Folks — the KS for SCUM, the Eclipse Phase board game from Moose With Cup Creative ends today.

I am biased, but not bullshitting: it's a very good game and I think you'll enjoy having it on your shelf and table. Excited to take it over the finish line in 2026.

Trump already gave so many of us jobs with ICE. We may have to start recruiting soon to fill all these spots.

The ones listed in this thread below are a great starting point for most people. Just remember, this isn't an anarchist zine fair. Focus on the basics, pick 5 - 10 total, and print off as many as you can so everyone can take one of each. This way, we can agitate, educate, and organize our cities!

I came across some comrades tabling these at a liberal event and you'd be surprised to see how many normies were legitimately interested in them. Only a year ago these very same people would have told us to go vote Harris.

Brochures on mutual aid, 100 things more useful than just voting, into to anarcho-communism, why "class" is so important, and anarchist organization.

Excellent thread on how the right projects political violence onto the left. They consistently reframe violence perpetrated by right-wing affiliated people as leftist. This isn’t new and is a common tactic of their projection and distraction.

David Neiwert @davidneiwert.bsky.social · 5d

This has always been part of the GOP playbook: Downplay incidents of right-wing violence, and then repurpose them as supposed acts of leftist terrorism for public consumption. They first did this in 2020.

Bondi: "We've been living through a horrific cycle of political violence in this country ... night after night antifa wrecks havoc on the streets of our cities. In Minnesota, a gunman murdered a state lawmaker and her husband."

a lot of what seem to be fresh horrors is simply that you are now seeing in full view how the sausage was made, and perhaps now instead of going along to get along you might go with the people asking inconvenient & uncomfortable questions about it

it wasn't safety you felt, it was numbness

I couldn't believe this but it's true, Thiel can't decide whether the antichrist is Greta or Big Yud. Positively reeling.

(Washington Post) -- Tech billionaire Peter Thiel recently warned that Swedish activist Greta Thunberg and critics of technology or artificial intelligence are "legionnaires of the Antichrist" in private lectures on Christianity that connected government oversight of Silicon Valley to an apocalyptic future, according to recordings reviewed by The Washington Post.
In the four, roughly two-hour lectures, which began last month and culminated Monday at the Commonwealth Club in San Francisco, Thiel laid out his religious views to a sold-out audience told to keep the contents "off-the-record," according to an event listing. He argued that those who propose limits on technology development not only hinder business but threaten to usher in the destruction of the United States and an era of global totalitarian rule, according to the recordings.
"In the 17th, 18th century, the Antichrist would have been a Dr. Strangelove, a scientist who did all this sort of evil crazy science," Thiel said in his Sept. 15 opening talk, according to the recordings. "In the 21st century, the Antichrist is a Luddite who wants to stop all science. It's someone like Greta or Eliezer," he said, referring to Thunberg and Eliezer Yudkowsky, a prominent critic of the tech industry's approach to AI.

The bailout is going through because it's for Rob Citrone, a hedge fund manager who's friends of the US Treasure Secretary. This is nuts.

Right now, Donald Trump, Kash Patel, Kristi Noem, and other officials are participating in a panel about "Antifa," threatening to "destroy the entire organization [sic] from top to bottom."

Over on The Snarl's Dev blog, we talk about a key aspect of the setting: the gargantuan trees called pillars that make up the entirety of the world.

The Pillars

The pillars are ancient if not immortal, having existed since the dawn of recorded history.
