This guy gets it
I have pre-ordered my copy of Wankernomics, @charlesfirth.bsky.social.

Naturally I sought a print-based solution through an enterprise notorious for renting out sinking Renaissance city-states.

Will urinate in a plastic bottle in solidarity for the rest of the day.
Or just to be weird.

America and Israel are rolling out a rerun of old war propaganda, and it's embarrassing. Your media and government are again lying to you.

If left unsupervised, capitalism will always eat democracy. And we are further on this arc than many of us want to believe.

There isn’t a free society where universities aren’t havens for academic freedom. The Nazis knew this; Trump, and Australian Zionists, know this too.

Your rights are being eroded so Israel can commit genocide without criticism  - The Shot
Across the Western world, criticising Israel's genocide in Palestine is being stamped down. News laws and a culture of fear make it hard.

Capitalism and democracy, despite what you’ve been led to believe, are not the same thing. Capitalism eats democracy if unsupervised.
