TPP

This is why I star­ted my boy­cott against Hol­ly­wood films and con­tent. Why des­pite my resolve being put to the test by my pro­cliv­ity towards geekery and nerdi­ness, I have refused to pay for tick­ets to watch The Hob­bit, The Dark Knight Rises last year, and turn­ing my back against Star Trek: Into Dark­ness this month.

Feudalism is Healthy and Well in Sarawak, Malaysia.

Corrup­tion, kick­backs, and steal­ing land from abori­gines is all clearly exposed in this 16-minute long under­cover exposé.
