Gratefully Australian. Unapologetically anti-fascist.
I don’t know if you know this, but if you want to read a book, and your public library doesn’t have the book, you can ask them to order it and the usually will. Then other people can also read the awesome books after you. How good is that? @johngreensbluesky.bsky.social

Just a reminder that there is no scarcity, only Capitalism. There is hoarding of housing by the rich. There is price gouging by corporations. There is unemployment by policy to keep wages down.
We could have a utopia with more than enough to go around, but greed and power fuck us at every turn.

Don’t allow them any grey areas.
If there are Nazis in your party and you’re still in the party, you’re a Nazi.
If you’re a politician and you’re cozying up to a party of Nazis, you’re a Nazi.
There is no “wait and see”.

I was really please to see Wake Up and Open Your Eyes by @claymcleod.bsky.social on display at the library. This is a suburban library in Melbourne, Australia. Someone at the branch has good taste.

Would you believe Fairy Tale is the 64th @stephenking.bsky.social book I’ve read. I thought it would be in the 40s. Ten to go (and hopefully many more to come).

The US oligarchs currently kowtowing to Trump should really take a closer look at how oligarchs have fared under Putin. www.npr.org/2025/02/04/n...
![The oligarchs didn't take the hint
"Very early on, two of the most prominent of the first generation, Vladimir Gusinsky, who is a real entrepreneur, who had a television station and a prominent newspaper, [was] forced out. Boris Berezovsky, who had helped make Yeltsin and was even involved in picking Putin and had the biggest television station, [was] forced out. And then in 2003, [Putin] had a big roundtable with all the remaining businessmen. And at this roundtable, one of the remaining oligarchs, Mikhail Khodorkovsky, made a comment that suggested that the Kremlin was trying to extract … a big payoff in an oil company sale. And Putin was furious. And this remark was followed by Khodorkovsky's arrest."](https://cdn.bsky.app/img/feed_thumbnail/plain/did:plc:65akhbcndnacc3gsdyeva54a/bafkreichoyrosr65uebunl5pgs7jvrmntq7oeiosqrbrediqdmpz7oq2ra@jpeg)

We are not living in unprecedented times. They are quite precedented.
We are not in uncharted territory. These territories have been extensively charted.
We may be living on the ̶d̶a̶r̶k̶e̶s̶t̶ dumbest timeline though. And I’m not sure what to do with that.

You gotta admit, it’s ironic that the people stocking up on AR-15s in case they need to overthrow a tyrannical government are the ones who voted for the tyrannical government.

It says everything when people proclaim diversity, equity and inclusion (DEI) policies as a problem, but nepotism and cronyism are business as usual.
It’s racism, bigotry and exclusion, pure and simple.
