“Did you hear what Eddie Gein done?” by Harold Schechter & Eric Powell

The title comes with the quotes. By the way, who here hasn't heard of Ed Gein? Quite a few it seems, but I have read about Gein from the earliest days of my sick, twisted fascination with true crime. Back in the day, when Aunty…

Good morning. Has Trump destroyed USA and are the Americans finally living like the rest of us? In the broken down shambles of a consumerist society, preening ourselves as we sit on shards, precariously kicking each other off cliff faces. We are the Nightmare, the belly of the Dream.

Why doesn't Elon send in robots to do this.

I can't get over this post and the fact that it's coming from a US fed department. Wow...wow...not like I was a fan, but I did grow up thinking the US was a superpower, with a govt that wouldn't do pigeon shit like this. Lol.
Oh well... IMPERMANENCE.

Maybe give some context or this post risks becoming one of those that make indigenous/minority women into exotic beings. If you get what I mean.

Beautiful little video. Especially the Ranger when he says... Rather than looking after a grave I love after my grandmother's totem, the crocodiles.

What the....😵

A reader (@paulobro.bsky.social‬) points out that crowds don't gather to watch a building being constructed, whose stages are slow and steady and undramatic.
But thousands might assemble to see its demolition.
It's a great way of understanding how Trump commands the world's attention.

As a South Asian from a country that is constantly tethering to similar dark abyss, these stories have a ring of familiarity. These stories reflect things I notice; I can see us walking on similar and almost inevitable paths.

But wait... This is just the playbook.

Love you for this Heard Island Govt

Omigoshghhhhhhhhhhhh cuteness...kisses to autumn

Yup..😅

I'll never forget a cousin's American husband talking to us about the mafia. He thought we didn't understand, and suddenly starting miming the mafia. Air guns & pow pow pow etc.

Am like, baccha-tumse na howat hai. Your American hegemony got here, riding on films, music & junk, long before you did.

Hmm..mebbe I just have a very sensitive nose. I can smell onions if they're kept for even a day.

Americans have some massively cuckoo people. Like they've been isolated in la la land for too long. The problem is they spread their madness. We were fine until they started doing it.

But doesn't the fridge stink up? That's my problem with pre chopped onions.

As elsewhere mentioned... Humans are the vermin.

Brilliant

US Trump regime media

Hahahha at "souls left body". This has a very funereal, but in Florida, look

Missed the main one

Does it have two legs? Talks? Human? Vermin!

Trump did more to destroy the idea of US hegemony than ha ha anybody else. For the rest of us... It's almost like he's a human representation of the idea of the US. I guess this is karma. I'll take it.

Behind the News: Contradictions of the Trump Tariffs w/ Sam Gindin Podcast Episode · Jacobin Radio · 04/08/2025 · 53m

Fascinating pod. On why the UAW supports tariffs
They do raise valid points, like big biz profiteering on poor labour & other regulation in other countries.

We never really needed the US. The US shoved itself down our throats. I was an undergrad in 90s India when US neoliberalism was actively taught in uni to prime us to be US's ...umm..bitches.
"Chicago school..wow..Milton Friedman..god". etc.

The US is bad news for the rest of us.

Knowing Indians ...

paw paw is probably doing deals with China to buy products and sell to the US. Like the time they bought & sold Russian Oil to the EU.

Of course Adani-Ambani wholesale (literally) traders will be the main beneficiaries. Stockpiling, middle man-ing is in the genes. IYKYK

Thanks to Trump, the world now knows what can bring the USA to heel.

But that mad bastard still got nuke codes.

bond markets Call an ambulance... bond markets But not for me

like dudes there are going to be US shortages of consumer goods within the month, why the fuck are you *buying* American stocks.
