@smashtie@mas.toThis one gives me the shivers.
JMW Turner, Dolbadern Castle, North Wales
exhibited 1800
Here Turner is imagining an event from Welsh history. Kneeling in the foreground is 'hopeless Owen', imprisoned in 1255 at Dolbadern Castle for joining a rebellion against his brother. Turner sets Dolbadern's tower against the most luminous area of sky, a trick borrowed from Dutch masters.

@cdarwin@c.imBillionaire tech advisers overcame a MAGA rebellion over AI in the Trump Whitehouse
A power struggle over the future of technology is playing out inside the administration,
as officials confront high-stakes decisions that touch everything
from national security and jobs
to online safety for children.
@hippyjo@c.imRebellion isn't what you think it is.
A simple and vital message more people need to consider, in my opinion.
Someone posted the image below without including any alt text to make this message clearer.
Dick move.
The rebellion will be made accessible, because it is a rebellion against selfish ignorance and laziness - and because I will not stop doing what I can to help the cause.
I am extra irritated because I strongly believe in what the image is depicting…

@kurtsh@mastodon.social @cdarwin@c.imFor six weeks in 1842,
the Dorr Rebellion gave Rhode Island two governments,
each claiming to be the legitimate representative of the people.
By 1840, the only people who could vote in Rhode Island were 40 percent of the white males
– the ones who owned property.
The rural elite that ran Rhode Island was quite happy with the status quo. -- Many others weren’t.
Thomas Dorr was one of them.

@seav@en.osm.town“I know that thousands of gay men in Russia watched Heated Rivalry—on pirate sites, of course, because they have no legal way to watch the series. The Russian authorities would undoubtedly ban the show as LGBTQ propaganda, but most Western platforms don’t function in Russia either. As a result, Russian queer people have to break every possible law simply to live in the same world as members of their own community.”

@scott@carfree.cityI love Deerhoof’s Actually, You Can not just as a great, fun album but as a time capsule from an optimistic moment. In late 2021, we seemed to be emerging from the shadows of Trump and Covid-19—who’d have thought the Four Seasons presser and the vaccines, respectively, didn't end them? The music bottles up joyful, radical imaginings of a better world that were in the air since the George Floyd rebellion, not yet extinguished by the reactionary “crime” panic to come.

The #NewYear is barely a week old and shows already that Ares will be busy. Let's not forget he is also the god of riots and rebellion:

@hex@kolektiva.socialAdding another post. This one is a bit less polished, but I want to get it out. As things get harder for everyone, I'm seeing a greater tendency to want to grasp onto revolutionary fiction such as #Andor. I think there's value in that, but it has to come with an informed critique.
> We are so thirsty for hope that we will drink it up, even when that hope comes from a fiction and the truth behind the hope is poison. In Andor, we see the worst elements sacrifice themselves for some of the best. The revolution goes through a process of purification, the complicated elements weeding themselves out to make room for the simplified good, as the rebellion unifies. In reality, this tends to be the opposite how things actually work.
> [...]
> [The Urban Guerilla movement of the 60's through the 80's] centered militant revolution. In doing so, they omitted or cut themselves off from the logistic support needed to sustain such revolutionary activity. The trauma of carrying out violence further isolated and radicalized them. Lacking infrastructure for trauma healing, their decay escalated and became unrecoverable. Ultimately, their revolutionary movements both emulated and reinforced the status quo they were trying to resist.
> There emerges a strange historical parallel that is difficult to see from within the dominant paradigm. The competitive politics of electoralism derives from heroic competition, where people (typically men) compete (often violently) for control over a territory or people. Thus the insurrectionary enters into the very same competition as a challenger, not against the system of domination but for control over it. The success of the revolution, then, does not abolish the system of violent domination but changes rather replaces its management.
> Many modern anarchists will be quick to point out the disconnect between ends and means. While authoritarian projects often assert that "the ends justify the means," and Andor implies the same, anti-authoritarian projects assert the ends and the means are not only united but are, in fact, the same.
This is still very much something I'm actively editing, but I'd still love feedback to help me refine it to it's final form. Typo catches and clarifying questions welcome.

@paulbusch@mstdn.caGood Morning #Canada
Today we reach the end of the #CanadianCapitals series and I've left the Keystone Province for last. Manitoba, with IMO the best Premier and worst flag, has Winnipeg as its capital. The city lies at the junction of the Assiniboine River and the Red River, an historic focal point for canoe routes travelled by Aboriginal peoples for thousands of years. The fur trade brought forts, both British and French, and conflict amongst trappers and indigenous people. In 1869, the Hudson's Bay Company formally surrendered its charter rights over the western half of Canada, prompting Louis Riel to attempt a rebellion and become an independent territory before the Canadian government got organized. That ended badly for Louis and in 1870 Manitoba became a province with Winnipeg as its capital. A fun fact: The Royal Winnipeg Ballet is Canada’s oldest dance company and also the longest continuously operating ballet company in North America.
