And yet nobody sells a CK Halloween mask. It’s such a disappointment.

Recording an EP, going to lots of concerts, writing for a couple of magazines, working at a coffee shop, drinking too much, living in a little studio apartment, binding books with salvaged leather from roadside furniture.

Original instagram was a lot of fun. They ruined it of course.

Rubiks cube.

Antikythera mechanism?

It’s all based around fractional reserve lending and interest. Banks take in deposits and lend several times the deposit amount at interest against that reserve. To pay back the bank the business sector has to grow in order to pay interest on the principal. Make sense?

I’ve finally given up on Casio. My new g-shock is made of a lower temp plastic that is easily damaged from cooking. The glass isn’t nearly as durable as previous models. Plus the Bluetooth sync requires a terrible app and EULA. I’ve literally worn g-shocks for decades.

It’s an easy decision: learn how to manage your emotions or starve.

I try to read an equal amount of theory and history as I do news. Context is everything. When you read about these bastards doing evil deeds, read too about Mussolini hanging from a bridge. I enjoy learning about coups perpetrated by the CIA last century (there’s 70 of them) and all the horrendous fallout it caused so that I can taunt nationalists with facts about the nature of the empire that they’re only just now recognizing.

News is only a part of the process. Theory, praxis, cadre, in equal parts.

SAKO TRG 22/42 A1 a good home defense tool for light sleepers.

Capitalism is going to kill us all if we don’t kill it first.

There’s a novella by Ursula K Leguin called The Ones Who Walk Away from Omelas wherein there is a utopian society that is able to exist because of the misery of one child who endures all of the hardship and sadness of the society. NK is that child for the world. They are kept like a specimen in a cabinet of curiosities warning everyone against communism, making the “free” in the West thankful for what modicum of freedom they’ve managed to preserve.

Yes, I built a company from nothing over the past decade and it’s all I can do now to make myself go into the shop and do what I used to love to do.

The only thing that has helped is dedicated, disciplined study of political theory and history combined with direct action informed by that knowledge with a group of similarly-minded revolutionaries. Let this radicalize you, not lead you to despair.

A political ideology with cult-like tendencies.

In the US in 2025 it bears a strong resemblance to a hobby at times. No shade intended either. I’m a card-carrying member myself.

Communism. There’s iconography, a separate way of using language, chanting, gatherings, books, meetings, clothing, hero mythology, doomsday plans of a revolution not unlike a rapture, and in some sects there are charismatic leaders and polyamory.

Oh interesting. Tell us about your time in Iran.

Yeah fuck that. We’re throwing the cliff people off the cliff. Y’all can keep playing these stupid games.
