Our ruling elite love love love this genocide, see it as an opportunity of a lifetime to ruthlessly reimpose a kayfabe everyone knows is broken over a new paradigm of discipline based more than ever on your level of acceptance of your accelerating immiseration, enshittification, elimination
Rest of the monologue, as always, in grid. Four self-portraits, one painting, feel free to say no. The fuck am I doing digging a hole and swimming in it. Songs today off albums in the 50 Best Post-Rock Albums, link in grid
"The *campus antisemitism crisis* is a manufactured distraction created by the people responsible for filling mass graves and the media doing what it can to cover them up"
"This call to violence against U.S. students is endorsed by the gov't of Israel itself"
"let us pause for a moment and remind ourselves how insane it is that institutions that are nominally devoted to education have investment portfolios, and that these portfolios include investments in corporations that profit off of death, destruction, and human misery"
Do you know how Western powers weaponize language in war, conquest, and genocide?

I mean, you can imagine, but it's still worth reminding with evidence of just *how* amorally shitty our shitlords are
He WANTS to be hit in the face, he thinks it will solidify his brand and rockstar him, whoever DOES hit him in the face should be taken into custody as his accomplice, I guarantee he's gonna false flag himself

I'm telling you for the third time, this sh*t is BEGGING YOU TO HIT HIM IN THE FACE! When you don't hit him in the face to further his career/fame you are being antisemitic, you hamasnik

"You’re antisemitic if you can’t imagine a moral equivalence between Zionists' entitlement to feel good about their genocidal bigotry and Palestinians' interest in not being slaughtered"
"We're about 5 minutes away from Zionists saying Columbia students are raping beautiful angels in their vast network of tunnels beneath Manhattan"
I don't know if this is a real Ossadmay twitter account but have no doubt whether real or fake Ossadmay (and Ennessay and Angleylay and Omelandhay and without a fucking doubt Enwhypeedee photos everyone and what the tweet threatens will be used as advertised

"Facial recognition can determine whether you participated in the pro Hamas protests at the universities. Your jobs and your degrees will be worthless. Your hiring opportunities will be limited"
Literary Award Withdrawals, Mounting Criticism Prompt ‘Review’ at PEN America
Today in Rhetorical Questions: "Can liberals please admit that if Trump was president the vast majority of them complaining right now would absolutely be protesting the Gaza genocide, obv not saying I want Trump to win, but the only thing this talking point does is point out liberals’ grotesque hypocrisy
"This week, I learnt of your personal part in the unconscionable withdrawing of the Albertus Magnus Professorship from Professor Nancy Fraser, in your role as rector of the University of Cologne, due to her signing a letter – along with over 400 other philosophers – in solidarity with the Palestinian people in the context of Israel’s ongoing massacres. This in the same month that the Berlin Palestine Congress was ruthlessly and abruptly shut down, peaceful activists arrested and speakers banned. I cannot accept the DAAD’s invitation when I can have no faith that the institution will stand against such a shameful program of repression and anti-Palestinian racism. Indeed, you have personally shown your willingness to be part of it"

The one thing my wife, who taught public elementary school art for 38 years and is in the first year of retirement, tells me she misses most about teaching it's brainwashing kids to hate white people
What's important to know here is that Chicken Basket was once Mario's Pizza and it was the first non-newspaper boy job of my life fifty years ago (and is across the street from Gaithersburg Elementary School where I went to first grade sixty years ago)

Yesterday the President of Columbia University told congress she supports peaceful free speech then asked the NYPD to forcibly remove Columbia students peacefully protesting the American-Israeli genocide, ethnic cleansing, and land theft in Gaza (and then kicked said protesters out of Columbia) and the United States, which professes to support a two-state solution in Palestine vetoed a UN resolution calling on a two-state solution while Biden told Netanyahu go ahead and slaughter the Gazans trapped in Raffa, you have my blessing as long as you don't attack Iran to which Israel attacked Iran while a sitting US senator called for the legalized ramming and killing of anti-genocide protesters blocking major roads, and you and I are called the whackfucks, I call this "Thursday," my headshot today:
Zionists sadistically celebrate the genocide and ethnic cleansing for the genocide and ethnic cleansing (plus the land they will steal), western shitlords cheerfully celebrate the genocide and ethnic cleansing as a golden opportunity to criminalize and normalize crushing any and all dissent in the future but from the Left specifically in the present. Hinkiest war ever, gonna get a fuckton hinkier, more hinkiness in grid
"Carcerality was ALWAYS the next logical step for Zionist repression on campus. We spent years warning colleagues that shit was headed in a bad direction, but too many of them tut-tutted those warnings because they wanted to preserve their institutional privileges"

Magachoads chant *Genocide Joe, Genocide Joe* at a Trump rally in Pennsylvania this past weekend and they are not wrong. You can support Israel blindly and attack Biden for blindly supporting Israel. Reminder: those of us who do not support Israel blindly and attack Biden for blindly supporting Israel are the evil fucks destroying America and ushering in World War 3
Hinkiest war ever (except for those killed, maimed, orphaned, and starved, etc)...

TODAY, MY HOPE IS VERTICAL
Jane Hirshfield
Today, my hope is vertical. Tomorrow it will be horizontal. The next day, cloudy. My hope is like a Greek myth: exchanging skin for bark, bark for scales, scales for the hollow bones of a bird. In these ways my hope attempts to escape its fate. In myth, hope surely knows, escape is useless. Still, hope will try. I, who will someday leave behind this three-dimensioned puzzle, pity my hope. Poorling, I say to my hope, even I cannot spare you, even I cannot make you mortal. Winged, rooted, finned, roofed or roofless, of all my shapes, only you, hope, know nothing of irony, only you cannot be cynical or cloak yourself in the objectivity of grammar. Only you cannot suffer suffering. You exempt, you deny, you protest with speech and with silence. You forgive—helpless to not— in speech and in silence. I, citizen of perspective, born into the tribe of time, will vanish into its blurring distance. But you—most intransigent, most stubborn of all my parts— will be forced to continue. How tenderly, with two open hands, you reach again today for hunger’s apple.
