‘The killing in Gaza will stop when Hamas releases the hostages’ is a pro-war crime argument
"Using starving children in Gaza as a bargaining chip is an entirely acceptable position in US media because these children are not seen, per se, as innocent, much less human."

Watch "Poverty in America is by design w/Matthew Desmond | The Chris Hedges Report" on YouTube
Poverty in America is by design because that's just how Capitalism evolves. No real mystery here.
But it is a good video on the massive welfare state that exists for rich Capitalist Elites while American workers are forced to live under an ideological regime of Neoliberal Capitalism. The entire US welfare state that helped build the American Middle Class has been inverted to ensure wealth flows unrestricted to the very top.

Advocating internment camps for homeless people is increasingly mainstream. This should frighten us.
The trueness of the old adage “socialism or barbarism” can be most acutely observed at the bottom rung of society—from the 30 million Americans without healthcare to the 2.3 million locked in prisons, to those caught in our school-to-prison pipeline, to the homeless. We can either address these social ills with robust social welfare or abject cruelty. Having foreclosed on the former, having given up on a meaningful, deficit-funded federal plan to house the country’s growing homeless population, all that’s left is barbarism.

Turn Off "The News".2: Rania Khalek goes where the New York Times won't
Korea has been on my mind recently as I was working on a song based on The Blowback Trilogy by Chalmers Johnson, who I have written about before on this blog. As I reread the trilogy looking for bits to use, I decided to try and use a teachable moment Johnson wrote about. He recounted how Bill Clinton once raised ire and eyebrows by playing golf on top of the site of mass graves of some of the…

We here at MCNN have had an absolutely amazing time creating this series together, and the overwhelmingly positive response we received from you all has been so so heartwarming. What started as a little passion project turned into something pretty incredible...and we owe that in part to our amazing team of volunteers, as well as to all of you who have been watching at home.
This isn't the last you'll see of us, don't worry! But for now, we're going to be taking a little bit of a break before even thinking of diving into another project as insane as this one was lol. Thank you for everything...and we'll see you all the next time we sit down behind the news desk.

Official “Whatever Happened to… Robot Jones?” promotional notebook, made by Cartoon Network back in 2002. It is unknown how many of these were made, or who they were given to, but they are definitely SUPER rare.
I’m assuming these were made in regards to the series premiering, as it seems they included Robot Jones on some previous CN merch around this time. It’s possible these were also made as merch to just give to employees of CN, or maybe just employees of WHTRJ? Who knows, just a hunch, you know?! 🤷🏻♀️

Thinking abt the fact that the end of network effect is just a full on horror movie with fucked up alien corpses and the main character limping around covered in its own fluids knowing its been compromised... i need murderbot to be turned into a scifi thriller series with infinite budget to be spent on physical effects so we can get a bedraggled nonbinary actor covered in corn syrup of various colors. Thats what it would have wanted.

Oh? If they wanted to have him be bisexual and not with Eddie, why wouldn't they plan to keep him with the established character who has a relationship to other characters and makes Buck act how they always envisioned him to be with a partner, as stated in this article?
