I suppose this is more than the meme of guys just wanna talk about rome or whatever that thing was. There are parts in there that I kinda agree with but parts that I don't. I find positions like this to be very weird because what if I enjoy reading WH40K? I kinda agree that we are all hyper connected and our experiences are becoming more homogeneous but I guess you could say that about many points in history. This also is written in that 'hyper capitalist way of continues improvement is the only way to live' kinda way. Seriously is someone about to jump out at me and yell "you've been punk'd!" A old reference for anyone who knows.

A few days ago I finished reading Persepolis and reading your post feels like an updated version of that. Hell some of the things you mentioned are exactly the same as in the comic. I mention this only because that comic even though it is only one persons perspective of the situation really provided much needed context for me on whats going on in Iran and how things are there.

Also since I am watching Fulci's zombi films I might throw this one onto the list because I haven't seen it in ages.

If more people were aware of this then I think they would be better able to evaluate a claim.

Found this dude called yellowman and he is really cool. Also got into sister nancy and cutty ranks . Gonna see how this goes but its kinda cool digging into a completely different genre than the usual stuff.

USA wants oil and they have used the cover of drug cartels operating out of Venezuela as a means of waging war against the country. Something along those lines. Im sure there is more nuance but at this point does it really matter when it comes to the US government.

I got massively into burpees during covid so I added multiple extra movements to them to make it more difficult.
So I guess do 100 navy seal burpees. here is a link to how to do it.

Its been a while since iv watched James and this feels like a good video to get back into his stuff.
edit: great video but I did think that maybe the bean character could have been names Sean. I dunno if that's too much of a stretch reference to Sean Bean.

I might have to rewatch it again because there was some stuff near the end that is related to biodiversity loss that touches on how we value the natural world.

Also you really have to give a damn about the framing of an issue to get the benefit of seeing it from both sides. These days I'll just look at 3 big news sources that I know have opposite biases and take it from there.
Also I noticed a lot of stories just came from associated press so I guess just read them.

I have seen some of the alternatives that were linked in the post so I will most likely give them another look. Saying that I am actually considering upgrading my bearblog because I do like that platform and it seems like a nice space.

Assuming this piece was really more her voice and not a publicist or whoever is in charge of this kinda stuff talking I found it very interesting. I might subscribe to her stack.*
*is that the way people refer to subscribing to substack?
I suppose its control for controls sake. I think its a mental illness and they just need it to feel or to function. I dunno it's difficult to try and get into that mindset. I'm basing this on my experience of addiction. I used to have a drinking problem way back in the day and even though I knew it was bad for me I still kept drinking because it was who I was and so tied to my identity that I couldn't stop. I am most likely wrong or partially right but thats kinda how I frame these people logic for myself.
