"ANCIENTS of MU MU! (are you ready?)"
Avatar-sized budget and production but instead of about problematic space cats it’s about the Justified Ancients of Mu Mu.

They call it The Atlantic because of how much water it carries for fascism.
The Atlantic suggesting, without evidence, that Canada's Global TV broadcasting the '60 Minutes' segment on CECOT that CBS distributed to it may have been an act of "treachery."

Truly the most relatable Muppet in A Muppet Christmas Carol is the one who says ‘thank you for not shouting at me’ after being physically flung from a building.

to Bari (verb): To attempt to bury a damaging political story—only to amplify it massively by drawing attention to the act of censorship itself.

Example:

“They tried to Bari the segment, but it got Streisanded and everyone watched it twice.”

I don’t mean to sound extreme, but I don’t think we should have torture camps for people with criminal records either.

I’m reminded of watching two old ladies ask a teenage goth for directions and she politely told them and when she was out of earshot one lady said “You know where you are with a goth”
Things are Terrible, but this isn't.

Just completed final watch through of the finished ROGUE TROOPER film…
25 years of pestering @2000ad.bsky.social to let me give it a shot, 3 years of production to make the thing & now… it’s DONE!

Can’t wait for you to see it.
So, so proud of our team.
We’ve made something a bit special.
❤️

Matthew Goodwin objects to prosecuting this: ‘I think it’s time for the British to gang together, hit the streets and start the slaughter. Violence and murder is the only way now. Start off burning every migrant hotel then head off to MPs’ houses and Parliament, we need to take over by FORCE.’

Have noticed people IRL being casually anti-Semitic of late in a way I don't ever remember before - dropping things like "oh, shur they control the media, I saw it on Facebook" etc, largely via right-wing propaganda. Wherever it comes from or whatever the reason, it's real and it's so, so dangerous.

this is so sad … Asad was such an incisive thinker & wonderful human being. he joined us for the 2021 Summer School in Critical Theory on solidarity & our discussions on Stuart Hall still echo in my mind. a video of the public panel with him is here:

I understand that a lot of folks have been misled by fear-mongering and powerful regressive voices but it’s still astonishing to me that so many have fallen for the idea that oppressively policing other people’s gender identity and expression could in any way be part of an enlightened future.

Chomsky is opposed to antifa, has regularly denied atrocities (according to his inverted Kissingeresque "enemy of my enemy" geopolitics), defended the Holcaust denier Faurisson, etc.

Chomsky's geopolitics verge on red-brown (pseudo anti-imperialism), as do Bannon's.
Well, there's a photo I never expected to see in my life. Noam Chomsky palling around with Steve Bannon.
