When I started producing a weekly #anarchist video podcast 20 years ago, I could count in one hand who the other anarcho video podcasters were (at least the ones I knew existed) Today I'm so fuckin happy to find folks producing high quality video podcasts that not only empower peeps but make info accesible to a large audience without feeling preachy and dogmatic!!🙏👏 So while going through a YouTube wormhole of diy #meshcore solar repeater builds, I stumbled upon (well, the algorithm told...

Get ready for a whole lot of history rewrites and outright nationalist mythinformation as Trump celebrates the 250 anniversary of US &quot;independence&quot; from Britain and the fiction that is the American &quot;revolution&quot; - excellent long read about how inconsequential 1776 was in the global context at the time. Well worth the read and sharing with school aged children. https://www.newyorker.com/magazine/2026/05/11/republic-and-empire-trevor-burnard-andrew-jackson-oshau...

Every so often you learn about a truly remarkable person because they passed away. I knew very little about #BenMorea partly because the New York anarchist was so elusive. Alas, the leader of the &quot;Back Up Against The Wall, Motherfucker&quot; collective left our world, but his extraordinary life, labour, commitment to his ideals and the fact that badasses like him don&#39;t come around too often should be remembered and celebrated. Below are some articles about his incredible exp...

This is one of those “the internet can actually be useful for something besides making us all worse” moments. Kailo is only two years old and needs a second open heart surgery. His parents are taking him to another city for specialized care, and they’ll both be off work for several weeks so they can be by his side. That means lost income, travel costs, and all the extra expenses that come with trying to keep a tiny heart warrior safe in a system that makes families crowdfund survival. Please...

Signal may actually get pushed out of Canada because of Bill C-22, a proposed “lawful access” surveillance law. Signal says it would rather walk than break encryption or start hoovering up metadata for the cops. Good. Some folks seem to think that it could happen in the US as well. This is a big fucking deal. I spent years trying to get people to use PGP and failed miserably, because PGP is where usability goes to die. Signal worked because normal humans could use it. I even got my parents o...

¿Alguien aquí ha leído 2666 de Bolaño? Lo compré, lo empecé a leer y lo encuentro muy aburrido y me parece un poco como una masturbacion literaria. Pero si alguien aquí me dice que continúe porque de verdad de verdad de verdad se va a poner bueno, después de hablar en la oración más larga que jamás se haya escrita, sobre el elusivo autor alemán. Si alguien me dice &quot;Frank ten fe que el libro se pone bueno&quot; lo sigo leyendo. ¿qué dicen?

Haiti’s garment workers are making May Day mean what it’s supposed to mean: workers shutting shit down. Bosses pay them 685 gourdes a day while gas is 850 gourdes a gallon. Some workers spend almost their entire wage just getting to work. Now the women workers at SONAPI are walking out, pushing past managers trying to lock them inside, and demanding a real wage, lower fuel prices, and an end to the violence wrecking their communities. Solidarity with Batay Ouvriye and every worker in Haiti ref...

This is by far one of the best Golden era #hiphop mixes I&#39;ve heard in a long, long time - not only does DJ Afrosia know her shit -Ghetto Boyz, Digital Underground, Pharcyde, she mixes in enough of the legendary female MCs to make us remember that women rule hip hop as well - Salt n Peppa, Monie Love etc. There&#39;s also great little surprises like when you think D Nice is about to drop his first rhyme. Bam! Gimme that beat fool! Yeah the heads out there know what I&#39;m talking...

Superbly written eotw sci-fi comedy novel &quot;Severance&quot; by Ling Ma (no, not that Severance) imagines a global pandemic in 2011 around the time of occupy wall Street. If you enjoy deliciously subversive story telling with a healthy dash of dry humor then give this a read. 5 stars.

Trying to solve a modern parent problem: I want to give my kid an MP3 player for his birthday so he can listen to music + podcasts without handing him a dopamine casino disguised as a smartphone. I’ve got an old Android phone I could lock down, but then I’m still teaching phone habits, interfaces, notifications, swipe-brain, all that bullshit. So I’m looking for a real standalone player. Need: - MP3s - podcasts - Bluetooth headphones - simple controls - no browser - no app store - no addict...

25 years ago, as comrades were laying seige to the meetings of the WTO in Seattle, anti-capitalists geeks were providing the communications infrastructure for the resistance - they are called @riseup and to this day they provide critical infrastructure to our movement. They do not make money via ads or sell your data to corporations. But they do rely on donations to survive. So if you value private, anarchist rum tech collectives, throw a few bucks in the jar of these rad cyber geeks. Better yet...

@lienrag The more I think about Sirat, the more the kid’s death feels like the whole point of the film. It’s not just tragedy, it’s a warning about the stupidity and arrogance of the entire trip. These white Europeans are stumbling through the Global South like it’s their personal playground for self-discovery, partying, and chaos, with zero consciousness about the political reality around them. The whole “saving her” mission is bullshit too. She didn’t need saving. She’s an adult, and the film...

Finally, some motherfuckin justice! Judge dismisses $100K lawsuit by a fuckin whiner who sued the good folks at Los Tacos No 1. in the NYC because the salsa was too spicy. &quot;He alleged that he experienced unpleasant symptoms after eating the tacos, including burning in his mouth and tongue, an increased heart rate, nausea and tongue blisters. Manz said he later returned to his hotel, where he took medication for diarrhea, acid reflux and stomach cramps.&quot; Add insult to injury...

Not often a documentary makes me cry, but Mr. Nobody Against Putin fucked me up. Easily one of the best docs I’ve seen in a long time. Yeah, it just won the Oscar, and sure, take that with a grain of salt. But the film itself is devastating. It follows an AV teacher in a Russian school who witnesses, from the inside, the slow militarization of education—and through that, the militarization of society itself. That’s what makes it so chilling: it doesn’t happen all at once. It happens in small s...

Pro tip: if you’re recommending a film where kids die to friends who have kids, maybe lead with that shit. A warning first, then the rave review. That said, on the recommendation of two friends, (with no kids) I watched Sirat last night and it was incredible. Also, my home theater setup is a total junkyard miracle: patched-up surround sound built from thrift store finds and literal garbage, plus a dirt-cheap projector. Poor man’s cinema. But this is exactly the kind of film you want to blast l...

Yo, real talk—what the fuck are we gonna do when the internet gets shut off? We&#39;ve seen it in #Gaza, in #Iran, and when Elon “I-play-God” Musk blacked out Starlink in Ukraine. Every time shit gets heavy, the state or some oligarch clown just pulls the plug. It ain’t just a glitch—it’s strategic, it’s repression, and it’s a fucking reminder that most of our comms infrastructure is in the hands of fascists, corporations, or both. I’ve been working with indigenous comrades who rely on #St...

Absolutely deranged that it may take bombing the world’s biggest gas infrastructure for people to whisper, “damn, maybe building society around fossil fuels was not the galaxy-brain move.” Hell of an energy transition plan, folks. #iran
