Philip Larkin’s this be the verse mangled into Ozymandias, the text reads

They Oz you up, your mandyias.
They may not mean to, but they do.
They give you vast and trunkless legs
A sunken shattered visage too.
But they were Ozzed up in their turn
By Mandyias upon the sand
Who half the time had wrinkled lips And half in sneering cold command.
Oz hands on mandyias to man.
Like mighty works atop a shelf Look on them early as you can
Ye mighty and despair yourself

A grocery store calling the cops to keep people from pulling food out of a dumpster is permanently etched in my brain as people with money and power deciding if they can't profit, they would rather see food rot and people starve.

Oh damn, Kohei Saito has entered into the techno-feudalism debate and his argument aligns with what me and @bigblackjacobin have been saying for a long time: Stop saying techno-feudalism, this is called rentier capitalism, and it's the basis for techno-fascism. www.tandfonline.com/doi/full/10....

Rentier capitalism, technofascism and the destruction of the common by Kohei Saito and Ryuji Sasaki

This paper critically examines the emerging discourse on technofeudalism. While mainstream narratives celebrate technological advancement driven by American tech giants, proponents of the technofeudalism thesis argue that a new ruling class – ‘cloudalists’ – has supplanted traditional capitalists, extracting data and rent in ways reminiscent of feudal relations. However, this discourse fails to account for the ongoing dynamism of capitalist investment and competition. In contrast, this paper advances the concept of rentier capitalism by revisiting Marx’s analysis in Capital, with particular attention to his often-overlooked theory of ground rent in Volume III. Drawing on Marx’s notebooks published for the first time in the Marx-Engels-Gesamtausgabe (MEGA), the paper argues that rentier capitalism constitutes the most advanced and contradictory form of contemporary capitalism, which accelerates the destruction of the common and undermines the conditions necessary for working-class solidarity. As the dual crisis of capital accumulation and anti-systemic movements intensifies socio-economic and political instability, the threat of an authoritarian turn towards technofascism becomes increasingly imminent.

Lmao

A “still life” of sorts of what I take to be an extremely “some kind of guy” coded nightstand. “2666” by Roberto Bolaño (en español, gracias), Pynchon’s “Vineland,” and the Qur’an. A bottle of melatonin and nail clippers. In retrospect embarrassingly dusty headboard.

Me dad once told me Olympia was my grandpa's beer of choice so I'll always have a place in my heart for it. Curse the corporatization and buyouts of Pacific Northwest macro breweries by big beer. Olympia, Rainier, and Henry Weinhards should have stood 1000 years but we can't have nice things
