Made a 3D printed 2x macro lens from a microscope objective. The geode on my desk is more amazing than I realized.

Remember, for the Dems, the problem isn’t dropping bombs on a
country where people are fighting for justice, the problem is how they organized the bombing.

Dems never have a problems with bombing other countries - especially those fighting for justice. They just want it done according to their sacred texts.

I love love love when New Book Day gives work by some of my favorite humans. Even better? Horror taking place in the woods by my house. Can’t wait to dig in!

Thank you for staying creepy, @johnkpeck.bsky.social @tenebrouspress.bsky.social

Does anyone really think Bush Sr. filed reports or documents about his activities? That seems rather naive.

The DNC won’t “learn” because they already know and laugh at us over drinks with their collaborators in the RNC.

The people who need to learn are the ones who think the Democrats are a viable vehicle for change. They are not.

How can you continue to push this narrative? And how can anyone still be buying it? The Dems have not “failed”. They have succeeded in doing what they have been doing for decades which is to block or co-opt movement to the left. This is not spinelessness or stupidity - this is their function.

Much of the reactionary movement can be distilled down to two motivators:

"I'm angry that this did not give me an erection", and

"I'm angry that this gave me an erection".

What in the imperialist fuck is this nonsense?

None of these oligarchs, their cheerleaders, or their apologists should be able to show their faces in public without shame and ridicule.

VOA is part of the propaganda wing of the American Empire. Just because Trump decided to kill it, doesn’t mean it was worth defending.

What’s happening generally is fucked up, obviously. But I’m not gonna shed too many tears over the propaganda wing of the American empire.

This is the inevitable outcome of capitalism, full stop. There is no reforming a system that doesn’t have human flourishing at its core.

Surely you don’t think the US siding with oligarchy against democracy is a new phenomenon.

I mean, the US hasn’t been a trustworthy ally to anything but capital and whiteness for its entire history.

Seeing Leonard Peltier under an open sky in North Dakota is a bright ray of light in dark times.

There you go. Fixed your headline for you.

They really are just stripping the wiring out of the entire US.

Mass immiseration is the goal.

Ah, cool. So there IS a benefit to having a country run by octogenarians - they remember polio.

In addition to symbolically switching the tool you use to consume Internet, might I suggest reading Marx and Lenin?

That’s a great question. I just finished “Gifts of the Crow” and I don’t recall any mention of this particular capacity. You might dig into Marzluff’s papers and see if there’s anything.
