The common cormorant or shag
Lays eggs inside a paper bag.
The reason you will see no doubt
It is to keep the lightning out.
But what these unobservant birds
Have never noticed is that herds
Of wandering bears may come with buns
And steal the bags to hold the crumbs.
Lays eggs inside a paper bag.
The reason you will see no doubt
It is to keep the lightning out.
But what these unobservant birds
Have never noticed is that herds
Of wandering bears may come with buns
And steal the bags to hold the crumbs.
Which lines of poetry live rent-free in your head?

Yesterday my partner and I counted all the ads along Chicago's Brown Line for "Friend," a company selling an AI chatbot pendant, and tallied how many of those ads were defaced.
Still working on a longer piece on this, but here's the quick and dirty: we counted 104 "Friend" ads total, 42 defaced.

So we'll be extracting gold teeth now
This is a new low from a govt plumbing the depths of performative cruelty in hopes that the public won’t notice they have no answers to the real issues facing this country
A sensible, humane govt would focus on safe routes to prevent people making dangerous small boat crossings

A new direct action group calling itself 'Yvette Cooper' claims to have targeted Time Logistics for providing transport in Britain for Israel's Elbit Systems. Its message to the government on social media says, "if you want to ban Palestine Action, you'll have to proscribe Yvette Cooper too"

Watching How Much Wood Would A Woodchuck Chuck, the Herzog doc on cattle auctioneers. They spend their lives getting into tense situations. Can't help but wonder what would happen when one of these guys crashes both vocally and psychologically.

If you've been sickened by the posts shared from the Ballymena Reaction Group (still live and co-ordinating violence on Facebook), remember that Britain First have been actively organising there since 2018. This is what happens when we fail to give fascists the reception they deserve.
