Welp, now that I’ve spent the weekend revisiting #AdamCurtis’s oeuvre I guess there’s nothing left to do but go back and reread #Marcuse, especially the early writings. Can’t say we weren’t warned.

Shouting to the abyss that an episode of #AdamCurtis’s 2007 #BBC documentary, “The Trap: What Happened to Our Dream of Freedom,” called “We Will Force You To Be Free,” is about #FrantzFanon and how we’ve been conditioned to reject attempts at what #IsaiahBerlin called “Positive Freedom.” Very relevant. Again. Say what you will but Curtis’s documentaries hold up.

I won’t post a link but one can easily find it at that site I’m not posting the link to.

As someone who inherited the face of a (fascist) refugee who maybe (probably) deserved it, the concept of epigenetic memory both fascinates and terrifies me in a myriad of ways.

I don’t give a shit about #Biden but I DO give a shit about #GermanShepherdDogs so I want to point out that bringing an adolescent GSD into a chaotic environment w/an owner who wasn’t even remotely up to the task of bonding with it was extremely irresponsible and in no way a reflection of #Commander.

However, it is an incredibly accurate reflection of the #BidenAdministration and their commitment to poorly thought out optics that reveal their lack of competence and complete indifference to the PR fall out.

It’s long past time to give this #landBack to those we stole it from and apologize profusely for the unquantifiable harm caused by our awful and exploitative stewardship. With every new and acceleration crisis it’s becoming increasingly obvious that the only thing that can really save the world is the complete dismantling of #whitesupremacy and all of the power structures created to protect and reinforce it.

While #ElonMusk and #MarkZuckerberg are having their pathetic little mid-life-crisis dick measuring contest, the TRUE father of social media, #MySpaceTom, is posting IG stories of his dog set to “You’ve Got A Friend in Me” and I am SO here for it.

I will never stop being bitter about the academic authoritarianism that says taking slightly too much time to fully synthesize and react to the entire set of readings makes one a worse grad student than someone who responded in a timely manner but did so off the top of their head and didn’t even mention said readings. Ugh. SO many authoritarians cosplaying as radicals.

A stranger telling me I “don’t need the mask” is a sure fire way to ensure that I absolutely won’t be taking it off in their presence. Partly because I’m an anti-conformist who gets off on saying no but mainly because #CovidIsNotOver.

Asshole.
