I think that right on

That’s fair. “Smash the machines” doesn’t provide nuance that’s productive for most convos re: tech. But since I grew up in punk & anarchist circles while studying w/ tech historians, I also tend to forget that most folks don’t have the same exposure to radical critiques that imagine another world.

Another Mideast War The Compliant Western Alliance

It’s a futile strategy. The US-Israeli attack on Iran is illegal, immoral, and stupid. Sowing chaos, as we’ve seen in Libya, Iraq, Syria, and Afghanistan, does not lead to stable partnerships but violence and insecurity. Mitchell Plitnick, for The Battleground.

Sounds about right

Trump doesn't have a plan for this other than swinging his dick around. Hegseth's plan is to kill as many Muslims as he can because he's a neocrusading monster. Huckabee's plan is to end the world for Jesus. There are plans, they're just not military plans, war plans, strategic or tactical plans.

A Jewish communal organization that really cared about fighting antisemitism would look at Zohran Mamdani and say, "He's much better at distinguishing between Jews and the state of Israel than many other critics of Israel." Instead, the ADL and AJC acted like he was the next coming of Karl Lueger.

Iran cannot "close" the Straight of Hormuz. It's not a canal. It doesn't have a gate. What Iran can do is make it so dangerous that insurers won't cover ships or make it so expensive that they won't risk it. But nothing stopping a ship from making a run. It ain't closed. 12:17 PM • 3/2/26 • 31K

It’s like…. how do you close an air space dog? like it’s fucking… its air bro

Would be nice. Neat, even.

Images of an old silver 1999 Toyota Corolla for sale

You want a car that gets the job done? You want a car that's hassle free? You want a car that literally no one will ever compliment you on? Well look no further. The 1999 Toyota Corolla. Let's talk about features. Bluetooth: nope Sunroof: nope Fancy wheels: nope Rear view camera: nope...but it's got a transparent rear window and you have a fucking neck that can turn. Let me tell you a story. One day my Corolla started making a strange sound. I didn't give a shit and ignored it. It went away. The End. You could take the engine out of this car, drop it off the Golden Gate Bridge, fish it out of the water a thousand years later, put it in the trunk of the car, fill the gas tank up with Nutella, turn the key, and this puppy would fucking start right up. This car will outlive you, it will outlive your children. Things this car is old enough to do: Vote: yes

Consent to sex: yes Rent a car: it IS a car This car's got history. It's seen some shit. People have done straight things in this car. People have done gay things in this car. It's not going to judge you like a fucking Volkswagen would. Interesting facts: This car's exterior color is gray, but it's interior color is grey. In the owner's manual, oil is listed as "optional." When this car was unveiled at the 1998 Detroit Auto Show, it caused all 2,000 attendees to spontaneously yawn. The resulting abrupt change in air pressure inside the building caused a partial collapse of the roof. Four people died. The event is chronicled in the documentary "Bored to Death: The Story of the 1999 Toyota Corolla You wanna know more? Great, I had my car fill out a Facebook survey. Favorite food: spaghetti Favorite tv show: Alf Favorite band: tie between Bush and the Gin Blossoms This car is as practical as a Roth IRA. It's as middle-of-the-

When I ran the CarFax for this car, I got back a single piece of paper that said, "It's a Corolla, It's fine." Let's face the facts, this car isn't going to win any beauty contests, but neither are you. Stop lying to yourself and stop lying to your wife. This isn't the car you want, it's the car you deserve: The fucking 1999 Toyota Corolla. Google map of cars location

Never forget: 8 years ago a random person on Craigslist wrote the most effective ad for the Toyota Corolla, ever.

Media Matters analyzed a year of NYT coverage of anti-trans bills and found that 66% of the time the paper didn't quote a trans person. Further, it found that the paper often quoted right wing sources without mentioning their histories of anti-trans rhetoric.
So "right-wing rag" is pretty accurate.

We are the grandchildren of the squirters that made it through.

Temco drivers unionize despite stiff opposition — a first for a Home Depot subsidiary “We did have management telling us that we were going to lose our jobs and would shut down.”

For the first time ever, workers at a Home Depot company have unionized.

Drivers who deliver building materials for Home Depot’s Temco subsidiary have voted to join the Teamsters.

They did so despite a vicious anti-union campaign from Home Depot and Temco.
