    The American writer Kurt Vonnegut had a different take in his Address to the Graduating Class of Bennington College in 1970:

    "...I wish I could bring light to the end of your tunnels today. My wife begged me to bring you light, but there IS no light. Everything is going to be unimaginably worse, and never get better again. If I lied to you about that, you'd sense that I'd lied to you, and that would be another cause for gloom.We have enough causes for gloom."

    I must say that, since having read that in 1974, I think he has been largely correct. His remedy, such as it was, was "skylarking," which he said means to have "an intolerable lack of seriousness" in US Navy legal parlance, where skylarking is a punishable offence. So while Tisdall's option remains my preference due to my perceived lack of choice, I also urge skylarking upon you. More skylarking. Enjoy life.

    Posted to provide a record of many of the crappy things we face right now, in one lump, so that we have a reference point. You'll thank the Guardian's Simon Tisdall for this later.

    Tisdall has a simple remedy. What do I know? He may be right. Nobody else seems to have a better idea.

    Ordinary people of the world, UNITE! You have nothing to lose but your chains!

    Blue skies and decently warm weather here on Canada's left coast. We're all delighted to be alive. So here's an analysis to deal with THAT problem.

    But relax. Breathe easy. The Guardian's Simon Tisdall suggests that #OrdinaryPeople can save the day.

  5. Excellent interview by Nima Alkhorshid with Seyed Mohammad Marandi on US and Iran. Marandi has become my primary source of news and thought on the conflict.

    At 48:20 Marandi brings up a recent Lancet Journal article about Western sanctions from 1971 to 2021 have lead to the deaths of 38 million people across the world. That does not count the number of people killed by the US and Western allies in offensive wars (ongoing and neverending Imperialism led by the US).

    Don't ever doubt, the US is an evil empire. We should not attempt to pretend otherwise. If you've been under the delusion that the US and those Western allies are somehow the good guys on the planet get your head out of your ass and take a look at reality. (I'm staring hard here at the comfortable white liberals of the US middle class.)

  11. "While American tech billionaires fret over the capabilities of Chinese AI, one national security advisor has a brilliant idea to flatten the competition: simply bomb their data centers to smithereens.

    In a new report titled “Superpowers and AGI,” former Obama-era national security official Jacob Stokes calls for United States to begin preparing readiness drills in response to Chinese AI development — up to and including military strikes on the nation’s data centers, the South China Morning Post reported.

    AGI, or artificial general intelligence, refers to the theoretical point at which an AI model achieves human, or superhuman, levels of reasoning and intelligence. Though the science is still out on whether such a system is even possible, Stokes’ report begins from the assumption that AGI is inevitable, and that if the US can’t get to it first, its military needs to prepare to take drastic action.

    Referring to the US as a hypothetical “laggard state” behind China’s achievement of AGI, Stokes — now the deputy director of the Indo-Pacific Security Program at the Center for a New American Security, a prominent DC think tank — writes that the country could “try to sabotage the leading state’s AGI systems, either through physical infiltration or offensive cyber operations; that is, cyberattack.”"

    “On the 25th Anniversary Of 9/11, Remember That Al Qaeda Is ‘On Our Side’”

    “During the upcoming anniversary of 9/11, expect Zionists & warmongers to attempt to connect Al Qaeda and the attack to anti-war and #Palestine #solidarity activists.

    But in reality, Al Qaeda and its splinter groups, such as #ISIS, have historically had a much closer relationship to the deep states of the US, U.K and Israel than they have to the anti-imperialist and anti-Zionist resistance”

  22. "Trump doesn't need to be "mad" to attack your country. Trump attacked Canada over its wildfires, accusing Canada of polluting America's air:
    (...)
    But even if Trump never gets mad at you, that's no guarantee of safety. Trump is not long for this world, and his death or incapacity is no guarantee of the restoration of a "normal" America. And even if America finds its way to "normal" after Trump, that's no guarantee that it will stay normal. The armed, organized maniacs who have seized power in America and who are cheering him on as he rampages all over the world, kidnapping leaders and dropping bombs on schoolchildren are not going to dig a hole, crawl inside it, and pull the dirt down on top of themselves.

    But let's say that we find ourselves in the best of worlds, where American fascism is comprehensively defeated and the country embarks on a years-long program of denazification:
    (...)
    Even in that amazing future, the world should still race to build a post-American internet. The world should have built that internet after the Snowden revelations. That ghastly failure created the Trumpian internet. If the post-Trump internet isn't a post-American internet, then it'll only be a matter of time until the next crisis comes along, and the coming years will give Big Tech even more chances to worm its tendrils into the world's governments, firms and households, making that crisis be even harder to survive. The best time to act was 13 years ago, after Snowden. The second best time is now."

  27. #GloriaSteinem is a #litmus test. An easy measure of political position, in this case separating #feminism from #imperialism.

    #Steinem didn't just work for a #CIA front: she ran one. She described the CIA as:"liberal, nonviolent & honorable". That's not just 3 lies in 3 words; it's an erasure of the horrors which CIA proxies & regimes inflicted on millions of women from Chile to Indonesia.

    Steinem paved the way for Bush's regime to market invasions as pro-women.

    Gloria in execrable deo. 😡
