How does the song end? Is it a fade-out? Hard stop? Mash up into the next one? If I like it, I might go back and check out the beginning. Is there a middle eight or is it gonna modulate? I wanna know before I get there, just in case Iโ€™m not in the mood or it surprises me while Iโ€™m doing something el

The โ€œLost Causeโ€ myth is just a tool to keep people in a victim mindset and their animus active, because in so many ways, the Confederacy won, kid.

We are living in the future that was laid out by allowing unreconstructed Confederates back into government and white supremacy to remain a guiding and animating force for so much of this countryโ€™s population. Yeah, capitalismโ€™s a huge part of it, but itโ€™s not the only thing going on.

โ€ฆor anything that doesnโ€™t specifically serve a certain class of white men, in they way that they perceive things work in their service (which is essentially to just relegate everyone else to servitude, neither seen nor heard).

Terrifying. Like, we โ€œknewโ€ this was how these fuckers thought/didnโ€™t think about things, but to really see it, understanding that THIS was who was given power over funding so many cultural institutions, public benefits, etcโ€ฆ they just do not give a shit about lifeโ€ฆ

Hobbies in big letters I donโ€™t really have any hobbies, having fallen into the class trap of the working creative that is essentially a pile of bills and immediate needs placed gently over a hastily piled patch of grass. Mo...

Haven't been feeling my best this week, but I wrote a little newsletter about needing a hobby, repairing my old iPod, and how the work I used to do helped build comfort in the present.

A newspaper headline from over a century ago, reading:

WOMEN ANARCHISTS HAVE BECOME
THE TERROR OF WORLDS POLICE

Their Daring Crimes Are Said to Have Out-
stripped the Deeds of Brothers of the Red

Search for the Woman is Becoming a Safe Rule in Crimes Proceeding From Anarchistic Violenceโ€”The Guardians of the World Nearly Always Finda Woman Implicated When a Ruler is Stricken Downโ€”Emotional Women Lose Sense of Fear.

Because I am a humble artist, not a journalist, and because I donโ€™t generally engage with AI, I was unaware that the little graphic at the bottom of the page was Claudeโ€™s. Regardless, another way to approach this would be to say, โ€œHey, fyi, that info comes from Claude, itself.โ€

Left can't resist being on wrong side of a war
Whether it's Jeremy Corbyn or Zack Polanski, their foreign policy stances terrify voters outside core supporters

Well, hereโ€™s the thing about being antiwar as an ethical belief: it means you end up opposing most wars. Almost all of them, in fact. This is quite common in people who have consistent beliefs but looks insane to people who have none, or mostly just believe superior people should make the decisions.

In the off chance that anyone ever wondered what the Spanish in the short opening track to my Living With The Living LP from 2007, titled โ€œFourth World War,โ€ is, itโ€™s this - segments of Zapatista Subcomandante Marcosโ€™ speech about the Fourth World War.

There's been a lot of debate within the Democratic establishment about what rhetoric to use via ICE.

Well, an incumbent doesn't lose by 48 percentage points very oftenโ€”and her vote on collaborating with ICE was the defining issue here.

First, itโ€™s a mistake to say that Trump got America into war on Saturday. What he did was respond to a war that Iran has been waging against the United States since 1979.

How do these idiots still continue to completely miss the first order FLAMING FIERY moral issues in โ€œno warโ€ that are before and beyond the dispassionate points about money spent? (And for the fucking record, Iโ€™m not saying the moneyโ€™s not an issue, ok.)

I hope you arenโ€™t drunk and took your staffโ€™s advice, Rashida and I donโ€™t know this man and feel confident he didnโ€™t care about us. Please restrain from drinking too much as you have been warned from your staff and stay off social media when you are drunk. I pray in his holy month you find peace and respect for your self,

ai is a rhetorical technology.

when it produces a list of permissible targets, its value is not producing targets but producing permission

This is disgusting. Rationalizing the bombing of a school that reportedly killed 108 girls.

But since she asked,

"Currently, 161 public schools operate on military installations across the United States."
