Another Ansarallah orbital strike from Operation Allah is Stronger in Might and More Severe in Punishment.

Turns out large-scale social organization is gonna be somewhat alienating in the benjaminian sense no matter what ya do, might as well de-alienate and exert social control over it as best you can, even if it’s mediated. My 2¢ anyway. Best we can hope for post ‘heroic-era’.

I know it’s easy to lionize the old bolsheviks (there’s a saying about it, etc) but it’s mandatory bogdanov appreciation time. Don’t forget he who died pioneering blood transfusion and organ transplantation theory

Houston or Vegas. Total ersatz shitholes both, and monuments to the negation of all things humane and natural, affronts to virtue itself. Let all three cities be washed into the sea— or better, swallowed up by the earth as a graven Ozymandias for future beings.

Everybody should Just Ruin Their Lives and Get Really Lazy and Fat and Retarded and Stop Going to Their Jobs and Just Eat a Bunch of Dinner and Meals and Smoke Weed and Drink Beer and Lay Down and Go To Sleep Until Everything Gets Better

Looks like Mumia and Kelley were somehow either inattentive or snookered by this whole letter business (echoes of the Gaza letter a couple years back), which accounts for the only two I really had any surprise at having signed at all

Just an errant but heartfelt word of advice: to any of you who are similar to me, if you are at or approaching your mid-30s, please internalize the fact that you are no longer made of the steel you once were, but a much more brittle alloy— and recall this fact *before* it matters

Who decided lies are sold in packs? And are there twenty lies in an american pack or is it only ten like in europe? that feels right, these a huge cheap abundance us ones and then an expensive but more refined European set

After tireless struggle by victims and finally a 1-hour TV documentary this week, settlements south of Jerusalem admit their leaders have long created child pornography by filming when they gang-rape kids in the community: "No longer in denial: Gush Etzion admits to ritual abuse"

After an obscure defense vendor won a $12 million no-bid contract w/ ICE, I noticed something odd on its website: The firm was using a (still watermarked!) stock photo for the chief of its “development team.” Things only got more bizarre from there…

Orcas have brain structures you don't have. Neurobiologist Lori Marino's MRI work on killer whales identified a fourth cortical segment called the paralimbic lobe. It sits next to the limbic system and handles emotion and social awareness. It doesn't exist in humans or in any land mammal. In orcas, it's so elaborated it erupts into the cortex. Their cortical limbic lobe, the region handling self-awareness and social processing, is exceptionally developed. Their brain weighs roughly 12 pounds, four times the mass of yours. They have spindle cells, the same neurons that let humans reason about other minds. When an orca surfaces and locks eyes with you, it's running a social assessment with neural hardware specialized for exactly that. It knows you're a separate being. It knows you're watching it back. It's evaluating you. Here's what should recontextualize the clip. In all of recorded history, wild orcas have killed zero humans. Zero documented fatalities. One surfer was bitten off California in 1972, and the orca released him the moment it realized he wasn't a sea lion. A 12-year-old was bumped in Alaska in 2005. The orca approached, touched him, turned back. Orcas hunt great white sharks. They coordinate wave attacks that sweep seals off ice floes. They take down moose swimming between islands. They have every capability to kill you. They have never chosen to. Marino's explanation: the orca neocortex is developed enough to instantly distinguish a human from prey. Other researchers point to orca culture, the traditions passed through pods across generations, in which humans simply aren't food. That look is recognition and restraint. From a mind built for social cognition at a scale your brain can't reach.

Hey all, it’s publishing day for my book “How to Sell a Genocide,” which is a data-driven account of mainstream media’s role in creating the conditions of mass death in Gaza. 100% of royalties go to @MECAForPeace. Thank you! a.co/d/0eEN8Afq plutobooks.com/product/how-t…

Pretty striking psychoanalytic artifact from about the last 15 seconds. Would be anathema to any serious theologian but we all know that’s not what American Christianity is really about
