this has me on a 90s ambient house kick, including this gem from Move D and friends

The problem with pretty much every giant retail company is that they barely tolerate their customers and they resent the hell out of their employees

I can’t believe this is real

not sure how many times I've read this 90s gem about ambient music and its musical lineage, but it's always a delight five thumbs up

This guy gets it.

We are the laughingstock of the world because of our moronic and psychotic president. Deservedly so.

The Department of Homeland Security is flooding social media platforms with subpoenas demanding they unmask the people behind anti-ICE accounts. This crackdown on speech shows EXACTLY why online age verification laws are so dangerous. Here's why: 🧵

hyper specific ask: is anyone aware of a mini zine for kids on what to look out for / do if ICE appears at school or in the neighborhood?

It was believed in medieval times that hedgehogs had spikes so they could roll over fruit to carry home to their children, which is not true but is a really cute idea

Facebook plans to put facial recognition in its glasses and they think we’re too stupid to fight back. Their internal memo: “We will launch during a dynamic political environment where many civil society groups that we would expect to attack us would have their resources focused on other concerns.”

Fuentes, yesterday: “Our #1 political enemy is women because women constrain everything, every conversation, every man, everything. They have to be imprisoned. They are the ones that are hurting the fertility rate. They're the ones making us sympathetic to poor people, which are also brown people.”

important: "The Department of Homeland Security has been quietly demanding tech companies turn over user information about critics of the Trump administration, according to reports... "...[for example] Homeland Security sought the identity of an anonymous Instagram account called @montocowatch..."

Screwston Antifascist Committee, I should note, mostly hands out food and zines at local anarchist fairs and shows up at protests + counter protests in the Houston area. They table at DIY shows. A paramilitary group this is not.

Will be interesting to see the posture that people take around this today. For my part, I'm glad to see that the white supremacists continue to make it clear how anti-Black and racist they are. It goes to the very top. This is what their weaponization of "woke" was always about.
