Anarchist without adjectives. Where would you rather be than right here right now?

Look, it's one thing to believe in "sovereign nations" and "borders" as a child, but eventually you're supposed to grow up and become an anarchist.

Do AI people know how to defend their tech without implying that anyone who doesn't like it is an illiterate God-fearing peasant? No one wants to fight a war with their imagination. Just straw man after straw man

We don’t need all leftists to use AI We don’t need any leftists to embrace US AI companies - or any corporations at all We just need leftists to embrace reality You can’t win a war you’re fighting in your imagination

if a position of authority can be misused in this way, that position of authority should not exist. It's clearly not enough to simply change who is in that position, no more than praying that the next king be better than the last.

Werner Herzog I owe you an apology. I wasn't really familiar with your game

"There are valid concerns and criticisms to be had about immigration." No there aren't. Fuck you. Don't concede that absurd shit. Abolish every border. Let hundreds of millions in. Why are you justifying violence to keep folks out? Why are you pretending like nations aren't moral atrocities?

Looks like more than one person involved in the murders of Pretti and Good were the "best trained" that DHS has to offer. And at least two are actual gun trainers themselves. So when someone says DHS needs "better training", don't debate. Just slap them. More training just means more lethal.

Two agents involved in the shooting deaths of US citizens in Minneapolis are reportedly part of paramilitary tactical units—including ICE’s two Special Response Teams (SRT), CBP’s one SRT, and the Border Patrol Tactical Unit (BORTAC)—whose extreme tactics are generally reserved for war zones.

Sons of Gondor, of Rohan, of Buffalo, I see in your eyes the same fear that would take the heart of me. A day may come when the courage of men fails, when we forsake our friends and break all bonds of fellowship, but it is not this day.

one of the things i hate most about this persistent line of argument is the implication that any of these actions would be fine if groceries were cheaper

The White House is laser focused on threatening a military takeover of Greenland. Where’s the same focus on lowering costs?

we don't have a representative government and we never did. the sooner people accept this the sooner we can figure out what to do about it, but pretending that the ceremony of an election means we somehow control our rulers is a farcical delusion that allows them to rule us in the first place

Ben Collins@bencollins.bsky.social

Just woke up even angrier. Impeach, convict, remove. Draft articles now. Either we have a representative government or we don’t. Do not shut up about this until there’s a vote.

Replying to @racheline.bsky.social

Trans rights are not the rights of a tiny minority, trans rights are everyone’s rights to self-determination, control of our bodies, and a society where opportunity and aesthetics are not restricted by sex assigned at birth You should support and defend trans people because trans people are people

The reason that "respectable" and "intellectual" conservative and centrist pundits have spent the last decade arguing that social pressure and public opinion are morally equivalent to state coercion is to lay the groundwork for justifying the latter.

Robert Farley@drfarls.bsky.social

Right wing thinking on this is that there’s no consequential difference between the President using tools to influence CBS into canceling the Late Show and all of the various cancelations that happened under “Wokeness.” No difference between Colbert and Roseanne, for example.

Our health will always be something the State can threaten us with until we wrest control over it (resources, knowledge, infrastructure, etc.) back from the medical industrial complex.

I'm sorry, I don't buy this. David Graeber and David Wengrow effectively demonstrated the myriad ways societies could organise in early human history. The point about autocrats is not that we are hardwired to follow them but they employ systems of coercion. www.theguardian.com/books/2025/m...

theguardian.comAre we hardwired to fall for autocrats?It’s human nature to trust strongmen, but we’ve also evolved the tools to resist them

This is great stuff. I support any decision that degrades the integrity of the Hall of Fame, because it's just dumb journo crap that no real sports fan should care about. In fact I think Cooperstown should build a monument to the heroes who rigged the World Series!

Keep in mind. Trump isn’t giving all these ICE Agents directions individually. They are choosing to do this. Stealing money. Making girls stand in the rain in their underwear. That’s their choice. Because people who chose to be ICE Agents chose it for pain it causes.

you often see partisan political cheerleading compared to sports, but most sports fans i've met usually have some opinions about the tactics of their favorite team, or are even willing to criticize the management when they make bad calls. political cheerleaders are less sophisticated than that
