i heard a blatantly illegal one in the car earlier, where they're selling some kind of "all natural ozempic" for people who can't afford it and ended with "call this number for your free bottle of ozempic today".

bringing back a classic

an adaptation of the sandy loam chart, aka, a triangle where each side is an axis from 0 100, forming triangular little pockets in the center in a pseudo-3-axis chart form. the three axes are "hoinky sploinky" "doinky woinky" and "rinky dinky," each with a "pure" form (penis music, furret walk, and ukelele covers respectively). there is a minor screed here about electroswing sucking, which it does.

An actual hot take: Too many authors are afraid of editors watering down their voice or whatever and not afraid enough of editors letting you put any old slop on the page.

A lot of cybersecurity people consider them to be a reputable source of threat intelligence, but more and more they've been posting conspiracy theories and unverified 2nd hand info. Making a post like this then coming back a day later with "oh btw I actually don't know what's going on" is crazy. 2/2

It's tempting to treat "the American right is a death cult" as rhetorical hyperbole, but when you look at e.g. their enthusiasm for executing people who are *clearly* innocent, no actually these people really do just worship and revel in death and murder

was it the first shooting at a rally? the first assassinated politician? J6? the first national guard deployments? which of the Trump assassination attempts? the first time trump called it war?

even modern wars *between* states are often not declared as wars at all, much less wars within them

This South Side Weekly report on the Chicago building raid is well worth reading. Most striking to me are the indications of collusion between federal authorities and the building owner and management to effect a mass eviction at the blighted property. southsideweekly.com/federal-agen...

to reason about capital crisis, i try to look at it obliquely: what isn’t happening, what observations can’t be integrated, what can’t be said, what processes fail to self-reproduce, when large scale doesn’t abstract small scale, how a single man’s ai video habit becomes the state’s intelligence etc
