Nine months ago, the United States "completely and totally obliterated" Iran's nuclear program.

Tonight, we're attacking Iran to disrupt their nuclear program.

A sizable percentage of this country thinks that's normal.

I think about this Tony Benn speech much more than I used to

Notes on Meta-Autism: The Commodified Performance of #actuallyautistic The curated capitalist frame cynically contains and consumes us all.

GS Farmer on the Revol Press substack: ’The curated capitalist frame cynically consumes us all.’ Even (perhaps especially) the neurodiverse.

Farmer's book Writing Autism will be out in late 2026/early 2027.

Sam Altman defends AI’s energy toll by saying it also takes a lot to ‘train a human’ OpenAI CEO also downplayed concerns about how much water datacenters require at AI summit in India

Yeah, but even if so, doh... you would have actually trained a human at least:

ps is the problem actually that these AI tech bros aren't 'real'?

Here are my reflections on and inspired by the Film 'We are Making a Film About Mark Fisher' on the Everyday Analysis website.

The film is currently screening across the UK and Italy:

A dialogue between Mark Fisher and Revol Press's Mike Watson on the role of art in confronting the worst excesses of global capital:

With Starmer likely to go over the Epstein Files, it seems the cull will be widespread. Meanwhile, Trump remains unaffected. Has echoes of Berlusconi.

On Revol Press substack a republished 2010 dialogue with Mark Fisher:

'If generalized insecurity produces conservatism in culture, as I believe it does, then the question is: what forms of stability... might allow culture to become adventurous again?'

The Line Between Politics and Pro Wrestling Has Disappeared The president has mastered the politics of “kayfabe,” where every conflict is a highly profitable spectacle.

Great text by Jason Myles:

'The challenge of the coming years is not simply defeating Trump at the ballot box, but starving the spectacle itself.'

Melania’s documentary has been pulled from all theaters in South Africa following the Minnesota deaths and targeting immigrants and Trump’s negative remarks. The film has also seen many empty seats across the U.S.

Even if she weren't married to the most widely hated person on earth, I really don't get who this Melania documentary was supposed to be for. She's the latest in a line of vacant trophy wives whose entire job is squinting. What kind of story is there to even tell?

A Fascist Haunting: Trump and the Enduring Relevance of the Twilight Zone’s “He’s Alive” In a 1963 episode written by Rod Serling and starring Dennis Hopper, the ghost of Hitler returns to haunt America.

A new text on the Revol Press substack.

'In the 1963 episode of The Twilight Zone, “He’s Alive”... offers some disturbing parallels between 1930s Germany and the incipient fascism of Trump’s America...'

More of this.

there been a bunch of fascism articles recently whose argument goes:

1. the annoying alarmist dipshits said a bunch of stupid stuff

2. yet somehow, what they predicted ended up happening

3. waffle around vaguely for a bit, without ever reconciling 1 & 2

Yes, It’s Fascism Until recently, I thought it a term best avoided. But now, the resemblances are too many and too strong to deny.

“Recent events have brought Trump’s governing style into sharper focus. Fascist best describes it, and reluctance to use the term has now become perverse.”

You can’t “we need our guns” your way to perpetuating school shootings while “he had a gun” your way to justifying public executions.

A nurse.

Someone who’s actually saved lives.

NYT push alert: "A person was shot dead today during a struggle with federal agents in Minneapolis, according to officials."

By who? Who shot the person dead? You saw the video. We all know a federal agent shot a man dead who was prone on the ground. Also, it's not "according to officials." It's according to verified video seen with your eyes. Not saying what anyone can obviously see with their eyes is a form of lying.

Wow -- Fanone coughs "go fuck yourself" to Trey Nehls as Nehls blames Capitol Police leadership for January 6

Join the Green Party (the new political broadcast below).

I joined two weeks back (left Labour when they expelled Corbyn and Loach...).

The Greens do seem the most viable DemSoc alternative in the UK.

ps yeah I know 'the limits of electoralism, etc'... but this is 5 quid a month... 🙂
