Reifying "De-LIV-ery" as intransitive turns out to be as vacuuous and negligent as you'd imagine. The consignments reaching their destinations are the incendiary package of far right normalisation, and the country itself, gaudily bundled up in easy-rip wrapping, to voracious profit-scraping sloptech

Reminded (ta Jonathan) I received harsh criticism for thinking of folks imprisoned without the transnational clout of Roy. I remain true to an ethics of abolition politics, but got read as someone wanting Roy behind bars. Yet, Roy’s promoting her memoir & Umer Khalid & thousands are still in jail.

Nothing is political, remember, unless it appeases western establishment - then it is revolutionary. Innit, Berlinale?
We are cursed to live in these times.

The word is 'dump' much as it sinks our hearts. This is the Europe we expect to stand as bulwark against the US. Additionally, the Mediterranean is a graveyard.
I'll say this again -- Drumpf is an inevitable consequence not a cause of racialised politics of dehumanisation in the global north.
“Europe supports, finances and is directly involved in clandestine operations in North African countries to dump tens of thousands of Black people in the desert or remote areas each year to prevent them from coming to the EU.”
Like Aimé Césaire said, Europe is indefensible. I have a piece on this coming out soon...
But in addition to the Mediterranean graveyard you mentioned, this is what haunts me the most I think:

Everything is political. Saying you don't care about politics is a political statement. Displays of apathy are a political statement. Not caring is a political statement. Prioritising your income and ease of life other the horrifying torment, abuses and murder of children is a political statement.

This "art shouldn't be political" rhetoric is deeply depressing, whether these people mean it or just feel like they have no choice but to say it.

Both Neil Patrick Harris and Michelle Yeoh have basically said the same thing as Wim Wenders- everyone at Berlinale looks like they are in a hostage video I swear
I love Arundhati Roy's courage, integrity, intelligence, and her artistry as a writer of fiction & nonfiction.

Wim Wenders, the jury chair, on being questioned about Gaza, said filmmakers have to stay out of politics. Roy said a genocide demands a response from everyone, artists included. I agree.

A friend made a doc about this troll around 18 years ago. She’s an ardent leftist and made the troll look like our salvation against the surveillance state. She’s totally gave him a pass on his Nazism. This is itself, a film.
A strange find from the Epstein files:

A hacker named Vincenzo Iozzo shares with Epstein a rumor that Peter Thiel was "bankrolling" the neo-Nazi white supremacist hacker troll known as "weev."

Conversation is about financial strategies and "currencies."

Broadly speaking: reality tv is bad for democracy, influencers are bad for democracy, streamers are bad for democracy, YouTubers are bad for democracy.

Exceptions to all categories exist, but it’s astonishing how absolutely clogged our political and media ecosystems are with low-info narcissists

Important to note their perception of dysfunction or weakness is entirely tied to the idea that the tolerance of Black people is in itself a sign of an unhealthy and dysfunctional system to them.
1/3 What Musk is really referring to here is, of course “race” - that construct that served to define the hierarchies of wealth & power structured by modern colonialism. Like other far right racists though, he uses the word “culture” as a seemingly less pernicious synonym.

Setting aside "How how many blacks is too many?" is THE question across the political spectrum and fewer ro none is the scale, I find the fatalism in that screenshot a tell.

Cause why is your metric "Nobody would die to defend" if not to lay track for ideology based bloodshed?
