Why do they call it edging and not a clithanger

A single Tomahawk cruise missile costs more than you've spent in your life on taxes. It's more than your mortgage, your student loans, and your retirement, combined.

Nationalism is just high school football with extra steps.

I almost wanted to wear Aussie colors in Seattle today to be contrarian, but we're part of the same colonial Limey lineage with the max-clash color palette.

Why is it so common that 3-step ladders don't list the height of the third step‽ I don't care about the height of the handle at the top when it's unfolded!

Every time I hear about the "risk" capitalists take, I think of a scene in Braveheart. *The risk is being a commoner.* Robert the Bruce: Remember that these men have lands and castles. It's much to risk. William Wallace: And the common man, who bleeds on the battlefield, does he risk less?

Dazzle is back baby! Face paint for Flock and zebras for drones.

Labour, like the Democrats, just needed to stop being bootlickers without a vision, for even a moment.

I'm not the captain of fun, but I am the rear admiral.

The billionaire bankrolling Australian far right’s Trump turn

"Western culture" is often used as a stand-in for Christian nationalist "historical" narratives to undergird white-supremacist mythos. A religious-political line in the sand that kicked off in 1054 now includes the New World and any other anglophone countries that play ball.

New ep on friend fights over dumb movies, Epstein Island II, Trump's struggle to turn D.C. into America's front yard with a car on blocks and Flock Safety's league of mayors and town council members.

This is the guy who had the job before Smith

Maybe it's all the Jim Thompson I read when I was a kid but I have an ongoing fascination with sheriffs and police chiefs going buck wild.

People who are into AI are melted, illiterate bootlickers. Data on TNG was artificial intelligence. This is a word salad grab bag with a failing grade of accuracy.

The Supreme Court just has sour cream and diced tomatoes.

Until we get to a direct democracy economy, what if we made a rule that the second someone has a half billion, their heads roll? Summary guillotine for a penny over. I think that would be motivating.

Everything is a conspiracy when you don't know how it works.

Here's a fun fucking idea that is consistent with liberalism: An ordinance that requires all payouts from lawsuits of police departments must come exclusively from those departments' budgets.

New ep! If Disclosure Day came and no one cared, was it really disclosure? The reactions to the grifter ufologist hype cycle have been entirely predictable and hilarious. Listen for free on Patreon www.patreon.com/posts/episod...

Axial, unelected organs of the monopoly of violence of the state aren't democratic‽ Whaaaaat‽ No way‽ www.huffpost.com/entry/jeff-l...

The only people gobbling the boots of AI are creepy incels fanboys and the hegemons of present-day capitalism. In both cases, the answer to post-scarcity is to manufacture it and to sell people on pseudoscience framed as accepted by major authors.

New ep! Fuentes is the most effective personality and movement leader who’s consistently out MAGAed Trump. We connect him to the failed movement Richard Spencer tried to build and the implications of normalizing him. Listen on Patreon www.patreon.com/posts/premiu...

TED Talks has trained so many people to speak like assholes. It's Toastmasters with Tony Robbins, and a dash of MLM. The breathy inflection and pacing makes a reasonable person stabby. Also, slam poetry.

Start using the term, "genocide denier." You're welcome.

Every bougie bitch at the Met Gala crossed a picket line to be at a Bezos dinner party, as far as I'm concerned.

The final video on Bookchin's The Ecology of Freedom is now up! (Next week, we talk Rojava, Occupy, and eco-villages in the context of The Ecology of Freedom) youtu.be/PYZoUTVuHPo

Remember in 2004 when the human-shaped Ambien, John Kerry, had his political campaign flat-tired by flip-flop?

Watching it tonight as well

The Trump administration is closing the office responsible for investigating misconduct and abuse in the immigration detention system, per an email obtained by HuffPost

"The square peg. 'Which hole?' A lot of people don't know. I bet a lot of people couldn't. Not you. They said, 'sir, we've never seen it done like that before.' Nobody thought it could be done. Newscum, so stupid, Biden, the fake news won't tell you--they're hard, squirrel, bear, lion--nobody else."

Why is the Iran Lego popaganda so funny? 1. The imperial juggernaut can't stop something as simple as memes. 2. AI is being turned on the imperial core for propaganda.

While on the one hand, Fuck Alex Jones. On the other, that shit is cringe and you can't parody quack better than the the real duck.

it’s a great day for transphobes to eat shit

The real Labor Day, May Day, is today. The September one was implemented by Grover Cleveland to forget the Haymarket Martyrs. The 8-hour-workday comes from this movement and today commemorates 8 anarchists. Every other country celebrates today as Labor Day. archive.iww.org/history/libr...

Happy Labor Day!

Producer: Erika, I need you to look more menacing and creepy. I know it will be tough to--oh, nope. You got it.

Weird science fact: Senator Ted Cruz actually looks that way because of rapid decompression, surfacing from a deep sea habitat.

I would love to hear*any* person in Congress say, "shut the fuck up, you moron," instead of "I'm reclaiming my time."

I'm not saying it's a false flag conspiracy, but I wouldn't be shocked if it was. I'm going to blame Jodie Foster until I learn otherwise.

That "calm" was either dementia or a lack of acting for the scheduled event.

Is this you?

I'm not saying it was one thing or another, but it sounds like the sus that is on so many folks' minds: “That was very unexpected,” Trump said. “This was an event dedicated to freedom of speech that was supposed to bring together members of both parties, with members of the press."

"It's all political violence." -Max Weber, probably.

"Those who make peaceful revolution impossible will make violent revolution inevitable." -John F. Kennedy

"Ok, JD, for this one we want you to look confused, as though you don't know what's happening. Mr. Prez, uh., no notes."

The knee-jerk reaction from talking heads is to claim it's politically motivated before the name was even known. It could've been Jodie Foster, Holden Caulfield, or just the classics of ghosts and aliens.

If either country announces that the strait is open or closed, take a shot.
