A vehicular accident involving a guitar occurred in the early evening hour. The guitar was in the traffic lane when struck by a vehicle. No hi-viz clothing or lights were found on the guitar. Witnesses at the scene said the guitar is known for jaywalking.

Is this communist propaganda in my hollywood slop?

the face of capitalist innovation right there

“I have a deep-seated fear,” he told me, “that the Black struggle will ultimately, at its root, really just be about narrow Black interest. And I don’t think that is in the tradition of what our most celebrated thinkers have told the world. I don’t think that’s how Martin Luther King thought about the Black struggle. I know that’s not how Du Bois thought about the Black struggle. I know that’s not how Baldwin thought about the Black struggle. Should it turn out that we have our first Black woman president, and our first South Asian president, and we continue to export 2,000-pound bombs to perpetrate a genocide, in defense of a state that is practicing apartheid, I won’t be able to just sit here and shake my head and say, ‘Well, that is unfortunate.’ I’m going to do what I can in the time that remains, and the writing that I have, to not allow that to be, because that is existential death for the Black struggle, and for Black people, as far as I’m concerned.”

He’s starting to understand it seems. Too bad he doesn’t have any real theory enjoyers in his personal circles. He could really use some about now.

Microsoft selling carbon-credits based on how much CO2 they were going to produce by running an AI data center, but now they aren’t because of recommissioning 3-Mile Island nuclear power plant. This is innovation that will save the world!

Requiring the USA to start loading up cargo planes full of interceptor missiles instead of as many massive dumb bombs as they can carry would be a positive outcome. I heard there were some warehouses being targeted.

A bunch of dorks that have never lived anywhere near where freight rail operates. About half the places I’ve lived were not too far from train yards, this is very expected behavior in those areas.

Is this a sign of the start of a turn away from the Zionists by mainstream Dems? Leon Panetta was one of the special speakers at the DNC endorsing Kamala. Maybe the US/CIA is working towards a heel turn on the Zionists by giving them plenty of rope? Maybe I’m just feeling a bit hopeful today in the face of escalating war.

Between Zel in Ukr and Bibi et al in Isntreal, maybe the failed Biden strategic vision is shifting into a managed decline and/or cut your losses situation as the election approaches?

The US leadership is still not doing anything effective to end the genocide though. This is just political theater stuff.

life finds a way

Hell ya, they are awesome. Mdou Moctar, Bombino and Imarhan are also really good.

Mr. Taha recorded “Rock El Casbah,” an Arabic-language version that tricks out the song’s familiar melody with swooping, Egyptian-style strings, Moroccan flute, qanun and other traditional instruments. The result – “Rock the Casbah” sung as though inside the Casbah – deepens the song’s ambiguities.

It kinda slaps. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=02Sg9H2T_TQ

Maybe one of these red flags:

DON’T MAKE ME GET TECHNICAL

I just realized their native built sniper rifles are only single shot bolt action. I kept wondering why they were handling loose ammo in these videos, but now that totally makes sense. They don’t have magazines. I thought it was just cool sniper theatrics, but it’s actually quite utilitarian.

a strategy supported by research

https://momentummag.com/surprising-nobody-study-finds-drivers-think-cyclists-are-less-than-human/

The research, based on a survey involving 563 respondents, revealed that approximately 30% of participants considered cyclists to be less than fully human. Yes, you read that correctly, less than human. Explains a lot, actually. Interestingly, cyclists wearing helmets were perceived as less human compared to those without helmets. Moreover, cyclists wearing safety vests without helmets were perceived as the least human.

The study also found that dehumanization was more strongly associated with visible safety gear, such as helmets and vests, rather than obstruction of the hair and eyes. Additionally, the perceptions of dehumanization varied among respondents based on gender.

I played it a bit back in the day. It would be great IP to revive for a modern FPS/RTS game with some hero/MOBA mechanics sprinkled in to make it appeal to a modern audience.

I really liked that it had no persistent perks/leveling mechanics iirc.

There are a few variations on the ‘please don’t kill me’ cycling jersey. Here is one example.

From the comments:

Israel is capable of using disinfo to get hezbollah scared into using pagers, and then supplying them via taiwan and BAC Consulting (Hungary), then how am I supposed to believe they can’t avoid killing kids with bombs?
