Mamdani: For too long, those fluent in the good grammar of civility have deployed decorum to mask agendas of cruelty

Cars should be the most inconvenient mode of transport within cities, and only used when large carrying capacity is needed or when traveling long distances to a location inaccessible by other means. Build cities for pedestrians, bikes, buses, and trains instead of cars.

Stanhill, Lancashire, 1764. Wear and carpenter James Hargreaves invents the Spinning Jenny, the first practical spinning-frame, to make the tedious task of producing cloth a little bit faster. He doesn't know it yet, but this will destroy the world. Spurred by inventions like his, the industrial revolution will transform everything -- work power, the wealth of nations. Society as we know it began here, and it wasn't great for everyone. But a group of weavers and textile workers saw this future coming. And did their best to prevent it.

"Curse you spinning jenny, you ruined everything!" The standard narrative does that LUDDITES were foolish lunatics who, in fear of technology, decided progress was bad, and started hitting it with sticks. But the truth is entire ways of life were being destroyed. Previously, skilled craftsmen were respected for the time and effort it took to do their work. The entire family usit would form a cottage industry - creating something valuable, and command a decent living. But when a machine can work 10 times faster its owner can charge less for the prodcts- craftsmen couldn't compete and were left out of work almost overnight. And as factories became a fixture of the british landscape, these now unemployed labourers often ended up working the factories that had just destroyed their way of life. Britain was the most prosperous nation in history, factory owners became extremely wealthy and influential. But the people doing the actual work saw almost none of it.

Factory work paid little, since "the machines" did "the real work" human labourers were deemed unimportant and replaceable. FUN FACT!: Factory owners preferred to hire ORPHANS since less people would notice if they were maimed or killed on the job! Now the owners quickly realized the workers might notice they did all the work for almost no pay. If they went on STRIKE or ARGUED FOR HGHER WAGES, this would threaten their tremendous wealth. In 1799, Parliament passed the Combination Act, which made FORMING TRADE UNIONS, COLLECTIVE BARGAINING, AND GOING ON STRIKE ILLEGAL. Organizing against the rich became a crime.

If you were living through it, opposing the industrial revolution wasn't techno-phobia. It was SELF-DEFENSE. The combination act forced unions underground into secret societies. And the greatest secret of all was their leader - Ned Ludd. Ned had been a folk character for years. In one version after being whipped by his master, he smashed two knitting frames in a rage. In more fanciful versions, he then escaped to the Sherwood forest, here he lived among the animals as their king. Some versions specifically call him 'Much Better Than Robin Hood'.

Happy Labor Day!

Today we're bringing you The First Union, as told by HBomberguy (@hbomberguy.bsky.social) and illustrated by Skutch (@skutchdraws.bsky.social) It's the dawn of the industrial revolution, and of the way many of us work...

Have you ever heard of the term "Luddite" from an elder?

For Arc Raiders to ride the wave of human sociability all the way to the bank, while also being so contemptuous of the thing that makes us social animals in its own workflow demonstrates a lack of artistic integrity that I find impossible to ignore.

Our review: https://bit.ly/49bVn01

sort of incredible to read a review that doesn't just made a vague nod at AI being bad, but actively reckons with the ways in which falling obsessively to AI usage actively obliterates the artistic intent and integrity of the work you've made.

Anytime you ask “why did the Times cover it this way?” or whatever corporate media it is, remember that influential moderates are the tool of the wealth class and are there to normalize whatever the wealthy want and create doubt regarding reform and change.

Thousands protest in Santa Fe, Albuquerque for No Kings day • Source New Mexico Thousands took to the streets in the New Mexico state capitol and Albuquerque to participate in No Kings day

Thousands took to the streets in Santa Fe and Albuquerque for No Kings Day on Saturday, two of nearly 30 protests planned around New Mexico.

Cover for Feral Flame - Book Four of the Noss Saga, by Joaquín Baldwin. A one-horned buffalo holds her hands forward to control a green flame shaped like a running wolf. Her brown fur is draped with long white fabrics that flow in the wind and blend into the pink mist behind her. Her horn is decorated with golden caps and rings, her nose and ears pierced. Her green eyes stare directly at the viewer.

🐮🔥 COVER REVEAL TIME 💚🐺
Another amazing illustration by @caraid.bsky.social. Look at those colors! The buffalo's name is Lune, and you'll meet her VERY SOON, because Feral Flame will release NOVEMBER 11!

Media literacy is going to have to start including ways to recognize artificial intelligence, as well as ways to identify & source factual material.

I know that feels hopelessly aspirational given the current state of things, but a girl can dream.

Dr. Jane Goodall filmed an interview with Netflix in March 2025 that she understood would only be released after her death.

Panel 1: We see from the inside of a house as a large, muscular leg, belonging to someone clearly taller than the doorway, kicks the door off of its hinges, cracking the door and sending splinters flying everywhere and taking chunks out of the wall that it's attached to. The door itself is flying off into the room with the handle and hinges falling off. Panel 2: A large muscular figure with a head that looks like a Minecraft dirt block bends into the doorway, wrapping the fingers of its right hand around the frame and moving its left shoulder in first. It says "ALRIGHT, TIME FOR THE MONTH-LONG MINECRAFT ADDICTION YOU GET EVERY 4 YEARS" Panel 3: We look from behind the figure's shoulder as we see that Shen is being held hostage by Hornet from Hollow Knight: Silksong. She is standing behind him, with her needle to his throat, as he looks at the Minecraft dirt block guy in horror. Panel 4: The Minecraft dirt block guy is outside again, on the grass next to the cement path leading up to the door, now leaning down with his left hand on his knee and his right hand closing the door gently with a "click". He seemingly put it back into place, despite it still being very broken. He says "some fights are beyond me."

People never expect for socializing to work like a muscle.

And that learning to socialize *as yourself* without masking, fronting, or being REALLY OVERWHELMING to the person you're dealing with, is its own set of exercises.

You are not just innately good at it. It takes work.

The Fight Against Mindless Fascism: The Check-In with Danielle Moodie and Jared Yates Sexton In this episode of The Check-In we tackle the culture of mindless consumption and mindless abuse that fuels fascism

Capitalism requires us to live reactive lives and behave sociopathically. This always leads to fascism.

On this episode of our weekly show The Check-In, @daniellemoodie.bsky.social and I discuss how healing and living intentionally is anti fascist.

YouTube video by Gaydar Zohran Mamdani Tests Anania's Gaydar | Gaydar Episode 11

At a time when many Democrats are avoiding even mentioning trans people, Mamdani went on Anania's Gaydar that is hosted by a Black trans woman. This is absolutely amazing and hilarious.

NASA is being told to cancel 19 *active* missions to save $6B, which looks to be less than the ICE *hiring/retention* budget going forward.

I need people to let that sentence sink into their bones for a minute.

We Can Have Better: The Check-In with Danielle Moodie and Jared Yates Sexton The Mamdani victory is a moment of joy and a roadmap to the future

Today my friend @daniellemoodie.bsky.social and I went over the astonishing Mamdani victory, the need to cultivate joy and hope in the fight against authoritarianism, and that we can have a better world if we stop accepting scraps from the powerful.

It isn’t hard. Life in the US has been made unbearably precarious and cruel by the wealth class and the rank and file Democrats are beholden to them.

People want leaders who are more concerned with helping them than staying in the wealthy’s good graces and none of the transparent slander matters.

Hi! Yes I’d absolutely still be interested in one of these!

There are no distractions. It's all bad. Systematically stripping trans people of their rights, guys in balaclavas shoving any brown person with a tattoo into a ummarked vans, ending healthcare for millions. It's all in service of fascism and technofeudalism. It's all one thing. That's the point.
