rad mormon dad about ethics as revolutionary politics
Reading more Mark Fisher cause I wonder if he and his death are emblematic of the despair we might feel on the left and now seeing that he was a Drake fan and so maybe I’m thinking of this backwards

I've built a machine that can be Confidently Wrong. It can also make pictures that all look a bit the same, as well as make a video of you kissing any celebrity or person you know. In payment, I'd like to boil the world's oceans dry, & steal all literature. For some reason, my head is not on a spike

One thing that will happen is that the neofascists in our pews are going to feel and act with more malice and confidence and we need to organize to keep each other safe.

I know that God will provide a way for us to keep their commandments and this is the greatest of them all.

The more I get into political action the more I am learning that work models power structures to us in a deeply useful way, the only question is whether we're able and willing to see it.

We _all_ have bosses.

Is it any wonder why our bosses, who’s jobs consist mostly of yapping about stuff they barely understand, are so taken by Large Language Models?

If there is such thing as terrorism then it’s what American cities do to homeless people.

It’s what the IDF does in Palestine

It’s what health insurance executives do to their ‘customers’

I had to buy a new toaster and now I am in a terrible mood. Why does the dial beep?? Why does it have a digital display?????

Honestly, I’m skeptical that the shooter is as cool as people think, regardless of whether they’ve got the right guy, but that snitch is definitely as pathetic as they seem.

This year we’ve been reminded of what Christmas is really about.

It’s not great that we’re in a situation where murdering capitalists can seem so reasonable to so many, but now that we’re here it’s sad to see how many folks are still pretending like they haven’t picked a side.

They’ll shrug at genocide and then wring their hands over this.

They’re perverts.

As much as I’d like to think my interest in synths started around 17 with Eno, the truth is probably that it was The Hippos at 14.
