So Get Your War On is nearly 25 years old. It’s been 25 years (at least) and American is back to starting wars in the Middle East that are going to fuck everyone over… though now they’ve decided they don’t need a reason. www.mnftiu.cc/category/gyw...
FCC learning what Streisand effect is... Also, I get why conservatives are scared of giving this guy a platform. He's a religious democrat who can real talk to religious moderates.

"While Americans should welcome Trump’s rapidly increasing unpopularity and must do everything they can to constrain him, realism requires a recognition that he's all but certain to do everything possible to cling to power — even if he brings the country down with him." — @davidrlurie.com
Radium. Leaded gas. BPA. The list goes on, but the challenge with AI (and crypto and other technologies) is it’s harder to regulate the use of technologies that exist as ideas.
I'm convinced AI is our generation's radium - a discovery with genuinely useful applications in specific, controlled circumstances that we stupidly put in everything from kid's toys to toothpaste until we realised the harm far too late where future generations will ask if we were out of our minds.

The story of US intervention is a story of suffering, misery and chaos. How many more catastrophic failures will it take before we learn the lesson? My piece for @tribunemagazine.bsky.social on the illegal invasion of Venezuela. tribunemag.co.uk/2026/01/star...
Reminder than US getting itself into a bullshit war on thin pretext isn’t anything new and makes for good pretext to reread Get Your War on. www.mnftiu.cc/category/gyw...

So I’ve been watching the New Life SMP by @smajor.bsky.social and friends and feel like they never let that one breathe. I know they had some server issues which led to it ending soon, but I feel like the Minecraft SMP space is really lacking for a Create mod SMP. @fwhip.bsky.social was killing it
Idea for future Hermitcraft arc... @joehills.net
Since Hawley is back in the news trying to silence political dissent…

“After all, it’s easier to find a scapegoat than an identity. But self-definition is a critical challenge for a party that must offer something more than fervent anti-Trumpism, however crucial resistance feels today.” www.nytimes.com/2025/05/20/o...
Fun game for people if you’re bored. Scroll through the Heritage Foundation employee list and find the Black employees. Still haven’t found any myself, but gonna keep looking. I’m sure there are some in there…
This is what we need to be talking about. Materially stopping these fuckwits.
COHN: “THE REPUBLICAN EFFORT TO slash Medicaid stalled on Friday, when legislation cutting more than $625 billion from the program failed to get through a key House committee. GOP leaders hope to try again on Sunday night.” open.substack.com/pub/thebulwa...

Replying to @pplscitycouncil.bsky.social
“In response, a massive fire was started at one of the barricades. This fire forced the police to entirely reroute their advance, delaying them severely. This delay gave more than enough time for the group to disperse… The fire was slow to extinguish & effectively crippled the police advance.”
When pigs tried to raid University of Washington students building takeover, students allegedly lit the barricades on fire 😮😭🔥
At this time of increasing oppression from the capitalist class it seems even more important to remind American workers of their history. The government may have taken away today as a celebration of labour’s fains, but they can’t erase facts. Capital needs to be reminded of the power of workers.
Just to be clear, when I say fuck libs and fuck Democrats this is the type of spineless, useless, rage inducing activity that is making me say this. If you wanna stan these pieces of shit for not being Trump that's fine, but you're also probably a piece of shit.

If you defend this or try and explain this away, you’re a monster and I don’t know how you sleep at night.
Fatima Hassouna, a Palestinian artist and photojournalist who is the protagonist of a documentary due to premiere in Cannes in May, has been killed in an Israeli air strike. deadline.com/2025/04/gaza...
Vintage film about how Americans should resist fascists. I assume the right would call this “woke” and have it memory holed.
