can't fully answer this but many of the schools of Jewish activism minimized in the wake of zionism were deeply rooted in socialist principles

Shachtman's (excellent) piece on the ADL reminds me of @naomiaklein.bsky.social's writing in Doppelganger. Zionism has been used to flatten our imagination of a better world. It treats antisemitism as a natural law that can never be overcome, therefore requiring constant, violent repression.

You don't even have to change her name!!!!

Multiplayer Battlefield is defined by a guy jumping out of a jet, shooting another jet with a rocket, and then climbing back into the jet before it hits the ground. The ads know this!! They play into it!! But DON'T WORRY, they're definitely not gonna have a black lady rapper in there.

Personal opinion but nothing I've seen from Battlefield's current pr campaign -- bringing in big humvees, letting press cosplay with military costumes -- has been less cringe than having Nicki in your game. It's just cringe in a way Gamers are comfortable with.

I think I'm sitting at my desk and struggling to write something and then I just think "help I'm a bug"

Yes this one too

I can't explain why but I think about this specific Calvin and Hobbes about three times a week

First thing I did lmao

Bravia 8, good Costco deal

Close up holding a blu-ray up to screen, criterion closet discs are same size

Further shot, holding a blu-ray up to screen, criterion closet discs are same size

Got a new TV and I think it's the right size because the criterion closet is now 1:1 scale

As someone who just spent months of his life on Nuremberg...... That trailer sucked lmao

Honestly that the whole American neo-classical aesthetic was based on a misapprehension by looking at the faded of ruins of a fallen empire was maybe more on the nose than anybody could make up

When Square-Enix begins a trailer with a town called Philabieldia, you know the game is going to have a wild name...

The cover of Générique at the end of the Nuremberg video was performed by my friend Henry. He's now uploaded it to YouTube alongside a super jazzy funky version. Enjoy!

The scam is to conflate everything that computers do (or ever have done) with the current "AI" craze, so that the AI scam tech that nobody wants feels inevitable, rather than a tech bubble run by villains, that needs to crash immediately.

ICE Agents Invade a Manhattan Little League Field Youman Wilder has coached local kids for twenty-one years—including four who have gone pro. When masked agents tried to interrogate his players, he told them, “You don’t have more rights than they do....

When ICE agents questioned a group of 11- to 14-year-olds who’d just finished batting practice, their coach, Youman Wilder, stepped in. “I’m willing to die to make sure these kids can get home,” he recounted afterward.

Green screen weighed down with two large books: "Torture and Democracy" and "The Book of Exodus"

Needed to weigh down an (extremely rough) greenscreen with something and these were the two heaviest objects at hand

To be clear, works shouldn't need to meet some arbitrary standard of 'literary merit' or follow specific aesthetic conventions to exist. Genre fiction, pulp novels, underground comics, indie games, and yes, even erotica ought to have the right to explore upsetting themes. But note that -

- if payment processors' current policies had always existed, huge swaths of culture, from the prestigious to the pulpy, simply wouldn't exist. Today's disturbing indie work might be tomorrow's essential text. And even if it isn't, the freedom to create and access challenging content is valuable.
