Me about to piss off a bunch of capitalists: If Bezos doesn’t want to pay his fair share in corporate taxes, I don’t see why we shouldn’t nationalise Amazon and make it a subsidiary of the post office.

I was at the protest today: SPPD was on site when I got there, but their numbers continued to swell. The crowd was loud af but not at all violent- nor were they impeding agents "doing their jobs" or residents. SPPD was in good spirits- many were smiling and laughing. The protesters were told to +

The related video Becca posted of local residents in Saint Paul, Minnesota battling ICE bullies is both disturbing and uplifting. Watch with caution. But how much do I want this to be an image of the coming revolution?

I was in Glasgow for 20 hours and the one thing I did that wasn't work-related was visiting the extraordinary Sharmanka Kinetic Theater, thanks to a tip from @regretteruane.bsky.social. What an amazing place! So glad I got to experience that!

Saw this kettle of black vultures from my hotel room in Miami.

File this under “Even more benefits of living in/near a major urban area.”

For NFL fans, it’s particularly awesome: If your local team is on Prime video or ESPN and you don’t want to pay for those subs, you can still watch the game because every game must be broadcast OTA in the home market.

The edges soften. The masks slip. And you start to see the actual geometry of the interaction — where power sits, where insecurity leaks, where the tone changes, where the truth speaks by accident. The viral clip makes it look like a moment. The full meeting reveals a dynamic.
