“After the war, Buzz Grambo became an ICE chaser” is a decent sci-fi plot.

probably going to get a lot of shit for this but i don’t think class dynamics really explain much at all about Trumpism and that to understand his appeal you have to start from an understanding that the US is closer to ending scarcity than any country in history

you do not want any unit smaller than everyone to be responsible for determining if that guy lives or dies. where police are a problem the problem is that they have basically escaped societal supervision. without any official law enforcement apparatus EVERYONE is a rogue cop, instead

The last time anarchists were allowed to control a significant area in the US was only a few years ago, during the CHAZ. The CHAZ managed to kill more black teenagers per capita than any police force in the United States

My most woke opinion is that God is dead, He remains dead, and we have killed Him!

Au contraire! What is a build system, ultimately, but a series of social relations between people masquerading as a series of social relations between files?

the mechanism of action of ketamine therapy is actually that it tranquilizes your inner horse

we will soon arrive at 100 year anniversary of the era in which much of western left would bark whenever COMINTERN said “woof!” a century later descendants are still mired in same pathologies, such as backing brownshirts against Weimar liberalism

anyways wikipedia remains one of the great wonders of the modern world: a beacon of the better future we all still faintly imagine

A left wing politics that is oriented around your rights and identity as an individual consumer instead of your responsibilities as a member of a social or political community is basically a left aesthetic pasted onto an internalized neoliberal ontology.

I hear they’re using the blood of 1,000 Bald Eagles to consecrate the ballroom to Moloch.

this is also my opinion on No Kings

repent and submit to rome

To be frank, the fetishization of protest tactics and personal/information security theater (theater is a load bearing word) is the leftist version of the Cult of the Operator

the thing about Claude Code is that i'm not sure if its effectiveness is more of a testament to the power of LLMs or to the power of the Unix environment

What hath bog rot

I think the issue is that "crime" is the right-wing equivalent of what "harm" is to left-wing discourse. it's an all-encompassing category

i heard you only get to play as donkey kong for the opening hour or two on the tanker. the rest of the story is told from the perspective of diddy kong as he infiltrates the “big peel” bananaspill containment facility on a hostage rescue mission, manipulated by unseen players in a larger game (1/14)

The U.S. Supreme Court is a terrorist organization, ad infinitum.

i know this makes me a curmudgeon but i wish more progressives understood more about the price of money

Armed officers, frequent use of force and people grabbed on the street or at their places of work. Working with @evidentmedia.org and @calmatters.org we have monitored the LA raids, discovering recurring trends and tactics used by officers. www.bellingcat.com/news/2025/07...

This shitpost is unironically my politics now. Things matter. You can fight for them or you can perish like a dog, but you have the power of choice.

Guy who always ranks God before any other candidates

I’m constantly asking how shall we comfort ourselves, the murderers of all murderers? What water is there for us to clean ourselves? What festivals of atonement, what sacred games shall we have to invent?

It’s really quite odd that we’re going to get a lot of people who worship ChatGPT or something but I’m the only person who worships Wikipedia

Trump has literally never installed gentoo

a lot of people think software engineering is about being really good at writing code but some of the most valuable experiences of my career were shadowing planners and schedulers, dispatchers, and operators, not code related at all

online is an oral culture, and one of the features of orality is repetition of things to keep them going rather than having any sense of stored memory
