The landmark report traces the history of “excited delirium,” its baseless scientific underpinnings and roots in anti-Black racism, and the profound harms caused by the continued use of the pseudoscientific phrase.

“Excited Delirium” – Often Cited as Cause of Death in Fatal Police Encounters – Is Scientifically Meaningless: PHR Report - PHR

A new investigation published today by Physicians for Human Rights (PHR) finds that “excited delirium” – often cited as a cause of death in fatal encounters with law enforcement – is not a valid medic...

Keep you doped with religion and sex and TV
And you think you're so clever and classless and free
But you're still fucking peasants as far as I can see
A working class hero is something to be

The Stones arrived punctually. They were impressed with my lighting setup, and this fantastic, beautiful room. I was already there, talking through a megaphone to the goats, dogs and all the other animals we had for the shoot, getting them to understand what it was all about.

Reach for the term “Kafkaesque,” which “tends to refer to the bureaucratic nature of capitalistic, judiciary, and government systems, the sort of complex, unclear processes in which no one individual ever has a comprehensive grasp on what is going on, and the system doesn’t really care.”

What Is Kafkaesque?: The Philosophy of Franz Kafka

It's difficult to imagine that there was ever a time without the word 'Kafkaesque.' Yet the term would have meant nothing at all to anyone alive at the same time as Franz Kafka — including, in all pro...
