Once again, trigger discipline of a guy playing a video game in an arcade. These rejects are playing Call of Duty on our streets.
Earlier on Canal Street, as agents attempted to disperse, one who I recognize from the courts pulled out a taser and threatened protester with it. @thecity.nyc
REMINDER- we kicked ass on Saturday. Keep your chin up
In social movement studies, we talk about how marches and protests expand the threshold of acceptable risk so that people take more and bigger social risks IN PUBLIC, EN MASSE. This is extremely important for the bourgeois white folks holding signs and building social rapport.
Not a shitpost: #NoKings is feel-good performative activism for comfortable mostly upper and upper middle class white folks and that’s good, actually. Millions of people in the streets protesting a fascist regime is good. It is good for the normie baseline to be massive displays of public dissent.
Absolute sociopath.

Threatening to bodily assault people with pathogen filled human fluids is unhinged

Your "big tent" cannot be so large that it encompasses those who would deny civil/human rights, due process, and the rule of law to *anyone* and that includes the criminals in this administration. It for damn sure means we don't sacrifice immigrants or trans people.

As we approach the end of the year and you have some potential disposable income to share, consider supporting your local mutual aid projects. This year has been rough but next year promises to be even more difficult for people.

There are definitely orgs in your communities that can use support.

I was talking to a divorced guy that I really liked until I asked what went wrong with his marriage and he described his anger toward her resulting in 'financial belligerence'. I inquired- he confirmed that he meant he was maliciously spending on things he knew would piss her off.

Agreeing loudly and with my whole entire being
No one wants AI, no one asked for AI, it will burn the planet, destroy art & jobs, & produces nothing of value - except capital accumulation in the form of a commodities bubble. It is tech dystopia; regression thru technology; techno-anti-futurism; capital accumulation as de-development 2/2

OPUS DEI IS THE SCIENTOLOGY OF CATHOLICISM THEY ARE THE ONLY THING "THE DA VINCI CODE" GOT RIGHT THEY ARE AWFUL AND THEY ARE EVIL AND THEY HAVE ENORMOUS POWER AND THEY ARE INTEGRAL TO TRADFASH CATHOLICISM
BREAKING: Pope Leo XIV is set to effectively disband Opus Dei in the coming weeks.

This would be the most sweeping internal reform of his pontificate — and a dramatic continuation of Pope Francis’s legacy.
NEW: Pope Leo Set To Break Up Opus Dei
If Pope Leo does indeed approves a plan that effectively dissolves Opus Dei’s structure, it would be the most significant internal action of his short pontificate to date.

2 camps on genAI in the acad world (w/ some but not much gray in between):
1. People who have gathered the evidence, thought about it w/ their own brains, & become full throated resisters
2. Shills (knowingly or not) who repeat tech company propaganda laced with disingenuous slogans and ad hominems
"Klein’s position disregards the Overton window entirely: By treating “reasonableness” as a timeless, universal value, he ignores the ways his self-congratulatory centrism has become structurally complicit with the rise of fascism—even as it proves to be a great way to earn a living."
LACAN MENTIONED
"And yet Táíwò’s own position misses something fundamental about the world we now inhabit. Shame does not operate in a vacuum...today, the sturdy ground that once formed shame’s foundation has collapsed."
