Anti-fascism is a global humanitarian duty. Our basic freedoms depend on the vigilance, justness and transparency of democratic systems around the world and their fight against corroding and hateful fascist politics and rhetoric. Simple as. #antifa #AntiFascism

BREAKING: People Against Genocide smash military satellites bound for Israel, inside Ultra I&C's Hertfordshire arms facility. This action today coincides with the 109th anniversary of the Balfour Declaration, when the British signed away the land of Palestine to Zionist militias

Cy Twombly, the most traditionalist, historically rooted choice possible. He lived amid Roman ruins, painted entire cycles on the Iliad, Leda, Bacchus, ancient poets. Don’t be an idiot.

This is true for most contemporary artists. Their work is shit specifically intended to celebrate ugliness and demoralize people.

OpenAI CEO Sam Altman believes people owning RAM is wasteful, and that it belongs in data centers instead. "From a global allocation perspective, actually, it’s quite terrible to have everyone have a bunch of the world’s limited supply of DRAM sitting in their own computer."

Catholics have a real faith that provides them a catechism for viewing art as art. American Protestantism is histrionic and unmoored so anything can be interpreted as the devil.

Todo dia 1 de maio, uma estátua de São Domingos de Sora (um abade do século X), venerado por intercessão contra febres, mordidas de cães raivosos e picadas de cobras, é levada em procissão na cidade de Cocullo, na região de Abruzzo, Itália, com várias serpentes vivas.

This is most definitely NOT what resistance looks like. A bunch of people politely filing down a street with zero demands and zero consequences if they don't get them is nothing more than a parade. Switch your channel to France to see what a protest with balls looks like.

so in awe of young people in paris rising up against a collapsing neoliberal order that has failed and betrayed them, situating themselves in the country's tradition of republican agitation (i saw more than one 67-68 sign) and facing police violence with fearlessness + solidarity
