As far as we know, these are not yet death camps, but they follow the camp's logics. Zones of exception, where the Law is equally unapplicable to the detainees or the sovereigns who organize the terror. Where political beings are transformed into bodies of bare life.

There are no words for how evil this is

My favorite comment on the FT story

Sandwich man leaving court

Cool photo I took a few seconds after waking up when Joe Camel hit me with his car

In the span of about 4 minutes Mom just asked me successively to define anarchism, Marxism, and communism, so it's going great

convinced that our society's addiction to extremely didactic YA literature is the blame for this.

Lol. Lmao

A group in San Diego has been patrolling neighborhoods to identify potential ICE presence. They keep watch for vehicles that may belong to federal agencies, and use livestreams, radios, and social media to keep communities informed.

This evening's update from the U.S. National Hurricane Center on #Melissa is ominous, and explicitly mentions: "catastrophic and life-threatening flash flooding...extensive infrastructural damage...and potentially prolonged isolation of communities" in both Jamaica & Haiti.

We’re generating too much content for Adam Curtis to sort through

My mom: "what's that documentary called? The resistance that will never be transmitted?" Me: "......the revolution will not be televised?"

Always take sentences using “the Cloud” or “the Internet” and try replacing those phrases with “A shed in Virginia” to see how they hold up. “Our service is fully based in a shed in Virginia”; “All my files are in a shed in Virginia”; “A shed in Virginia was designed to survive a nuclear war”, etc.

Rabbi Arthur Waskow (1933-2025), זכרונו לברכה ("may his memory be for a blessing"). A trailblazer and champion of the religious Jewish left for decades. A thinker and activist who put his body on the line many, many times for other people and for our non-human relatives and the earth.

In social movement studies, we talk about how marches and protests expand the threshold of acceptable risk so that people take more and bigger social risks IN PUBLIC, EN MASSE. This is extremely important for the bourgeois white folks holding signs and building social rapport.

Obviously there's a perspective that says "build your mass org, not everything needs a reaction" is the only viable action in the face of the fascist cliff, but the sense of national precipice is feeling severe, and to refuse to build on unprecedented mass action strikes me as real folly.

“The indictment brought against the men — Cameron Arnold and Zachary Evetts — appeared to be the first time that terrorism charges had been filed against anyone said to be associated with antifa…” www.nytimes.com/2025/10/16/u...

To-nite

In some ways this is the government now

It's barely past 9:30. Am I about to rewatch Perfect Blue?

"This website is free" No. This website comes at a terrible cost

Last 4. Saving Face was really delightful, living with Mom is introducing me to a whole library of 00s lesbian romcoms and it is truly a gift.

Artwork used internally at DIC Entertainment during the production of the Super Mario World cartoon, replacing Marge Simpson with Mario. According to a former DIC employee, this was made due to an inside joke at the studio, though the exact nature of the joke has been lost.

‪From “THEY’RE VIOLENTLY CAMPING OUT, SEND THE SWAT TEAM” to “where are the young protestors doing peaceful civil disobedience to stop authoritarianism 🥺‬”

barack obama: democracy itself is at stake, can you help us? lin-manuel miranda [dressed as ben franklin, singing to the tune of "i got 5 on it"]: i got bifocals

kaleb was right about damn near everything and not that it’s my business to render judgments but for him to be the one who died and not one of many much dumber and worse people is just hateful to me

Doing great

Unfortunately the 62 second fight sequence in "Dance Like You Want To Win," the eighth episode of Neon Genesis Evangelion, belongs up there with Fantasia and Who Framed Roger Rabbit

The brain tricks us constantly. It mistakes scrolling and "seeking information" for DOING THINGS. That is not doing. You have to act.

Guy on MSNBC says "the neck is very vital." Cable news.

please do not post things you don’t want to see on The Free Press and Fox News later this evening

Abel Ferrara was cooking with this movie

What a grotesque loss of touch with the whole idea of ‘right’. The Taliban’s strict command about ‘no skin contact between women and unrelated men’ means rescuers leave injured but surviving women under earthquake rubble, even as they retrieve the dead first. www.indiatoday.in/world/story/...

We should also consider setting up a Regional Emergency Management Administration to offer mutual aid and coordination for disaster recovery.

NASA had to spend a lot of the last 40 years, from Challenger to Columbia and since, trying to fix an internal culture of reluctance to report safety concerns. Historically, no one wanted to be the person reporting a problem without also having a solution. Safety regulations are written in blood.

JOANNA NEWSOM: *playing the harp while hooting and growling* ANDY SAMBERG: that's great hon

One cool thing about looking for work for the last 15 months is that the job market has literally gotten worse every week.
