This is the aftermath of an ICE kidnapping a few blocks from my home in St. Paulβ€”an hour ago. A quiet street full of broken glass and at least three wrecked cars. The target of the kidnapping was taken away by ambulance. He was on a stretcher and covered by a sheet, though a cop said he was alive.

Just want to point out, while everyone's being horrified, that this is a fairly normal email you'd see in the Los Angeles Sheriff's Department

Israel used weapons in Gaza that made thousands of Palestinians evaporate US-made thermal weapons burning at 3,500C caused 2,842 people to "evaporate" in Gaza, Al Jazeera investigation finds.

There are no words to adequately describe the evil here.

Roses are red, Violets are blue, let’s abolish ICE and police unions too! πŸ”₯ Angelenos know how to take care of each other, just like we have been since June, just like we will continue to until ICE is abolished.

The Wall Street Journal just illustrated the core argument of my book: a system rigged to reward capital over labor is one in which even full-time work no longer secures the most basic material needs.

This is the economic order that produces the "working homeless."

Since we're re-litigating Ring's sins: How did they grow so fast?

Until 2016, Ring gave out free/discounted cameras to police & giving cops perks if the public (including victims of crimes) used the officer's discount code to buy cameras--all of which meant Ring essentially made cops salespeople.

To repeat.

And to repeat:

The political faction saying we must all have to log legal ID before speaking or accessing speech on the Internet,

and the political faction who believe transgenderism is a dangerous mental contagion that spreads by speech about transgenderism,

are the same faction.

Nazi concentration camp prisoner population by year

ICE is currently holding around 80,000 detainees. Nazi Germany didn't reach this number in its formal camp system until 1942, nine years after seizing power and three years into the war.

This is the definitive point by Chris Hedges, re: Noam Chomsky and Epstein. Chomsky's entire value as a public intellectual is to know what people like Epstein are up to and why. Him feigning ignorance is absurd, and if it were true it would undermine the rest of his career.

Generative AI cannot compete with human creativity, no matter how loudly its supporters claim that it can. We're fighting for a Los Angeles that nurtures and supports art and the people who make it.

There’s a great bit in Adam Curtis’ latest doc where he shows an elderly woman in the Tatcher era, shut in and alone in her house, who is utterly obsessed with the new CCTV cameras she just installed.

We’ve all become that woman.

For years, when conservatives see things they don't like on TV, they have told themselves that this is New York and Hollywood pushing the "liberal agenda." So seeing Bad Bunny at the Super Bowl alongside military jet flyovers and ads for dystopic ai is very frustrating for them

Every study shows that being in a jail or prison, no matter how "nice" or whatever, shortens your lifespan. It does. So the government is taking years off the lives of people, including children, when it opts to put them in jail.

The thing I love so much about metal is that I’ll listen to a band, fall in love with the music purely based on the feeling without understanding the lyrics, buy the vinyl and finally read the lyrics and they’re usually really poetic and beautiful. Sunrot have great lyrics!

It’s funny because to me the two movies of this decade are from 2019, Parasite and Uncut Gems. Parasite is about the inequality that’s become impossible to justify. And Gems is the best movie about how insane it is to be ensnared with a shameless gambling addict, whether it’s Howie or Trump

I hate being an art critic in an inherently conservative culture. And I mean all of American culture, including liberal spaces, is conservative in that people just want to reefy old stories and are so hostile to new perspectives and ideas in the US, generally speaking. It’s so tedious.

jack asked if i would sketch up a poster to tell people in nearby neighborhoods about the partnership between flock and ring, and this is what i came up with. it can be printed on an 8.5x11 sheet of paper.
