with your support, Halloween can win the war on Christmas
let unlimited ghastly apparitions haunt the yuletide world
denying it the forgetting of its many crimes

Americans still aren’t ready for a true unifier

I believe the regulatory power of the NLRB has expanded some during his tenure. At the same time, however, Biden heavy-handedly intervened in the rail strike, the Federal Reserve has manipulated interest rates to “discipline labor”, and Biden’s sanctions and tariffs exploit rifts in the international solidarity of workers while failing to substantially increase production or employment domestically. The Juduciary are also making moves to weaken the NLRB and other regulatory bodies, and the Executive and Congress are not using their substantial powers to stand up to them.

The claims are cherry-picked bullshit, is what I’m saying

Cast it into the fire! Destroy it!

Modern industrial sewing machines are generally still powered by a belt that passes through the table, though now the belt leads instead to a large servo motor slung to the table’s underside. But that does leave the machine heads more-or-less compatible with the old treadle tables

28% of an oligarch’s flesh can be lethal if it’s the right cut.

Oh, it’s not a tax in kind? Never mind then.

It takes a capitalist bank to do something as stupid as loaning billions of dollars to some guy

Firefox disabled it at one point, guess it came back into their good graces when my eye wasn’t on the matter. But firefox is selling out it’s users in other ways now

Librewolf not only allows uBlock Origin, but AdNauseam (which Firefox blocked). And AdNauseam has Ublock Origin built into it nowadays.

I’m surprised they’re even testing, much less made people mask after a positive. On brand for neoliberals to take half-measures too late but only because it’s an investment on the line

Hitler Reacts to Biden Dropping Out

Yes, and you say the Democratic Party considers this election the most important of our lifetimes despite the fact that the wavering in the party is obviously top-down

Cult of Mammon going strong

Plastics are a byproduct of fossil fuel production, and it was and is inevitable (under capitalism) that the overproduction of plastic would lead to the manufactured demand for massive amounts of plastic goods. There was a major marketing push in the 1950s to sell consumers on the disposability of plastic, to create further demand by erasing their Great Depression/wartime-era habits of saving and reusing. There are many examples of successful campaigns to put the masses on cheap garbage, like corn syrup, that people would not have been drawn to spontaneously. These things work.

Fossil fuel companies are major centers of political power, with deep military-industrial ties, easily acquiring politicians and regulators, and encircling any stubborn holdouts. Something major would have to displace them to free up the kind of political oxygen needed for any serious effort to end plastic’s invasive presence in our lives.

A decolonial not-for-profit military answerable to a socialist state could dislodge them, and I don’t think anything less could.

Had a childhood crush on Dr. Crusher, but maturity has brought me a middle aged crush on Pulaski. Wish they’d had some guest appearances by her after season 2.
