one of the subtler benefits I’ve noticed in reclaiming my own music library is I can put on a new album and there can be a vibe change part way through without leaving me wondering whether it’s still the album or if it’s finished and switched over to algorithmic feed.

turns out constant vigilance for the algorithm is really shit for the enjoyment of art!

I’ve been working on a free tool to validate the signed status of PDFs. It’s been quite a slog since Adobe’s spec can be boiled down to “whatever we want,” kind of like the App Store.

true. And if he read the constitution and understood how the rules are shaped by it, he wouldnt have went to jail. Peaceful isnt in the constitution. Grammar matters. Protest are nothing but traps and a waste of time. If you want change you actually have to get your hands dirty and if busted go to jail for a real reason, not for showing off for social media.

Coming soon from subMedia in collaboration with Peter Gelderloos, the third and final installment of It’s Revolution or Death Part 3: Reclaiming the World, Wherever We Stand.

Parts 1 and 2 examined the failures of state and capitalist solutions to the climate crisis as well as revolutionary movements of people defending the planet. Part 3 seeks to provide helpful insights and experience for newer anarchists who are just getting started organizing around the climate crisis and building methods of transformative survival.

If you haven’t already check out parts 1 and 2 at sub.media/its-revolution-or-de… and sub.media/its-revolution-or-de…

Or, better yet, get ready to find a place and screen all three parts together with your friends and comrades!

As Trump defunds Planned Parenthood, it's a good time to look at histories of abortion struggles that reject the government and major institutions and instead build feminist popular power from below, including the ability to conduct abortions and other reproductive care.

In my 2024 article “'To Repulse the State from Our Uteri': Anarcha-feminism, Reproductive Freedom, and Dual Power” I analyze how anarcha-feminists critiqued the state and attempted to build feminist dual power in response to the New Right’s attacks on reproductive freedom.

From the 1970s to today, anarcha-feminists have sought to build grassroots infrastructure, knowledge, and organizations like self-help groups in which they learn how to conduct abortions and other reproductive care, thus taking back power from the state and medical industry.

Women’s capacity to care for their own bodies and reproduction materially lessens state power. Establishing grassroots reproductive health care infrastructure is a key component of building autonomy and feminist dual power that challenges the rule of the state and capitalism.

Tampa banner drop tells Turning Point USA (TPUSA) to GTFO

On the 7th of July, a banner drop in Tampa, FL warned TPUSA to get the fuck out of Tampa, which would require them to cancel their upcoming convention

On the 12th of July, Turning Point USA will be meeting in Tampa FL for a series of "Summits." This is Charlie Kirk's dangerous group of Fascists. When they were at the Tampa Convention Center in 2022, they even drew people in Nazi uniform with swastika flags. This was just weeks after Dobbs, and told me we were in for a very rough ride.

how do you reduce the risk of a lithium ion battery fire?
* never tinker with a battery;
* only use certified, manufacturer-approved batteries and chargers;
* keep it in sight while it charges;
* if you notice anything out of the ordinary — strange odours, discolouration, excessive heat, change in shape, leaking or odd noises — stop using it and contact the manufacturer.

Video: ICE agents brandish rifles, drive through protesters at S.F. immigration court

Immigration agents clashed protesters, who were trying to stop an arrest at the courthouse, in San Francisco’s most violent ICE encounter of 2025.

They're not illegal immigrants.

They're the living breathing consequences of the united states destabilizing other countries' economies and governments.

They're the human toll of this country exploiting and fucking over its neighboring countries.

They're the humans discarded by the violence of richer, more powerful countries treating the world like its personal toilet, and its personal grab bag for resources, labor, business interests, and military strategic interests.

What you call illegal immigrants are the people who had their homes ripped up and destroyed to feed the maws of countries like the united states who take whatever the fuck they want because they have wealth and and a mountain of guns and bombs backing them up.

They aren't illegal immigrants. They're the victims of fucking bullies who live behind the militarized borders of countries full of callous, selfish assholes like the united states.

They aren't illegal immigrants. They're a living testament to the fact that you're comfortable with your life, skimming off of the lives of people with less power than you, and you don't have the will or desire to face the impact of that reality face to face.

Because you have a nation full of militarized thugs to keep you from facing reality.

To keep the living human consequences that you won't face behind borders drawn on a map, enforced with guns and concentration camps.

You're a coward.

I tested out the GrapheneOS Browser and Brave to see if it is an APP or OS issue causing the battery drain

GrapheneOS only seems to have a battery drain with brave browser. The GrapheneOS browser will honor the RESTRICTED battery mode setting. Brave will continue to run in the background in RESTRICTED mode and reduce your battery life

Brave just runs forever and says FU LOL

@OneEyeKing I believe Epstein Island is a joint CIA/Mossad operation to blackmail politicians to do their and Israels bidding as they have ever since Kennedy's assassination. I don't think Trumps sudden conversion to Judaism has anything to do with his daughters marrying a Jew, people with any serious religious persuasions aren't going to switch faiths because of who their daughers marry. I think far more likely it was because Mossad has videos of him diddling a kiddling.l

“[Striking workers] shut off the water from the outside and then parked their car over the valve [to prevent it being turned back on]. It’s not legal activity… they breached the fence, they came in and started taking trash from dumpsters and compactors and throwing it on the floor.”
