  2. The British press is trying to sink #Polanski as they did #Corbyn.

    The press monstered #JeremyCorbyn by falsely accusing him of #antisemitism. But the attacks on #GPEW leader #ZackPolanski are overtly antisemitic, and also viciously #islamophobic.

    Don't fall for it.

  5. Bishop Mariann Budde impressed the nation with her courage when #Trump was inaugurated. Her simple, quintessentially Christian plea to him to show mercy to immigrants and LGBT people was met with vicious verbal attacks as well as death threats. But thousands of people also wrote to her to thank her for her courage. She made a video about it, saying that when we do the brave thing it's important to remember we are not alone.

    Now she's helping GOTV for the #midterms!

  6. I've got a cat in the lap situation times two. I told them I need to go to bed, someone has to work to keep them in tubs of Temptation treats. They said with my insomnia what's the rush.

    I'm pretty sure talking cats are related to my lack of sleep, from cats in my lap. It's a vicious cycle. 😂

  7. @crcollins No, I don't think so. I had a *generally* good experience of #Twitter in pre- #Musk days, but it had already deteriorated sharply before he took over. I left (and deleted my account) in 2022; I've never for one moment regretted it.

    #Mastodon doesn't (perhaps fortunately) have the same range of opinions, but it also does not reward bile or viciousness.

    La tiranía del restaurante: Por qué consumimos la toxicidad que odiamos

    Imaginen que una persona se levanta por la mañana, camina hacia un restaurante local y pide un plato enorme de una comida que detesta profundamente. Se sienta, se la come a puños con evidente desagrado y, al terminar, se levanta furiosa gritando que el menú es una basura y que el lugar es horrendo. Lo verdaderamente desconcertante no es su rabieta, sino que al día siguiente regresa exactamente a la misma hora para repetir el proceso. Este comportamiento, que calificaríamos como una completa incoherencia o insensatez, es la descripción exacta de cómo interactúa el usuario promedio en las redes sociales privativas.

    El usuario se queja constantemente de la hostilidad, la polarización y la superficialidad de plataformas como X o Instagram, pero se pasa horas consumiendo ese contenido que le revuelve el estómago. La explicación detrás de este bucle masoquista se encuentra en el secuestro de los mecanismos evolutivos de nuestra atención. El cerebro humano está programado para darle más peso a las amenazas y los estímulos negativos como una herramienta de supervivencia. Las corporaciones tecnológicas, conscientes de este sesgo, diseñaron algoritmos optimizados para servir de manera constante raciones gigantescas de indignación, enojo y confrontación, ya que son las únicas emociones capaces de romper el autocontrol y garantizar que las personas permanezcan atadas a la pantalla.

    La indignación pública se ha convertido en el nuevo motor de la economía de la atención. Al responder un mensaje hostil o participar en una linchamiento digital, el cerebro experimenta una falsa descarga de superioridad moral y dopamina que genera una adicción severa. El usuario se convierte en un cliente cautivo que necesita regresar diariamente por su dosis de adrenalina y malestar. Romper este círculo vicioso no es una cuestión de fuerza de voluntad individual, sino de arquitectura tecnológica. Al migrar hacia espacios libres y descentralizados como el Fediverso, donde los algoritmos de indignación o enganche no existen, el restaurante comercial quiebra. Solo recuperando el control de nuestro muro podemos elegir qué ideas consumir, dejando de alimentar de forma voluntaria a la industria del enojo digital.

  9. Indigenous Peoples’ Day

    Indigenous Peoples’ Day grew out of counter-celebrations against Columbus Day. Columbus Day itself didn’t become a national holiday until 1971, but it has been celebrated in various forms since the founding of the United States in the late 1700s. It grew out of the American tradition of celebrating the “explorers” who “discovered” this land – an absurd notion since Native people lived in North America for tens of thousands of years before any European “explorers” came here. But the Indigenous peoples of North America have always known this truth, and many of them have expressed it to those who would listen. Soon after Columbus Day was proclaimed a federal holiday, a number of Native American groups began suggesting the replacement of Columbus Day with a day celebrating Native people. In the 1990s, some municipalities took the decision to honor Indigenous peoples instead of Columbus, and further national recognition of the holiday came in the early 2020s after the Black Lives Matter movement and the George Floyd uprising caused more people to recognize the need to expand our awareness of racial groups and issues beyond Eurocentric and white. Of course, many conservatives have argued against any shifts in how we recognize history. Donald Trump has called the move to honor Indigenous Peoples’ Day “a vicious and merciless campaign to erase our history, slander our heroes, and attack our heritage.”

    All of that is nonsense. Recognizing Native American and other histories and cultures is not an attack on white history or culture. It is literally the least we can do, since recognition is far from adequate. Posting “Happy Indigenous Peoples’ Day!” on Facebook or a meme on Instagram does nothing to change the material conditions of Indigenous peoples or anyone else. The United States is built on land that our ancestors stole from the Native people who lived here. We must start from that understanding. 

    Sometimes people respond to this idea with the disingenuous comback, “Well, why don’t you go back to Europe then!” This is a strawman argument that no one is making. Native people are not saying, “White people in the United States, you must donate your homes to us and move back to Europe where your ancestors came from.” What they are asking is that all of us who make up the United States make our political, economic, and moral decisions from the understanding that this land has been unjustly taken. This means we cannot just honor Indigenous Peoples’ Day or do land acknowledgements at the start of events. 

    We must pursue a populist economic agenda that provides for the needs of all people in this nation – so that we all have housing, healthcare, and pre-K through university education. And we must go beyond that by pursuing policies that allow Native nations to maintain and grow their sovereignty and so that federal lands are managed and controlled by Native people. This agenda would benefit Indigenous peoples. And it would benefit all of us. 

    It is this combination of the general and specific – pursuing policies that are good for all working people while targeting the needs of individual groups – that will lead us all to liberation on Indigenous People’s Day and every day.

  10. Carnation – Symphony in Flesh Review By Kenstrosity

    Death metal is one of my favorite things on Earth. One of the coolest and most invigorating innovations in heavy music, death metal’s focus on rhythm, groove, heft, and serrated distortions in every instrument calls to something primal and primordial. Belgian five-banger Carnation understand that primal call perhaps too well, taking a classic formula that should’ve diminished significantly in returns by now and vitalizing it with piss, blood, and vinegar. Over the course of three consistently high-quality records they’ve defied every phenomenon of nature that kills with time. Fourth onslaught Symphony in Flesh poses yet another threat. What fresh hell awaits?

    WIOLENCE, that’s what! While Cursed Mortality took on a more dour character despite its tightened and streamlined songwriting, Symphony in Flesh is just mean. With no regard for human life and a complete lack of sympathy for the weak of body and will, Carnation reprises the punky and thrashy energies that imbued early works like Chapel of Abhorrence, while retaining the melodious flourish and smooth finish of Cursed Mortality. This in turn creates an interesting balance across 43 minutes of feral theatrics and viscous blood spatter. A wide array of songwriting tacks steadily shift Carnation’s sound as Symphony in Flesh’s runtime progresses. This strategy gives the whole a sense of dynamic movement and epic scale while dealing mortal blows left, right, top, and bottom—an apt representation of the album’s title. There’s no escape, and a gruesome death is guaranteed, but you’ll be transfixed on your way to your maker.

    Few things in life are better than a well-placed “BLEGH,” and what better place to “BLEGH” than right at the beginning? Thus, Symphony in Flesh unleashes with the stellar opener “Blackmouth,” instantly opening a yawning pit to hell in a barrage of caustic riffs and feverish double-bass grooves. This is everything that death metal should be in a nutshell, but Carnation make sure their recipe has extra sauce. Follow-up “Flesh-Eating Frenzy” might be the most fun I’ve had with the genre all year, boasting a nasty beat that whips my spine around like a proper flail. Big grooves that I now wholly associate with Carnation’s trademark riffing style characterize stomping offenses “Kingdom of Dreams” and “Boundless Pathways,” but thankfully don’t ape Carnation’s former iterations. Instead, they carve trenches for themselves deep in the whitewater current of blood and sinew that Symphony in Flesh disrespectfully gorged out of the flesh of the earth itself. Such irrigation then provides ample sustenance to support blackened tremolos and squawking melodies that personify “Twisted Visions” and the remarkably well-paced 11-minute closing epic “Legacy of the Forefathers.” This final expulsion itself is a testament to Carnation’s continuous improvement as songwriters. It shouldn’t work at all, and yet its encapsulation of everything that Symphony in Flesh exhibits into one visceral container guarantees a righteous pathway to this symphony’s glorious end.

    Carnation’s collective performance on Symphony in Flesh is fucking vicious. It’s rare that HM-2 death metal in the modern era tastes freshly killed as it did in the early days, but this does. Grotesque and writhing with guts, Symphony in Flesh is a monstrous record where guitars blaze everything to cinders and psychotic roars rattle every bone to dust. Drums pound muscle into slurry, and even the massively distorted and clunky bass tone makes quick work of tenderizing organ meat. There’s little to ask of Carnation here. Nonetheless, nitpicks arise. There’s an argument to be made against the merit of an albeit brief quietude in the back end of “Legacy of the Forefathers.” That couple of minutes and change could be cut out with no immediate danger to the whole. “Labyrinth of Silence,” while immensely groovy, also takes a little too long to kick into high gear. Even after trimming that section down, it’s still the “weakest” offering on the menu. Compared to its neighbors, it’s just a bit too lackluster to find its footing and fumbles the ball slightly. Thankfully, “Towards Death” scoops the ball right back up and shoves me back into the fray without any concern for my safety.

    Safety is overrated when the only thing that matters in life is death metal. Carnation understand this mantra, and embody it with Symphony in Flesh. Without changing the classic formula, Carnation embarrass an entire army of revivalists by being one of the only bands in the buzzsaw persuasion to feel alive and imminently dangerous. I fear for my life every time I spin this beastly thing, and I rarely feel such joy in conflation with that immutable survival instinct. Yet, I’m chomping at the bit for another taste!
