This is not just about #NetNeutrality. The Internet should be outside both state and private control, it is not just a common good, but a human right. In the 21st Century, there is no democracy without a free Internet. https://t.co/EOWw5F2KIW

If your anarchism is trans exclusionary, it's bullshit.

"Alexa… are you connected to the CIA?"
"Alexa… you are lying to me." – Alex Jones' hard hitting back and forth interview with an Amazon Echo.

This Is The Daily Stormer’s Playbook – “A leaked style guide reveals theyâre Nazis about grammar (and about Jews).” This is mind boggling.
#watch,
La Brigada Feminista – “When Mexico was devastated by an earthquake, La Brigada Feminista was there to help, whether men wanted them to or not.” The mural was shown much too briefly. But how fantastic is this?!
BLACK THOUGHT FREESTYLES ON FLEX | #FREESTYLE087 – Check minute 5:27 for the ultimate comment, Flex with a priceless expression.
The Antifascists (2017) – “A low intense war is being fought on the streets of Europe and the aim is on fascism. This critically acclaimed documentary takes us behind the masks of the militants called antifascists.” Very strong, swedish documentary (with subtitles).
Alex Jones New World Order Remix – “Spiritual takeover machines try to sell you on vaccines.” It’s funny, but it’s very sad.
Can You Hapless Fuckwits At Least Handle An Omelette? – “Think you shit-for-brains can handle that?” UHm, maybe?!
Donald Trump Phone Call – This dude claims he “got this robotic phone call from Donald Trump’s friends threatening me to stop saying bad things about Trump on my social media.” Robocall nirvana. This could be a fake. Who knows.
Ventura after the fire – All the best to the person I once visited there…
Chamath Palihapitiya, Founder and CEO Social Capital – “I think we have created tools that are ripping apart the social fabric of how society works. The short-term, dopamine-driven feedback loops weâve created are destroying how society works. No civil discourse, no cooperation; misinformation, mistruth. You are being programmed” This dude is a dickhead, but he says some interesting things for a minute or two.
Earthquake Magnitude Power Comparison – “Each increase in magnitude is 33 times more powerful than the previous one.” Make me shiver.
Elsa Dorlin – Se dĂ©fendre, une philosophie de la violence 4/5 – “Black Panthers : le bon sens et lâautodĂ©fense” Keeps delivering.

Somehow came up this week, timelessly great.
[via nerdcore]
Ăber die Spaltung des Netzes in digitale StĂ€mme – Wahr ist, was gut fĂŒr uns ist! – “Fake News sind nicht der Grund fĂŒr solche Weltbilder, sondern digitale StĂ€mme sind der Grund fĂŒr Fake News. Fake News sind nicht, wie es oft angenommen wurde, die Produkte sinisterer Manipulatoren, die damit die öffentliche Meinung in eine bestimmte Richtung lenken wollen. Sie sind vielmehr das Futter fĂŒr bestĂ€tigungshungrige StĂ€mme.” Yeah yeah, we heard you the first time, Seemann.
1. On Sisterhood | The Sisterhood – “Laurie and Eleanor Penny debate the personal and political meanings of that overused word in feminist discourse, sisterhood. Plus, they reveal why Chicken Run is the most important radical feminist film to come out this century.”
#learn
Schedule 34th Chaos Communication Congress – 34c3 incoming.
CrimethInc. : Anarchist Perspectives on Net Neutrality : The Digital Enclosure of the Commons – “An anarchist approach must begin by rejecting the false dichotomy between corporate and state power. From there, we must dare to dream about decentralized forms of infrastructure that are resilient against top-down control.” It’s time.
This city in Alaska is warming so fast, algorithms removed the data because it seemed unreal – “The temperature in Barrow had been warming so fast this year, the data was automatically flagged as unreal and removed from the climate database. It was done by algorithms that were put in place to ensure that only the best data gets included in NOAAâs reports.” Algorithms playing dumb.
The Hackers Behind Some of the Biggest DDoS Attacks in History Plead Guilty – “Three men plead guilty to being the creators and operators of the Mirai botnet.” Fine.
Harvey Weinstein Is My Monster Too – “The range of his persuasion tactics went from sweet-talking me to that one time when, in an attack of fury, he said the terrifying words, âI will kill you, donât think I canât.â” What a disgusting man.
How the Gig Economy Profits Off of Desperation – “the gig economy isnât about sharing; itâs about service, and it clearly demarcates the served and the servants.” Modern wage slaves.
That âMan Fluâ Study Was Created for Laughs – “The man flu study comes from a bizarre April Fools-like tradition of real scientists publishing tongue-in-cheek papers, and news outlets using them as clickbait.” Ha ha, and I believed it.
MUJI HUT | çĄć°èŻć – Want!
Danny Boyle x Banksy â âThe Alternativityâ Film – “After revealing two new pieces in the holy city of Bethlehem on the eve of Alternativity play held around the corner from his Walled Off Hotel, Banksy premiering the The Alternativity film on BBC Two this Sunday, the 17th of December. The feature directed by Danny Boyle follows his experience of directing, producing and setting up this performance together with local theater director, performance artist, actress and teacher at Bethlehem University, Riham Isaac.” Banksy is brave.
Italian Prosecutor Makes Request to Close Hacking Team Investigation – “After more than two years, the Italian prosecutors have nothing to show for their investigation into the spectacular hack of Italian surveillance tech vendor Hacking Team.” The last laugh?
What the Killing of a Punk in Texas Says About America – “In ‘Bomb City,’ the killing of an Amarillo, Texas, punk teenager at the hands of a jock is brought back to life. The questions it asks are as potent as ever.” Looking forward to this movie.
This Is How Steve Bannon And Breitbart Tried To Sabotage Twitter – “For more than a year before he became Donald Trumpâs campaign manager, Steve Bannon sought to wage war against Twitter, tasking Milo Yiannopoulos and other Breitbart News employees to look into editorial, financial, and legal ways they could harm the Jack Dorseyâled social network.” The sneaky fuckers. And if only they did succeed, president TÂźÂšÂ”Ï would not exist.
AI-Assisted Fake Porn Is Here and Weâre All Fucked – “Someone used an algorithm to paste the face of ‘Wonder Woman’ star Gal Gadot onto a porn video, and the implications are terrifying.” This is scary AND kinda great.
Mental Health Apps Made Me Feel More Overwhelmed Than Ever – “Products meant to make me feel better just stressed me out more.” There’s no app for that.
You Give Up a Lot of Privacy Just Opening Emails. Here’s How to Stop It – “There are some 269 billion emails sent and received daily. Thatâs roughly 35 emails for every person on the planet, every day. Over 40 percent of those emails are tracked” Email? What’s that?
How do offshore schemes work? The game that shows how easily kleptocrats can hide their money – “The gameâs aim is to demystify the way kleptocrats hide their cash, improving the publicâs understanding of how the offshore world works. Itâs a notoriously difficult thing to explainâwith reports like the Panama Papers tending to rely on headache-inducing maps breaking down every shell company and jurisdiction the kleptocratâs cash has passed through” Good idea, somehow, but do I want to experience this?
How Hayek’s Evolutionary Theory Disproves His Politics – “The union of political liberalism with Hayekâs economic liberalism â laissez faireâ has proven to be an unhappy marriage. It is no surprise that some of those who have fared worse during the last quarter century of right wing resurgence are attracted to xenophobic nationalism and intolerance.” Hayek, your argument is invalid, k?
#oldiebutgoodie
MAN – “Animation created in Flash and After Effects looking at mans relationship with the natural world.” One of the best animations ever.
Time to release the internet from the free market â and make it a basic right – “Internet providers seized a tool built at public expense, privatized it, and sold it back to us for profit. Repealing net neutrality will only make it worse” We need this.
Mit Rechten reden? – “Eine Debatte bedingt jedoch Dialogbereitschaft. Doch sie wollen nicht nur reden, sie wollen Recht bekommen.” Ăber nicht mit. Ăber nicht mit. Ăber nicht mit. Ăber nicht mit. Ăber nicht mit.
Paris: Obdachloser klaut 300.000 Euro aus Wechselstube
“Am Anfang haben wir an eine geplante Tat mit Komplizen gedacht, aber vermutlich war es einfach Zufall”, sagte ein Polizist. “Das ist schon verrĂŒckt.” #TeamObdachloser
Top-‘WoW’-Spieler legt seinen eigenen Clan mit DDoS-Attacken lahm – “Ein skrupelloser ‘World of Warcraft’-Ersatzspieler hat seine Clan-Mitglieder immer wieder gezielt auĂer Gefecht gesetzt, um selbst im Rampenlicht stehen zu können. Erst jetzt flog sein Verrat auf.” This dude is nuts.
AIDS (HIV) Nosode C60 Globuli – “Die Bezeichnung der Nosoden/Einzelmittel in der Homöopathie ist kein Hinweis auf ein Anwendungsgebiet, sondern auf den verarbeiteten Ausgangsstoff.” Oh boy.
