Despite my annoyance with the alarmist use of the word psy-op, marketing techniques were intentionally developed to fulfill psychological needs and desires at an imperceptible level. If you haven't watched Adam Curtis' Century of the Self BBC doc, watch it soon! www.youtube.com/watch?v=DnPm...

Bruce Springsteen was a psy-op, too. If you are just discovering that marketing exists, let me tell you...this goes deep!

Sorry, still thinking about the Wired "Geese is a psyop" thing: No one is talking about how freeing it is that when you understand that famous bands become famous because of money/nepotism, it really frees you as a young idealistic kid to focus on making music for the right reasons.

Man who has never fallen for industry hype now on hour 22 of posting about a band being a psyop.

Can someone explain the "Geese is a psy-op" conspiracy theory to me? I ain't paying to read that.

Super helpful video that explains why the Senate should vote tomorrow to block the transfer of nearly $300,000,000 worth of armored bulldozers to Israel. We have to make it more difficult in every way for Israel to commit ethnic cleansing. Call now

I've got this Ursula K Le Guin documentary on. There's a talking head interview from Neil Gaiman talking about how Harry Potter could have never existed without Le Guin's early work. It's funny how some things age in ways its creator likely never imagined.

J Dilla Ruff Draft is so insane. The man was just getting started on the next level.

I can't stop laughing at this post. It's perfect.

Every photo of Altman looks like he just got caught jerking off in the ball pit at Chuck E Cheese

Massive wave of Israeli airstrikes in Beirut as Israel attempts to undercut the fragile ceasefire

You have more in common with the people of Iran than you do with anyone in this administration, any member of the technocracy, anyone who is profiting from this war, or any billionaire. When you see Iranians forming human chains outside key infrastructure sites, you should feel a sense of kinship.

This is real

If you live in or around Dallas, we’re doing this tomorrow

the social internet is just a series of lifeboats. each with holes in them.

The only people who ever yelled at and dogpiled me on this website were the centrist Zionists

Putting on my best shirt and watching 2 of the most annoying and stupid men on the planet talk about art should not be all political and stuff

Happy Earl Sweatshirt / MIKE day to all who celebrate. daily.bandcamp.com/album-of-the...

Spotify is officially on the BDS list now. If you still have not cancelled your subscription, now is the time.

Amidst everything else, the Trump regime has quietly killed off the U.S. Forest Service 🌲 “One hundred and ninety-three million acres of your national forests… just handed, on a silver platter, to the people who’ve spent their entire careers trying to destroy it.” www.hatchmag.com/articles/tru...

Happy Charley Crockett day to all who celebrate. We celebrate about every six months these days. Brother's on a legendary run. youtu.be/EUsZUKV0rAA?...

This group is “everyone on Bluesky who joined before November 2024”

My personal strategy for managing how dumb and terrible everything has become is to watch the RM Brown show. Today's show about the fallout around PBD's cohost Adam making a fool of himself on Piers Morgan is hilarious. Sickos only. www.youtube.com/watch?v=N84V...

Those pilots shouldn't have been in the skies above Iran this entire war is illegal

Good morning! It is April 2nd in the United Socialist States of America. Today we commemorate Information Workers' Day. Good data aids good governance! We celebrate the Eastern white pine, pinus strobus. Marvin Gaye was born today in 1939; Philip K. Dick died on this day in 1982.

Happy SUNNO))) day to all who celebrate. I am celebrating by going to the show in Dallas tonight AND getting the new album. sunn.bandcamp.com/album/sunn-o-2

Anyone who identifies as "Third Way" or aligns with this wretched think tank in the year 2026 would be laughable if they didn't have such institutional influence.

David Simon said it best

Hmm couldn't be the ... livestreamed genocide.... Must be something else!

I have joined Iran's war against Palantir, Meta, Nvidia, Amazon, and other US tech behemoths on the side of Iran.

Almost 750 U.S. troops have been wounded or killed in the Middle East since October 2023, an analysis by The Intercept has found. But the Pentagon won’t acknowledge it.

Going to see @davidgriscom.bsky.social talk about his new book The Myth of Red Texas at The Wild Detectives tonight. Playing some Waylon to get in the mood. thewilddetectives.com/events/the-m...

When you've lost Rahm Emanuel...

I know that service workers and other workers in Dubai are being harmed by this war. But the fact that Trump totally wrecked tens, maybe hundreds, of thousands of millionaires, billionaires, and "professional" social media influencers there is funny as hell.

Especially when being shielded from the consequences of your aggression allow you to commit genocide and ethnic cleansing

You can get 17 minutes of @jasonhickel.bsky.social latest @upstreampodcast.bsky.social episode about Palestine and capital accumulation here. But I recommend paying 5 bucks to join the Patreon and hear the full thing. www.upstreampodcast.org/conversations

Everything about this war is such a disaster. Well, almost everything… www.wired.com/story/iran-w...

Now I feel even better about having passed R22 at last year’s DSA convention.

Tech guys stopped being into recreational drugs and now they just do a lot of creatine and 30 untested Chinese peptides they bought from discord, LSD has returned to the people.

I dunno I think neoliberalism’s grand plan of dismantling the welfare state and the social contract and replacing them, respectively, with nothing and nothing created a pretty fertile breeding ground for fascism and this isn’t even particularly controversial anymore.

Rolled up next to a golf kart at a street light with four broccoli haired frat boys in it, and me, a bald man with a beard and a tattoo of the devil on my hand, rolled down my window, glaring, and just fuckin blasted If It Makes You Happy by Sheryl Crow

The Israeli official and convicted terrorist who just yesterday declared his support for a military unit that assaulted a CNN crew & killed a 78-year-old Palestinian-American is now today drinking champagne to celebrate a new law to execute Palestinians.

So this story is just going to pretend that the United States isn't doing this to Cuba right now huh
