The culture of disposability around criminalized people set us up for this moment, and to fight fascism, we are going to have to rage against that culture of disposal. Submitting to it (or hiding behind it) is an egregious form of surrender.

I don’t know how we’re gonna do it but we need to collectively build the capacity to divest from Google/YouTube entirely. Hard to do when it owns the internet.
Google is hosting a CBP app that uses facial recognition to identify immigrants, while removing apps that report the location of ICE officials because Google sees ICE as a vulnerable group. @evystadium.bsky.social has more.

The "abundance agenda" is an incredibly designed piece of centre-right climate delay
The entire project of climate action comes down to *not extracting and burning fossil fuels*. So if you frame "being against things" as inherently bad, you can pull thousands of ppl into a pro-fossil stance.

Most fascinating interpretive handling of Soma I’ve read, capturing something of its poetry, the paradox of selfhood, how pursuing absolute distraction from self leads only to unbearable, imprisoned awareness of it. Trying to separate mind from body, form from fluidity, makes living impossible.
I tried to relitigate "immersion" using Nietzsche's Apollonian-Dionysian binary. It's all Frictional's fault for turning him into a deep sea desk ornament. Also I accidentally published this on Nietzsche's birthday. HBD, Friedrich. www.rockpapershotgun.com/how-a-nod-to...
How a nod to Nietzsche in Soma got me thinking twice about that suffocating buzzword, immersion
Frictional's ocean-going philosophical horror game offers a way of rethinking the marketing cult of immersion, with some help from a legendary philosopher.
