Listening to the Hell is For Heroes album "Transmit Disrupt" and it's amazing. Songs like "Models For The Programme" feel incredibly current. The steady bass line, the passionate vocals, the seamless transitions from track to track... youtu.be/ii3ouareavw?...

On the one hand, I'm leery of nostalgia, and truly believe that wonderful, daring films are being made right now. OTOH, therre has to be something to the fact that multiple gens of folks still love some 90s movies and shows more than modern ones.

Read @nicolefoy.bsky.social's investigation that prompted the congressional probe.
We found that agents had detained >170 Americans this year. More than 20 citizens said they were held for at least a day without being able to contact a lawyer or their loved ones.

Remember when folks thought that armed insurrection against AI was a rational response? Yeah, I don't know why I'm thinking about that today, after seeing a lot of smelly articles about how we should just give in to the "inevitable?"

Terrific article. We are handing over the future of education to a bunch of imperial techbros who absolutely hate critical thinking. www.currentaffairs.org/news/ai-is-d...
AI is Destroying the University and Learning Itself
Students use AI to write papers, professors use AI to grade them, degrees become meaningless, and tech companies make fortunes. Welcome to the death of higher education.

"Foundation" Season 3 was interesting. I've gone back and forth about whether it would be better if the show had stuck closer to the trilogy. Problem is it would've been like watching 300 years of C-Span. They made a good choice by trying to make the show its own thing. However, /1

Amazon workers go on strike world-wide. “From Germany to Bangladesh, thousands of workers walked off the job on Friday and marched against Amazon’s labor practices to push for better wages, working conditions, and union protections." www.commondreams.org/news/make-am...
Global Black Friday Strikes Against Amazon Target 'Techno-Authoritarian' Assault on Workers | Common Dreams

Sign up for anti ICE patrols. Make whistle kits. Join grassroots orgs. Pitch in to your local mutual aid. Respect the picket line (or join!) Help your fellow humans however you can. This is how we get thru this.

I ran into an advocate who told me that the 9 men detained from Canal Street last month struggled to find legal representation. Historically, Black immigrants experience disproportionately *more* removals than any other group. Anti-Black racism fuels US immigration in *every* way.

The division of labor into "skilled" and "unskilled" was set up by capitalists to get the working class to fight against itself rather than unite. Remember that the next time you whine about how Starbucks workers "are just making coffee" and thus shouldn't get decent wages or working conditions.

Okay so I'm happy that the Epstein issue is coming to a head finally but where was this energy in 2021? Were the Dems afraid Bill Clinton was going wheeze up and shiv them from behind? This could've been decisive in derailing Drumpf 2.0. Instead they kept telling us how careful Garland was being.

MTG is going to try and be the Feyd-Rautha to Trump's Rabban. Pretend to be the "nice one." Talk about how we need to get back to "common sense" and "shared values." Fetterman etc will welcome her in. But really she's just another asshole installed by the real power (the Baron and the Emperor).
