Capitalism Killed Our Climate Momentum, Not “Human Nature” – “There is nothing essential about humans living under capitalism; we humans are capable of organizing ourselves into all kinds of different social orders, including societies with much longer time horizons and far more respect for natural life-support systems. Indeed, humans have lived that way for the vast majority of our history and many Indigenous cultures keep earth-centered cosmologies alive to this day. Capitalism is a tiny blip in the collective story of our species.” It’s the capitalism, stupid.

Multi-Catch Mouse Trap ( that works ! ) – “A Simple self re-setting multi mouse trap you can make yourself. It self re-sets and will catch multiple mice. Nothing to wind up or reset or load. Doesn’t need to be re-baited since the mice can’t get to the bait” So simple.

If You Don’t Want To Be Called A Fascist, Stop Supporting Donald Trump, A Fascist – “In today’s episode, we conclude our four part series on the rise of President Donald Trump and his brand of fascism, Trumpism. Also, if you don’t like being called a fascist, stop supporting Donald Trump, a fascist who does fascist things all of the time. Stop.”

Arschkarte statt Fahrkarte! No Fun Facts mit Nico Semsrott – “In Melbourne und Tallinn gibt es kostenlosen Nahverkehr – warum nicht auch bei uns?”

G-Ideas | G-Road – “Deliberately designed from various sources these concepts aim at your own green inspiration. Each project is a sustainable dream by itself and connected with the longlasting story of the G-ROAD.” Sustainability as a design parameter.

How Not to Talk About Climate Change – “The New York Times Magazine claims in a blockbuster new article that democracy and human nature are to blame for the climate crisis. They’re wrong.” Yeah, just don’t.

Why The Jordan Peterson & Mumfords Brodown Comes As No Surprise – “There was a minor conference of whoppers recently when alt-right figurehead Jordan Peterson popped into Mumford & Sons’ studio for a photo op.” So tired of this lobstahlovin Dumpfbacke, but hey.

‘Israel was the absolute darling of progressive, liberal America,’ but no more, says Chomsky – “not too long ago, Israel was the absolute darling of progressive, liberal America. That has changed. By now, among self-identified Democrats, they have considerably more support for Palestinians than for Israel. Support for Israel in the United States has shifted to the ultranationalist right and evangelicals, who, for the wrong reasons, support Israeli actions, with some passion” There has been a fundamental shift and it is closely tied to despicable anti-muslim sentiment.

These ‘Ghost Characters’ Don’t Mean Anything But You Can Type Them Anyway – “Forty years ago, a handful of fake Japanese characters ended up in Unicode by mistake.” Use them, they don’t mean a thing. Uhm.

Facebook Makes A Huge Mistake: Removes Genuine #ShutItDownDC Counter Protest Event Page – “Facebook is claiming that the page was put up by Russian-based conspiracy troll accounts. Yes those accounts; the same ones that influenced the . Facebook is making a bad situation worse with its misguided censorship. All we know is that whatever vetting process it’s using is truly flawed.” This is sooo pathetic, shame on you, Zuck.

Last year was warmest ever that didn’t feature an El Niño, report finds – “State of the climate report found 2017 was the third warmest with a record high sea level and destructive coral bleaching” My brain already has started to melt.

Gaming’s toxic men, explained – “Experts tackle the phenomenon of angry men, trolls, racists and misogynists who hover around the video game industry” Exhaustive.

Pussy Riot members rearrested after leaving prison – “Members of the band Pussy Riot appeared surprised as they were met by Russian police after leaving prison where they had been held for 15 days. They were detained after running on to the pitch at Luzhniki stadium dressed as police officers during the second half of the World Cup final between France and Croatia. Olga Pakhtusova, Olga Kurachyova and Veronika Nikulshina looked confused as a police officer approached them and they were immediately put into a van and driven away. A tweet on Pussy Riot’s official Twitter page said they had been charged with “the organisation and holding of public events without prior notice” and could face another 10 days behind bars.” Free Pussy Riot. Again.

Aphex Twin Logo Appears At Tube Station – “Mysterious 3D renderings of the Aphex Twin logo appeared at Elephant & Castle tube station” What’s Richard D. James up to?

Unfollowing Everybody – “At this point, there’s nothing novel about noticing that social media is often toxic and stressful. But even aside from those concerns, our social networks are not things we generally think of as requiring maintenance or upkeep, even though we routinely do regular updates on all the other aspects of our digital lives.” Too rad for me.

Ding! Earned First Higher Degree. – “So while I do not believe that I have yet become a “serious academic” or that I will be focused primarily on research and academic output, I feel like I’ve discovered a new lens through which to look at things — a new world to explore. It reminds me of entering a new zone in a game like World of Warcraft where there are new quests, new skills, new reps to grind, and lots of new things to learn. So fun.” Joi is now leveling academia. Where’s my Negroponte?

A brief history of the peace symbol – “The design is meant to represent the letters “N” and “D” — standing for “nuclear disarmament” — as they appear in the semaphore alphabet, which is used by sailors to communicate from a distance with flags.” Never knew that.

‘Intoxicating freedom, gripping fear’: Mumia Abu-Jamal on life as a Black Panther – “Black Pantherism’ is but a synonym for Blackness itself. For in a society deeply imbued with white supremacy, Blackness is itself a crime” Free Mumia.

American Society Would Collapse If It Weren’t for These 8 Myths – “So … shouldn’t there be riots in the streets every day? Shouldn’t it all be collapsing? Look outside. The streets aren’t on fire. No one is running naked and screaming (usually). Does it look like everyone’s going to work at gunpoint? No. We’re all choosing to continue on like this.” Funny and very true.

Zehn Jahre „Fefes Blog“: Die Hassmaschine der Arschlochnerds – “„Fefes Blog“ ist diskursmächtig. Und ein Problem. Es ist das Leitmedium für den reaktionär-ignoranten Teil der männlichen deutschen Netzszene.”

Der Planet schlägt zurück – “Apokalypse Hunger, Stürme, Kriege und eine Sonne, die uns kocht: Wie der Klimawandel die Welt verändern wird” And it’s only getting worse.

Spionagesoftware Pegasus gegen Amnesty International eingesetzt – “Laut Amnesty International wurde einer ihrer Mitarbeiter Ziel eines Spionageangriffs. Im Juni habe der Mitarbeiter eine WhatsApp-Nachricht über einen angeblichen Protest vor der saudi-arabischen Botschaft in Washington bekommen. In der Nachricht war ein Link enthalten, der auf die Infrastruktur der israelischen NSO Group verwiesen habe. Dem Mitarbeiter sollte wohl die Spionagesoftware „Pegasus“ untergejubelt werden, vermutet Amnesty International.” Anyone can be a target.

Jessica Instanza – “es ist diese eine classic lovestory zwischen dir und mir, es ist deine niederlage, deine männliche verletzlichkeit und verletztheit, meine weibliche autorität, meine ausgespielte macht und moralische instanz, die mir in meiner unterdrücktheit zusteht und dein die-klappe-halten, das deine privilegiertheit als letzte konsequenz fordert.” A swiss Laurie Penny in the making?! Dunno. At any rate, I totally love her angry rants.

Soundcloud ist voll von rechtsextremer Musik und verfassungsfeindlichen Symbolen – “Neonazis verbreiten auf Soundcloud massenhaft verbotene Musik. Unsere Recherche zeigt: Von sich aus tut die Plattform fast nichts gegen verfassungsfeindliche Inhalte.” Seriously, why.

Gute Nippel, böse Nippel – “Auf Facebook und Instagram werden Bilder von weiblichen Brustwarzen routinemäßig gelöscht. US-amerikanische Aktivistinnen kämpfen daher für ihr Recht, Nippel zu zeigen. Derweil verbieten in Deutschland links-hedonistische Veranstaltungen wie das Fusion Festival genau das ihren männlichen Besuchern.” Nipple.
