Greta Thunberg, the Fifteen-Year-Old Climate Activist Who Is Demanding a New Kind of Politics – “The climate is not going to collapse because some party got the most votes. The politics that’s needed to prevent the climate catastrophe—it doesn’t exist today. We need to change the system, as if we were in crisis, as if there were a war going on.” So inspiring, <3 Greta.

Without Our Consent – “Powerful men can and do continue to stand for their mutual comfort over women’s safety; Republicans can and will continue to insist that their pet pro-lifer is the right man for the job. The question is not if power will change now that we have seen its true face, but how long those of us without it will stand by and watch authority become abuse at the highest level. It is always easier to take the side of abusers. It is always easier to do nothing. What will you do?” As ever I am blown away, thanks Laurie.

T®ump Weaponizes Victimhood to Defend Kavanaugh – “Trump’s greatest weapon is his ability to wield victimhood, and he’s taking full advantage of it to defend Kavanaugh and undermine the movement.”

Laurie Penny On Why She’s Not Going To Debate You, Bro – “John Iadarola and journalist Laurie Penny discuss why she won’t debate misoginysts” In response to her article from last week.


Barcelona 29 Sep Holi Antifa against Jusapol – “Manifestació independentista i antifa contra l´acte organitzat pel sindicat de la Policia Nacional i la Guardia Civil Jusapol a Barcelona.” Love the part with the coloured flour.


INCEL – “When his countless real-life efforts at love fail, Sam turns to this anonymous community of the “involuntarily celibate” for help, but instead finds himself increasingly pushed towards extremism.” Not sure about the ending.

Conejo rescata a su amiga gatita – “Animalitos que se quieren”

listen and

Thom Yorke – Has Ended – “Taken from Suspiria (Music for the Luca Guadagnino Film)” Can’t wait for this movie.

Solecast w/ Frank Lopez on Radical Hip-hop and Submedia’s New Film “And You Don’t Stop” – “In today’s episode of the solecast I sit down with Frank Lopez to discuss Submedia’s new film in their ongoing Trouble series, “And You Don’t Stop.” And You Don’t Stop is a documentary about radical hip-hop as done by grass roots activists. Its an excellent look on hip-hop’s roots, its evolution and highlights some artists that are doing amazing work today.”

Thomas Fehlmann über Techno – “Es hat an Intensität nicht nachgelassen” – “Er hat die deutsche Musikgeschichte von Neuer Deutscher Welle bis Techno aktiv begleitet: Thomas Fehlmann. Techno ist für ihn „stark verwurzelt in dieser Zeit der Maueröffnung“ und ist für ihn „ein unvergleichliches Erlebnis, was mich stark geprägt hat bis heute“.”

“I watched a rape. For five decades, I did nothing.”” – “Many men have stories to tell and confessions to make. This is mine.” The goal has to be for men to interfere as a rape happens.

Mapped: How every part of the world has warmed – and could continue to warm – “Mapped: How every part of the world has warmed – and could continue to warm” Interactive map tool, let’s you play through various scenarios.

An artwork by Banksy shredded itself after selling for $1.3 million at Sotheby’s – “Banksy’s iconic Girl With Balloon (2006) attracted feverish bidding in the room and on the phones, racing past its high estimate of £300,000 to hammer at £860,000, or just over £1 million ($1.3 million with fees). As the gavel slammed, a siren rang out through the salesroom and everyone stood stunned as the Banksy canvas slid through the frame that it was contained in and emerged underneath—but shredded.” Shred.

Every time Ford and Kavanaugh dodged a question, in one chart – “There was a striking difference in style — and substance.” Perfect visualisation.

It’s time to winterize your vagina – “It’s winter vagina time, bitches.” Very funny.

How Feedback Loops Are Driving Runaway Climate Change – “One of the most well-known examples is the melting of sea ice in the Arctic during the summer, which is accelerating. As greater amounts of Arctic summer sea ice melt away, less sunlight is reflected back into space. Hence, more light is absorbed into the ocean, which warms it and causes more ice to melt, and on and on.” A reminder that most models were conservative estimates.

Wikipedia Editors: Breitbart ‘Should Not Be Used, Ever’ as a Reference for Facts – “Alex Jones’ InfoWars and the far-right media outlet Breitbart can’t be used as a source of fact in Wikipedia articles anymore, “due to its unreliability.”” Had to happen.

If the Point of Capitalism is to Escape Capitalism, Then What’s the Point of Capitalism? – “Do you see my point? How funny and strange it is? Even the capitalist is really just trying win back his freedom from capitalism. Buy it back, properly speaking. But so is the prole. So is the bourgeois. So is the wage-slave. Whatever terms we choose, depending on our politics, the point remains the same. So, my friends, are we all — the point of capitalism is to escape capitalism.” Interesting angle, capitalism has always been chasing its own tail.

Our cult of personality is leaving real life in the shade | George Monbiot – “The task of all citizens is to understand what we are seeing. The world as portrayed is not the world as it is. The personification of complex issues confuses and misdirects us, ensuring that we struggle to comprehend and respond to our predicaments.” And it is an imperative to broadcast personality.

Kavanaugh Shouldn’t Be on the Supreme Court. Neither Should Anyone Else. – “Rape, abuse, and other forms of violence are a systemic problem within our society, not a matter of individual deviance. We need a way of addressing rape culture that cuts to the root.” Good reminder, there should not even be a supreme court, nor a national government.

The abuse potential of medical psilocybin according to the 8 factors of the Controlled Substances Act – “The abuse potential of medical psilocybin according to the 8 factors of the Controlled Substances Act” Shrooms r good.

Psychologists define the ‘dark core of personality’ – “Egoism, Machiavellianism, narcissism, psychopathy, sadism, spitefulness are all traits that stand for the malevolent dark sides of human personality. Results from a recent project show, these traits share a common ‘dark core.’ So, if you have one of these tendencies, you are also likely to have one or more of the others.” Scary article.

The warm glow of kindness is real, even when there’s nothing in it for you – “The decision to share resources is a cornerstone of any cooperative society. We know that people can choose to be kind because they like feeling like they are a ‘good person’, but also that people can choose to be kind when they think there might be something ‘in it’ for them such as a returned favour or improved reputation.” Be excellent to each other.

How We Know Kavanaugh Is Lying – “This man should not serve another day as any kind of judge… ” The entire list of his lies.

Text About ‘Just Being Friends’ Takes a Turn NO ONE Was Expecting – “Rejection is never fun, but some people approach it rationally and maturely…and then there is this person.”

Go buy that pickup and roll that coal, the NHTSA and Trump administration say we are going to cook anyway. – “Five years ago in the Guardian, Dana Nuccitelli enumerated the 5 stages of climate denial:
1. deny the problem exists (it’s a hoax!)
2. deny we are the cause (sunspots!)
3. deny it’s a problem (more food! Bananas in Canada!)
4. deny we can solve it (too expensive!)
5. It’s too late (let’s party!)” Two many entering stage 5 already. But the parties still suck.

James Bridle, Plane Talking – “The full interview, is divided into seven separate video interviews. Each video has the relevant part of the written interview attached to it which you can read below each video. For the interview in full, keep reading below.””

“Das ist gefährlich für uns alle”: Massive Kritik am Hassreport von Jan Böhmermanns Netzbewegung “Reconquista Internet” – “Der am Montag veröffentlichte “Hassreport” von Jan Böhmermanns Netzbewegung “Reconquista Internet” zieht größere Kreise, als es den Machern lieb ist. Die Initiative “Hooligans Gegen Satzbau” kritisiert das 129 Seiten lange Dokument, indem exemplarisch fünfzig “Schmutz-Tweets” und Hassnachrichten gelistet sind. In dem Report tauchen unter anderem Name und Adresse eines Tatverdächtigen von Chemnitz auf.” This not only looks bad. Goes into the direction of public shaming.

Wann kippt ein Land? – “Der Aufstieg der AfD in Deutschland wurde vor längerer Zeit im Feld der Kultur vorbereitet. Publizist Georg Diez beschreibt, welche Debatten und Filme dazu beitrugen.”

Seither herrscht Ausnahmezustand – “Die Schriftstellerin Manja Präkels ist in der DDR aufgewachsen, die Wendezeit hat sie als Heranwachsende erlebt. Ein Gastbeitrag über den Normalitätsverlust, der nicht erst seit Chemnitz im Osten der Bundesrepublik zu beobachten ist.”

Jugendliche in Ostdeutschland: Wir waren wie Brüder – “Unser Autor ist vor Neonazis weggelaufen und er war mit Rechten befreundet. In den Neunzigern in Ostdeutschland ging das zusammen. Und heute?” Just so impressive.

«Was ist eigentlich die Aufgabe der Medien im aktuellen Klima?» – “Man bittet nicht um Rechte, man kämpft für sie. Niemandem werden Rechte geschenkt – und wenn, dann würde ich das höchst dringlich infrage stellen. […] Feminismus ist nunmal keine Kuscheldecke. Feminismus muss sich nicht wohlig anfühlen, ganz im Gegenteil, er muss stören, Krach machen, laut sein, unangenehm sein. Weil eine Frau zu sein ist ja auch ganz oft unangenehm.” Great interview with Sibel Schick.

Terrorrazzia in Chemnitz: Kein Mob, sondern Rechtsterroristen – “Der Fall der mutmaßlichen rechtsextremen Terrorzelle in Chemnitz zeigt: Das Problem Verfassungsschutz ist mit Maaßens Abgang noch lange nicht erledigt.” The situation is beyond serious.

MARCHÉ NOIR – “MARCHÉ NOIR est une alternative. Une bourse de l’ombre, un versant parallèle du trade, un piratage des marchés. Loin des inanités des échanges boursiers, il est temps de s’accorder sur de nouvelles équivalences. Les miennes, les tiennes, les nôtres.” Very nice exchange trade market of non-monetary values.

Interview mit dem französischen Soziologen und Bestseller-Autor Didier Eribon – “Wenn sie jetzt das Thema der verratenen Arbeiterklasse wieder auf den Tisch bringen will, hat sie völlig recht. Aber wenn Sie mein Buch richtig lesen, stellen Sie fest, dass ich keinen Gegensatz zwischen den Interessen der Arbeiterklasse und denen des Feminismus, Antirassismus, der LGBT-Bewegung und der Ökologie aufmache. Eine wirklich linke Partei kann nur all diese Themen gemeinsam angehen. Alles ist miteinander verknüpft. Menschen kommen aus fernen Ländern zu uns, weil der Klimawandel ihre Lebensgrundlagen zerstört.” He wrote a book that was sooo misunderstood.

“Diese Körper sind von Angst erfüllt” Interview mit Theweleit – “Diskutieren mit denen? Nein! Und nochmal nein. Aber nicht aus der Verlogenheit heraus: „Wir sind die Objektiven“. Und auch noch denken, man wäre denen damit überlegen; könne sie, diskutierend, widerlegen! Der Gipfel! Gegen Leute, die (voll bewusst) aus dem Kontrafaktischen reden (ob Weidel, Gauland oder Trump) kann jeder „diskutierende“ Mensch nur verlieren; weil dieser Typus sich mit jedem vorgebrachten „Argument“ nur den Hintern wischt und eine Behauptung dagegensetzt, die darauf pfeift, „wahr“ oder auch nur „begründbar“ zu sein. Mit solchen Leuten diskutiert man nicht als halbwegs vernünftiger Mensch.” One pissed off old hippie.
