It is dictator’s prerogative to be inconsistent. To be contradictory. There is one rule: follow the dictator’s lead.

People are already organized, everywhere, whether by their boss into specific teams or sites, or by themselves into groupchats and book clubs and prayer groups. The challenge is to organize consciously, politically, and, eventually, publicly. But you're never starting from scratch.

Here’s the bigger ask I mentioned: I owe $6k in back rent. I’ve been selling my limited belongings to reduce the number but it is slow going and I can’t hope to cover it all, especially not in the short time I have. I have enough to cover October rent and little more. More details below.

the contemporary antifa movement in North America has been regrettably ignorant of how white supremacy operates along anti-Indigeneity - the longer this festers, the deeper the divide between two disparate yet potentially complimentary sectors of anti-state antagonisms will grow.

The reason we can't marry quantum realities of multiplicity and indeterminacy with Newtonian models that we see with our eyes is that God never thought we'd look that close so never did proper level design and just has stuff floating randomly around at that level

This is my favourite Borges story.
The Witness by Borges and translated by ANTHONY KERRIGAN

In a stable lying almost in the shadow of the new stone church, a man with
gray eyes and a gray beard, stretched on the ground amidst the animal
odors, meekly seeks death like someone seeking sleep. The day, faithful to
vast secret laws, continuously displaces and confounds the shadows in the
wretched stable. Outside stretch the tilled fields, a deep ditch filled up with
dead leaves, and the tracks of a wolf in the black mud where the woods
begin. The man sleeps and dreams, forgotten. The bells calling to prayer
awake him. In the kingdoms of England, the sound of the bells is already
one of the customs of the afternoon, but the man, while still a boy, had
seen the face of Woden, had seen holy dread and exultation, had seen the
rude wooden idol weighed down with Roman coins and heavy vestments,
seen the sacrifice of horses, dogs, and prisoners. Before dawn he would be
dead and with him would die, never to return, the last firsthand images of
the pagan rites. The world would be poorer when this Saxon was no more.
We may well be astonished by space-filling acts which come to an end
when someone dies, and yet something, or an infinite number of things,
die in each death—unless there is a universal memory, as the theosophists
have conjectured. There was a day in time when the last eyes to see Christ
were closed forever. The battle of Junín and the love of Helen died with
the death of some one man. What will die with me when I die? What
pathetic or frail form will the world lose? Perhaps the voice of Macedonio
Fernandez, the image of a horse in the vacant space at Serrano and
Charcas, a bar of sulfur in the drawer of a mahogany desk?

If you love stationary and based on sales, I think a lot of people do. Here's a gentle nudge to move past "collecting" and to actually USE the stationary. Write letters to friends and family. Send thank you notes. Write actual cards and MAIL THEM.

"Gaslighting" has seen such widespread adoption, transcending the milleu where it emerged, to become common parlance across our culture in a highly divided time. This leads me to the regrettable conclusion that Gaslight by Patrick Hamilton is the most influential play of the 21st century thus far
