Those viral videos of the Boston Dynamics gyroscopic robot dog are always fun and whacky until you remember the company is explicitly developing the robot for military use.

Only by overthrowing capitalism can we apply this sentiment universally, to all people and to each person. Overwork is a byproduct of an economic system that prioritizes profits over people. With the smart use of democratic planning, automation, and economic reorganization, toiling our lives away to make someone else rich could become a thing of the past.
Workers of the world, unite!
Study after study shows that the 40 hour workweek is inefficient and damaging to one’s health. Funny how the class that profits off of our exploitation and abuse doesn’t want to hear that, and tend to continue glorifying unethical and unsafe work practices that union members literally died for us to escape.

Besides that Elon says complete bullshit, it’s a lot harder to change the world on 40 hours of work BECAUSE YOU’RE SO FUCKING TIRED FROM WORKING.
They fact that he phrases this as an “easy way of working” holy fuck fuck off you prick

It’s still pretty likely I’m going to get this job, but the company lost its entire HR department in this state, so it all has to be handled by HR in another state which means middle of December is the earliest they’ll even look at my application 😩

since people are also mentioning enclosure to me now re: private property being “human nature”, I want to elaborate on that.
enclosure was a legal process in the 16th century of forcibly restricting commonly owned land to the owner. marx argued this was part of the transition from feudalism to capitalism, changing land from the use of survival to profit in a market, which created a class of wage-laborers. there were a lot of movements against enclosure.
this is indeed a good example of private property not being a part of “human nature”, but a forceful process resisted by many. private property continues to this day to be defended in violent means. its history is about as “voluntary” as a robbery.

…In the end, Billie Holiday’s insistence on performing “Strange Fruit” may have been responsible for her demise.
One of the primary attempts to silence her came from a man named Harry Anslinger, the first commissioner for the Federal Bureau of Narcotics, and an extreme racist, even for the 1930s. As Johann Hari details in Chasing the Scream: The First and Last Days of the War on Drugs, Anslinger claimed that narcotics made black people forget their place in the fabric of American society, and that jazz musicians were dangerous in particular, creating “Satanic” music under the influence of marijuana.
Holiday, who throughout her career called public attention to the devastating impact of white supremacy, was also a drug user. She drew Anslinger’s notice, and he ordered Holiday to cease performing the song. Holiday refused, and Anslinger ramped up his efforts to silence her.
After one of Anslinger’s men was paid to track Holiday and frame her with buying and using heroin, she spent eighteen months in prison. Upon her release in 1948, the federal government refused to renew her cabaret performer’s license, mandatory for any performer playing or singing at any club or bar serving alcohol.
This utterly undermined her career. Although Holiday was able to perform multiple sold-out Carnegie Hall performances over the next several years, she could no longer travel the nightclub circuit.
Unable to perform regularly at the venues she loved, and to stop remembering a childhood that included being raped at age ten, and working in a brothel with her mother, Holiday eventually began using heroin again. When she checked into a New York hospital in 1959, her liver was failing and cancerous. She was emaciated, and her heart and lungs were compromised. Despite her condition, she didn’t want to stay there. “They’re going to kill me. They’re going to kill me in there. Don’t let them,” she presciently told friends and family.
Indeed, Anslinger’s men, sensing a macabre opportunity, showed up at her hospital bedside, handcuffed her to the bed, took mugshots, removed giftsthat people had brought to the room—flowers, radio, record player, chocolates, magazines—and stationed two cops at the door.
Even so, as doctors began methadone treatment, Holiday began to improve, gaining some weight and improving slowly. But then Anslinger’s men prevented hospital staff from administering any further methadone. She succumbed to death within days.
The only surviving filmed version of Holiday performing the song is from the British cabaret television show, “Chelsea At Nine,” recorded February 25, 1959 and released in March of the same year, just a few months before she died. Her voice is strong and impressive; the raw emotion simply devastating.
From their infancy in the US, drug laws and enforcement have been about controlling and murdering Black people.
the title is weird considering the article says exactly who killed her

mother nature stepped in on this too because just the other week a tourist died climbing Uluru. leave it alone.
isabella-study
This is off-topic for my blog but here are three reasons why you shouldn’t climb Uluru:
- it’s dangerous, people have died climbing it and many more have been injured.
- it damages the rock, you can see where the trail is because of all the wear and because there’s obviously no bathrooms on top there’s a whole lot of rubbish, used toilet paper and tampons on top further ruining the environment for future generations.
- THE TRADITIONAL OWNERS HAVE ASKED YOU NOT TOO. Imagine if people were climbing, shitting on and leaving used tampons on a site significant to you (a church, war memorial, a place of cultural significance i.e. the Louvre.
I will also add that there’s plenty of other stuff to do around there: a tour about the cultural significance of Uluru and the surrounding area, a walk around the rock and watching sunrise and sunset on the rock.
Also btw it’s called Uluru not Ayer’s Rock now.
Aboriginal elders in conjunction with the Australian government are taking away the rope that allows people to free climb and starting guided tours around the region telling people about the origin stories that make Uluru so sacred to them. They want your tourism! They want to share their stories! They do NOT want you to clamber over and damage their ancestors.

My brother has an infected tooth, I was able to get him 800 dollars of my own money and now I’m broke as shit, but he still needs $300 to get his tooth fixed, he’s in a lot of pain and I just don’t have the money to help him
for those of you who don’t know you absolutely can die from an infected tooth and I’m pretty fucking worried because he hasn’t been able to do anything lately and the ER wont do anything about it because it’s dental and the dentists wont do shit because the insurance wont cover it.
anyway if you want to donate to help my little brother you can donate here: https://www.paypal.com/cgi-bin/webscr?cmd=_s-xclick&hosted_button_id=VJUSN8YLMJ2TN&source=url
if not thanks for your patience and consideration.
I think Canadians are almost disgusting because they not only carry the European pretentiousness that’s like “wew racism doesn’t exist in Europe ;)” they also have this sense of thinking that they’re genuinely kind and polite as a people like u mfers are all settlers first of all

This is late, but I hope that today trans people will find some comfort in the writing of trans women that has been published in this series. And I hope that everyone who isn’t a trans person struggling with the loss of their trans siblings will finally refuse to fetishize our deaths by thinking of us only as numbers and tragic fates and that they will read our work, take us seriously as artists and visionarie and as ordinary people struggling to live our lives, and perhaps even change their lives to act in ways that help us survive.
