And while on the subject of genocide, how about ecocide?

Turns out, they have a LOT in common.

https://blackagendareport.com/if-we-respond-genocide-palestine-same-way-were-responding-climate-crisis-we-should-expect-many-more 

The climate “movement” and international human rights network will never address ecocide or genocide at scale until they become fully independent institutions that aren’t beholden to any political party, especially the Democrat party, or a philanthropic regime that will never allow for any organization it funds to advance an anti-capitalist agenda. Neoliberal political parties and pro capitalism philanthropists enjoin the climate “movement” from naming and dismantling the root causes of climate change - white “supremacy” ideology, patriarchy, and colonization (which is to say racial capitalism) in the same way they enjoin liberal human rights networks from naming and dismantling the root causes of the livestreamed genocide we are witnessing in Palestine - zionism, western imperialism, and colonialism.

This, in turn, results in far too many Institutions that make up the climate “movement” and the international human rights network fostering a culture of rationalization that permits the calamities of genocide and ecocide, as well an acceptance of the forces and actors driving both.  And worse yet, these institutions also conjure a culture of illusion by making people believe they are doing all in their power to dismantle genocidal war machines and fossil fuel cartels alike by clicking on a link to sign a petition or attending a one off rally bereft of concrete demands or an organizing methodology to advance these demands. All this is done to maintain the status quo of capitalism and white “supremacy” under the guise of “resistance.” The proof of this guise can be found in the fact that much like the climate “movement”  refuses to stipulate that their political/organizing support for any candidate or lawmaker is contingent on denying blood money from, or association with AIPAC, the human rights network refuses to stipulate that their political/organizing support is contingent on supporting comeuppance for perpetual human rights violations committed by fossil fuel cartel corporations.

 

More than genocide.

Never forget that ... no matter how horrible and reupugnant the crime is ...

... The crime is still a crime.

And that there will never be justice as long as the West dictate the bullying terms to the rest of the World.

When the bodies of starving children in Gaza reach a ‘point of no return’

Children in Gaza have begun to die of severe malnutrition in increasing numbers as Israel continues to starve the people of Gaza. Infants are the most severely affected, as hunger devours their bodies until they reach "a point of no return."

 

RIP Ozzy.

The original voice of Heavy Metal has finally met his maker.

Thank you Ozzy for being that voice, for so long. 

RIP Malcolm Jamal Warner.

A part of my growing up has died.

His Theo Huxtable character on the The Cosby Show was part of that.

He was so relatable. I almost felt like if I ever met Malcolm in person, he'd be chill.

 

My condolences to his family. Tragic way to go. 

Seattle before the storm.


That is, the storm of layoffs.

Not a pleasant week coming.

The last of the few hundred or so who were told their jobs were ending,  are being exited out the employment door this week.

It can be said choices in life are all about more or less.

Not in this case.

A brave 12.

https://mondoweiss.net/2025/07/30-countries-announce-israel-sanctions-and-renewed-legal-action-to-end-gaza-genocide/

In a historic gathering, 12 countries announce Israel sanctions and renewed legal action to end Gaza genocide

Meeting in Bogotá, Colombia, representatives of Bolivia, Cuba, Indonesia, Iraq, Libya, Malaysia, Namibia, Nicaragua, Oman, and South Africa announced sanctions against Israel to cut the flow of weapons facilitating genocide and war crimes in Gaza.
 

 

Fucking up other countries is what the West does best.

Take this example:

Everything else is just narrative control. 

Crapitalism is the cancer of human civilization. It feeds on it like a cancer, perpetually growing until it too has died.

Called into a department-wide meeting on why the company is increasing in-office attendance requirements ...

... I would normally find it amusing that the actual meeting to discuss this, is fully digital because of the inability to find open conference rooms ... in said office.

Quote of the day - 07-15-2025.

 

 Caitlin Johnstone

The Israel apologists have lost the argument. They might not know it yet, but they have. Public sentiment has turned irreversibly against them as people’s eyes are opened to the truth of what’s happening in Gaza, and more and more propagandists are choosing to rescue what’s left of their tattered credibility instead of going down with the sinking ship.

Truth is slowly beginning to get a word in edgewise.

 

Along with Israel, the other dangerous external arm of US Imperialism is NATO.
