This is how it started in the Transnistria region of Moldova in 1989 a year before Russia's Transnistrian War broke out; in the Abkhazia and North Ossetia regions of Georgia in 1989 three years before the Russian invasion; in the Donbas region of Ukraine in 2014 months before the Russian invasion.

The political press very clearly understands “truth” as a social agreement, a compromise position between everyone important enough to have an opinion. It did not reflect on how this would allow dedicated liars to go all-in on lies again and again and dramatically shift the position.

I'm so happy that the Knight of the Seven Kingdoms seems to be exactly what it should be, a class struggle story with all the dimensions and subtext of the novellas. 🖤 Also not to harp on it, but it may be the first time any of the ASoIaF shows had two working class characters talk to each other. 🫣

The day will come when all these skirmishes and battles, these moments of defiance will have flooded the banks of the Empire's authority and then there will be one too many.

I'm reading Project Hail Mary and it's the best sci fi I've read in a loooong time. Also really wholesome and uplifting. I highly recommend it to counteract all that burning world anxiety.

What a great piece! This just gets better and better as you read. prospect.org/2025/12/11/s...

Can't wait to see how the current government tries to weasel out of this ruling and the next one simply ignores it or declares it invalid for some made-up reason. Otherwise, a landmark ruling for a lot of people who can afford the trip.

“The government is allowed to post real death threats on social media but you’re not allowed to post sarcastic death threats on social media” is actually a pretty apt distillation of power and violence

A fun little remix of a profound and inspiring tale #drumandbass #taxtherich #acab

A friend of mine was on Charlie Kirk's "watch list" of Black professors. She received so many death and rape threats that her university offered her a security detail for the walk to class. This is Kirk's legacy. You would never know it from reading all of these legacy newspaper op-eds about him.

So... why is the writing of Star Trek: Strange New Worlds so damn awful this season? I feel terrible for the actors...

I posted a #djmix of sexy #industrial songs because 1. it's fun and 2. I want to prove that you can have proper transitions, even though the genre makes it difficult and most people mixing industrial don't. Enjoy. It's NSFW obviously, because of the theme. 🖤 www.mixcloud.com/emotionalsup...

Dr Tarek Loubani is a former #cccamp and #32c3 speaker, and an absolute hero. He's been working in #Gaza for many years, and also making open source alternatives to overpriced medical equipment, especially the kind you use in disaster areas. #38C3 #opensource #openmedicine

Odd. We speculate cyberattack as soon as the lights flicker somewhere. But not when the first satellite that could precisely pinpoint methane leaks emanating from a ruthless multi-trillion-dollar industry mysteriously dies on orbit.

ICE just murdered a Canadian.

For the sake of comparison, 9% of Americans approve of the Black Plague.

On X, hate speech is apparently fine. Accountability speech, now that's dangerous...

As Google integrates AI to deliver information directly in search results, the incentive to create or maintain websites — including news platforms — is fading. With instant answers, people won’t need to click through. The web will shrink to a few walled garden platforms.

Well, damn. Can we talk about how breathtakingly good #Andor is?

New from Media: GlobalX, a major airline for Trump's deportations, has been hacked. There's a defacement on the site at the moment. Hacker sent us data they say are passenger lists for flights. We cross-checked with court records/lists of deported people. Matches. www.404media.co/globalx-airl...

Guess what, @zaga.bsky.social just released this #Rust #DSP. Its specialty is making your voice recordings clear enough that they can sound good even if you highly compress it... but it's a step to making better, free hearing aid tech too. crates.io/crates/rusti... GUI: github.com/brettpreston...

Last week I was at a press conference of Quebec's minister of Economy, Innovation and Energy, and every question was some version of "how can you still collaborate with US tech companies on matters of security." She would say "we're evaluating the situation." I wonder if this has changed by now. 👀

This is a good day for anyone hoping a quick collapse of the US economy will do less damage to the rest of us than a sustained US influence. Sorry guys.

So you know how most of the time when people mix #industrial they don't do it very well? You'd think it's impossible, but it's not. I made a rebel-themed industrial mix that's... a journey. IYKYK. And it has proper transitions. 😂 www.mixcloud.com/emotionalsup... #djmix #goth #gothgirl #music

Been a hermit the last few weeks but maybe looking extra goth will help me get out of the apartment tonight. 👀

Meanwhile, Fox News: Oceania has always been at war with.... er... Oceania.

The part of today's world that is somewhat uplifting, is how both Europe and Canada are living up to the challenges. Most good people are at their best in a crisis.

It would be amazing if Canada quit the Five Eyes surveillance pact, and back in the day I personally pleaded with some MPs to do so. Except the US *expelling* us signals we're inching closer to an actual invasion. In completely unrelated news, I've been doing a lot of shooting practice.

20% for AfD in Germany is scary, but it could have been worse. There were absurd amounts of money poured into promoting them, and social media networks pushed them relentlessly. But the German people turned the fuck up to push them back, with voter turnout at 84%. That's pretty cool.

The weaponization of US technology companies means we should treat our dependence on them as a national security threat ↘️

Just picture a German newspaper writing: "Poland as the 17th Bundesland? Friedrich Merz thinks it would be a boon to his legacy. But it would also be a boon to the SPD who would gain a lot more voters."

That's some Ribbentrop-Molotov shit 😬 except this time it's Ukraine they're partitioning.

Someone just set a new world record in mansplaining.

This was @zaga.bsky.social 's show in Karma Crew, an awesome anarchist bar in Warsaw. 🦾 The tracks are on zaga.bandcamp.com This one is Shifted (VIP) Footage taken with a #fairphone5 with /e/os and it's way better than what my friends captured with their iphones 😏 #dnb #drumandbass #music #foss

Yes. I work with self-taught people right now and they are *way* faster picking things up, think more outside the box and are all-around more self-sufficient. 👀 I still have advantages when it comes to some processes because of the academic training but it's enough if only some people know these.

#Andor captures the #foss tenets so beautifully. 🖤 Even better, these days a lot of Free tech is actually a better user experience than the corporate stuff.

People asking "when did Macklemore get radical" like The Heist wasn't start to finish anti-capitalist gold.
