Oh I agree, but a quick movie rewatch vs re-reading the entire book?
I rewatch this movie probably once every couple of years, and it’s just about that time. Thanks for the reminder!
10·3 months agoMy limited searching found that Amber alerts are generally controlled by regional police organizations. Indigenous tribes tend to not mesh well with local law enforcement, and as a result indigenous-related crimes tends to fall through the cracks due to lack of coordination / jurisdiction issues.
This sounds like an effort to allow alerts to be more (?) controlled by indigenous tribes, but still distributed in the manner that Amber alerts are.

Very excited for when I get cut off in my 2030 Polestar 3 and can adjust my honk volume dial all the way to 11 before Family Feud smashing that sucker through my dash and into the gates of hell.
Kinda blends two different internet memes.
Sources:
I’d recommend you go read / view both of the sources yourself, they’re each great in their own unique ways. The first is a horror manga about compulsion and death wishes, the second a light hearted joke about a kid’s block set.
In the above meme, the far right girl is reacting to the circle humanoid on the left finding “their” hole. But, of course, the circle humanoid should actually be in a circle hole, despite them fitting in a square hole.
SPOILERS AHEAD
Tap for spoiler
The Enigma (shortened the name, sue me) is an older manga about the discovery of a collection of human shaped holes in the side of a mountain. Two prominent characters in the story find holes that look to be carved specifically for their body type / size, and question whether they should go in “their” holes. I really don’t want to ruin the premise and conclusion here, as I really think you should read it yourself, but the story’s horror factor centers around the compulsion to enter “your hole”. You don’t know where it goes, or what’ll happen at the other end (if there is one). You may never get back out of your hole, but also your curiosity as to why it was made for you and what will happen if you go in weighs on your mind.
The Square Hole is a newer TikTok reaction video about a girl getting visibly more and more distressed as the original video’s narrator continues to put all the varied shape blocks from the set into the same hole. The first couple are correctly placed, but then each next block (that should go in “their own” hole) is put into the same single square hole. Funny responses from the girl reacting, and a generally wholesome video.
I kinda hate the fact I understand this meme. I’m gonna go outside and touch some grass now.
Edit: I am not active in the manga community, but here is the first link I found to read the full Enigma text. If there is another more ethical / more internet friendly version, feel free to comment it below my comment and I’ll amend my link.
Just some thoughts on where this may go.
If this continues to keep the public’s eye, Trump may offer Maxwell a pardon for “testimony”. May be truthful, may not, but basically gets her out of jail. Lying under oath carries a lower penalty and sentence than her current crimes, and this mostly prevents any related federal charges.
Or perhaps an offer of a pardon to stay silent until this dies down. I just checked and it doesn’t look like pardons need to be disclosed to the public, matters like ongoing court cases or sensitive matters can preclude disclosure. Not that legality has been stopping Trump from doing what he wants anyways.
Finally, he may just actually go for a full pardon of himself for these crimes. Doesn’t stop him from falling prey to states charges, which stands a better chance now that he’s served two terms.
IANAL, so feel free to correct me where wrong.
