Obama dropped more bombs than Bush on seven countries, bailed out the banks, sent the national guard to indigenous land protectors and deported 3.2 million people. Hopefully never.

this place can't decide whether it is rural proper or a suburb of Boston. Schizoidal. But there's a sidewalk now. Stuff gentrified and the tax increased and the rent jumped. (late-night infomercial voice) there's gotta be a better way!!!

ohhhh the dog loves you

i saw the movie and was disappointed it wasn't like how i was led to believe the games were

im very glad 🥰

i wonder if you can get a big bag of used legos for cheap from ebay or someplace (you probably already thought of this in which case please disregard)

Americans are trained, culturally and politically, to see their own leaders as fundamentally legitimate actors who sometimes make “mistakes,” while leaders in rival or non-aligned countries get framed as inherently illegitimate “regimes,” not governments. It's obvious now more than ever.

I can think of no better example of fandom/cult behavior having a deleterious effect on politics than everyone slobbering over Barack Obama

i love you

i am reminded of the anxiety i felt as a pedestrian in this area before there was a smidgen of meaningful sidewalk installed as a token afterthought; walking home in darkness, occasionally blinded by high beams, twin globes of fiery light like the eyes of some predatory hellbeast... it sucked! 👎👎

The interests of the bourgeoisie demand the embellishment of capitalism and the concealment of the gulf that divides the classes. The interests of the proletariat demand the exposure of capitalism and of the exploitation of wage-labour

the article compares Ludlow to DeQuincey who, as i've said before, was "a real one", who understood what it was like to be homeless, evincing certain tells immediately recognizable to those who also survived. And last night, on into the morning, i was reading Maxim Gorky, who offers the same insight

People understand that the reason colonisers colonized the world is because they lost access to Asia via Palestine in 1291, right?

It’s obvious a large swathe of people treat pointing out the bloody legacy of U.S. presidents as an inconvenience to their brand as it disrupts the sentimental consensus many still want to maintain around those figures. A coalition built on nostalgia and selective amnesia will never challenge power.

yeah, i think youre right... takes forever to get around to plant-putting-outside weather up here... *sigh*

cybertruck in its natural habitat (parking lot)

oops heres the stupid vehicle that everyone hates, allow me to get into some culture war nonsense right here

it's going to get below freezing tonight but it will be above freezing for the next little while, so i am considering putting the plants outside for the season. Not sure if datura and ololiuqui particularly enjoy 34-degree-american-imperial temperatures though. Maybe i better wait. not sure.

Cover of manga "Stray Cat Gonta Becomes a House Cat." There is a picture of thick, black & white cat laying inside a cardboard box lines with red blanket.

漫画「野良猫ごんた、家猫になる」。ごんたの状況がみまきと似ているので面白い。「殺し屋の目をした猫」とか「筋肉質で硬い体」とか...。作者のオイル富氏はブルスカにいる。
"Stray Cat Gonta Becomes a House Cat (Nora-neko Gonta, Ie-neko ni naru)" is manga where the situation parallels closely to how Mimaki the wildcat became a housecat.

Today, Palantir posted their manifesto to millions. I published an analysis of exactly this text in @sciasculture.bsky.social, arguing it functions not as political theory but as a corporate manifesto for the nationalist-militarist faction of the tech oligarchy. www.tandfonline.com/doi/abs/10.1...
