I don't think we listen to the same type of music so the only one of these albums I went through was the new Justice. It was kind of mid, but I think Afterimage is a banger.

There was a time where the most popular video for the song only had one p in the title and boy was that a bad typo
There was this great catty Malm quote in Corona, Climate and Chronic Emergency where he offhandly refers to 
's "airport best-seller Enlightenment Now" 
Liberals don't read shit
The government said it had agreed to introduce new laws so those who kill or seriously injure people because of dangerous or careless cycling face the same penalties as drivers and motorcyclists.
I mean, it's hard to imagine it's a significant problem but if that's all they're doing then I mean that seems reasonable. They had to go back eight years to find someone killed by a cyclist, but I'm sure injuries happen fairly regularly.
I'm a cyclist, I regularly see fellow cyclists doing things that make pedestrians unsafe and that's bad. If the law is as incoherent wrt cyclists as the article claims I don't think passing a law like this is bad, even though there are some loonies they quote who are out to lunch.
It is ok to bully an adult, that doesn't mean it's ok to bully every adult get outta here with this.
Yes obviously what I meant is its always ok to bully adults nothing has been clearer
They literally used an opinion poll in the article
Maybe your argument could cohere if you used the same metrics for both populations. Where's your graph of income confidence for the US Shuli?
Just because it's ok to do something to an adult doesn't mean it's ok to do that same thing to a child. Many such cases.
I'd recommend checking out some of the stuff Gabriel Rockhill has been cooking up lately about the New Left and Western Marxism more broadly. He's working on a book on the topic and his articles and interviews lately have been pretty interesting.
I haven't watched this yet (I just found this trying to recommend you something) but it looks like a good summary of his work - a lecture called The Imperial Theory Industry & the Compatible Left Intelligentsia
(I should add that while I haven't watched this, now that I know it exists I am going to.)
Allan Francovich's Operation Gladio (1992) is a great doc. It's completely unimaginable that the BBC or any other western media would put out something like this today.
I mean, if you're a pro-Palestine activist in a Western country and you didn't think your government was spying on you (or that your government would readily share its intelligence w Israel) I don't know what to tell you
Wait we've been dunking on /0 peeps? Gd I didn't even know y'all gotta tell us this stuff I never think to sort by "all"
Unless you're an entertainer or athlete or something and you can just sell your labour in a way that everyone wants to pay to consume specifically your labour you're inevitably building your wealth on the labour of poor people
Like they're so shamelessly blatant about who their reader base is nowadays I just can't
Here's the article if you want to read it I can't summon the energy !pain https://web.archive.org/web/20240507210734/https://www.nytimes.com/2024/05/07/magazine/retire-early-saving.html
She married a Marxist scholar of course she understands dialectic materialism. You do live in the context of all in which you live and what came before you.
She was telling her dipshit lib kids not to be idealist. Critical support to mama Harris.
Spoiler: they don't say who killed them!surprised-pika-messed-up
I was organizing with a group of (mostly) anarchists today. In my experience every anarchist I've organized with in real life is cool af and takes their praxis very seriously with major time commitments focused on improving the lives of workers and lumpen. They are usually hotter than any other tendency too !shrug-outta-hecks. No whining about "tankies" or Kronstadt, just showing up to meetings, finding creative solutions and putting in the work.
Despite our nominal non-sectarian rule, I feel like there is still general derision towards anarchists here so I just wanted to remind everyone that these internet anarcho-Atlanticists on [insert dunk_tank instance or subreddit here] are just an online phenomenon and not real life. (Have I met those guys IRL too? Yes, but not in real organizing just in book clubs etc and they are tedious but there's still more to work with than than a lib.)
So here's to our anarchist comrades !maduro-coffee keep keeping it real

I've been really digging The East is a Podcast for this. Definitely been the best pod to help me feel sane lately, their Tankie Group Therapy eps with the Electric Intifada peeps haven't necessarily been informative but just hearing a bunch of reasonable people talk about this stuff while everyone else in the imperial core is completely deranged has been helpful, and the ep from a few days ago with the International Coordinator of Samidoun was really interesting
The Citations Needed live shows have also been really great, having Adam's crystal clear focus on beating down lib talking points like a decorated Twitter veteran is cleansing to the soul.
RWN has been doing some Hamas deep dives but I haven't checked in since their first few breaking news eps.
I thought the Chapo ep with Mohammad Alsaafin was good, but I don't really listen to the show so I don't know if they've done much since then.

(Best eps of TEIAP are the ones without the host lol)
Maz Ajl is a cool guy, but barely spoke 100 words in this interview. He just set up Kates to open up a firehouse. The talk was super interesting, specifically focusing on the history and effect of terror lists and NGOs constricting the scope of liberatory support for Palestine.
I've heard of NGOization and thought I understood it but her walking through the process so clearly was really illuminating.
Then arguing with people about whether the kernels popping is "justified".
Trying to focus on the slaughter of regular Israelis and whether it's good or evil to attack civilians is just such a ridiculous approach to me. The question has no meaning in this context. If you don't want kernels to pop take the pot off of the flame, if you refuse to do that then shut the fuck up about it.
Like obviously it sucks that everyday people were intentionally killed but the blame is just being put on the entirely wrong place, it's just individualist moralism that works to strip the event of any context. It feels like it's a rhetorical funnel whose function is to push those who engage in this moralizing to the next logical point in the talking-point journey: whether Israel has a right to defend itself.
