Dear Brussels,

Even though you're a city of over 2MM people, you have the public infrastructure of a city of 500K. Your public transport is not accessibility-compliant, and your road works tangle the city in seeming infinite knots. On Wednesday, I will bid you good riddance, never to return again.

Siavash (@capgrasman.bsky.social) is an AMAZING producer; his ear is second-to-none. He supported me, challenged me—no one has taught me more about the practice of making sound than he has.

It's amazing how people can have such blind, unwavering faith in broken institutions that Nazis like Musk have shown that they don't respect and won't listen to.

How do you stop the richest man in the world from doing whatever he wants? 🤔

The key concept that Marxists need to communicate to liberals is that political and economic power cannot be separated. The idea that you can change the social and economic reality for the better by voting for someone is absurd when EVERYTHING is owned by oligarchs. We have owners, not rulers.

The choice is socialism, or barbarism. Fearing systemic change and holding onto the neoliberal order will only push us deeper into fascism. Liberals need to come to terms with the fact that their ideology has led us directly to Trump, and that there will be no future under capitalism.
Fascism Is Possible Not in Spite of Liberal Capitalism, but Because of It
The question of the labor movement under fascism is the question of what to do when it is already too late.

Yes.

But should we feel bad for it?
