Kenneth and Marshall share one mic and OK gets his own. Big tech guys are tailoring online discourse for right wing climate change deniers. So instead of any leadership discussing decades of ecocide we’re stuck on woke homeless people. We think about Octavia Butler and Mike Davis and how it isn’t enough to know and live through collapse, as the LA mask bloc knows (donate to them), we must catch ourselves.

We of course have takes about the CEO shooter with a beautiful smile, but it’s paywalled 😈 Enjoy our takes on WICKED, they were FRESH AT THE TIME! We saw it OPENING WEEKEND, FOR ONCE! Our beautiful friends Chris Person, Andrea Guinn, and Fontaine Capel were there!! We also talked about the Bidens at the bookstore and I cut the part where I fantasized about how it would have gone down in Ridgewood. Anyway stay safe and defeat gravity by being the perfect misunderstood chosen one. Be the joker who fucks! Bye bye!!

We revisit Hito Steyerl’s “In Defense of Poor Image” to make a point about naivetĂŠ of the American left during the Obama administration. The web was a frontier, meaning conditions have always been ripe for dissemination of far right disinformation as well as highly polished neoliberalism. It’s a positive development that left popular discourse is able to identify properties like Hillbilly Elegy and Trial of the Chicago 7, as purposeful distortions of American injustice and poverty. How can our messaging compete with billion dollar media and political campaigns dedicated to convincing the masses that societal problems are their personal failings?
