseph_Grew
Edit: Oh, my bad, US did go beyond politics & actively blockaded resources to Japan.
