As one might expect, it's an hour of fluff whitewashing the bloody history of African gold mining and downplaying the gold industry's role in propping up apartheid for the sake of profits, put together by people calling themselves the World Gold Council like a bunch of C-list Bond villains. — Read the rest The post A documentary about the Idris Elba "Gold" documentary YouTube viewers can't escape from appeared first on Boing Boing.
Lil Nas X drops first new music in a year, to howls of complaint from right-wing evangelists

Hungry fox makes a bizarre noise that's a mixture of a squawk, a scream, and a meow
I can't stop watching this adorable hungry fox named Sophie begging for food. She's so dramatic, she should win an Oscar! She's not actually starving, she's very well fed and taken care of.
