I’m pleased to see that Pamela Anderson is planning ahead by preparing for the eventual takeover of the United States by the Islamic Republic of Iran and Zohran Mamdani as NYC Mayor.

Wow so you’re telling me everyone who cheered on the Iraq war is on board with this now too? And so are the people who opposed the Iran nuclear deal and killed it?

You’re kidding.

Czelaw Milosz trying to shake us from our indifference to the atrocities being waged in the world with an eschatological note of hope/warning at the end (This poem was written in Warsaw during the Holocaust):
"Campo dei Fiori" In Rome on the Campo dei Fiori Baskets of olives and lemons, Cobbles spattered with wine And the wreckage of flowers. Vendors cover the trestles With rose-pink fish; Armfuls of dark grapes Heaped on peach-down. On this same square They burned Giordano Bruno. Henchmen kindled the pyre Close-pressed by the mob. Before the flames had died The taverns were full again, Baskets of olives and lemons Again on the vendors' shoulders. I thought of the Campo dei Fiori In Warsaw by the sky-carousel One clear spring evening To the strains of a carnival tune. The bright melody drowned The salvos from the ghetto wall, And couples were flying High in the cloudless sky. At times wind from the burning Would drift dark kites along And riders on the carousel Caught petals in midair. That same hot wind Blew open the skirts of the girls And the crowds were laughing On that beautiful Warsaw Sunday. Someone will read as moral That the people of Rome or Warsaw Haggle, laugh, make love As they pass by martyrs' pyres. Someone else will read Of the passing of things human, Of the oblivion Born before the flames have died. But that day I thought only Of the loneliness of the dying, Of how, when Giordano Climbed to his burning There were no words In any human tongue To be left for mankind, Mankind who live on. Already they were back at their wine Or peddled their white starfish, Baskets of olives and lemons They had shouldered to the fair, And he already distanced As if centuries had passed While they paused just a moment For his flying in the fire. Those dying here, the lonely Forgotten by the world, Our tongue becomes for them The language of an ancient planet. Until, when all is legend And many years have passed, On a great Campo dei Fiori Rage will kindle at a poet's word. -Czeslaw Milosz Warsaw, 1943 translated by Louis Iribarne and David Brooks

My last article of 2024: Carceral urbanism doesn't address the anti-city politics embedded in the U.S. that just doesn't exist to the same degree in Europe and Asia. American cities are constantly shit on, starved of funds and sabotaged by our own leaders.

The Warriors once again facing their age-old conundrum:
The "press button tough choice" meme, with "stop turning the ball over and force the rockets to score in the half-court" on one side and "throw the ball all the fuck over the place" on the other.
