Some guy's experience with debt and a debt consolidation company.
This episode of Wisecrack's 8-Bit Philosophy tries to distinguish between haters and real cynics.
Redneck Revolt got some coverage in the Guardian:
"Redneck Revolt is a nationwide organization of armed political activists from rural, working-class backgrounds who strive to reclaim the term “redneck” and promote active anti-racism. It is not an exclusively white group, though it does take a special interest in the particular travails of the white poor. The organization’s principles are distinctly left-wing: against white supremacy, against capitalism and the nation-state, in support of the marginalized."
Someone transcribed the episode of Lasagna Cat which is over an hour of analysis of The Pipe Strip, a single 3-panel Garfield comic.
I appreciated Tim Pool's livestreaming during Occupy, but this sort of "Nazis and the people who fight Nazis are equally bad" centrist schtick seems to characterize his recent work. Fortunately there is an even better alternative in the likes of Unicorn Riot http://www.unicornriot.ninja
I just discovered this 2015 Westword article about the criminalization of homelessness by artist Lauri Lynnxe Murphy which includes a link to one of my weblog entries.
"the criminalization of public sleeping, as brought to Denver by Albus Brooks with the anti-camping ordinance, is spreading throughout municipalities like a cruel poison."
Sam Kriss on the contradictions of a Jewish state.
I haven't read all of the Q&As yet, but Shawn Wilbur's AMAs on neo-Proudhonian mutualism are always interesting.
Here's a strange article from 2003 in which Donald Rumsfeld defends looting in Baghdad at some length while Amnesty International calls for more troops to be deployed in order to protect members of Saddam Hussein's party.
Keith McHenry was the first volunteer arrested for sharing free food on August 15, 1988. Eight more volunteers were arrested that same day for sharing lunch at the Haight and Stanyan near the entrance to Golden Gate Park. The San Francisco Police made nearly 1,000 arrests of people volunteering to share vegan meals with Food Not Bombs from 1988 to 1997.
In the section “Rules of Conduct”, of the Denver Police Crowd Control Manual outlines the role of “Shadow Teams,” groups of undercover and/or plainclothes officers who infiltrate demonstrations to observe participants, gather intelligence, monitor “persons of interest”, and help target specific protesters for arrest.
"Releasing the Denver Police Crowd Control Manual is part of our ongoing investigation into the policing of social movements. Using open records requests and other methods, we are currently compiling reports documenting the Denver Police Department."
Someone made a nice website dedicated to Kropotkin's The Conquest of Bread.
"Posadists were once notorious on the far left for their cultish devotion to their leader and their bizarrely positive views on nuclear war."
I think one reason I enjoyed this article is because I had no idea who Leonora Carrington was. I still don't know what she's going to do next.
Some of her art is on wikiart: https://www.wikiart.org/en/leonora-carrington
The latest Harley Poe album is best Harley Poe album.
"In the spring of 2015 a group of anarchist and prison abolitionists worked together to experiment with a pirate radio station that broadcasted into a prison. The project lasted nine months before it was raided and shut down by a coalition of law enforcement. Transmissions in a Hostile Territory is a reflection on that project, how we did it and what we learned from the following legal case. The intention of the zine is to encourage creative engagement in the anti-prison struggle. Fire to prisons, until every cage is empty!"
