  • This is probably the 5th or 6th time I've mentioned this album in the past two weeks, but the Panopticon album Kentucky is about the coal miners in Harlan County.

  • Bruh they're just warming up.

    A couple street executions here, a detainment and (separate) FBI search of journalists there to gauge public response. They'll adjust their approach, improve their propaganda and continue dismantling communities.

    They're deep into abducting and concentrating innocent people including children They will continuously escalate their brutal and violent responses to resistance.

    They demanded voting records. They aren't stopping with immigrants and they're taking the first steps toward cataloging the opposition.

    Trump is not in charge. He is the distraction, the orange herring providing cover for the likes of Stephen Miller, Russell Vought and other focused, effective organizations operating in the background. The true consequences of the dozens of executive orders Trump auto-penned in his first months have hardly kicked in yet.

    We're just reaching the second quarter.

  • Tax-exempt status is one I can think of. I had a similar idea for the Church of Labor. Beliefs are unionization, community solidarity and mutual aid. Get the government to subsidize workers organizing.

  • Why are we focused in water balloons when condoms exist? Are they too resilient?

    Piss into a condom then squeeze it down into the tip until you have a happy medium between bursting pressure and throwability.

    Tie it off like a water balloon, then tie an additional knot (or double knot) a few millimeters higher. Repeat process until you have a bandolier of piss-filled condom balloons.

    You can separate them ahead of time or keep it intact depending on situation. Either way, I recommend a styrofoam cooler or other easily disposable hard-walled transport vessel.

    This method allows you to customize the caliber of ammunition as well as providing a simple method for multiple contributors.

  • Panopticon's album Kentucky. Still hoping to see the level of solidarity and mutual aid those Appalachian coal miners embodied.

  • Hell yeah Black Brick fucks

  • Germany is currently my top choice. I've been struggling with beginning the process of learning the language but found the VHS course/apps today and had an Anki card deck I finally looked at this week. Job hunting is tough. Engineer with 1.5 years of experience is a touch too entry-level it seems. Studying for a Master's is on the table too, but there's a lot of moving parts regardless of what route I take. Wish me luck.

  • I heard it starved to death, actually.

  • I know what I'm watching this weekend

  • Animals as Leaders is my brain go brrrr music. Metal and instrumental are the best.

  • You can’t start a strike if you don’t have a union and your co-workers don’t agree

    This is a major point that those outside of the US seem to miss, I think. The sheer depth of contempt for unions and unionization I've experienced is a massive barrier to organizing any significant resistance. I'm very certain a majority of US citizens are unaware of what a general strike even looks like. Corporate propaganda has very successfully vilified and diminished unions for a long time.

  • "A few years"

    The movie is a decade old and the novel is nearly a legal adult. I'm already feeling attacked and I haven't even broken my fast.

  • Time for some pretty easy math; if 93,000,000 scans cause 103,000 cancer diagnoses, what percentage of scans cause cancer?

    Its 0.11%. Each scan has a 0.11% chance of causing cancer. Thats slighty more than a 1 in 1000 chance for each scan.

    Now, 93000000 and 103000 look like large scary numbers but when you're comparing populations every number is likely to be large and scary. The absolute magnitude is meaningless; the important information lies in their proportion.

  • Who do you think ruined Boeing?

  • More people need to learn about Appalachian coal miners and/or listen to Panopticon's album Kentucky.
