If you enjoyed our "Who the Hell is Michael Tracey?" episode, you will enjoy this *Why the Hell is Michael Tracey Doing This* sequel. Plus: Halloween comes early in the form of Josh Lisec's "Dad Chat" audio. It's a spooky one--with Bob--that you might not want to play before bed! 😱

Famulous #longread by @patrickobrienstrickland.com over at @inkstickmedia.com about Louis Beam, the Klansman and neo-Nazi, and the growth of violent white nationalism we are still dealing with the ramifications of over four decades later.

Here's my Yom Kippur morning sermon on Safety through Solidarity, with thanks to @benlorber8.bsky.social and @shaneburley.bsky.social! (To get the context, I recommend watching part 1 first)

Definitely one of the most manic episodes we've put out this year, and it's entirely due to the fact we spent an hour talking about the very strange man writing MAGA influencers' books

erotic hypnosis -- that's what he posted

Glenn Greenwald claims that the Jan. 6 pipe bomber was possibly an FBI inside job. His proof? Dan Bongino said so before he was in the FBI, and Greenwald thinks he was well-connected to the security services, and then Bongino recanted, convincing Greenwald further.

True that actually I agree with their assessment on some movement examples, but they still don’t have a good designation of no -violence. Sometimes it seems to mean anything but armed struggle, others it seems only some types of armed struggle. And it essentially abandons anti-colonial struggles.

Unfortunately, that research is insufficient, misleading and dead wrong in many cases. Where 3.5% leads those changes they both don’t follow strict principles of non-violence and often come from more densely organized and unionized communities. We cannot expect mass participation to win on its own.

New from me at @journalspectre.bsky.social: I write about this summer's racist riots in Belfast and where their origins actually are, in British loyalism. The only option is an Irish Republicanism that sees a place for everyone who lives on the island.

No one in national politics seems to even acknowledge that full system reformation is required, they can't see that the republic has already been lost, and as such they are the nails in its coffin. Ironically the only case for US restoration would be a sewer socialist campaign at fed level

They really should be explicit in the headline that the rise in South Asian hate rhetoric is stemming directly from the united states government.

Screenshot from article: “A recent example came last week when the Department of Homeland Security posted an image on social media depicting an Indian man with the words "Get off our roads, you don't know how to drive Mr. Singh."”

A Punjabi Sikh truck driver in Wyoming said he was followed into a bathroom and stabbed repeatedly in an attack that has stoked fear across the greater South Asian community.

I graduated med school in 2014. I was taught-and saw-how hard melanoma was to treat, like a death sentence Since then, new treatments have made it possible for people w/ the most advanced melanoma, like Jimmy Carter, to live to 100! We are killing ourselves by letting them destroy American science

A cancer vaccine succeeded in a clinical trial in preventing the recurrence of melanoma, a result experts say is a breakthrough for mRNA-based treatments. Trials for lung cancer, pancreatic cancer and other diseases' vaccines are also underway.

This is a good deep-dive into AI slop invading what used to be legit media sites. One thing I’m seeing more and more: slop outlets churning archaeology stories from 1-5 years ago and presenting them as news. 🏺🧪
