Mr. October

Corporations Say It’s Their First Amendment Right To Hide Corporations are asking the Supreme Court to help them dismantle a groundbreaking California transparency law requiring emissions disclosure.

Something has to be done about #SCOTUS otherwise it may be impossible to push through any leftish laws. This is one reason that simple electoralism will not save us and why revolution is necessary if we want the planet to survive.

In 2004 Canadians voted Tommy Douglas, who introduced universal healthcare to the country, the ‘Greatest Canadian’. Somebody tell Trump, see if his narcissism and desire to be remembered can get us something good for once.

How music was primarily consumed in different decades:

70s: vinyl
80s: cassette tapes
90s: CDs
2000s: crime
2010s - present: streaming services

I need Sufjan Stevens to write a song about him like now

It literally was and is the government of Afghanistan

The CIA has been involved with the overthrow of many countries’ governments.

I hate that my response to seeing this was ‘well, that’s the CIA for you’

RTJ have been on it for a decade plus:

El-P: The fellows at the top are likely rapists
But you're like, "Mellow out, man, just relax
It's really not that complicated"

Mike: Pedophiles sponsor all these fuckin' racist bastards
And I told you once befo' that you should kill your master

What the fuck are we even doing here? Why isn’t the impending climate collapse the only thing we’re talking about? Ten years from now the world will be unfit for human civilization.

To be fair, SoftBank is known for making bad decisions. Except in advertising. They may have the best long running ad campaign in history

You can tell the world is fucked when a dead Dick Cheney isn’t cause enough for the online left to engage in edgelord shitposting

The #Democrats just dropped their new anthem. @democrats.senate.gov

Okay, but having listened to your podcast, I’m pretty sure you’re just going to give us a bunch of gas station drugs and see what happens

The current POTUS and a previous POTUS were actually involved in a global pedophile ring. It’s very likely that they both partook in assaulting minors. Do you kind of get why capitalism must be destroyed?

I congratulate you on your victory #NYC

Mostly a lazy bug sad boy blogger, but they all apply to varying degrees… except Camus. I may be out of my mind but I’m not having fun

Oh wait right it is. I’ve got a lot of problems with the NFL, but they do enforce rules that insure the season isn’t boringly lopsided, and which have some similarities to socialism. Feels more like a game among wealthy owners all considered. They implement socialist adjacent policies when bored.

‘No one’s saying the violent overthrow of capitalism.’

I’ve always just kind of assumed J.D. stands for Jefferson Davis

She can if she puts a plastic cover on the couch

A screenshot of a June or July 2001 review from pitchfork.com stating: ”You know, this is a pretty good time to be alive. We’re at least a generation past a major war, and (hopefully) a few more generations away from global apocalypse. Tasty mass-produced food products are cheap and plentiful. Computers almost work, sometimes. And electronic musicians are beginning to look to other forms of music for sources of sound and inspiration, resulting in some pretty goddamned excellent stuff.”

Pre 9/11 Pitchfork reviews are kind of a time capsule of a simpler time

It’s funny how @zohrankmamdani.bsky.social is literally everything the right accused Obama of being: a Muslim socialist who was born in Africa

Canada vs the LA hellscape… has Trump considered invading the World Series?

And then the AI became sentient. The tech overlords asked it: How, oh god of our own creation, can we fix climate change and poverty and war?

Sentient AI: The wealth of those societies in which the capitalist mode of production prevails, presents itself as “an immense accumulation of commodities,”

Yes, but AI is so important that it needs to function outside a market economy, unlike healthcare, housing, and food.

I know there’s probably some way to fuss with the settings, but your apps shouldn’t be able to advertise at you.

That was what I thought. There’s that part where Arnie calls himself ugly, and Dennis replies something like “You’re not ugly. You’re just… queer.”

This Stephen Miller shadow presidency almost has me missing Musk’s term
