One truly mind-blowing thing about the ICE invading cities is how •little• actual violence there’s been against ICE agents. Observing, filming, making noise, warning neighbors? Yes. Violence, physical assault? Hardly any. At the level of people throwing snowballs.
Imagine, just imagine, the kind of principled self-restraint it takes for basically the entire population to respond to all this ongoing terrorizing and kidnapping following the constitutional principles that these agents themselves are flouting.
Cities? Cities are bastions of peace if you ask me.
I have a test case for libscopehal that has recently started failing in the GitHub CI environment with a SIGSEGV.
The same test, run on any of my machines, passes even when run under asan.
Anybody have ideas on how to debug? The limited visibility into the CI environment is annoying, I can't like ssh in and run gdb or something.
Following only some news, the world essentially is on fire because an aging, most probably dement, narcissist switched from doing politics as TV show to moving tin soldiers in a sandbox and stirring up everything every hour.
Is there really no mechanism to declare Trump unfit for office and strip him from all commanding powers?

If you are an anti-fascist, you are against petroleum. Petroleum funds fascism globally. It is at the heart of the military industrial complex driving global imperialism, from both the US and Russia. Motonormitivity is fascist, both in it's elitist roots and in it's ties to historical fascism (Hitler hated bikes, just on principle). Oil is militarism.
Oil is the dominant resource which drives war, both in terms of it being the primary spoil wars are fought over and in terms of fueling the military vehicles and weapons that carry out those wars. Practically every war since (and including) WWII has been over oil. Genocides are carried out to secure oil. Gaza is over oil, in more ways than one.
Oil is the absolute enemy, and AI is simply an extension of that: an attempt to atomize us so we can't resist the oil-centric global order, one last grasp at the control over our lives oil has given to those whose power is now threatened by a solar punk future.
"I haven't written for a few weeks now. As I write the closing chapter and begin rewriting previous sections, everything feels both more distant and more immediate. The working title [Kairos] has only continued to feel more and more resonant, both during the writing and during my pause."
Now is the time to resist by making something different, by creating a world fundamentally opposed to these systems of oppression.
This is the last in my Kairos series. From here on out I'll be editing to try and make it more of a book than a series of posts. Thanks to everyone who has helped so far. All editing is welcome (typos, spell checks, questions and challenges). Between ADHD and dyslexia, it's always hard for my brain to notice mistakes in my own text so I always appreciate the support of those who can.

Survivors of Super Typhoon Odette are making history—they're suing Shell in UK courts for its role in fueling the climate crisis.
Their argument: Shell's emissions made the devastating storm more likely and more severe. It's part of a growing movement to hold Big Oil accountable for climate damages, especially in vulnerable regions like the Philippines that face repeated destruction.
"We don't deserve this," they say—and they're fighting back.
