Agency of Fear by Edward Jay Epstein, 2018

President Bush has made the war against drugs the number one issue on the contemporary American political agenda. In this revised edition of his classic book, available for the first time in paperback, Edward Jay Epstein argues that the president has adopted the strategy of his forebear, Richard Nixon, in using the drugs war to blame foreigners for the crisis in America’s cities, and to provide a smokescreen




 for unrelated political activity designed to bolster executive power. 

The drugs crackdown has seen an almost hundredfold increase in the federal budget for narco-politics in the fifteen years since Agency of Fear was first published, while statistics on drug-running have been massaged. Epstein points out that, despite the massive budgets and public relations brouhaha, drug importation, as measured against wholesale price, has in fact grown.

I try to strike a balance between sharing disturbing eyewitness reports from Minneapolis and doing what I can to make sure that we on the side of American Democracy know what the Republican Fascist forces are doing there. These comments are from a Minneapolis activist I trust, who is active on Bluesky. Reports like this are why I keep urging folks to do whatever they can to support the people of Minneapolis.

guys minneapolis is a living hell today.
they've tear-gassed so many people,
tear-gassed a park, beaten people up in
front of me. greg bovino is rolling around
to gas stations and posing in front of
them, trying to cause a riot.

watching sobbing teenagers getting
pulled out of their cars by masked goons
glowering at us through tiny slits in their
fully-masked uniforms, brandishing
weapons at the crowd, and launching
huge amounts of teargas into parks and
businesses to make their escape

@heidilifeldman thank you for what you are doing. My son is a student at MCAD and I've been alternating between fear and anger for weeks. He works pay time in the school library and had a coworker snatched by Ice while he was walking home from work. The guy has worked at the school for over twenty years.

One of my greatest fears is that the public will grow tired of seeing the images and reading the stories and move on. We cannot afford for this to become normal.

Some news, I’ll be departing the PSF as a staff member at the end of this week.

You can read a more formal announcement over at pyfound.blogspot.com/2026/01/e, but I wanted to share on socials as well.

It has been an incredible… nearly 8 years serving as the Director of Infrastructure for the Python Software Foundation, but it is time for me to do something new.

我不知道是真是假,但是我想B站App出一个屏蔽标签的功能,屏蔽掉“斯奎奇大王”、“斩杀线”、“牢A”。
对“斩杀线”这个莫名其妙火起来的梗,在现实中的作用大概是让追逐喜欢这个梗的人,忘掉自己的不幸,转而去嘲笑其他人。
对于这种突然因为某个梗而大火的博主我没有任何好感,对于斩杀线这种娱乐化底层,将悲剧变成故事会网络梗的垃圾梗更是反感。
我想斩杀线和牢A的闹剧该停止了,回旋镖也快来了。

과거에는 요리 배우는 방송이 있었다. 냉장고에서 아무렇지 않게 처음 듣는 식재료가 나오는걸 보고 저런 표정을 지었지. 그래서 그런지 흑백요리사는 저런 표정까지는 안지어진다. 애초에 그것이 TV쇼고, 엔터테인먼트라는 전제가 머리속에 깔려있기 때문일 것이다. 그것은 내가 사는 세상이 아니다. 마찬가지로, 근래에 흥행하는 소위 생활밀착형 리얼리티쇼도 그러하다. 일상생활을 다룬다고 하고 리얼하다고 이야기하지만 한편으로는 저것은 쇼다. 나와 다른 세상이다. 라는 생각이 머리 속에 쳐져있다. 마치 동물원의 원숭이를 구경하듯 말이다.

| Decolonizing The World (w/ Amin Husain) | The Chris Hedges Report

"The most important struggle against settler colonialism today is the struggle for Palestine. The genocide has, on the one hand, raised public consciousness to expose the Zionist project for what it is — a racist, apartheid system where the indigenous people are dispossessed and exterminated. But this consciousness has failed to alter the iron support of Western governments for Israel."

Had a crystal that wasn't starting consistently. Asked on StackExchange and realized I was missing a 1M ohm resistor in parallel with the crystal. I do not have a 1M ohm resistor so I just put a pinkie on each side of the crystal. It worked beautifully

What will it take, if not shooting and killing a white suburban mom with witnesses and cameras all around, the homicide of a detainee by the authorities in a detention facility, armed paid thugs inciting violence, and the abduction and abuse of a five year old boy, with the intentionally traumatizing of that child and family by, and glorified by, the government using armed, masked, lawless agents who have been declared above the law by the regime leaders.

What is it going to take, Republicans?

食料品の消費税は下げてほしい。そのための軽減税率だし、インボイス制度でしょう。控除の方がいいという意見もわかるけど週単位、日単位で効くのは減税だ。
しかしやるなら飲食店の消費税の簡易課税区分は第5種に変えなきゃいけない。このディテールのない公約にやる気は感じない。野党も含めてね。
