The Borowitz Report reflects ongoing bad news for Trump in truly icky, funny, satire:

"New Poll Reveals Trump Less Popular Than Explosive Diarrhea"

It's no surprise because Trump's Psychophantic Toadies & already have the shoes
They all live in Trump's Bizarro World-as long as they can all profit from it

Today in History August 6, 1945: The B-29 Enola Gay dropped an atomic bomb on Hiroshima, immediately killing 70,000 children, women and male civilians. Tens of thousands more died in subsequent decades from radiation-induced illnesses. Nagasaki got the same two days later. However, today’s nuclear weapons are far more powerful and the U.S. has 5,800 of them, enough to obliterate the planet several times over. Russia has 6,375, and China has 320. And let’s not forget Israel’s nukes, as they draw the U.S. closer to putting boots on the ground in Iran. Or India and Pakistan’s, as shooting skirmishes flare up every few years in Kahsmir. Or North Korea’s. Or France’s and UK’s.

Oh, we will all char together when we char
And let there be no moaning of the bar
Just sing out a tedium when you see that I-C-B-M
And the party will be "come as you are”

RIP Tom Lehrer

New: police are being explicitly told to hide the fact they're using Flock to pull people over and arrest them. Basically, do not mention this in official police reports.

If the tech is completely legal and acceptable, like law enforcement say, why hide it?

I recently watched these two videos by a chemical process engineer and found them super educational, interesting, rational, and well explained. They might also be useful for people organizing action against data center construction projects elsewhere..

Is everyone aware of the General Motors streetcar conspiracy?

In the mid-20th century, auto and oil interests bought up electric streetcar systems across the US and systematically replaced them with bus routes and paved roads, funneling commuters toward private cars.

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 me about...) @bennjordan

Benn's click bait video "Gadgets For People Who Don't Trust The Government" totally worked (and the thumbnail helped!) This geek porn clip masterfully embedded intro to anarchism bits interspersed the different gadgets Benn talked about. I wish many anarchist propagandists took a cue from Benn and started making media outside the anarchist ghetto.

You made it this far down my grumpy old man rant? Then share this clip with your nerdy cousin and save him from becoming just another far right troll.

Even one of tRump’s former White House aides is calling it out. Sarah Matthews says the administration is gaslighting its own supporters on the economy. Lower prices and peace were the pitch. Self-inflicted chaos is what they delivered.

😳 RFK Jr's epic CNN crashout 😳

Dana Bash pressed RFK Jr on Trump's culpability for mishandling covid and the misinformation he pushes about vaccines, and the segment wound down with him getting mad and barking at her like a rabid dog
