by Alex Billington September 23, 2021Source: Vimeo "Have you forgotten? Or are you just afraid?" Dekanalog Releasing has debuted an official US trailer for an acclaimed Taiwanese horror film titled Detention, directed by John Hsu. This originally opened in Taiwan back in 2019, and is finally showing in the US after playing at various festivals - including Fantasia, Busan, and the New York Asian Film Festival last year. Set in 1962 in Taiwan, during the time of the White Terror. Martial law is in full force. In a time of extreme repression, all ideas considered to be dissident are banned, and the culprits are tortured or executed. Adapted from a video game, based on true events, this "masterful debut from director & co-writer John Hsu creates at once a shocking historical drama, melancholy coming-of-age tale + nightmarish horror film that recalls the masterworks of Guillermo del Toro, and with enough blood, striking sound design, art direction, and special effects to evoke the best of Silent Hill." The film stars Gingle Wang, Fu Meng-po, Tseng Ching-hua, Cecilia Choi, & Hung Chang Chu. Horror fans have been raving about it for a while and now it's finally getting a theatrical release here.…

 Gavia Baker-Whitelaw Internet Culture Published Sep 23, 2021   Updated Sep 23, 2021, 12:11 pm CDT When it comes to surreal memes, no one does it better than Tumblr. The latest is inexplicable on its surface, and only makes a modicum of sense when you find out where it came from: An influx of aquatic image macros with the slogan, “There are many benefits to being a marine biologist.” Over the past month, this meme has spread from Tumblr to Facebook and Reddit, and it’s basically the polar opposite of relatable content. That’s because the meme literally began in someone’s dream. The origin point was Tumblr user @pixellecutie, who on Aug. 22 posted the first “marine biologist” meme and wrote, “Had a dream where this became the new meme for a bit.” This proved to be catnip for Tumblr’s neo-dadaist sense of humor, leading to a thread of copycats. Every social media platform has its own tone of popular memes, from Facebook’s banal “share if you agree” content to Twitter’s repetitive pop-culture threads. But while the biggest Facebook, Twitter, and Instagram memes are geared toward self-expression, Tumblr prefers stuff that makes no sense whatsoever. (The marine biologist meme did quickly catch on…

A judge in the United States has ordered Facebook to release records of now-closed accounts connected to anti-Rohingya violence in Myanmar, according to the Wall Street Journal. The judge in Washington, DC, criticised Facebook for failing to hand over information to investigators seeking to prosecute the country for international crimes against the Muslim minority Rohingya, the newspaper said. Facebook had refused to release the data, saying it would violate a US law that bars electronic communication services from disclosing users’ communications. But the judge said the posts, which were deleted, would not be covered under the law, according to the Wall Street Journal. The Reuters news agency could not immediately access details of the ruling, and Facebook did not immediately respond to a request for comment. Momentous decision on Facebook’s obligation to disclose information relevant to the #Myanmar genocide case brought by #TheGambia at the #ICJ, one of the foremost examples of the relevance of social media to modern atrocity prevention & response: (1/4) — Shannon Raj Singh (@ShannonRSingh) September 23,  » Read More

DEL RIO, Texas (AP) — For the final leg of his journey from Chile to the United States, Haitian migrant Fabricio Jean followed detailed instructions sent to him via WhatsApp from his brother in New Jersey who had recently taken the route to the Texas border.His brother wired him money for the trip, then meticulously mapped it out, warning him of areas heavy with Mexican immigration officials.“You will need about 20,000 pesos (about $1,000 U.S. dollars) for the buses. You need to take this bus to this location and then take another bus,” recounted Jean, who spoke to The Associated Press after reaching the border town of Del Rio.What Jean didn’t expect was to find thousands of Haitian migrants like himself crossing at the same remote spot. The 38-year-old, his wife and two young children earlier this month joined as many as 14,000 mostly Haitian migrants camped under a Del Rio bridge.A confluence of factors caused the sudden sharp increase at the Texas town of about 35,000 residents. Interviews with dozens of Haitian migrants, immigration attorneys and advocates reveal a phenomenon produced partly by confusion over the Biden administration’s policies after authorities recently extended protections for the more than 100,000…

September 22, 2021 11:23 PM Posted: September 22, 2021 11:23 PM SARCOXIE, Mo. – The City of Sarcoxie announces today that it is shutting down public comments on all its Facebook pages. Mayor Don Triplett made the announcement on social media on behalf of the Board of Alderman. The Board approved the decision at its September 7th meeting. The post states the decision was made in part because social media trolls “spew hate, attack our citizens or vilify the City most of us are proud to call our hometown.” The statement continues and discusses how the City’s residents deserve better. “At its worst, we have seen innocent citizens brutalized by these keyboard warriors on our sites. These folks can do that on their own social media with their like-minded followers. Our citizens deserve better,” the post states. Mayor Triplett spoke to KOAM today. He says, “Sometimes these attacks are personal and you can’t count on a content editor to always do it the right way. I don’t want somebody like that to drag down one of our good people whenever they’re having a bad day.  » Read More
