Add another one to the great big board of "Urban Planning Debates: Academic Research vs. Some Guy"

I don't think imperialism is bad because it eventually hurts the citizens of the imperial core. it's a stunning proposition, I know, but perhaps we should consider that other people outside of the Core are also human beings.

The weak response from Can, EU and UN to Trump's flagrant crimes in Venezuela is striking. It exposes that much of the world has been cowed. Most notable exception: the Latin American left. That is why the Trump Admin has gone to enormous lengths to defeat the left across the continent. 1/3

lots of liberals out there posting like it's October 8th, 2023

I don't have a unique or special insight into the topic, but writing things out helps me clarify my thinking and I may as well put this somewhere, so:

"joy is an act of resistance" is not praxis and while im a firm believer that art is good for the soul even during hard times, you have got to be fucking real for a second and realize that drawing pictures is not gonna help someone who is being bombed by the US government

Today I talked to a Venezuelan friend who told me the story of her 90 year old relative in Caracas waking up to her windows shaking and fears of being invaded by an erratic US president who's been killing people in the ocean for months. People Live outside of Miami.

“Several things about Venezuela can be true at once” holy fuck somebody should preserve your brain in amber immediately because you are obviously The Most Reasonable Person Who Ever Lived

(Semafor) - The New York Times and Washington Post learned of a secret US raid on Venezuela soon before it was scheduled to begin Friday night — but held off publishing what they knew to avoid endangering US troops .. @semafor.com www.semafor.com/article/01/0...

Carney could basically shit on a picture of Venezuela and liberal diehards would applaud his diplomatic wit. Don't expect critical faculties at this point.

dr. strangelove was a documentary

To the nationalist reply guys: Bro you did not do the reading.

should be deeply shameful "narco-terrorist" has been allowed to even be taken seriously as a term for so many years. idiotic tooth fairy world

this is your mission. our pedophile president needs you to jump out of a helicopter to kidnap a head of state and his wife so some oil ceos can make a lot of money. we’ll be watching from a resort in florida that still serves wedge salad and checking how many retweets we get. good luck soldier

thinking and hoping the best for the Venezuelan communal movement tonight—a genuine beacon of light in the anti-capitalist world, and the standard bearer of socialism in Venezuela

economic coercion is a real reason why people go into the US military but anybody talking about this when we are doing every crime imaginable against non-combatants is completely unserious, economically coerced soldiers don't get some uwu smol bean exemption for being in an institution like this

if you are talking today about how bad maduro was and were alive, at all, during the run-up to the iraq war you are potentially the dumbest person to ever live

anyway. no war. oppose this at every level, in every way, and do not get sucked into these false debates about process. after all, both american parties are currently pro-genocide. america's hegemon *has* to be dismantled if there is to be anything resembling peace in our or future times

Cancel the LA Olympics, scrap the World Cup, the United States cannot be a trusted part of the international community so long as the White House operates this violently and with impunity.

fuck the united states

Surely nobody is this stupid. *Yes*, we will say that: we will roar, screech, foam at the mouth and squeal, and if any notable says “Isn’t this a bit like the US kidnapping the leader of Venezuela” then our politicians and media outlets will unify to scream abuse at them, too. Yet again!

I Constantly Thank God For Estrogen

truly truly truly extremely depressing to see people in non-visual creative fields posting AI videos or photos :) like are you stupid :)

if you skip I Need Help Immediately while you're listening to 1000 gecs you are weak and will not survive the winter

this 97 year old dimepiece still serves cunt the old fashioned way

DL trade? You mean like with BitTorrent?

One of the worst things about do-called AI is that it pits my students against me. Over decades of teaching, I have built relationships of trust with my students, where I don't bs them about the world they live in, and they don't bs me about the work they do for me about it. "AI" interrupts this.

I think if you're a guy named Salazar you gotta cool it on sending the troops south to assert control over rich oil deposits

pluribus got me wondering if Vince Gilligan has read BOTNS. whole thing is kind of an alzabo

The stakes for including trans athletes are real and high. Meanwhile, the idea of keeping sports “fair” is transparently a wedge designed to justify the exclusion of people from enriching—even lifesaving—activities. defector.com/what-does-a-...

it is a victory of Hitlerite thought that people are attempting to use Hitler’s own logic to explain the man himself, looking at his genes rather than from the socio-political factors that allowed him to rise

ponyo ponyo ponyo tiny little fish

The long-running ideological war on libraries, education, and government workers is not separate from AI boosterism. It is the same ideological war on human knowledge and expertise. In some cases AI is being used to directly supercharge this effort: www.404media.co/ai-is-superc...

for many reasons i don't necessarily subscribe to the platonic christian imagery of demons walking among humans but dog. his name is fucking Mr. Beast and he sells insane garbage to children. that is the work of a ClipArt ass red devil with the horns and pitchfork and goat hooves

What do you say? One of the best baseball games I've ever seen, but it broke the wrong way. Devastating, disappointing, brutal. But that shouldn't take away from what these Jays did this year. Absolutely my favourite Jays team, the most engaging, the easiest to root for, the most beautiful.

the sheer emotion in these blue Jays post-game interviews

100 years of darkness

well, at least Drake lost a ton of money tonight

These blue jays interviews really make them an extremely yaoi-able team. not saying that's a thing you should do just that the way these men talk about each other in a grand, romantic sense (not mocking that) really invites the form

pain

I'm rooting for Robert Mueller and the rule of law

my heart cannot handle this baseball
