The new ICE song by Jesse Welles nails it. ICE isn’t recruiting heroes, it’s recruiting the bitter, the rejected, the ones desperate for a badge to cover their failures. Losers with power become the most dangerous kind. (c/o Caroline Codsi)

The Social Destructiveness of AI with John Sanbonmatsu, Troy Jollimore, and Peter S. Fosl on the Peace and Social Justice program, KZFR 90.1FM. www.kzfr.org/broadcasts/4...

I would love to know whether Wayne Hsiung and/or DxE have been the recipients of Effective Altruism money--and if so, just how much. Because the note of self-abjection in this apologia to welfarism resembles the Zinoviev–Kamenev Trial. @dxeofficial.bsky.social blog.simpleheart.org/p/i-was-wron...

Had a great conversation this AM with Cyrus Webb on Amazon Live. It was especially nice hearing the perspective of someone in the South (Mississippi) about these issues. Shout-out to my friend @rcojones.bsky.social for recommending a better mic setup! www.amazon.com/live/broadca...

The Philosophy of ‘Severance’. www.kzfr.org/broadcasts/4...

Today, 5pm Pacific, a one-hour discussion on the Philosophy of ‘Severance’ on Philosophers on Culture at kzfr.org. My innie will be there.

“The results of the 2024 election forced a reckoning in legacy media, where they had to confront the fact that they were wrong and Sanders was right when it came to electoral politics.” www.salon.com/2025/01/13/w...

Amazing to see how suddenly Republicans and conservatives are keen on hiring more government employees (firefighters!), having higher government budgets, and investing more in infrastructure. Surprise!

I don't say "plant-based diet" because that's what we all have: the choice is between "plant-based-via-an-animal" and "just eat the plants".

I often feel like Cassandra, having foreseen the rise of US fascism, pandemics, global warming, and ecological collapse more than 25 years ago. "Normality" blindsides us to catastrophe, even when it's standing right on our doorstep. Start preparing for avian flu now. www.forbes.com/sites/bryceh...

"it was even more baffling that Democrats had left the anti-war lane wide open for [Trump] by leaning into a tired, curdled militarism as a substitute for an actual foreign policy vision" www.theguardian.com/us-news/ng-i...

There is a substantial literature in critical theory of technology, debating back a century, yet every insight from that tradition appears to be absent from this conference, which fails to grapple with the destructive features of AI or its overall impact on society, animals, and the Earth's ecology.

John Sanbonmatsu @jsanbonmatsu.bsky.social and I just published a paper, "Veganism and Capitalism", in 'The Plant-based and Vegan Handbook'. Check it out! rcjones.me/wp-content/u...
