the strangest thing about pro-natalism to me is how they realize that reproduction is a fundamental biological drive, but can’t make the leap to “if you have to force people to do something that is their most powerful natural urge, there’s a systemic problem”

"The competitions do not actually ask machines to perform human tasks; it’s more accurate to say that they ask humans to behave in machine-like ways as they perform lifeless simulacra of human tasks." 🔥

In light of everything happening, I wrote about how the KKK in the 1920s felt unstoppable, about the people that fought against them anyway, and about how fascism always fails. dansinker.com/posts/202…

For eight years, liberals have counted on legal strategies to stop Donald Trump. Now that Trump has taken control of the executive and legislative branches of government and is consolidating control of the judicial branch, this isn't just naïve—it's counterproductive. crimethinc.com/becomeananar...

Ok, one single thing I don’t hate about T*sla: because they are designed with such a basic bitch sensibility there is a cottage industry of dudes who do wraps for them. all of those dudes have a lot more critical acumen than anyone associated with that company in any official capacity!

People often assume the emotions associated with cruelty are hatred and anger, but it’s actually pleasure and joy. Fascists relish their cruelty. They roll it around on their tongue like a mouthful of full-bodied wine. They laugh as they harm.

If the US blocks access to HRT, ADHD drugs, and SSRIs, I cannot begin to describe to you how much all of the tech sector will screech to a halt. The internet is built and maintained by trans people, people with chronic depression, and the neurodivergent. www.motherjones.com/politics/202...

This is the policy of people who fervently believe in eugenics. They are going to sell this as a thing that impacts Black and Brown people. But it's really designed to get rid of the poor white people (disabled, elderly, substance abuse issues etc.) that rich white people loathe.

Got really angry all the sudden about this nonsense renaming the Gulf of Mexico. If they wanted to assert American significance why not name it after a third coast cultural export? “Gulf of Fats Domino”, “Gulf of UGK”, “Gulf of Selena”, “Gulf of Channing Tatum”, all there for the taking

Trump ordered a federal death squad to assassinate Mike Reinoehl in 2020. Trump and Barr bragged about the assassination publicly. No Democratic politician ever even tried to hold them accountable for the murder.

What is it called when an erratic billionaire, whom nobody elected, rampages through the federal government, purging civil servants, seizing functional control over trillions of dollars, and attempting to destroy entire agencies—all in violation of the law? This is a coup. slate.com/news-and-pol...
