In the first week of war, the US struck 3,000 Iranian targets (now up to 5,500) with an unknown number of munitions and Israel struck 3,400 targets with 7,500 munitions.

This allows an interesting comparison to Gaza, where Israel struck 3,600 targets with 6,000 munitions in the first 6 days…

I will simply reiterate what I have said for years, namely that whatever their utility when it comes to individual psychopathology, the ideas of repetition compulsions and the death drive are super clarifying when it comes to the libidinal economies of settler colonial imperial violence

i guess my critique of the AOC remarks at the munich security conference (and ig biden's people as well) is that they all want to frame the current status quo as the result of a "system betrayed" and not, instead, as the result of deliberate choices, the system itself *being* the issue.

Cities should be thinking of adaptation strategies to build resilience! We had several inches of snow followed by several days of below freezing weather. There are literal sheets of ice on the sidewalks. This will no longer be an aberration lol

The way DC snow clean up is going, it’s pretty obvious that we’re woefully underprepared for the extreme weather events that are becoming the norm with climate collapse.
