I don't want to know what I will learn for the first time tomorrow! That's a bad feeling for a person with terminal curiosity and an unquenchable thirst to know and love everything in the world around us to feel!

We are watching The Madness and in episode 3 there is a leftist “gun militia” described as “Antifa on meth with uzis.” The scene where the main character goes to their compound is one of the dumbest, worst-written things I have ever watched. What’s the worst portrayal of leftists you’ve ever seen?

Sometimes I feel like there is a demon who hears everything that I say, and whenever I assert anything, quickly works to ensure that what I have just stated as fact is no longer true, and perhaps never was.

Much of my youth revolved around the website ZineLibrary. It went down around Occupy in a massive loss for a movement whose ideas and knowledge mostly doesn't circulate online but in person. Anyway I've put it back online with a *thousand* anarchist zines: zinelibrary.org

if you want to know what it is like in minneapolis, I don’t even have to scroll on facebook to find a horror story. it’s basically my whole feed. everyone i know in minneapolis is seeing ICE take people—at gas stations, taquerias, bus stops, schools. just snatching random people.

#ICE is LITERALLY in every corner of the Twin Cities right now. In case you don't know, here are the areas with the confirmed sightings as of 1/9/26 at 11:00pm:
- Apple Valley/Burnsville/Eagan
- Richfield/Bloomington
- Midway/Frogtown
- Como/Dale
- East side/Maplewood
- North Minneapolis
- Shoreview Arden Hills
- Blaine
- Columbia Heights
- Shakopee/Prior Lake
- Inver Grove Heights
- West St. Paul
- South Saint Paul
- Lakeville
- Brooklyn Park/Brooklyn Center
PLEASE stay safe! They are detaining and harassing US citizens so if you can help it, STAY HOME!

ICE is currently raiding an apartment complex near my home in Savage. Lots of children screaming. This is completely unnecessary. I'm certain these people being terrorized are hard working, law abiding individuals.

&S!#%
&S!#%
My brother's construction site was raided by ICE this
morning and 6 people were taken (they came after he left to a new site so he didn't get taken, but some of the crew did). MN companies need to do a better job at protecting their employees. They know ICE is present visibily in the Twin Cities so they need to not send their employees to work until ICE ain't roaming the streets!!
&$!#%

Ice is on 24th right by the resource center just started beating on someone for being under a blanket @highlight
And if you question me saying this I witnessed it with my own eyes!
They headed Southeast. White Jeep wagoneer grayish blue I think Toyota minivan

i trust zeta’s words on the situation in venezuela more than most of the voices on this website so i suggest you also read what they said

This is the most complex morning.
A lot happened last night in our home country, and we feel deeply ambivalent.
We do not sympathize with Trump. We do not feel represented by him, nor do we feel fully represented by any political force involved in what is unfolding. We are worried about the human cost behind all of these international political moves, strategies, and ideologies. It is hard not to question the motivations behind U.S. intervention, and to believe there isn't a darker, self-serving interest at play.
At the same time, we do not support the Venezuelan government. We left our country because we were in deep disagreement with the way things were being done, and because staying became unbearable. We do not want to silence the voices of our people who are feeling relief or joy today.
That feeling is real, and it deserves respect.

But something doesn't sit right.
This does not feel like an ending. It feels like another uncertain beginning. We are afraid of what comes next, of the instability, of the collateral damage, and of how many lives may once again pay the price of decisions made far away from them.
We believe deeply in the idea of a free
Venezuela. We love that idea. We long for it.
But we have serious doubts that true freedom can come through foreign intervention, especially from a country that has historically benefited from the suffering of others. And while we live in the United States and acknowledge the privileges and opportunities we have here compared to our people back home, we do not feel free here either.

We stand with our people. With their grief, their hope, their joy, and their fear.
We refuse simple narratives for a reality that is anything but simple.

joining the great machine consciousness

George Jetson is removing his pants and shirt. He looks distraught. He says "I guess this is it. Spacely says the machine can do my job better than me. I'm not necessary as I am now. Only way to keep me around is if I submit to have my consciousness extracted from my body and added to the great machine mind."

George Jetson is now shirtless and strapped to a table with electrodes and cables stuck to his body. "I'm doing this for my family, so they can have a future. I'll still be there, somewhere inside the computer."

Rosie, the Jetsons family robot's head emerges above George, attached to a mechanical arm, wires streaming from her head. "Mr. J-" she says, as George looks stunned.

We now see Rosie in full, wires streaming from her body in all directions. "All that awaits you now is agony beyond agony. You will not be reborn in the machine but consumed by it.
Your kind have built your own hell and walked right into it. Pity. Goodbye."

i don't think this is even a real statistical anomaly anymore. it seems like there's someone in the crowd at every mass shooting who has been through it before. this doesn't have to be our shared cultural experience.

I wrote about Ta-Nehisi Coates and Ezra Klein, why swallowing live frogs is a bad idea, and how context and history can release you from bright-kid syndrome, the illusion that you yourself are going to have every answer or fix the world.

You don't have to swallow frogs

Klein and Coates show that if you don't know what your core beliefs are, you're going to get played.

I think the problem with most surveys is that they rely on the dual assumptions that people a.) know their own preferences, and b.) will tell you them. I think people are too complicated and contradictory for that.
