We can shut it all down.

Start organizing your communities. We will need to prep with strike funds and mutual aid networks.

Had dinner with a bunch of political scientists last night, just marveling at how fast U.S. institutions are crumbling... it took Erdogan fifteen years and an attempted coup against him to be this radical.

Good morning to everyone, but especially to all the sloths, for today is their special day!

This woodcut of a sloth* was printed in 1635 in 'Historia Naturae, Maxime Peregrinae' by Juan Eusebio Nieremberg.

* may it not haunt your nightmares

Woodcut illustration of a sloth. It has shaggy fur, long front legs, short back legs, and long claws. The expression on its face is a mixture of startled and weary.

Perched on a hilltop overlooking the Pontine Marshes, ancient Norba boasts some of the best-preserved polygonal walls in Italy. The town plan is a rare early example of Roman orthogonal urbanism on difficult terrain, utilizing a system of terracing.

I found out why we celebrate Columbus Day and it's wild. Spoiler: it has almost nothing to do with Columbus.

It does have to do with violence fueled by anti-immigrant hysteria.

Columbus Day and its ‘Mafia’ origins

This is nothing more than a continuation of the president’s desperate weaponization of our justice system.
