I think of all the past generations who toiled and wept to give us, the present, such treasures. And how they are destroyed in the blink of an eye, by malignant fools, by the enemies of beauty, civilization, culture and life.

🚨 It looks like the UK government is gearing up to upend copyright law in favour of AI companies, legalising the theft of their work.

This is despite creatives' huge protests, and despite previous proposals being roundly rejected by the public.

Please spread the word.

Like the neocons, Trump’s neo-neocons repeatedly invoke the West’s complacency and unwillingness to defend its own values, a frailty that can be rectified only through the ritual use of military force against weaker targets. The conservative writer Jonah Goldberg once articulated what he called the “Ledeen Doctrine,” after the neoconservative Michael Ledeen, which was: “Every ten years or so, the United States needs to pick up some small crappy little country and throw it against the wall, just to show the world we mean business.” Despite Trump’s rejection of George W. Bush, MAGA bears many similarities to the right-wing politics of that era—a fetishization of violence and torture, the treatment of opposition as treasonous, a disdain for due process, and an anti-Muslim bigotry at odds with fundamental American principles.

Pundits loved telling you about Trump's "anti-interventionism" because it seemed contrarian and interesting, but he always represented neoconservatism's worst impulses shorn of any moral pretense or concern www.theatlantic.com/ideas/2025/1...

The War on Terror Paved the Way for Trump's Rise—Now He's Making It His Own Only the total abolition of the DHS can restore freedom.

NEW @thenation.com: The tools of the War on Terror must be destroyed before Trump uses them to finish building his world order, at home and abroad. What we did at home yesterday is what we do in Iran today is what we will do at home tomorrow. The way we break the cycle is straightforward: abolition.

Highly recommend listening to the whole conversation. Platner is an extraordinary political communicator. I have rarely heard better.

No one wants this except a few elite bastards. No one

The West is marshalling all this effort and tearing any pretence of international law to shreads all to empower an apartheid state that has been openly committing genocide for the past several years.

Any notion the West was some kind of moral arbiter of the world is dead and buried.

"We had a bunch of people who bought into this bullshit line that Donald Trump would be an antiwar candidate, Donald the Dove, it was bullshit, the people who fell for it should apologize today or hang their heads in shame." - me.

Every month the United States provides even more reason to boycott its products and companies — the strikes on Iran being just the latest.

In light of that, it’s a great time to ditch the products and services of US tech companies. I made a comprehensive guide to help you.

Kuwait Airport was hit by Iranian missiles. A 100% civilian airport.

“The forces we are up against have made peace with mass death. They are treasonous to this world and its human and non-human inhabitants.”

Thank you so much Sarah

Reading @mollycrabapple.bsky.social’s new book (out in a few weeks) helped a lot this morning:

Shame on everyone who fell for this transparent bullshit

the same night that the US decided to slaughter dozens of Iranian schoolgirls in an unprovoked regime change war, Sam Altman announced a deal with the US military to let them use OpenAI products to kill people

love to bomb iran just for the hell of it and claim it was “preventative” and then rip the air raid sirens in anticipation of a response which we will act as if it came out of nowhere and is the most egregious act of spontaneous violence to ever happen
