ChatGPT is down but The Museum of English Rural Life still stands, proving once again that Silicon Valley cannot compete with the history of rural England and its people.

Hating Chris Packham is a red flag. Literally one of the only celebrities who is even slightly visibly autistic.

Revolutions are littered with the corpses of conservative vacillators like Gavin Newsom. He has absolutely no energetic role to play in events; he will fold like a wet newspaper. We should spend absolutely no effort defending him nor beseeching him.

The point of Andor's Ghorman arc isn't 'violence is only ever the result of cynical provocation and only benefits the Empire' - it's that 'violence is absolutely necessary to overthrow the Empire, and we can defeat its attempts to subvert it with overwhelming collective sacrifice'.

There is no better example of 'capitalism creating its own gravediggers' than Waymo automated vehicles being used as self-summonable barricades. What our forefathers wouldn't have done with such power. The Paris Commune, Red Munich, Red Clydeside etc would have lasted forever.

Above all else, fascism is chaotic. It depends on projecting the image of overwhelming force, because its actual capacities are hamstrung by simple disorganisation. The most important battle to win is the battle against the fear of the regime in your head. Keep. Pushing.

The State never intentionally confronts a man’s sense, intellectual or moral, but only his body, his senses. It is not armed with superior wit or honesty, but with superior physical strength. I was not born to be forced. I will breathe after my own fashion. Let us see who is the strongest. ~Thoreau

Such a braindead take to be arguing that mass protest and physical resistance to ICE raids is 'just what Trump wants'. People will truly say anything to justify clamping down on any form of resistance they do not control.

If the Houthis had taken the Madleen, they would have nuked Yemen by lunchtime today.

So whilst wealthy right-wing techbro conspiracy theorists were complaining that the government / reptiles / Jews were assembling secret data surveillance apparatus to enable permanent dictatorship, they were... assembling secret data surveillance apparatus to enable permanent dictatorship? Yes?

Even if we presume this isn't a total hollow grift by a handful of techbros including Ian McNicol (which is it), even if this were true, surely any economic benefit will be utterly outweighed by the costs of unemployment/retraining from adding 7 million workers to an oversaturated job market.

The fall of great empires is rarely a binary proposition; they are the result of centuries-long rot. However, sometimes a single moment represents how far things have fallen. The UK govt shrugging when one of its flagged vessels is boarded by the IDF represents its permanent exit as a great power.

The only time trans public voices get quoted in national media outlets is when they're counterposed against the most unhinged disgraced grifters like Forstater. www.bbc.co.uk/news/article...

I don't think I'll ever be able to comprehend the kind of brainworms it takes to look at a trans women and say 'Ah yes, this is a person to whom male patriarchal privilege applies'. Have you *heard* what patriarchal men say about trans women? Have you read nothing but Harry Potter when you were 8?

I would be willing to lay money on the fact that there are more incidents of sexual violence carried out by the management of a second-tier transphobic newspaper like the Telegraph, than by the entire trans population of the UK in a year.

How many women are actually assaulted in bathrooms by unknown men? How many women are assaulted by family members, trusted community elders, known friends? IRL, bathroom panic is just another dimension of our inability to comprehend that sexual violence is promoted by patriarchal power structures.

Surely, surely we have evolved as a nation, as a species, beyond the need for genitalia-labelled open spaces where we can all make awkward eye contact whilst we piss. Just do cubicles, and all of the weird fascist toilet anxiety evaporates.

PSA: if your 'solution' to including trans people in public spaces would not have been an acceptable way to treat Black people in the Jim Crow era, it's not good enough for trans people in the 21st century. No 'third spaces'. No apartheid. Bigotry and performative fragility is what must fall.

CW: food, disordered eating Just seen an ad for some tech-themed 'food' product begin with 'I eat three days a week, and on each day I have a four-hour eating window'. Sir that is not a food app, that is an eating disorder app. Fuck sake.

Democrats are really memoryholing the fact that Democratic governors tear-gassed and brutalised the George Floyd protesters, and a Democratic President tear gassed and brutalised anti-genocide protesters literally a couple of years ago.

Firstly: having enormous public displays of military paraphernalia is an indelible hallmark of a failing empire. Secondly: this video shows why unionised railway workers have been at the forefront of paralysing the forces of repression in virtually every revolution since Russia 1917.
