  • It's currently a work in progress and it's often that articles don't go into full detail on that work but it links to this this article which goes into further detail and may answer some of your questions. Constructive comments are more appreciated than cynicism

  • I'm aware and certainly agree they should find a more ethical host.

  • Can anyone find a good top 100 movie list of 2025 so I can binge?

    Jump

  • The order of this list is highly debatable but this is a literal top 100 list. It might be easier to start with two critics top 10 lists here . Most big streaming sites like HBO are highlighting the movies they run that are up for awards but you might be able to find some on free sites like kanopy , although several are still in theaters.

    Jump

  • I'm not sure if you're asking me personally as I didn't publish the article so I can't answer for Solarpunk Stories but I'm aware of how problematic Substack is and I certainly agree that an alternative platform that's not centralized in corporate power that also works with Fascists would be more in line with Solarpunk ethics and praxis.

  • I think it was meant to be a very concise overview and update of their prior entry which elaborates a bit more. You can find that here . Those should definitely be included in a larger conversation but some might argue that those are solarpunk adjacent so maybe they wanted to keep it strictly to variations of solarpunk 🤷🏼‍♂️

  • Solar Panels that Use Peanut Shells, Instead of Some of The Rare Earth Metals.

    Jump

  • I'm glad we were able to find what were you looking for! Definitely the right place to crowdsource a question like this. Thank you for bringing it up! It really makes sense to put those shells to good use and especially relevant for Solarpunk and this community.

  • Solar Panels that Use Peanut Shells, Instead of Some of The Rare Earth Metals.

    Jump

  • I haven't seen that episode and I unfortunately can't provide the specific answer you're looking for but there does seem to be a good amount of of people doing research on using organic materials like peanut shells for energy related project and peanut shells are considered low cost and easy to source. There's a teen in Zimbabwe who worked on harvesting energy from Peanut shells . Scientists in Canada created a new capacitor from Peanut shells. A a physicist from Cheikh Anta Diop University in Senegal has done work on energy storage using Peanuts. There's been research into utilizing Peanut shells for solar desalination and a town in Argeinta uses them to keep the power on so I'm sure this is something we'll be hearing more about in the future

  • The article is attributed to Glanze Patrick and if you click their name you'll see a list of other articles they've written. I think it's meant to be written in a generic tone so I can see why you would ask. I assume the author is human but who knows if they used something. It can definitely be hard to tell these days. I certainly hope not.

  • Listing bullet points from the article is something I consider to be very low-effort. I posted two paragraphs. People can read further if they are inclined.

  • I'm not a bot, I assure you. i'm a human that's been on this instance for over 3 years that you've chosen to insult. What about the post was lazy? The condescending tone isn't appreciated.

  • Thanks for sharing your inside perspective!

  • Looking for some 60s film recommendations

    Jump

  • Since you like Psycho, I'd recommend Peeping Tom by Michael Powell or several movies by Mario Bava from the era like The Girl Who Knew Too Much and Blood and Black Lace. Eyes Without a Face is also Great. Also Rosemary's Baby and Repulsion by Polanski. For Japanese Films you should check out Yojimbo, Sword of Doom, and 2 by Seijun Suzuki ; Branded to Kill and Tokyo Drifter. Also check out Dr. Strangelove by Kubrick and if you like New Hollywood westerns , etc Bonnie and Clyde and The Wild Bunch are requisites. French New Wave stuff is important so maybe Breathless and Band of Outsiders and of course Melville's "Le Samourai." Spaghetti Westerns were very influential and Leone's Man With No Name Trilogy ( A Fistful of Dollars, For a few Dollars More, The Good the Band and the Ugly ) and Once Upon A time in The West are a good starting point. There are so many but those are a few recommendations that might send you down further rabbit holes.

  • As you should. The admins and moderators of this instance share in that sentiment. It would be a contradiction of this organization's mission statements and policies aimed at protecting artists if that's the case.
