“i want back my rocking chairs, / solipsist sunsets, / & coastal jungle sounds...” A poem by Renee Nicole Good, who was murdered by ICE earlier today. lithub.com/renee-nicole...

There is a word for what they are. It is unfashionable and shunned for the simplicity it imposes on complex times. Somewhere within their violence, their patriarchy, their cycles of trauma, and their unintelligibility, lives a word that people like us have for people like them. They are barbarians.

The “prosecute the former regime at every level” candidate has my vote in 2028.

All right folks, here it is! The popular front march! No PSL fronts, no tankie statements, just the democratic socialists teaming up with the based libs. This is what people on here wanted, so you better show!

Make it viral.

In an evening in 2011, I sat at my RFD’s dining room table doing data entry. The team was talking about how it seems like we’re up against so much power on the right. I had a moment of despair. “You know what it’s going to take?” I said. “What’s it going to take?” “Martyrs.”

This is about as pure and unambiguous a statement of fascism as you are likely to find in the present day.

2025 and 2026 not disabusing me of my underlying stance that anyone who wants to be an American should be one and that we should defend them

Wow. This is from a 2013 internally commissioned research report on CBP’s use of deadly force It seems CBP/ICE has had a culture of blocking and shooting at vehicles for quite some time now

it's a good video

The Redcoats murdered Crispus Attucks for throwing snowballs at them.

Renee Nicole Good (1988-2026) Her name, literally translated from its Latin, Greek, and Old English roots, can be rendered to mean "Goodness, in the victory of the people, is reborn."

Romney-voting mom and leftist high school friend both with the same exact reaction of holy shit they fucking murdered that lady

I think court reform—expanding the Supreme Court by much more than four judges (27 members?) and introducing both panels and regular cycling of members off the court into circuit courts, massive expansions of other parts of the judiciary, in-house experts, etc.—is an easier political sell too.

"Expand the number and types of inferior judicial officers like magistrate judges and bankruptcy judges overseen by district courts, which are also tripled in size," more and more people are saying.

NOW: Crowd continues to grow in Minneapolis at a vigil where a federal agent shot and killed Renee Good this morning. “SAY HER NAME!” “RENEE GOOD!”

We said what we said.

Cea is a great choice. Before 2019, landlords could and did make flagrant use of loopholes to deregulate rent-stabilized housing. Cea was the leading tenant organizer in the movement that won reforms to close those loopholes and otherwise protect tenants, and landlords hate her for it.

Is this commentary on Plato

Inept: treating the war as won and essentially a mopping-up operation. There was a Whiggishness to it that acknowledged a lot of persistent racism, misogyny, etc, but did not engage sufficiently with the idea of how to anticipate backlash and enlist normies against it.

Friedman's On Operations is great and I've heard his On Tactics is as well. Of this list I'm gonna be that bitch and read the one about logistics because at the bureaucracy factory I kinda sorta do a specialized aspect of civilian logistics, one that is lacking theory. Apparently mil side is too.

We can just do things. Or, in poetry, we need not wait.

Be copy now to men of grosser blood, / And teach them how to war. And you, good yeomen, /… I see you stand like greyhounds in the slips, / Straining at the start, the game’s afoot.

Again, if Graham "Nazi Skull Tattoo" Platner is elected to the senate with a D next to his name, the Nazis win the normalization war. Any attempt to exclude an "ex" Nazi from power be met with "but Platner...". Also, prepare to hear "see, the Nazis really WERE left wing!" 1 billion times.

One guy tried, unsuccessfully, to blow up a plane with a bomb in his sneakers, and everybody had to take off their shoes at the airport for the next 20 years. Chatbots have a collective body count equal to Richard "The Night Stalker" Ramirez, and they're trying to put them in schools.

Do you ever think about how in sci fi, space forces often have navy ranks and traditions, but in real life it’s always army because they come from air forces? What do you think happened in the history of all these fictional space forces that made them turn into space navies?

"There’s a stealth neoplatonism embedded in the term “scientific discovery,” as if discoveries exist in some ideal realm waiting to be accessed—or in the video-game addled vocabulary of contemporary science policy—waiting to be “unlocked.”" That last bit... 🙂🫠

Despite being tiny and now 30 years old, the atmosphere and design of the Lost Woods in Link to the Past is the ultimate forest zone and has not been surpassed in any subsequent Zelda game or maybe any 3D game ever.

Cargo-cult fascism simultaneously manages to check every box in Umberto Eco's Ur-Fascism while looking nothing like any traditional form of fascism due to how disorganized and lazy it is. Pretty amazing really.

we've got some ICE shit going down in our little town today and it took like three minutes for a convoy of wine moms to start chasing them around town. normies hate this shit and are putting in the work

It was fun knowing this would be the outcome for years and having nobody who wasn’t a transit nerd believe me.

Who is Trombone Charles and did I never see him because he blocked me

All that is matter melts into Pale.

Rough vibes on this website today, likely because people feel Hopeless and Helpless Because Can't Stop It and No One Who Is Supposed To Is Trying To So Now We're Fighting Each Other™. I recommend activities such as book, or potentially instrument if you like instrument, or even do talk on phone.

I'm minding this rehomed young collie dog - his future career as yet unknown, but sheep trials were very definitely not for him. He crossed the stream at Derrynane strand in two magnificent skimming leaps yesterday.

Damn, 2000 was STACKED. But then, as now, only one answer:

The Grinch is the Green Knight. He is a green being who comes on Christmas Eve to bring chaos to the social order. A fallible mortal must answer his challenge, and confront him despite being much weaker than him. The mortal does not triumph, but rather evokes mercy in the attempt. Order is restored.

People like true crime, can we frame this as true crime? Could this help people understand what is going on here? This is like the fucking Zodiac killer on the phone

Reaction. Just reaction.

I feel vindicated in my critical defense.

People need to understand this. I consider myself in a multiethnic tradition that includes the Bund. But they were completely destroyed and delegitimized in their own time. They just were.

Based in substance, moving in tone. Poetry-prose limit break, let's fuckin go youtube.com/shorts/uwAYI...

The president ordered the US military to shoot a snuff film he could watch live from the mansion compound he lives in.
