The Curmudgeon

Don't mourn. Organize!

Just when you thought things couldn't get worse, Rush get back together. Ugh.

I played 11 hours of Ghost of Yotei and it's so crazy that this is @erikaishii.bsky.social, the same ball of gremlin energy I've been following around the internet since her Geek & Sundry days. She's killin it!

Man, I spend one day away from the internet and everyone is saying this site is collapsing. Can't take my eye off the horrors for one minute.

History History An accidental band of quiet noise, silver screen sounds, and left wing propaganda. Music to kill your landlord to. To Book: JasonMBombach@gmail.com

Joined everyone else in taking History History off Spotify. No one listens to it on Spotify but I still want to contribute to the shit show. So for now you can only listen on Bandcamp at historyhistory.bandcamp.com

Solidarity Forever!

I could easily see myself voting for someone who runs on abolishing ice and prosecuting every single one of them and the entire administration

Just play this on loop for like 5 fucking minutes so it gets ingrained in your head.

This is where I'll be the next two days. Come hang.

I need @edzitron.com to tell me what phone has the least AI integration. All these phones suck.

Email text: National Nurses United and UE call for end to military operations, blockade in Palestine Unions demand U.S. recognize Palestine’s sovereignty and demand that Israeli government end violence, starvation, and injustices on Palestinian people National Nurses United (NNU), the country’s largest union and professional association of registered nurses, and the United Electrical, Radio, and Machine Workers of America (UE) — together representing over a quarter million union members — sent a letter today to President Trump to demand that “the Israeli government permanently end its military operations and blockade in Palestine, and that the United States immediately recognize the sovereignty of Palestine.” “Our unions concur with the United Nations Independent International Commission of Inquiry on the Occupied Palestinian Territory, including East Jerusalem, and Israel, which found that Israel has committed genocide against Palestinians in the Gaza Strip,” stated the letter. “The United States must intervene immediately to put an end to the violence, starvation, and injustices being inflicted on the Palestinian people.

Email text continued: The attack by Hamas on October 7, 2023 was an atrocity. But Israel’s collective punishment of millions of Palestinians and destruction of Gaza over two years constitute a crime against humanity,” the letter continued. “More than 65,000 Palestinians have been killed, including nearly 20,000 children, while 1.9 million have been displaced and countless others have been severely injured and have lost their family members since October 2023. The death toll includes many of our union siblings, including hundreds of health care workers, media workers, engineers, and civil servants killed on the job.” The letter concluded with a demand for “urgent action to immediately halt military aid to Israel; secure a permanent and immediate ceasefire that ensures an end to the mass killing and starvation of innocent Palestinian civilians; ensure that the remaining hostages in Gaza and political prisoners in Israel are safely returned home; and recognize Palestinian sovereignty and restore the Palestinian people’s right to self-determination.”

NEWS: Major unions @nationalnurses.bsky.social and @ueunion.org are publicly demanding that the U.S. immediately halt military aid to Israel, recognize Palestinian sovereignty, and intervene “to put an end to the violence, starvation, and injustices being inflicted on the Palestinian people.”

My grandparents were going to take me out for breakfast today to celebrate my bday. It appears they forgot. That about sums up my family relationships on the whole.

In case you're interested in what we're cooking up.

This is how punks deal with Nazis because it works. The marketplace of ideas is closed bitch. But you can always catch these hands.

Kid Rock is a music legend in the same way Moth Man or the Chupacabra are legends. Something you show your kids to make sure they behave.

BREAKING: Union in Italy has announced a general strike on October 3, as per their promise if the Gaza flotilla was attacked, as it has been now.

This just shows you how dumb this ass stain think we are.

Thanks. It was yesterday, but with the midnighter schedule, I still haven't slept.

At the dentist again. Happy birthday to me, I guess.

Had an oddly quiet birthday.

Convention 2025 Wrap Up!

I spent my birthday editing this for you. The things I do for the working class. Anyway, new episode of the podcast! Enjoy!

You know, I've been going to shows at The Majestic/Magic Stick for 20 years and a lot has changed in that time. But I'm so glad I can still get a slice at Srgt. Pepperoni beforehand and pretend to be 20 again.

What I'm saying is, I'm bad at taking time off.

So far with my time off from my main job I wnet GY!BE, worked, gave a talk on organizing, saw Bread & Puppets, and worked. Then tonight I'm seeing @themountaingoats.bsky.social. Tomorrow is my bday and I work. Then the dentist, work, and this weekend tabling Freak Fest, BRAC meeting and more work.

But why the film grain?

Spain bans US military shipments bound for Israel from passing through its Rota and Morón bases, citing opposition to Israel’s actions in Gaza.

This applies to all US aircraft/ships carrying weapons or equipment for Israel, even via indirect routes.

I got tickets to see @themountaingoats.bsky.social as a bday gift. I wonder if he'll let me put out IWW zines at the merch table.
