"Think of it. Forty-five hundred years ago, if you were a Sumerian scribe, while your calculations on the world's first abacus might have been laborious, you could be assured they'd be correct. Four hundred years ago, if you were palling around with William Oughtred, his new slide rule may have been a bit intimidating at first, but you could know its output was correct. In the 1980s, you could have bought the cheapest, shittiest Casio-knockoff calculator you could find, and used it exclusively, for every day of the rest of your life, and never once would it give anything but a correct answer. You could use it today!

But now we have Microsoft apparently determining that "unpredictability" was something that some number of its customers wanted in their calculators."

Lately I've been getting email from some new activist org called "The Kids Table" which seems very concerned about graffiti and such in Seattle, but mostly from the lens of "some people spray painted pro-palestine stuff". Suspecting another right wing group that will pretend to be anti-hate progressives but in reality be using racism to further right wing policies.

The people running it are apparently -

Alexa Halling
Aviad Benzikry

"Several antifascists in Augsburg, Germany can answer that question posed by The Clash years ago. You see, after antifa in that city were successful in confronting fascist “identitarian” leader Martin Sellner and his stooges and running them out, police decided this was a “crime.” The cops, excited about getting to cosplay the military, launched a series of pre-dawn raids on the homes of antifascists around the city, smashing in doors and completely trashing the homes they raided. This was all done in support of charges of ” aggravated breach of the peace.”

The United States has become an authoritarian country akin to Chile, where (US-backed) dictatorship and democracy have alternated without significant differences.

Accordingly, as students return to school, we can look to the Chilean student movement for inspiration.

Sun’s legal threats mirror the strategy of his new business partner and ally, President Trump. Sun has spent approximately $213 million on Trump-related businesses, earning an advisory position at Trump’s World Liberty Financial.

Sun’s business and legal future in America brightened after the payments began, with the February pause of an ongoing SEC lawsuit against him and his companies alleging unregistered securities sales and fraud. He no longer seems concerned about a criminal investigation.

Now you're escalating it with a blog post promoting Kiwi Farms harassment material. Henry Fisher is directly responsible for his community engaging in an extreme level of harassment escalating to the point of trying to kill Daniel Micay through swatting attacks. Louis Rossmann publicly supported this harassment and then tried to amplify it with his own fabrications.

Your involvement in this harassment is despicable.

People with disabilities are not a prop to be used to mount a defense of the fucked up bizarro world that we brought about through unbridled capitalism.

Too often I see people with disabilities used as a prop to defend everything from car-centric cities to generative "AI."

It's rooted in what folks think disabled people can't do, and reliably falls apart when one ditches the medical model of disability and embraces the social model.

THINK BIGGER.

We have witnessed the mass arrests of peaceful protesters against genocide in Gaza throughout the UK. Many of them pensioners arrested for holding signs that did not advocate violence or harm to anyone.

On Saturday at a protest by far right extremists outside a hotel housing asylum seekers in Falkirk. A group held this sign . A police officer was standing directly in front of them. Why were they not arrested there and then?

It is a crime to incite violence.

We're slowly seeing what leftists always warned about in the UK: all these laws against 'terrorism' are now expanding the definition to be used against every day citizens, from authors being arrested for donating money to activist organizations or hundreds being arrested for protesting a genocide.

It's never just a word, never just a law, and it'll never just affect everyone but you.

Spreadshirt has new terms and conditions! They're going to let customers fiddle with your designs in AI. Unless you opt out.

Here's what the loved one received about this. Rose has deleted all designs, closed account and said they'll sue if Spreadshirt ever touch their stuff.

The link in the email goes to this Design Price Overview which sets out the new pay rates https://help.spreadshirt.com/hc/en-gb/articles/21791323474332-Design-price-overview

Rose's work is now all on Redbubble. Buy stuff! https://www.redbubble.com/people/arkadyrose/shop

Redbubble haven't tried this fuckery yet. I just wrote to enquire.

Creators putting up AI-tweaked or generated stuff themselves is one thing. Unilaterally declaring new prices and also we're going to have anyone manipulate your artwork is quite another.

Please do feel free to spread this far and wide.

“Yesterday, New Zealand Police revealed they didn't start investigating the espionage soldier until after March 15. Several anti-fascist researchers reported his online activity to the New Zealand Defence Force prior to the Christchurch massacre…

We did this because we were concerned that the soldier, as an armourer in the NZ army, had access to large amounts of weapons he could use in a copycat "accelerationist" mass murder similar to the Pittsburgh synagogue shooting…

We are deeply concerned about the other accelerationist neo-Nazis in the NZ Defence Force and the lack of political will to remove them. We know of at least four Action Zealandia members who have served or are currently serving in the defence forces.”

To anyone who is confused about the use of the term "wishing ill" on anyone, most notably JKR, there is absolutely nothing wrong with wishing ill on willful oppressors, especially powerful ones.

The world would be a significantly better place if a meteor struck and killed JKR today. The same goes for Elon Musk, Peter Thiel, Donald Trump, RFK, the Tate brothers, etc etc. Feel free to add names to this list.

This is just a statement about the damage they have done to the world.

I am slowly coming around to the idea that continuous passive resistance and legal peaceful protest isn't actually worth much at all.

Radicalization is a direct response to continuously deteriorating circumstances and the clock running out. Most acts of terrorism are born out of hopelessness and these actions and the constant eroding of hope is how fascists obtain their police state.

Hi friends!
Having set up my own instance in 2024, I've decided to move to it completely instead of splitting my time across 2 accounts. This should be finalised tomorrow, August 19th 2025.

My new permanent home is @mo@icelandphotos.co.uk and I hope you'll follow me there.

To tempt you to boost this toot for me, here's a very special photo for you, probably the best I've ever taken.

The brownshirts are relying on your civility and your desperation.

The question is going to be: if heavily armed strangers —who refuse to identify not only themselves but even their agencies— arrive in your neighborhood and assault people while kidnapping them and meanwhile endangering not only themselves but others?

AND, AGAIN, ALL WHILE REFUSING TO IDENTIFY THEMSELVES OR EVEN THEIR AGENCIES

Will you, as a neighbor, a human, stand by and watch this DEFINITELY illegal, probably fascist, potentially murderous abduction take place without intervening? Remember: there is a 50/50 chance these guys aren't even officials of any kind, and if you can't identify them, you may as well assume they aren't.

The stakes are high. They have ensured that to be true, because they have the bigger gang with the better guns. Predators don't pick risky fights, because it's easier to go hungry for an afternoon than to risk a lunch that might stand a chance to kill you for violating its rights, and, if you know herd mentality, generally speaking, we members of the herd would rather let the killers eat a stranger from the outskirts than risk a maiming, killing, or imprisonment —especially not just to make a statement on our own behalf that many of us would not only refuse to appreciate but would in fact, decry. For the sheer love of the taste of the fresh-polished boot.

Ah, the boot. What an aroma! Smooth or suede, you can't argue with the taste, texture, or whiff of that uniform boot. "I know this boot!" you think, like prey to the anglerfish. "The light shines on its surface and I am drawn to the structure."

The anglerfish may not eat you TODAY, but you are its prey and always will be. The difference between us and the fish is that up here, we are ALL fish. Fish with hands and voices. We form our own schools. We can stand up, we can unify, we can resist.

They play a dangerous game by going dark while they abduct us, because we have always been anonymous.

ACCOMPLISHMENT UNLOCKED!

I'm proud to report that my Blue26.org fundraising project has officially raised over $250,000 directly for Democratic candidates & party committees so far!

That's more than 3x as much as I had raised at the same point in 2021 and 2.7x as much as I had raised in 2023!

LLMs exist to crush labour. That's not even my surmise, the people paying billions of dollars to fund this stuff are extremely open and explicit that this is their goal.

There are no ethical use cases for LLMs at this point in time. Maybe when the bubble has popped thoroughly. Not before.

While I'm generally very pro-EU, this #ChatControl initiative they keep pushing - despite experts persistently debunking the rationale behind it - is indefensible.

Instead, this initiative will create an extremely invasive surveillance state where everything you type, view and receive is automatically scanned & potentially (falsely) flagged for human review.

This would mean the end of privacy.

If you are an EU-citizen, please consider writing to your MEPs.

I will point out again that this is a records request about GUN VIOLENCE, the thing SPD and the mayor and council are always calling a top concern. I have eight other records requests stuck in limbo, with no one working on them, and stopped filing records requests this year because it's pointless.

SPD has effectively figured out a way to keep records secret from the public: First, refuse to give simple information like police reports to certain members of the media, telling them "do a PDR." Then, refuse to work on more than one request at a time, and take forever to respond.

By the time I've gotten the original police report, answer to a yes/no question, 911 recording, or whatever, it will be years out of date, no longer relevant, and basically useless. This is not good governance, and it certainly isn't accountability.

In this post, you've linked two videos with Kiwi Farms style harassment material targeting Daniel Micay. Both consist nearly entirely of fabrications and misrepresentations. Both clearly exist to target Daniel Micay with bullying and harassment including baselessly portraying him as being insane.
