Rosa Luxemburg wrote a text about this, it's time to stop being embarrassed about our goals
“I’m organizing” for what. Say you are a socialist. Stop this shit. Tell people what you are trying to build. It will wake up more people more quickly

Okay, since Google will NOT take "No I don't want AI assistance" for an answer and keeps "suggesting" AI mode in a popup regularly no matter now many times I say no, I've officially abandoned Google search.

Linux/Win/Mac RTS set in the Ancient Near East.

If, like me, you have a strong fondness for the original Age of Empires, this is right up your alley. Appropriate for the time and place, stockpiling food is the most important mechanic.

When Milton's Satan falls from heaven, he ends in hell. And what does he say to reassure himself? 'Here, at least, we shall be free.' And that, I think, is the fate of the old-fashioned liberal. He's going to be free, but he's going to find himself in hell.

the one sad thing about the cultural death of the Potterverse is that I can't nerd out over indepth pieces of fanfiction like The Arithmancer and Kaleidoscopic Grangers, and I am absolutely sure a certain sort of person would get obsessed with them

A ★★★★½ review of E.T. the Extra-Terrestrial (1982)
"You must be dead, because I don't know how to feel. I can't feel anything anymore." I remember in 2022 when I saw IMAX theatres advertising Jaws in one week and E.T. the Extra-Terrestrial the next we...

today I learned nobody can find a real source for this quote
it was seemingly popularized by the conservative pundit George F. Will, who sources it to another book that doesn't give a reference
it's most likely made up

I don't support the Renegade Kautsky but it's very entertaining to see the bipartisan hatred of the communist mayor

they are doing it on purpose because you are a communist and there's nothing worse to these people than having passionate political commitments
Genuinely worried for the state of literacy in this country after hundreds of liberals saw me saying “socialists and communists should bring the focus on capital and capitalists at no kings protests” and took that to mean I like monarchism or something

Marx, Grundrisse [Introduction]
![The more deeply we go back into history, the more does the individual, and hence also the producing individual, appear as dependent, as belonging to a greater whole: in a still quite natural way in the family and in the family expanded into the clan [Stamm]; then later in the various forms of communal society arising out of the antitheses and fusions of the clan. Only in the eighteenth century, in ‘civil society’, do the various forms of social connectedness confront the individual as a mere means towards his private purposes, as external necessity. But the epoch which produces this standpoint, that of the isolated individual, is also precisely that of the hitherto most developed social (from this standpoint, general) relations. The human being is in the most literal sense a ζῶον πολιτιχόν, not merely a gregarious animal, but an animal which can individuate itself only in the midst of society.](https://cdn.bsky.app/img/feed_thumbnail/plain/did:plc:2ybm2ar2jotl7yetlunucgpr/bafkreiglqaaqsrndfzu7outr3wmcgw2rptydiodfv2yjtiswsilvucgdmi@jpeg)
