    New Video Shows Moment Cops Savagely Beat Fellow Officer They Mistook for Protestor
    https://thefreethoughtproject.com/new-video-shows-moment-cops-savagely-beat-fellow-officer-they-mistook-for-protestor/
    St. Louis, MO — Earlier this year, a trial took place for several cops accused of savagely beating one of their own after mistaking him for protester. The results of the trial were less than desirable, however, video has been released this week showing the attack unfold and will be used in a second trial. The officers in question—Dustin Boone, Steven Korte, Christopher Myers, and Randy Hays—were part of what was called a “civil disobedience team” to crack down on violence at protests. Their tactics, however, involved beating up innocent protesters for filming them and this was found out after they beat a fellow cop, Luther Hall, who was undercover as a protester.

    For years now, Super Mario Bros. The Movie Archive has been working to obtain and restore a bunch of deleted scenes from Nintendo’s 1993 disaster. That work is now largely done, leaving us with a sort of “director’s cut” of the film that runs for 20 minutes longer than the original.

    Predictably, people want to rail Samsung’s rejected AI mascot
    https://www.polygon.com/22463342/samantha-samsung-explainer-memes-online-rule-34-origin-ai-myth
    Samsung is in the news for an unexpected reason — everyone wants to smooch a new mascot character that was created for the brand. A design firm named Lightfarm created these images with a marketing company owned by Samsung, but the final product was never incorporated into any kind of campaign. Instead, the images were stored on the Lightfarm site for some time until the company deleted the post. Now Samantha Samsung lives on, thanks to a sudden burst of popularity over the long weekend. She’s a bright-eyed, perky lady who likes jamming to tunes on her Samsung phone, browsing apps, and texting friends. She’s also the new love interest of seemingly the entire internet, which became enamored with her overnight. Through the long weekend, the internet created a bunch of Samsung content. Much of it is not safe for work; the “rule34” subreddit is absolutely flooded with smutty Samantha content. She’s also taking off on TikTok. It is a genuinely appealing character model, like a Persona character run through a Pixar design, so it’s not a complete surprise that she’s popular.

    '#KarmaIsReal': Boaters Harass Family With Pride Flag Moments Before Vessel Catches Fire
    https://www.newsweek.com/karmaisreal-boaters-harass-family-pride-flag-vessel-catches-fire-1596414
    A boat caught fire with three people on board after they allegedly circled another boat and harassed its passengers for displaying LGBTQ pride flags. The boaters with the pride flags, who rescued the injured from the water, have described the incident as an act of karma. Twitter user @retro_ushi_, who identifies as trans and queer, told the story on social media and said: "These people harassed my family because we were flying gay pride flags in Moses Lake, Washington, by racing around us and shouting gay slurs. Then, their boat literally blew up! #KarmaIsReal" They added: "And just ONE more tidbit to really drive the karma in there. The driver literally s*** his pants and everyone saw when his shorts fell off in the water."

    The Real Shortages in the U.S. Economy
    https://prospect.org/api/content/13238422-b2ab-11eb-848d-1244d5f7c7c6/
    The supply shortage everyone is talking about involves semiconductors, the essential hardware in electronic devices as small as a cellphone and as big as an airplane, and everything in between. The lack of computer chips caused several factories to suspend production; the auto industry lost 27,000 jobs in April alone due to this shortage. Beyond autos, hardware companies like Apple, tractor suppliers like Caterpillar, and even a small company that manufactures electronic dog-washing booths have been affected. And these production snarls have downstream effects; rental car companies that cut their fleets in the pandemic have found it hard to replenish with more vehicles, and freight rail services don’t have cars to move around and are losing business. It’s true, as Kevin Drum says, that this kind of scarcity was largely (though not entirely) due to stupidity among manufacturers, which reduced their orders for chips during COVID and then never ramped them back up until it was too late. But that in itself was indicative of a comforting fiction our economic overlords tell us about just-in-time production, the idea that we should remove all slack from the system of supply logistics and only bring raw materials to the production process, or goods to retail markets, at the very moment that they are needed. This invites catastrophe, of the kind we’re seeing now, as those same people realize to their horror that they can’t get everything just in time anymore.
