Respite is pronounced re-SPITE? Not re-SPIT? Huh. Have you ever wondered why time is money, or why if your boss is in you have to pretend to do work while you're at your job? Wonder no more!
An incisive deconstruction of the arguments from both sides of the aisle. Because when it comes to politics, the middle is a great place to be.

When Patreon was first launched in 2013, it changed the landscape of digital media forever. Today it has paid out over $1 billion dollars to creators, but that success can't last forever. As a for-profit enterprise, it seems Patreon is on a collision course towards failure. Thankfully, there's an alternative: LiberaPay.

Being communist with no reservations, Boots Riley created the one of the most satisfying anti-capitalist feature films we’ve seen in a long-time. In it, megalomaniac CEO Steve Lift delivers the most important line in the film when caught in his evil scheme:
"I just didn’t want you to think I was crazy. That I was doing this for no reason because this isn’t irrational.”
But to make sense of it, we need to take a look back towards the greatest blunder of the 20th century: The Holocaust.

Every year we get a million and one new superhero properties. And most of them are just… okay. Rising above the sea of mediocrity, the best superhero shows are ones that, despite the larger than life encounters, reveal uncomfortable truths about the world around us.
Invincible easily joins the likes of The Boys and Watchmen in the hall of great, subversive superhero stories. While the latter two properties make social commentary an integral part of the story, Invincible opts for a more personal, character-driven drama. But that doesn't mean it can’t help us understand our world a little bit better.

Internet privacy, the issue everyone knows they should care about, but probably don’t. And why would we care, Google’s collecting our data to server us better ads, ooh no the horror! This, obviously isn’t the whole picture, but it’s what most people think about internet privacy. But just because it might be easier not to care, it doesn’t mean we should just abandon trying to keep our data private. Because the issue of privacy strikes at the very heart of who we are. And to figure out why, we need to go back in time.

From the Great Flood of the Bible washing away the sins of society to the lost city of Atlantis, humans love thinking about collapse. But collapse isn’t just an idea: this is a video about the real dangers of society collapsing in the near future. After predicting impending societal collapse in the 1970's, The Limits to Growth was buried by the opposition.
