Scouring Bandcamp for free music that I've liked in the past in hopes of building a small mp3 library on my computer to finally arrange some mixes :) I'll keep y'all posted

My coworkers have some of the most incoherent politics , I know everyone does to some extent , it's just baffling to see inherent contradictions between sentences not occur as suspicious or at odds wrt their worldview

U.S. Rep. Virginia Foxx, R-N.C., who chairs the House Committee on Education and Labor, alleged Tuesday on NewsNation’s “Elizabeth Vargas Reports” that the protests are being funded and organized by outsiders. “It’s obvious that someone is funding them,” Foxx said. “They were well prepared.” (x)

“Why is everybody’s tent the same?” Mayor Eric Adams asked at a press conference Tuesday. “Was there a fire sale on those tents? There’s some organizing going on. There’s a well-concerted organizing effort and what’s the goal of that organizing? That’s what we need to be asking ourselves.” Adams said Kaz Daughtry, a deputy police commissioner, “made a good point” in an interview with Fox when Daughtry said, “If you look at the tents, where did they all get them from? The same place, the same person? Somebody is behind this, and we’re gonna find out who it is.” On social media, many users supplied links to a $15 pop-up tent sold online by discount store Five Below. “Looks like what we’ve got on our hands is a classic case of college students buying something cheap and disposable,” the Hell Gate story added.

It's fucked up that anyone with mental illness has to navigate the same world as all of these other people , living up to the same standards and being punished twice as hard for failure both by society and their own brains. It's not fair 😔

In my new report, I provide the first ever look inside of a US military program known as the Secretary of Defense Executive Fellows (SDEF) program, which gives major government contractors like Lockheed Martin and Boeing a way to influence senior military policymakers.

The program sends US military officers to work at major corporations for nearly a year; when they return, the fellows submit recommendations for reform of the Pentagon based on their observations of the private sector. 

We document numerous examples of companies using this program to pass along self-interested policy recommendations to US military leaders, including: more outsourcing, corporate subsidies, deregulation, less oversight, more political power to contractors, looser arms export rules, and more. We also analyzed a sample of former SDEF fellows and found that 43% of them go through the revolving door and work for military contractors after leaving the program. As such, the SDEF program uses government money to help subsidize the military-industrial complex, placing corporate interests above the public interest.

You can read my summary of the report here, along with coverage by The Lever here.

We Tortured Some Poets

sickening to hear about the mass grave discoveries near Nasser hospital. war crimes right before our eyes and we are told this is just a normal "war" and definitely not a genocide

Happy birthday to my zucchini who turned 15 Saturday 🎂
