leaders like trump are why sun tzu had to write a bunch of advice like "don't write your enemy a letter detailing what tactics you really don't want them to do"

if the government gives you a choice between going to prison or murdering children and you don't choose prison you never had a drop of courage inside you. You're a coward. A worm. A disgrace.

I get asked a lot what I'm giving up for Lent, and this year the answer is nothing. this is what I'm doing instead, and I'll tell you why, and you're invited to join in with me however it fits into your own spiritual or contemplative practices. drive.google.com/file/d/15NhY...

In "The Workers' Way to Freedom," Pannekoek warns that socialists in power often become "delegates of the capitalist class." When we hold office under capitalism, the pressure to manage the status quo, rather than transform it, is immense. 🧵 1/4

Alan Wake II (2023)

The John Wick series is so effective because it fully embodies the three major tenets of dumb guy fantasy: 1. being able to kick anyone’s ass, 2. living by a code of honor, and 3. paying for things with gold coins

Sort of gives away the lie that they're arresting hardened criminals who are drags on society when they're setting up traps to lure in Good Samaritans

The other day I pulled one of the drawers in the kitchen out and it must’ve come off track and I knew something was wrong with it but I just pushed it in and walked away, later on in the day my wife fixed it and I was like “I thought something was wrong there. Good job”

MyChart, I specifically asked not to get lab notifications. I will discuss this with a doctor next week thanks.

kind of funny that an olympian said they are here to represent "compassion, respect, and love for others" and some people automatically knew that was a statement against them

It's possible these tracks are not a good choice for my new ski playlist (I got gifted a set of helmet headphones)

I'm in Chile right now visiting family, and this is the type of shit I love about latin america.

What is violence? Is it tossing a tear gas canister back to the mercenaries who shot it at you? Is it blowing a whistle at bounty hunters who are trying to abduct someone? Perhaps, rather than asking whether an action is "violent," we should ask— Does it perpetrate oppression? Or interrupt it?

yeah seeing the "Minneapolis took off because the so-called 'activists' got out of the way and let normal people in" takes is really frustrating. that's not at all an accurate look at what's happening in Mpls or anywhere else. All these movements rely on cores of people who have experience.

this reminds me of the way i’ve seen susan bro speak about her daughter, heather heyer. when a fascist murders your child, you aren’t allowed to just grieve. you have to defend their memory, even their very grave.

There have been confirmed reports from local organizers in Portland ME that ICE is knocking on doors claiming to be from MaineCare and “offering help“

For @msnownews.bsky.social, I wrote an article about how ICE Watch is grounded in sociological theories of violence prevention. The reality is that most men will only commit public violence in extremely specific scenarios and ICE Watch disrupts the conditions necessary for escalation.

mrbeast should be a position like president rather than a specific guy, and we should be able to impeach — or otherwise overthrow — the current one and replace him with someone else. it’s time for us to install leftist mutual aid mrbeast. he will heal our broken nation
