The Crusader aesthetic and the proud self-labeling of oneself as an “infidel” grew in popularity during the war on terror and have remained as gestures of anti-Muslim sentiment on the right.

The tech industry has captured our imaginations, in part because we’ve lost a vision for a better future.

@danmcquillan.bsky.social explains how decomputing isn’t just about exerting control over technology; it’s about imagining a better world.

Putting this out there: Herdling just got a release date, and I'd love to place a feature on the game (or a review!). In addition to my writing bona fides, I have 25 years experience helping my family raise goats.

LMK if I can shoot you a pitch, either here or at kmnelsonmail (at) gmail (dot) com!

When Sarah and I talked about doing this episode, I called it a "Reverse Marcia Kramer." Instead of sticking a microphone in driver's faces to find out how angry they were about congestion pricing, we decided to talk to pedestrians, cyclists and transit users about how excited they were.
When NYC started congestion pricing last week, we knew the local mainstream press would be out talking to drivers who were against the toll. So we went out and heard from some people who weren’t driving, including advocates who fought for this historic program. thewaroncars.org/2025/01/14/1...

This is excuse-making by folks who don’t want to feel bad about being associated with the Christians they don’t like. The fascists are “real” Christians too, and always were. If you don’t like how that feels, take it up with them, don’t try to convince the rest of us “they don’t count!”

We shouldn’t accept that a CEO killer must get a national manhunt when cops don’t solve most murders at all. A migrant teenager was just murdered in NYC, cops just killed a guy here — the lives of these other people are worth just as much as that CEO.

The media wants you to be outraged at bad Twitter jokes and random heated comments. They want you to direct your anger at random people on Twitter who "took things too far," rather than question the system that led to these conditions in the first place.
Why "we" want insurance executives dead
No, that does not mean people should murder them. But if you've watched a loved one suffer and die from insurance denial, it's normal to wish the people responsible would suffer the same fate.

My Roman Empire is how the word “Neanderthal” used to be shorthand for “stupid/primitive” until it came out that ppl of European descent have Neanderthal DNA & suddenly news outlets published a bunch of stories about how Neanderthals were very smart & innovative, actually. Like this: bit.ly/3D1CtuS
Rethinking Neanderthals
Research suggests they fashioned tools, buried their dead, maybe cared for the sick and even conversed. But why, if they were so smart, did they disappear?
