"But who would be making medication without a profit incentive???" has to be one of the least thought-out most brainrotten takes out there.

It's not CEOs developing new medication, it's scientists, researchers, engineers, lab technicians doing the actual work.

It's not investors mass-producing medication, it's factory workers, operators, everyone across the production and logistical chain making sure those medications are manufactured and delivered.

Meanwhile CEOs, investors, shareholders do nothing but extract the profits of the workers' labor and get in the way of any innovation that doesn't meet their desired profit incentives.

Workers could still accomplish the same without CEOs or investors taking a cut. In fact, they'd do it even better in a society where research isn't slowed by restrictive intellectual property laws and patent trolling.

Capitalism has truly colonized some people's imaginations.

I regularly see posts by older liberals that still lament the loss of what they think was working before Trump. They continue to write as though the economy and government were largely okay and that it was Trump that broke things. That's the problem with the #Democrat Party and liberals in the US, especially the older demographic that were fairly comfortable in their retirements. For them, it worked well enough that they could ignore the fundamental injustices. Their take seems to be "Yes, but it mostly worked. It was mostly stable. We improve things gradually over time. If it hasn't been working for you, just work harder, wait your turn, trust us, it'll get better for you." For these folks the #US as formulated isn't broken and #capitalism works.

That's the problem of the white middle class. Howard Zinn documented in A People's History that even before the signing of the Declaration of Independence the ruling class were planning to use the middle class.

Wag the Dog, #Venezuela: #Democrats Must Relentlessly Expose #Trump

Rep Seth Moulton & Sen Ruben Gallego are leading the way responding to Trump’s unconstitutional, int #war crimes

But Venezuela, #ICE, #Epstein, tariffs, Trump’s billionaire-fluffing, are all of a piece. So the broader narrative goes like this

The result of a consistent and total substitution of lies for factual truth is not that the lie will now be accepted as truth and truth be defamed as a lie, but that the sense by which we take our bearings in the real world—and the category of truth versus falsehood is among the mental means to this end—is being destroyed.

英國《BBC》製作和播放的長壽劇集《Silent Witness》，今年二月播出第 29 季，而在日前播出的最新一集，當中有一段提到黎智英、流亡港人。

在該集劇集中，一名流亡港人女子，形容自己因為爭取自由被威脅、通輯，而她做過的只是策劃示威要求釋放黎智英。劇集角色又在討論中形容，黎智英是香港富商和和平的民主倡議者，他留在香港為自由而戰，但被港府被家中帶走再單獨囚禁，該名流亡港人女子又指自己不介意留下 DNA 樣本，日後認屍都較方便。

QUEER NIHILISM

I have written a new essay (an hour of your time) which discusses "queer nihilism" or an anti-politics (that is, something against the politics of this world) of wild desire.

It is from a work in progress which is focusing on "the wild" as an alternative to our civilisations of death and oppression, a theorisation of anarchy.

It will interest those who have an interest in an alternative politics - and an alternative to politics - queer theory, nihilism, anarchism and all anti-civilisationalists.

#Poland urges officials to ditch #Signal for state-run messaging apps

Let's start the week with a simple message from UN Women.

Stop telling women how to live their life!

The continued focus of the media on telling women what to do reflects a wide-spread sexism in global societies.... it won't be stoped abruptly, but behind much prejudice is this assumed male right.

So, my friends, if you find yourself telling a women how to live their life ask yourself: have I the right to be offering unasked-for 'guidance' or 'advice'?
