The only conversation worth having is how Black people are overpoliced & over-punished & held to different standards in all aspects of life. That there is an outrage when Black people transgress that isn’t there when their non-Black counterparts do.

Sometimes I wish my pattern recognition was better at predicting when good things will happen, not just bad things, but at least I have become better at restabilizing my nervous system for the latter.

Always get a kick out of people who, after all this time, are still penning articles and posting things like, "This is going to get a lot worse unless the Trump Administration changes course." My dude. They're not there to make things work. They're there to steal. Open your fucking eyes.

People like to write about Icarus, but we forget that he flew, for a short while, anyway;
and people like to write about Judas, but we forget that he walked with God, for a short while, anyway;
and people like to write about death, but forget that we live, for a short while, anyway;
and perhaps such things are worth it, are worth throwing it all away;
oh, what I'd give, to touch such dreams, for a short while, anyway.

Very few narratives piss me off as much as the whole "let's give marginalised people LLM assistants for inclusion".

Inclusion does not mean giving marginalised people shittier versions of a thing: Sure you can give kids from poorer backgrounds an LLM to "learn" but what you are saying is that poor people are not worth having trustworthy sources of information. When you say that older or lonely people can talk to chatbots to feel less alone you are saying that some people are not worth a social life.

This is a deeply inhumane perspective that goes actively against the ideas and ideals of inclusion.

I regularly see people wondering how it's possible that there are so many musicians and writers and film makers and artists from a tiny nation like Iceland. And the answer is really simple: State funding for art education and artists. I literally get a salary from the government to write books.

The Continent @thecontinent.org · 23/01/2026

All Protocol Observed Welcome to Issue 225 of The Continent Superpowers don’t only control African minerals with loans, bribes and threats. Sometimes it’s through financial sleight of hand, as is the case of a Malawian mining licence granted in 2017. bit.ly/225_TC

At the very top, on a wide mustard-yellow band, there’s small black text that reads: African Journalism | 24 January 2026 | Issue 225. Beneath it, dominating the upper third, is the magazine’s title, “The Continent,” in large, bold black letters.
The background is soft and hazy, painted in warm pastels, peach, cream, and light gold, like late afternoon light. Draped across the entire upper half of the cover are thick chains, coloured pink and orange, looping and overlapping. They hang loosely but heavily, suggesting weight and restraint, almost like something looming overhead.
In the centre of the image, five men sit cross-legged on the ground in a loose circle. They are drawn in a semi-cartoon style but clearly adult, middle-aged, and dressed formally in dark business suits, white shirts, and ties. Each of them wears a pointed party hat — pinks, purples, and yellows — giving the scene a strange, forced celebratory feel.
Confetti is scattered across the ground around them in small bright flecks of colour, reinforcing the sense of a “party,” though the mood feels tense rather than joyful.
One man, seated on the left, is leaning forward and handing something small and rectangular — it looks like a stack of cards or money — to the man opposite him. The others watch closely, their hands either open or gesturing, as if negotiating, receiving, or approving the exchange.
Slightly behind the group, in the background, there is a sixth figure. He sits apart from the circle, hunched forward with his elbows on his knees and his head resting on his hands. He is darker, less detailed, and shaded in muted tones, giving the impression of distance, exclusion, or quiet distress.
At the bottom left of the cover, in bold black text, the headline reads:
“The Chinese takeover Malawi never saw coming.”
Below that, in much smaller text, is the illustration credit: Illustration: Wynona Mutisi.

Minneapolis and Saint Paul have basically mobilized into a war economy of mutual aid and non-violent defense. I’ve never seen anything like it, even during Covid. People who barely vote are guarding their schools from ICE and doing the shopping for neighbors in hiding.
