Tomie and cordyceps… count me in!!!
I don't know who's been sharing this piece but my personal essay on Junji Ito's Tomie, gender, identity, and personhood has been getting a lot of traction lately

Which pleases me because I'm very proud of this piece 💜

It's so weird that I can't stop thinking about the 1987 movie "Matewan" with James Earl Jones and David Strathairn about working-class people standing up against private corporations who employ death squads to rob them of their rights and dignity.

It's a mystery.

Why this movie?

Why now?

I dunno

One was a medical doctor in Ethiopia who was arrested for his political views and who continued to treat sick people while he himself was tortured in a concentration camp.

“You couldn’t even go out to mourn,” he said.

The man hasn’t ventured out of his home in Minnesota in nearly a month.
Staff at the Center for Victims of Torture said that some conditions their clients face in the United States would qualify them for their services had they happened overseas. That includes clients who were recently detained by federal agents.

The torture rehabilitation clinic has pivoted to helping people process trauma from Operation Metro Surge.

They say “But you LIKED this art when you didn’t know it was AI!” like it’s some kind of gotcha.

We liked the original artist upon whose stolen work the machine was trained. Kindly point us in their direction.

“You catch more flies with honey than with vinegar” OK, what if I want to catch zero flies? What’s worse than vinegar?

I was given occasion today to recall the immortal words of Orson Welles when he was asked about Elia Kazan:

“Elia Kazan is a traitor. He is a man who sold to McCarthy all his companions at a time when he could continue to work in New York at high salary. And having sold all of his people…

Kind of like how, if we don’t want climate change we’re supposed to “vote with our dollars” & buy “climate friendly products”.

If we fail, that’s on us.
Should have voted & shopped harder. The least powerful & most vulnerable are always the ones they blame.
Funny how it's always the responsiblity of the voters to stop fascism, while the actual "lesser evil" parties can just flirt with fascism, like they have no responsibility of their own to stop it.

Let's face it, these guys are just seeking for an excuse not to feel guilty later.

If you wanna get sort of conspiracy-brained, Democrats have spent the last ~10 years having worse & worse politics and opposing all party reformists until the demographics of their base have grown whiter & richer, while at the same time very visibly not opposing white supremacist fascism

These criminals stash all their wealth offshore and play god over countries and their domestic citizens. Abolish them and seize this stolen wealth.
This is the real black hole in sovereign budgets. Just start seizing all assets registered to offshore LLCs.
Total offshore assets (bank deposits, securities, real‑estate)

10-17 Trillion dollars.

That amount sits outside normal tax systems, so governments can’t collect revenue on it.
