This is some funny ‘long tail’ shit.

National Shutdown, this Friday.

Bryan answered by explaining in a post that the song “hits on both sides of the aisle”. He later added: “Left wing or right wing, we’re all one bird and American. To be clear, I’m on neither of these radical sides.” But this both-sides-ism felt incongruent with the song’s scathing message, heard in full for the first time on 9 January: law enforcement, ICE, and the onslaught of gun violence in America are contributing to the “fading of the red, white and blue”. (Bryan’s team declined an interview offer.)

It’s a start, but it is so milquetoast.

Chomsky is neither a Zionist nor anti-BDS:

‘I am opposed to any appearance in Israel that is used for nationalistic or other propaganda purposes to cover up its occupation and denial of Palestinian human rights. I’ve been involved in activities to hold Israel accountable for its international law violations since before the BDS movement took shape. While I have some tactical differences with the BDS movement, I strongly support the actions and continue to participate in them.’

No more math!

Thanks for starting this discussion. I’ve linked this post in !meta@slrpnk.net.

@Five@slrpnk.net did not! He among a pretty broad consensus of other people was singing the praises of an earlier ceasefire, and claiming this was confirmation that Biden could have achieved one any time he wanted.

I appreciate that in your slander of me, you link to evidence that completely contradicts your statements. I hope that the dwindling group of people that gives you any credibility will check the receipts and understand what you represent.

The video on seattletimes is the same video from the dailyuw site, and it’s still available as far as I can tell.

Correction – SLRPNK.net’s admins are all anarchists, but the server is not ‘for’ anarchists. Limiting our membership to anarchists for one means we would have to precisely define what an anarchist is, and then enforce that definition on our membership. In spaces where someone can be ejected for not being anarchist, this leads to attempts by people to censor others by trying to narrow the definition so the people they argue with fall on the wrong side of the line.

We’re looking for people who believe in the value of scientific consensus. We’re building a community that wants society to change to better meet the challenges of resource scarcity, ecological collapse, and increasing authoritarian influence in politics. We celebrate good faith discussion, and discourage trolling and bad rhetoric. We don’t tolerate hate speech and spamming. We believe a diverse set of ideas and approaches are more likely to solve complex problems than adhering to a strict party line. As anarchists and adminstrators, we approach revolution through prefiguration, believe that means and ends are inseparable, and want our server to reflect the society of the future we’d like to live in – one where diversity of thought is foundational in finding creative answers, and people with varying goals and ideals are able to work together to solve shared problems.

Table saws are dangerous, and to cut accurately and straight, you need to build an appropriate sled. You can get better safety and more bang for your buck cutting it over-dimension with a jigsaw or hacksaw, and then making a wooden jig to finish the end with a router.

You’re off to a great start! Working with adjustable aluminum extrusions is smart.

Milei is the guy who gave Elon Musk his novelty chainsaw. Fascism isn’t an ideology in the traditional sense, and when a fascist-adjacent government actually becomes fascist is an exercise in individual discernment. Perhaps fascism is best described as a spectrum, and in that framing, Milei is pretty fascist. WSWS isn’t wrong – calling someone with significant fascist qualities who seeks out fascist allies a ‘fascist’ seems like a reasonable use of language.

You could feed your whole family with that much soup!

Don’t downplay it – it’s a whole $4! That’s a bowl of soup for all of your privacy. Until they appeal it, that is.

Its usually called an Individual in Custody Trust Account, and it varies from state to state and there’s a different system for federal crimes.

It seems like this is being prosecuted as a state crime, so you would go through the Utah Department of Corrections, usually with a money order. Follow the guidelines from the UDOC. Pay attention, if the case gets elevated to a federal crime, the procedure will change.

(Edit) If you don’t want to deal with the bureaucracy of the prison industrial complex, you can donate to an Anarchist Black Cross organization. On the 21st of this month, several are hosting a fundraiser called Running Down the Walls, and you can give money pretty anonymously and in-person.

There’s a good chance that Tyler will not be on their list depending on how his politics shake out, but you can be sure your money will go to someone in prison who would be happy to piss in Trump’s breakfast cereal and who is not a white supremacist.

The way you’re phrasing it sounds like victim-blaming here.

Celebrating Kirk’s death is a form of political speech, just like burning an American flag.

Reddit has always used “free speech” as a shield for toxic content that brought in advertising revenue.

“We stand for free speech… we are not going to ban distasteful subreddits.”

If they were participating in a platform that supported free speech, it wouldn’t matter how ‘toxic’ they are. They were lied to.

I hope it doesn’t surprise anyone it was banned. But let’s not pretend its because they were toxic. The only reason Reddit has ever pumped the breaks on a toxic community that wasn’t politically left is when they were dragged over the coals in the mainstream news about it and it threatened to hurt their advertising revenue.

TheDeprogram’s ban is political censorship. If you don’t embrace late-stage capitalism, it is not safe to build a community on Reddit.

Thank you for continually putting your account at risk for the benefit of the Fediverse.

The speed of technological progress tends toward an exponential curve, and Frank Herbert understood and knew this, but wanted to write a serious medieval saga set in the distant future. The Butlerian Jihad was always a plot contrivance to explain why in the thousands of years of intergalactic civilization, human life is still recognizable to us, and still recognizable from their in-story ancestors.

But just because AI was treated as an enemy by fictional fascists, doesn’t mean it was good. Fascists are enemies to other fascists. It’s an ideology that is always seeking enemies, and will either invade outwards or purge inwards - but their enemies don’t need to be ‘good’ or ‘bad,’ they only need to be ‘other.’

It can both be true that a technocratic class using thinking machines would have dominated the human race, and the force that prevented their rule is a theofascist eugenic autocracy. The theme Herbert I think would have appreciated his readers noticing is that there is no real difference between a crushing totalitarian dictatorship under an inhuman technocratic class, and a crushing totalitarian dictatorship under a charismatic leader and a religious cult.
