The U.S. attack on Venezuela is a tragic farce.
The paper-thin excuse of “narco-terrorism” is meaningless, a facade that does nothing to forgive death and destruction.
The truth is that the U.S. itself is an increasingly authoritarian state with no moral standing.

Hard to process this attack on Venezuela. The greatest political lesson of my youth, one that was hammered home to us all over nearly twenty years, was that the U.S. should stop engaging in regime change and oil wars. And yet, here we are again.

New Illustration: "We Beat 'Em Before..."
Taken from a British WW2 poster, the original features a WW1 German soldier at the top. I just swapped it for the Nazi soldier it had at the bottom.

Time to jettison @firefox.com
Mozilla has a new CEO and he just announced that Firefox will evolve into a modern AI browser.

Cory Doctorow : "We need to make tech workers unionized again ... because tech workers that aren't working behind a keyboard, those tech workers, they're peeing in bottles or being injured at 3x the national rate in an Amazon warehouse. That's how tech bosses treat workers they're not afraid of."
