Attached: 1 image On this day in 1999, Swedish syndicalist Björn Söderberg was murdered by nazis outside his home in Stockholm. He had raised the alarm that a nazi was infiltrating a union at his workplace, and was killed as retaliation. Every year since, he is remembered for his courage, and acts as an inspiration in the fight against fascism. Rest in power Björn.

The gluten-free stuff at the supermarket looked mummified, so I made gnocchi from scratch instead. Turned out much bettter than I expected, for less money. I’m never going back. - russet potatoes, baked and cooled - random mix of cassava, rice and chickpea flour because that’s what I had around […]

On the left we have a long history of modifying our speech to be more sensitive and inclusive, and people on the right hate it because they feel like we are just trying to control them. Well, now we see what it means when someone on the right does it: it is literally only about dominating the […]

Dawn, Sunday morning. I would like to linger in this twilight for a few days. Although I don’t like that twilight can mean either, the period where the sun is just below the horizon, be it at dawn or dusk, or, the same period but at dusk only. It feels like we need to invent another word for […]

When the dems had only the executive branch I remember reading some take about how the gop was ok with that because that’s the branch that has to do the chores and take the blame. But of course, only if you don’t dream big. Now that maybe the dems will have only the legislative branch we will […]

To the woman's credit: she defied the court and shared the footage anyway, which shows a state trooper blowing away two trained police dogs as they trotted to him, in response to an active break-in where the dogs were detaining the burglar Cops are great
The News & Observer@newsobserver.com · 3d agoAn appeals court ruled this week the NC dog trainer may not share footage of a trooper fatally shooting her two trained police dogs during a 2024 car break-in on her property.

Really digging Sly and the Family Drone. Not sure what genre to invent for it. Black metal free jazz? But a little different than what you might be imagining from that.
Enjoying Szwed’s book about Harry Smith. He thought each frame of a film should be understood as a glyph: interesting to realize that Smyth was a structuralist. Which helps me understand structuralism as a kind of schizophrenia. Apophenia without the negative connotations.
The German and #germanamericanSurname STAUFFACHER has a presumably related variant name STARFACHER in Austria. One can speculate how the latter might have been transliterated on arrival in America.
MIT Media Lab’s Kevin Esvalt: “Russia's five-hospital quarantine, FSB involvement, and…hazmat use in response to the death of a single researcher at a weapons-lineage Irkutsk lab are inconsistent with a lab-acquired plague infection, which would have been treated with prophylactic antibiotics.

The Mormon cultural artifact of the “dirty soda“ is interesting because what’s dirty about it Is that milk has been added to it. Milk, the foodstuff of babes, which emanates from the bosom of holy motherhood. Roland Barthes’s eyebrows raise. Cleanliness is dirty. we should remember that the […]

The aftermath of the suicide-by-semi of the Haitian immigrant Pierre Damas Bel. Good insights into white psychology to be found here. Some truly bad people — not really bad as in evil, more like bad as in mentally and spiritually bankrupt — and some who are not completely blind to the world […]

I choose to believe that this fine establishment is named after my namesake Mozi 墨子.
Fielder’s schtick is: how far can I bend the social situation through sheer commitment to the bit? Which is exactly the same thing that propelled Holmes. Fortunately all he wanted out of it all was to have a show.
