You Can Have This or You Can Have That: Civic Space vs Worker Pods This morning, I found myself in south Berkeley with an hour to kill.

Civic space or worker pods is the choice the billionaire class is presenting us, metaphorically and IRL. open.substack.com/pub/scottsor...

Read the Room, My Friends, Not Your Fears... The Republican crack-up is happening right now. How it plays out, I dunno, but it is something to watch!

Trump has a new crush, Madge preps for the future, and the contenders for the GOP throne start to uh something open.substack.com/pub/scottsor...

A Parade to Poop On...and Marches Across the Land! Well, last weekend’s “parades” went as good as they could, considering that the “big” one “celebrating” Donald Trump’s birthday shouldn’t have happened at all.

Dear Leader dumps the same amount of cash on a failed vanity parade as the GOP Congress cut from research on military veterans’ spinal injuries. And Americans responded by giving him a big beautiful buttfull of FU. open.substack.com/pub/scottsor...

A couple thousand people marching down Valencia in San Francisco’s Mission District.

Time to Play Hardball with Democrats Who Won't "Don't change generals during war" is bullshit not successful military leader has ever believed and more...

If Dem leadership has failed to protect us from Trump’s rampage because they are feeble & out of touch, we desperately need new blood. @davidhogg.bsky.social is right in challenging Dems to get their shit right scottsoriano.substack.com/p/time-to-pl...

Attack Culture? Go for it, Don! I'll Watch You Lose! Downbeat, the legendary jazz magazine, reports that the White Citizens Council (WCC) told New Orleans radio station WNOE that they were targeting rock & roll, specifically that “radio stations and juk...

Trump’s attack on culture will fail, because right wing attacks on culture don’t just fail, they inspire us to resist & build our own things outside their control. See punk hip hop raves etc Here’s some history scottsoriano.substack.com/p/attack-cul...

Moronic Madman Makes Water Time to lean about Donald Trump and orifice flow...trust me, I just threw up in my mouth after writing those words...

Orifice flow is what makes the man: the insanity of Trump’s water stunt in California. Bad bad stuff scottsoriano.substack.com/p/moronic-ma...

AI Blows Up the Bullshit Around AI Big Tech hype is a huge problem...until it is exposed...

Monday’s new darling was DeepSeek a Chinese AI firm who tanked Wall Street Big Tech by revealing it can do things far cheaper than the big boys, deflating a lot of Big Tech hype & PR BS, duking the AI scam. More scottsoriano.substack.com/p/ai-blows-u...

Just Ask Moses: We've Been Fighting This Fight for a Very Long Time The Black Death, Peasant Revolts, Bullies vs Rebels and much more...

I read a ton of history so it gets frustrating when I read people claiming that this is the worst of times. Yeah things aren’t good but that’s average for the world. What’s also average is the people fight back to make for a better world & mostly succeed. scottsoriano.substack.com/p/just-ask-m...

Making Change, That's You & Me, Baby, And It Can Be Done On this disconcerting day, we put MLK into (human) context with a story about a small but significant victory that anyone could have pulled off...

Yesterday was a fucker & a pompous one. The extravagance makes it difficult to get perspective, like what we saw was largely BIG ceremony. To counter, I have a story of a small action that made a significant difference, activism any of us can pull off. scottsoriano.substack.com/p/making-cha...

FIRE! A bit about the age-old origin of the Los Angeles Wildfires To get to Amy F.’s parents’ house, we’d hop on Business 80 in Sacramento, segue onto 80 East.

Oh fuck Musk & Trump. LA Wildfires can’t be blamed on any single person. This was more than a century in making, born of decisions based on greed & implemented through corruption (which both men would have engaged in back when) scottsoriano.substack.com/p/fire-a-bit...

Time to Strap on Your Bullshit Detector Do it now or the next four years are going to hurt much more than they have to...

Trump is an endless source of nonsensical bullshit & always has been and yet even when he rambles about renaming stuff he can’t rename and taking over countries that no one will let him attack, people panic. Why react to him with anything more than a yawn? scottsoriano.substack.com/p/time-to-st...

The Great Capitulation? No! The Grand Negotiation: Big Tech, Donald Trump, & the Art of the Deal John Kenneth Galbraith defined the conventional wisdom as “ideas which are esteemed at any time for their acceptability.

The Big Tech “great capitulation” to Trump narrative is fucking absurd. Trump is extremely transactional. Same with the Tech Lords. All of them are extremely greedy. None of them are naive or frightened. This is the Grand Negotiation! My lord. scottsoriano.substack.com/p/the-great-...

Elon Musk is a Dancing Monkey and DOGE is a Mirage Don’t get fooled again…

Look over there! It’s a dancing monkey! His name is Elon and he has a friend named Vivek, who is also playing ape. They have a shiny new toy that they want you to scare you with. It’s called DOGE & it exists in name only. Let’s get real about this crap. open.substack.com/pub/scottsor...

We can do this! We can fight back and win! This kind of stuff happens all the time. It’s happening in Georgia 🇬🇪 right now. People power, my friends! Don’t give up hope or the fight. Don’t mourn, organize! We have it in us. Don’t let anyone tell you otherwise. 4/4
