I must not discourse.
Discourse is the mind-killer.
Discourse is the little-death that brings total obliteration.
I will face the discourse.
I will permit it to pass over me and through me.

the people who are trying to make us lonely—who are the same people who are trying to make us poor, who are the same people who are drying the lakes to build data centers, who are the same people who are trying to shut down borders, who are the same people who drew those borders in the first place
this week's post is about why all of us dream of throwing our phones into the abyss.

go find out the official anarchist position on whatever you'd like
Ok, here's a pitch: comment with a screenshot showing that you have donated any amount and I will tell you the Official Anarchist Take on the question or topic of your choice.
If you've got a few bucks to spare, this fundraiser could use some support.

Musk wants to be a Renaissance man, but he's not even a paleolithic man.
Paleolithic people made art, cared for the sick, & got together to share resources & ideas.
Musk would have died alone, crying that no one saw the genius of his plan to monetize hitting yourself in the head with a big rock.

If you're feeling overwhelmed by the hideous ubiquity of AI slop I strongly recommend looking at breathtaking art that predates the written word and crying at the enduring beauty of human creativity for a bit.
