This is so funny because the cops kneeling too was so clearly the propaganda effort to depoliticize the movement, but these morons don’t understand that most people do not share their stupid grievances

this week i learned that the anarchist scientist peter kropotkin was the guy who discovered how glaciers move and also wrote maybe the first treatise on the need to combat climate change

God fucking damnit I think the post where I predicted that Blumenthal would be in InfoWars in a year was from my twitter but I fucking called this shit and I want an apology on my desk tomorrow for every tankie dipshit who told me this guy was a socialist

Apropos of nothing, here's a thread of some Charlie Kirk highlights

"Every single person who has died during these cycles of actions and reprisals — around 140 people in large protests –– has been killed by the police." - @nanjala.bsky.social in @hammerandhope.bsky.social

Random/disjointed thoughts & notes re. yesterday's provincial legislature elections in Buenos Aires:

-No, the "left" did not win! "Fuerza Patria" is the newest iteration of the Peronist apparatus, a "mvmnt." which encompasses everything from moderate left (Patria Grande/Juan Grabois),

ECONOMY• MARKETS When Al's 'inevitable slowdown' comes it could tank S&P 500's valuation multiple by up to 20%, Goldman Sachs says

Valuations are high, but they are actually lower than they were in the dotcom boom of 2000, Goldman says. There is one danger looming, the bank notes, and that is the "inevitable slowdown" in capital expenditures by the "hyperscaler" Al companies, (Amazon, Alphabet, Amazon, Meta, Microsoft, and Oracle). Under what Goldman calls "an extreme scenario in which the hyperscalers cut capex back to 2022 levels," the "lost" revenues to Al companies would represent a 30% cut to Goldman's estimate of $1 trillion in total sales growth across the S&P 500 companies next year. In turn, "a reversion of long-term growth estimates back to early 2023 levels would imply 15%-20% downside to the current valuation multiple of the S&P 500."

The question then becomes, when does the slowdown in AI spending happen? "Analysts currently assume a sharp deceleration in 4Q 2025 and 2026," Goldman says. But expect that date to slip: Hyperscaler companies keep revising their capex guidance upward. The note also suggests that as well as a deceleration (after all, spending will have to plateau at some point) investors are going to want to see more meaningful results as time goes on. With regard to so-called Phase 3 companies, for example, those which will benefit from the ripple effect of the technology, the analysts write: "We expect the Al trade will eventually broaden out to some Phase 3 companies, but investors will likely require evidence of a tangible near-term impact on earnings ... Our equity analysts acknowledge that there has been limited value creation in enterprise software applications thus far."

Oh an inevitable slowdown coming for AI capital expenditures? And that happening would mess up the markets when it happened? Crazy idea. Oh it'll be really horrible? Because the AI trade will be obviously bullshit as there's no revenue? Damn. That's crazy

Trump DOJ is looking at ways to ban transgender Americans from owning guns, sources say | CNN Politics Senior Justice Department officials are weighing proposals to limit transgender people’s right to possess firearms, according to two officials familiar with the internal discussions.

Banning trans people from owning guns is a really REALLY significant escalation and I think the scariest part about it that's not being discussed at all is that the plan is to declare that trans people are mentally ill

What You Need To Know About Stephen Miller’s Connection To Richard Spencer, White Nationalism & Why It Matters On Tuesday, Michael Hayden on the Southern Poverty Law Center's Hatewatch blog, dropped a bombshell that exposed further connections between White House policy advisor, Stephen Miller, and white natio...

Stephen Miller pushed white nationalist conspiracy theories and publications that trafficked in claiming Black people were subhuman and the main cause of crime in "the West."

There have been more and bigger - by far - protests for Gaza in the UK than anti-immigration ones. And yet, if you relied on media coverage you’d reasonably conclude that the anti-immigration ones represent the ‘real’ majority in this country.

Racist riots and pogroms don’t happen in a vacuum.

Protests as newborn removed from Greenlandic mother after ‘parenting competence’ tests Danish authorities take one-hour-old infant despite law banning the tests on people with Greenlandic backgrounds

Let's be clear on terminology: Danish authorities kidnapped a Greenlandic infant.

They took the one-hour-old infant from the mother's arms. They told her she was 'not Greenlandic enough' and was not fit to be a mother because her own adoptive father abused her.

I read this piece several months ago and it's stuck with me for a long time since. Highly recommend.

Simply knowing about "jury nullification" is not enough. Prosecutors and judges will try to weed you out. Often you will be questioned or made to swear an oath.

It's not enough to tell people about jury nullification, you need to convey how to do so effectively. How to be prepared! 🧵

So close, and yet so far

This is basically the story of modern anarchist politics

If you take nonviolent direct action, Labour will brand you a terrorist.

If you riot, and try to burn buildings down, Labour will listen to your legitimate concerns.

Destroy every f*cking fascist. Whatever it takes. History proved us right before. No quarter for these utterly contemptible sh*tweasles.

Fact-checking my book I found the following story
