A crisis every Californian is confronted with every day.

SOCIETY SHOULD BE LED BY ARTISTS

Way to go Adorno for coming up with the best description of what art is:

One thing tourists seem to enjoy almost more than anything else is simply sitting at a cafe in a charming old square of the sort they don't have in their own city. They're not working, they're not at home, there's nice architecture, and there are no cars. Simple as that.

And what are they actually doing? Talking, laughing, drinking, soaking up the atmosphere, perhaps even meeting new people. There is nothing ostensibly "productive" or "useful" about this; rather, we are doing what humans have always done and need to do: nothing in particular.

Another thing to blame Descartes: the existence of Elon Musk.

Capitalism will never fall on its own. It will have to be pushed. The accumulation of capital will never cease. It will have to be stopped. The capitalist class will never willingly surrender its power. It will have to be dispossessed.

What the Isreali state has done to the people of Palestine for 70 years is utterly horrific, how the world sits near apathetic appalling. This doesn't justify you, westerner, spikey anarcho, laughing at people being gunned down on the street. Fix your hearts. -R 4/4

Chicago was known first by Native peoples as Zhegagoynak (Potawatomi), Zhigaagong (Ojibwe), Zaagawaang (Odawa), Šikaakonki (Myaamia), Shekâkôheki (Sauk), Sekākoh (Menominee), and Gųųšge honąk (Ho-Chunk), among other names. #IndigenousPeoplesDay
