Death to America

The Grinch tried to steal Christmas to make space for more Jewish and Muslim voices but y’all aren’t ready for that conversation

Water 4 bird

New York City is the Baltimore of New York State. I am always saying this

The PFLP issues a statement calling upon university students in the West to "immediately take to the streets" for Gaza and "besiege the White House and the Pentagon" to intensify pressure on the American government.

time.com/7207661/bide... Fairly obvious from the jump that Biden wanted to bleed out Russia at the cost of Ukrainian lives. Glad folks are catching up

"Another day in life's impenetrably-armored succession of days"

watching THE MUPPET CHRISTMAS CAROL with the kids and as has been noted by many, many people this is a world-class michael caine performance. like, one of the best of his career!

Jeez valedictorian of gilman the semester I taught there

It’s barely been 12 hours and the apartheid state has already occupied more Syrian land beyond the Golan, and launched airstrikes on Damascus.

"If the plan goes through, hundreds of billions of dollars of public assets will be spent or leveraged to buy a million Bitcoins, allowing the tiny minority of Bitcoin moguls to finally cash out their holdings into real money." prospect.org/power/2024-1...

What if raskolnikov was actually cool

Israel has broken the ceasefire agreement with Lebanon "approximately 100" times since the truce went into effect last Wednesday. www.cnn.com/2024/12/02/m...

How do we have 800 of these articles and none contend with the fundamental issue which is rich liberals don’t want to fund left media, they want to fund liberal media which is bloodless and partisan, by definition. GOP courts its extremes, liberals discipline theirs. www.nytimes.com/2024/11/28/u...

Today I'm grateful for family, friends & loved ones. Also: pie 🙏

for over a year, US media has helped the WH distance itself from the horrors of Gaza by employing 3, largely fictitious reporting genres. I and my pseudonymous co-author detailed these 3 genres and how they helped successfully take pressure off the Biden admin www.thenation.com/article/soci...

Gaza Security Forces Ambush Gang Accused of Looting Aid with Israeli Support. The gangs are “operating in cooperation with the Israeli forces” to target aid convoys, a senior Hamas official told me. Full story at @dropsitenews.com www.dropsitenews.com/p/gaza-secur...

🚨🚨🚨Washington Post exclusive: "As Gaza’s hunger crisis worsens, organized gangs are stealing much of the aid Israel allows into the enclave, operating freely in areas controlled by the Israeli military" www.washingtonpost.com/world/2024/1...

New from ProPublica: United States agencies concluded that Israel was deliberately blocking aid into Gaza. The Biden-Harris administration then lied to Congress about it so they could keep sending weapons to continue Israel’s genocide.

nowhere that i can say this where anyone will really see it, but i think i've come around to the opinion that Biden staying in (and admittedly probably losing) is best for the left of the party. Don't want to set up some purple state conservadem incumbent who will be running the show in 2028.

obsessed with this guy

dune is crazy

just finished @ryangrim.bsky.social's new book. trying to understand how to feel about the whole left-dem project, but i sort of left it with more questions.

i love when europeans name ramen shops after anime characters

the new chapo is helping me process reality more than usual today.

liked it better when the only thing i could see on this website was AOC and chelsea manning chatting with each other

woo found an osteopath yesterday who thinks she can fix my running issues, but that it would take like 2 months. would rule if she is correct. for some reason a lot of focus seems to be on my jaw. I am now convinced that it is much more coupled to the rest of the movement chain than i realized.

wow Kaiba is also amazing

watching Kemonozume today. Pretty cool show. It's the first one Yuasa directed, and I am really enjoying seeing how his unique style looks like when he presumably had a much smaller budget.

something kind of weird that i am feeling tonight. the prose-poem biographies are my favorite part of the USA trilogy https://rickrozoff.wordpress.com/2013/02/18/john-dos-passos-on-randolph-bourne-war-is-the-health-of-the-state/

i love random german peanut butter branding. making a sandwich this morning and my options are "bill and john the peanut bros" or "peanut revolution". obviously everything else on the jars is in german

too many internet nerds on this website

in evening air

not terribly patriotic but I wish I knew just one english person i could mildly bully in this small german town.

i also used to play a lot of dominions 5. i would like to again, but i don't because it takes over my brain and destroys my life. but i was really good. 9 games joined, 5 won, 1 lost, 3 everyone quit due to drama or the game going on forever with no winner in sight.

i used to play a lot of nethack. it is good that i don't anymore, because games are bad for my brain, but the main reason i stopped was because only my barely-functional 2012 laptop has the necessary num pad.

losing respect for left media people i like by logging on here and watching them do mediocre jokes about whatever the news puts in front of them.

I often get angry when I think a certain aesthetic decision just might be AI. Need to resurrect Borges so he can write a Pierre Menard about all this. I certainly haven't figured it all out.
