In this episode, dogs literally get 100x more airtime than victims of genocide.

Reporting on Israel like this should be archived and studied. (Around 26 mins) This is how Western media enables genocide and erases victims of genocide. This is complicity in the killing. theworld.org/episodes/202...

A 2025 Nobel Prize winner in chemistry, Omar Yaghi is the son of Palestinian refugees who grew up in Jordan. He just left the US to move to China after raising concerns about rising anti-immigrant sentiment, like the kind shown here. donmoynihan.substack.com/p/china-than...

RFK: "There's five hundred million Arabs in the world. And yet they don't produce science. They don't win the Nobel Prize. They don't win the Fields Prize. They don't win the Wolf Prize. They don't produce literature."

Baffler no. 86 is now available online and in print. “Tight Ship” is dedicated to efficiency and incompetence alike, with stories on municipal socialism and militarized governance, taxation and invasive biology, Central African beer and the “pork cycle.”

A population incapable of forming their own thoughts is a population easy to control. That's how the ruling class prefers it.

"AI can draft an essay for you, especially if you give it a high quality prompt." Really? This is what MIT thinks high schoolers should learn? MIT's "Day of AI" dayofai.org provides materials for K-12 teachers and claims to have reached over 5,000,000 students to date. 1/2

Flock CEO Garett Langley "claimed without evidence that the social media opposition to Flock is driven mostly by Russian bots." Why would Russia oppose #Flock? Putin's GRU can just peek at Flock's internal systems and know where US four-star generals live. www.404media.co/in-leaked-au...

NAZA peers into the psychology of those who perpetrate genocide, and interrogates a society fully committed to the technical, methodological extermination of an entire people.

Most/all of this seems to be users giving Muse/Dot/whatever AI agent they're running access to their bank accounts, and then not knowing what those agents are doing / banks not being able to detect authorized vs unauthorized stuff. what could go wrong? www.axios.com/2026/10/22/a...

wrote about "Black October," the PHP vulnerability, and the AI-fueled dread and panic I'm seeing among almost all of the cybersecurity experts I've ever known. I think people w/ LLMs are brute forcing software the same way they brute forced social media w/ slop www.404media.co/php2shell-bl...

We shall see if Trump and Netanyahu are so desperate that they decide to kill a bunch of Iranians in order for their parties to have a better shot during upcoming elections. The entire world knows they are not above this type of violent depravity. www.dropsitenews.com/p/iran-war-i...

If your community doesn't already have a library of things, where folks can borrow things like tools, yard and camping equipment, or canning, juicing, and kitchen supplies-- why not start one yourself? This book is specifically about how to get an independent nonprofit library of things to exist.

Also, the tech giants' consolidation of search and attention markets have driven down web traffic to news sites. So basically, news sites increasingly work to create content for Meta, Google, Open AI, etc, who in turn, actively destroy those news sites. pressgazette.co.uk/media-audien...

From the summer, but it seems like Google and Meta did exactly what they set out to do: destroyed the journalism industry, parasitically. Now that our society's custodians of factuality are out of work, the tech giants can fill our minds with slop & propaganda. www.niemanlab.org/2026/06/news...

A couple years ago, I caught #Cornell lying about its disciplinary actions against anti-genocide protestors while I was reporting on it. The folks that used draconian punishments on protestors are the same ones that let gang rapists off the hook. www.thenation.com/article/soci...

thenation.comHow Cornell University Is Quietly Quelling Gaza Dissent on CampusThe university has emboldened its Office of Student Conduct and Community Standards to ban pro-Palestine protesters from campus “to protect the university community.”

On the *same day* the Cornell Seven drugged and raped Jane Doe, Cornell banned four students (including the President of Cornell JVP) from campus for three years for nonviolent, pro-Palestine protests. The same Cornell officials let the rapists off with apology essays.

A key reason why the US cannot succeed in the long term is that its legal system is completely detached from the idea of justice itself. The US legal system is just a stick that the powerful use to threaten the weak. And then it's also a stick used to beat down the weak. 1/2

A society with a pay-to-win justice system like ours can never be equitable and fair when the final, state-level "justice" authority is optimized for oppression. So it's not a question of if this society will collapse by cannibalizing itself viciously, top to bottom, but when. 2/3

Our system of fake justice is a major reason why we actually completely are unable, as a society, to address any of our predatory systems, from corrupt politics to parasitic "healthcare" systems to corporate control over infrastructure, education, our military priorities, and everything else. 3/3
