#OtD 25 Sep 1968 Seattle city council brought in a gun-control law at the behest of the Republican mayor to prevent self-defence patrols by the Black Panthers. Many gun-control laws were introduced around then with NRA support to disarm African-Americans shop.workingclasshistory.com/collections/...

I enjoy stories of bureaucracies suffering from intrinsic vulnerabilities like this. I’m reminded of the final minute of this clip, showing an operation with a similar target: the Nazi records needed for the imminent conscription of thousands of Norwegians. Wheee! youtu.be/x_KMPLVYhL8?...

btw in 1988 I spun them as a radio DJ so I knew their costumes in the album photos but only en route to the show did I first ponder, as the acid started to kick in, “whoa I wonder if they actually wear those costumes onstage” it was a few years till they started slaughtering politicians onstage tho

If you wouldn’t go to someone for advice, don’t take their criticism either.

A friendly reminder from THE MANAGEMENT. Reading is rebellion.

Disney execs hastily assembling Andor S3 about a group of charismatic Coruscant businessmen who just keep their head down and work with the Empire until the Battle of Endor and then say they were actually against the Empire all along and everyone cheers

side note that the “rapture” was invented by an american evangelical grifter 200 years ago & is not remotely biblical in origin (not that any basis whatsoever could make it any less goofy and groundless)

No particular reason

Door is wrong.

Oh so you’re against political violence? I didn’t know you were a police abolitionist. Glad to hear it.

Hi! I write WEIRD LUCK, an urban fantasy/sci-fi webcomic, with occasional co-writing from @andrewmreichart.bsky.social & amazing art by @sonofwitz.bsky.social. Vol 1 (over 100 pages) is complete; now running a series of prequel tales with guest artists. Vol 2 launches 1/15! weirdluck.net/about/

There’s no “probably” about it. If petty grievance “makes” you fascist, you’re already fascist.

TFW the megamix serves up some random metal(?) song and you’re like “I haven’t got the foggiest idea who this could possibly be” and then the vocals kick in to chant a quick phrase and you’re like “oh duh it’s Municipal Waste” #namethattune

Brian Kilmeade endorses euthanizing homeless people: "Involuntary lethal injection, or something. Just kill them."
