Anarchist "exuberant." Really into exploring the roots of things and expanding degrees of freedom. Incurable woke moralist. Floating metal sphere. “Radically uncool.”

Hey, I wrote a book.

Did The Science Wars Take Place?

Covers the history and philosophy of a fight in the 80s & 90s between some postmodernists and scientists, with an eye to anarchist interests and lasting political influences among the far-right.

McGregor was found liable for sexual assault in 2024 and the jury ordered him to pay the victim $257,000. He lost all his appeals.

The thing is, Chomsky was always fervent in his liberalism and campism, which fit together snugly.

His paling with Epstein was *ideologically consistent.* It's inseparable from his constant defenses of holocaust deniers, hostility to antifa, and endless cover for dictators and atrocities.
Oh smart man genius intellectual Chomsky got hoodwinked into taking tons of money from Epstein & being his fanboy? So how smart are we supposed to take him for?

LEAVITT: Of course Donald Trump didn’t have Jeffrey Epstein killed. The suggestion is defamatory and the President will be taking legal action

BONDI: Saying that Trump had Epstein killed is now a felony

TRUMP: They set up a live feed in the cell so I could watch. I put it on YouTube, here’s a link

“Black” is being flagged as a potentially prohibited word violating anti-DEI law at multiple Florida Universities. My interview this week with @grundrza.bsky.social documents his event being flagged because the flyer said “Black.”

Racial authoritarianism is here, it’s just unequally distributed.

Ah, the smell of a small clique of rationalists going "how hard could doing a politics be?"

But honestly, folks this is out of the Black Hammer playbook: do the most cringe irritating bad thing possible to build public attention for your cult.

Local police stood by while neo nazi Jake Lang pepper sprayed people from the back of a Uhaul, then the cops attacked protestors. All in defense of a concentration camp staffed by fascist gestapo filth. This is Minneapolis.
Tayler Mitchell said he was pepper sprayed by Jake Lang as the Jan. 6 rioter drove by the crowd of anti-ICE protesters outside the Whipple Federal Building in a U-Haul.

“Renee was not the first person killed, and she was not the last,” Becca Good said. “You know my wife’s name and you know Alex’s name, but there are many others in this city being harmed that you don’t know — their families are hurting just like mine, even if they don’t look like mine.”

Shit like this is what I'm talking about. Just the latest example of someone who doesn't know anything about the blockades, understand their purpose, or see their success. I've seen ICE turn around and not enter a neighborhood. I saw it with my own two eyes, on the ground in Minneapolis.

As someone who was there it was clear that ICE intended to fire teargas on the labor march, directing shots over the heads of those closest to the building and firing munitions directly at the crowd. They even chose munitions that would have the widest possible effect.
Shameful that the Portland Mayor said that “outside agitators” were responsible for triggering ICE’s assault on thousands of union members last Saturday. Then @pdxoregon50501.bsky.social threw out the ED of @jwjpdx.bsky.social for holding the mayor accountable.

Metry and her husband of 4 years go to DHS to get their I-130 in motion. "Good news" a DHS employee told them, the form to start her naturalization was approved.

DHS employee asks the husband to follow him through a secure door. When it locks behind him, ICE detains his wife to deport her.
EXCLUSIVE: Terez Metry was 13 when her family fled to Tennessee from Egypt in 2011. Then, they left her behind. She only recently discovered she had an order of removal from 2011. But she was following the legal path to citizenship. On Monday, at a routine DHS meeting, Metry was detained.
