We'll see if i ever use it, but I've just created an account on the fediverse (what a horrendous name): @counterapparatus@autonomous.zone

I’m (really) late to the game but somehow had no idea that zootopia starts with a bunch of copaganda with a Disneyfied cop city

Here's a 30-minute compilation of Hasan calling out anti-semitism and how criticism of Israel shouldn’t be conflated with Jewish people. Next time someone accuses him of being antisemitic based on 20 sec clips, you can just show this instead of trying to argue further.

Ah yes the teen vogue -> fergie chambers -> hezbollah pipeline

The TSA has never stopped a terrorist attack. It is rent-seeking security theater and should be abolished.

In the final years of South African Apartheid, the white government decided it must 1) overthrow the government of Angola 2) install a puppet regime in Namibia 3) attack Zimbabwe 4) attack Botswana 5) attack Zambia in order to survive. This did not work

Pe’sla, a sacred site in the Black Hills, translates to “the heart of all that is.” The site is central in Lakota creation stories. Last week, the Forest Service approved a permit for exploratory drilling for a graphite mine. ndncollective.org/usfs-rams-thro…

"Philosophy professor Idris Robinson has sued Texas State University officials, asserting that the school violated his constitutional rights by ending his contract after he gave a talk on the Israeli-Palestinian conflict off-campus in another state where a fight broke out, the Guardian has learned." theguardian.com/us-news/2026/m…

this is a good idea has anyone tried this

the roko's basilisk guys are so funny bc they correctly intuit that our lives will be controlled by a psychotic, amoral algorithm that hates humanity but they think some nerd in SF is going to build it on his macbook. it was already built, in 1602, by the Dutch

For the third time over the past two years, I'm teaching a course at UChicago on liberatory violence. I've uploaded the syllabus here. academia.edu/165291492/Libe…

Watch: Israeli police attacked Palestinians, gathering to pray outside Jerusalem’s old city, for the first day of Eid Al Fitr. Since the start of the war with Iran, Israel closed Al Aqsa compound and the other holy sites in the city

"I live in your head rent free" In my head housing is not a market commodity, but a guaranteed human right. In my head, I see a better world sorry.

Iran, a country where the most humble among us can recite 14th century poetry my heart.

Leaked video from inside ICE detention shows women trapped in desperate conditions—smuggled out by husband. Used panties, moldy food, broken shoes, clothes that don't fit because made for men—and a toxic mattress made of insulation. Gabriela Sousa came to U.S. legally granted humanitarian parole from Venezuela—and is married to U.S. citizen husband. Her husband helped the women smuggle out this video they made—with testimonials from several women detained together in these inhumane conditions The video was made secretly inside the Baker County ICE Detention Center in Macclenny, Florida.

Shout out to Clínica Condesa, the result of social struggles by movements including the anarchist sex worker org brigada callejera & defended fericiously by a broad swath of Mexico City’s autonomous and anti-electoral left

Your brain at 2 AM writing a paper you started at 10 PM is operating in a neurochemical state that most productivity systems spend thousands of dollars trying to replicate. Sleep deprivation suppresses your prefrontal cortex. That's the region responsible for self-criticism, second-guessing, and the voice that says "this paragraph isn't good enough." At 2 AM, that voice goes quiet. Not because you've achieved some zen state. Because the hardware running it is shutting down for the night and you won't let it. Meanwhile the deadline is dumping norepinephrine and cortisol into your system, which narrows your attention to a single point. Your brain physically cannot multitask in that state. No checking your phone. No opening a new tab. The stress response has commandeered every available resource and pointed it at the Google Doc. Lowered inhibition plus chemically forced single-task focus. That combination is almost identical to what Csikszentmihalyi documented across 30 years of flow state research. Clear goal, immediate feedback, challenge matched to skill. A 12-page paper due in 8 hours hits all three criteria by accident. The lo-fi beats matter more than people think. Repetitive audio at 60-70 BPM synchronizes with resting heart rate and suppresses novelty-seeking circuits. You stop hearing it within minutes. It becomes an auditory wall that blocks interruption without costing you any cognitive load. It's the cheapest sensory deprivation chamber ever built. And the black coffee at midnight is pharmacologically different from your morning cup. Your adenosine levels have been building all day, so the caffeine is fighting a much stronger sleep signal. The subjective experience of "wired but calm" at 1 AM is a different drug interaction than alert-at-9-AM. Same molecule, completely different neurochemical environment. Every semester, twice a semester, four years straight. That's 40 sessions of accidental deep work before anyone had a name for it. The grade was an A- because the conditions were perfect. Not despite the chaos. Because of it.

“The Black Alliance for Peace stands in solidarity with the Prairieland 9 following their convictions in federal court in Fort Worth, TX and condemn this ruling as lawfare against people’s movements. These verdicts must be understood as part of a broader escalation in the U.S. state’s war against the people and popular organization. The prosecution of the Prairieland Nine demonstrates how the architecture of the so-called War on Terror is increasingly being turned inward. By applying terrorism frameworks to a protest connected to the Prairieland ICE detention center, the federal government is advancing a precedent meant to criminalize political dissent and suppress movements challenging the violence of the U.S. national security state.” hoodcommunist.org/2026/03/19/the…
