Throughout the story of the ICE invasion of Minneapolis, it’s been the helpers who’ve most captured international attention: the people keeping watch, the people delivering groceries, the people marching and raising their voices. There’s a lot of us.
Mr. Rogers said “look for the helpers,” and yes, that’s good advice. But in this case, it needs a second thought: don’t look so hard for the helpers that you forget the people we’re helping.

I think the thing the video fails to stress enough is the importance of the revolutionary program to the insurgency. Che failed because he failed to pay attention to his own lessons (and perhaps didn't fully understand them) about the primacy of the revolutionary program.
The true power of the insurgency comes from the things the state *cannot* compromise on.
Right, that's the record player in place and running! Anyone suggestions on the right (non-poncy) way to clean records and keep it happy? Some, like this one have been in jackets for a long time but are relatively clean; but I also have a big box of singles that probably more careful attention.

Zocalo: Ramadan Invites Us to Imagine a Better Future
I have a new piece on Zócalo about Ramadan as a futurist practice. Ramadan is a futurist practice. Ritual fasting and increased spiritual contemplation are ruptures in Muslims’ daily habits, not just in eating, but in our movement through the world. They force you to pay attention, with eyes misty with spirituality—to feel viscerally what is wrong with the world. Ramadan invites Muslims to imagine how we can remake…
As far as I understand (granted, I don't understand that much, but...) there is a legitimate and actively debated position in philosophy of mind and cognitive science regarding ant colonies.
That is, colony-level cognition may be real, not metaphorical. Ant colonies:

- exhibit memory (via pheromone landscapes)
- solve optimisation problems
- adapt flexibly to novel conditions
- show something like attention (resource …
To whom it may concern:
I will not go peacefully into the bleak and cruel MAGA future...
I will do the hard things, I will support my neighbors, I will stand up for the weak and vulnerable, I will learn new ways to live, I will persist in being ungovernable by vile, greedy monsters, rapists, pedophiles, parasites, thieves, idiots, and con-men.
I resist, with all my being, and with all the love and compassion in the Universe.

The Page Isn’t Dead, Your Attention Is Under Siege
Every few years we are invited to attend the same funeral. Someone declares that nobody reads anymore, that the printed page is finished, that books are an aging technology destined to become a museum object while the living culture migrates to earbuds and short video. It is a tempting story because it flatters our sense that we are witnessing a clean break with the past, a decisive turn of the wheel.

Hi, I'm Thomas. Back in 2005 or so I've practically invented in-browser animations with HTML elements.
PLEASE DO NOT ANIMATE USER INTERFACE ELEMENTS FOR NO REASON.
Do not animate icons, change positions of buttons, do "fun liquid glass animations"; definitely under no circumstances move in or fade in whole blocks of text (unless your design goal is that you want people looking at your website to become nauseous).
Only use animation when it's helpful to the user—for example, when they need to pay extra attention to something because there's a risk of data loss or to pass the time while showing that something is going on when there's a process which takes a bit longer.

So the collective trauma reaction against the Church, so deep for those of us coming from the tradition of the European Left, alienates us from those indigenous comrades of ours who refused to let their identities be erased. It alienates us from Black and Latin American comrades who, in some cases, have subverted that same religion from a tool of oppression to a tool of resistance.
It also alienates us from our pagan, Jewish, and even Christian ancestors. Rather than a rejection of the genocides, crusades, and pogroms carried out to solidify the hegemony of the Church, a chauvinistic atheism affirms it under another name. Likewise it affirms the patriarchs who burned witches and destroyed midwifery to shift power over to male doctors.
The "Enlightenment" paradigm of "Reason," that led through secularism to the anti-religious antagonism of Bill Maher and the New Atheists, is laced with an Islamophobia and anti-Semitism rooted in the same church they claim to reject. And anyone who has been paying attention can see that it opens the door to the far right anti-Semitism and Islamophobia that also grows from that same root...

If there’s any chance of having some issues prioritized, I’d sure appreciate it.)
