Jester No Cap: hanrahan.substack.com/p/jester-no-...

In-depth no bullsh*t reporting from @hanrahan.tv on the blurred lines between governance, gangs, and what defines those who have a monopoly on violence. A must watch. 📺 : youtu.be/M7kVBXlEax4?...

“Analysis of nearly 500 bird species across North America has found that three-quarters are declining across their ranges, with two-thirds of the total shrinking significantly.” Terrible.

Creative director / artist Ben Ditto is building up a “Library of Forbidden Knowledge”. Really fascinating project. I love this. Have a look: t.me/ditto_nation...

"Yet the US and European countries that tout Israel as an ally that shares their values have issued barely a word of condemnation. They should be ashamed of their silence, and stop enabling Netanyahu to act with impunity..."

This design goes hard.

🇲🇲 Another 3D-printed FGC-9 firearm seen with a rebel fighter in Myanmar. This one has a long suppressor equipped much like the first Mk2 seen in Plastic Defence.

🇧🇷 "Bloodthirsty Brazilian police have redefined what it means to be a criminal..."

The Strange & Curious Tale of the Last True Hermit

🇮🇪 "Maintaining a defence force is fine, we already have one which we’ve quite happily neglected and woefully underfunded for decades. In fact, Ireland spends the least on defense in the EU, approximately 0.24% of its GDP..."

Disguised as YouTube slop, this is actually a very endearing and sincere video about people growing lonely in a dying virtual world. They're all revitalised when a new guy joins with a mission to make friends. Sincere and wholesome.

Rapper 50 Cent performing at Camp Anaconda in 2004 during the height of the Iraq war. Camp Anaconda was a safe R&R base where troops could relax or party on route in or out of the conflict. 50 apparently opened the show with "What Up Gangsta".

🇧🇷 Our first Away Days documentary has hit 100,000 views in four days! Not bad for a new project. Thanks to everyone who's watching, sharing, and supporting. This whole thing is completely independent. Watch Favela Government now: youtube.com/watch?v=M7kV... pic.x.com/hGO1GQKNvu

🇧🇷 A young gang member in Rio, part of Red Command (CV). He's wearing a knock-off Lacoste jumper and armed with a rifle almost as big as he is. Photo by me, on 35mm.

A Kurdish fighter of the Afrin Liberation Forces (HRE) in the streets with women in traditional dress in tow. Amazing photo.

🇯🇵 Aleph, the successor group of the Aum Shinrikyo doomsday cult, is under investigation for hiding hundreds of millions of yen in assets after it was ordered to pay victims of Aum Shinrikyo.

Five star activity.

ACTUALLY OUTSIDE

It really is. The poaching of shitlibs from Threads and Xitter really killed any interest in alternative viewpoints and news here. The discovery page has just become a cesspool of Facebook boomerist blue MAGA huffing the farts of the establishment.

Must watch: Amazing new doc with incredible access by @hanrahan.tv

23andMe sold the genetic data of 15 million people for $256 million to a pharmaceutical company called Regeneron. 🔗 www.404media.co/23andme-sale...

“Up Here Kids” — probably the best graffiti documentary I’ve ever watched. Got tired of some of the monologue stuff, but whatever. This is so original in how it’s put together. youtu.be/DQSBSbGfyrY

Away Days Podcast is an episodic documentary series focused on unreported stories from the fringes of society. With unique access and a straightforward style of on-the-ground reporting, the listener will be taken deep into the places they didn’t know existed. @hanrahan.tv @whysophiewhy.bsky.social

This goes *hard*. Thank you, @hanrahan.tv. Looking forward to the rest of the series! youtu.be/M7kVBXlEax4

No one does it like Jake. Not an easy watch, but if you can stomach it, it's absolutely worth a watch.

🚩 My new doc is out now 🚩 CV is the oldest gang in Brazil. It's considered a plague by the government, but for the people of the favelas they control, the gang *is* the government. Inside their areas, street justice rules all. We spent a week there: www.youtube.com/watch?v=M7kV...

The first installment of AWAY DAYS, the new project from @hanrahan.tv has dropped. Go check it out, it's important journalism being done well. www.youtube.com/watch?v=M7kV...

Silent Hill (1999) サイレントヒル

Grown adults behaving like babies for the past 10 years means I now have to blur five seconds of a spliff in my new documentary about Brazilian gangs so as to not be nerfed into a YouTube blackhole when it goes live. Media infantilisation nightmare. I hate this.

"VIP bodyguards of Vietnam Public Security simultaneously return fire and cover the target in a demonstration. The shielders have bulletproof briefcases that unfold into ballistic screens while the shooter unleashes bursts from his concealed AKS/AKMS." (via Lee Ann Quann)
