Coffee Thought™: To a first approximation, it can be said that every person who wears a badge or robe in the U.S. is a morally compromised reactionary who should never be allowed to hold an office of special trust and confidence.

So if you haven't noticed — and judging by the lack of any inquiries about it, you haven't — I hadn't had the Seagull out of her case since I went to L.A. at the beginning of September.

Hey, I’m just asking questions. Ignorant questions, bigoted questions, questions that have been repeatedly answered for many years. Sorry, but I’m not listening to answers right now; I’m far too busy asking questions. It’s called being intellectually curious.

Anyway, it's 2026 and there are people, in public, saying with their full chest that we shouldn't have fought Hitler and I don't know what you do about that without a set of politicians made of something a bit firmer than slime.

In some new writing I critique William I. Robinson's book "The Global Police State" to argue that policing is more than just a repressive tool but a way in which labour relations are organised and through which fascist ideology can emerge organically www.patreon.com/johnthedunca...

Recent calls to abolish the family mistake a political institution for a problem of care and labor. This piece argues that family abolition borrows radical rhetoric while neglecting how families reproduce authority, domination, and the state. By Robyn Marasco buff.ly/unBUyqS

I know watching a feature-length essay about conservative mis-, mal-, and nonfeasance vis-a-vis climate change and trans rights is not high on most people's lists, but this lays everything out in a way that makes me think trials at The Hague are in order.

Jackie Jackson died two days ago. His death did not get the fanfare that the big celebrities get but I assure you he was no less than any of them: a titan astride the earth. In this thread, a few of the songs he played bass on. You know these songs. You know their bass parts. youtu.be/DKVB_CtU8XQ
