The people of the future are very different. They are made only of bones. Their shadows are of ash. They appear to like ruins and tiny fires.

Also: look at what's going on in Iran right now.

THAT is what has to happen if you let the religious authoritarians get bedded in and you wait too long.

If they don't get the Ayatollah's out this month, they'll hang thousands. And if they DO get them out, probably thousands will die in the process.

Waiting for Project 2025 and the white nationalist cops in ICE to politely pack up and go home is a non-option.

We noticed a rising interest regarding the use of AI in browsers. To be clear about our position on this: Zen currently is disabling all AI features included in Firefox and will continue to do so.

Oh i know jake is faking ignorance. His paycheck depends on it. At least until his capitalist masters are done extracting the last vestiges of value, then he'll be discarded along with the smoking cratered ruins of everything mozilla.

Jake, unless you have enough money invested to be considered capital, stop giving cover to the people destroying everything just to make number go up.

Schumer, Jeffries Refuse to Join Democrats' Growing Calls to Slash ICE Spending:

"Seder added that Schumer “has the ability to wage a fight to prevent the funding of DHS. He has the ability to do that and he doesn’t want it. He’s running away from any leverage he has, deliberately.”"

If this is where we are at the height of tensions, I have zero faith that democrats will do anything. https://www.commondreams.org/news/government-shutdown-january

So I was going through my photos doing a purge, came across this, and laughed so hard I started crying. Thus, I’m sharing.

Tumblr post: I read that capsaicin makes your mouth feel like it's burning because it increases your nerve sensitivity to heat, and menthol works by doing the same thing to cold So if I eat a habanero pepper and then chew a bunch of breath mints they'll each other out and I'll be fine Same user replying to themself later: Hey guess what hellfire tastes like Comment: Fun fact! The nerve endings for "ouch too hot" and "ouch too cold" are different! Which means that they can both be activated at once, without cancelling out. Rip OP.

Aaaah damn I need to write a cohesive text about why “Don't roll your own crypto” is a horrible statement and has done nothing but stolen two generations of *sorely needed* cryptographers away from us.

It's a statement akin to “Don't build your own bridges”! It's stupid and wrong and doesn't actually touch the core of the issue.

I'm not mad that some folks are having their ACAB awakening because of Renee Good.

If the murder of a nice queer white lady from Minneapolis is what convinces more people that ACAB because they are a boot of the state, great. Welcome, newbie.

But understand this: get up to speed *quickly.*

ICE/feds and cops are under the same problematic State Hammer umbrella. They have ALL been used against liberation movements and the people who live on the margins of hegemony.

And now, for this political moment, that hammer is going to begin coming down on white folks who decide to ally themselves with their neighbors vs the State.

So let's be clear:

Our struggle might be *shared* but they are not the *same.* Newbies need to learn that distinction.

Ok. Carry on.

This is what I'm talking about when I say we have a "non-descript oppressed identity problem"

Latin people are 99.9% of the victims of ICE and not mentioned once. In a list of victims.

Why can't we just say it?

Great post otherwise. Also, fuck ICE. This is terrible.

In Chicago, a Border Patrol agent rammed a woman's car, looked at her and said, "Do something, bitch." Then he shot her 5 times. In Minneapolis, an ICE agent shot a woman as she tried to drive away, firing three shots into her head. And after killing her... he said, "fucking bitch." They dehumanize women They dehumanize immigrants They dehumanize POC And they dehumanize the LGBTQ+ community To justify using violence. When violence is preceded or followed by dehumanization, it isn't an accident.

A barred owl looks over its shoulder at me. It sits on a heavy branch of a dawn redwood close to the tree’s trunk. The wet bark spans the height of the left side of the image. The owl’s eyes peer from the centers of its great twin concentric circles of alternating white and brown, a face made of ripples of feathers.
