The Real Threat to Free Speech in America is From the Right, Not the Left—Stop Pretending Otherwise

The road to fascism is paved with false equivalencies. For years we’ve been told that the censorious Left is a serious threat to free speech. If Simon & Schuster cancels one book because the pu…

“Secretary Kennedy is entitled to his views. But he is not entitled to put people’s health at risk. He has rejected science, misled the public and compromised the health of Americans.”

“Never before have we issued a joint public warning like this. But the profound, immediate and unprecedented threat that Kennedy’s policies and positions pose to the nation’s health cannot be ignored.”

Opinion | Six surgeons general: It’s our duty to warn the nation about RFK Jr.

We took an oath to declare dangers when we found them. We’re doing that again today.

“Nemo, which is to say Ne-Homo, which is to say Nullus, and everyone knows how influential nil truly is, everyone ought to say that nil is nothing, but nobody says it
because it’s clear to everyone, it wins wars and systematizes the national budget, it fills you up and revolutionizes human thought”

are swifties okay

patreegs on instagram says

You need to listen to it once completely through while driving a car alone. Then you have to
listen to it indoors lying down. THEN you pick a few and listen to them WHILE you read the lyrics on your computer. You WILL find that you misheard some of the lyrics. DONT panic. Its COMPLETELY normal and healthy. DONT think about taylors life yet and DONT try to make sense of the lyrics and DONT panic if you dont like some of the songs at first bc your brain will LEARN to like them (evolutionary mechanism).
THEN, continue listening on loop as needed but have 2-3 that you sometimes just listen to on repeat. THEN re-emerge into the world and connect with others about their response to the text. THEN apply practically to your life. THEN examine how they fit into taylors. At this point you can start to lightly engage in online discourse if that feels healthy and safe.

Here it is, the only Orcutt LP on Palilalia this year. Recorded at Cafe Oto, this one's a great memory for me — incredible night of solo sets by the quartet, drinking w friends and playing for an AMAZING audience. Very happy to share it w everybody now.

One of the consequences of right-wing people buying up different platforms to coddle reactionaries is that, at some point, these guys find out real quick that IRL most people hate them. Blue checks on Twitter won't keep people from beating your ass if you pull this edgelord shit in public.

Debord. _Comments…_

Formerly one only conspired against an established order. Today, conspiring in its favour is a new and flourishing profession. Under spectacular domination people conspire to maintain it, and to guarantee what it alone would call its well-being. This conspiracy is a part of its very functioning.
