  Pentagon To Live Stream Firing Squad Execution - A Poem 09.10.2026 1min

  The Pentagon plans to live-stream the firing squad execution of the Fort Hood shooter, and my head is so very heavy, and everything is covered in the ashes of a burning planet. I found the corpse of a water spirit down by the creek where my parents live. She used to play with me when I was small. She was tangled in plastic and mail-order clothes, and someone had torn off her wings. She would have been older than the country I live in. So hell, why not. Why not live-stream the firing squad execution. Run commercials for Kalshi and Crypto dot com and recruitment ads for the US Marine Corps. Let Joe Rogan host it with Kevin Hart, and then auction off pieces of the body to horny socialites from the Epstein files. Let's just go all-in with this thing. My head is heavy, and the earth spirits are dying, and I feel so fucking old. I get down on the ground and place my hands on the dirt. "Please, tell me what to do," I whisper. "Please tell me what you need." ________________ Reading by Tim Foley.

  It Took A Live-Streamed Genocide To Punch Through The Wall Of Western Apathy 08.10.2026 4min

  All of a sudden the idea that our bombs are killing people in the middle east was no longer a vague abstraction sitting in the periphery of our awareness. It was a reality hitting us right in the guts in the middle of the day while we casually scrolled our phones, forcing us to run to the toilet to vomit up our lunch. Reading by Tim Foley.

  No One Gives A Fuck About October 7 07.10.2026 5min

  No one cares. They used to, but then Israel spent three years showing the world why October 7 happened in the first place. After witnessing the cruelty and savagery of the state of Israel, people get it now. Everyone understands. Reading by Tim Foley.

  You Are Morally Obligated To Oppose Genocide And Apartheid Regardless Of Your Religion 06.10.2026 4min

  Ever since the UK Green party's "Zionism is racism" motion we've been seeing this narrative circulating that Jews are somehow exempt from the basic human duty to oppose genocide and apartheid, just because support for Israel happens to be common among the Jewish community. Reading by Tim Foley.

  Meditations On The Botched Execution Of Christa Pike 03.10.2026 3min

  Pike committed a horrific violent crime as a young woman after a life of nightmarish abuse. She was physically and sexually abused by her mother's live-in boyfriend, was raped by a neighbor when she was eleven, and attempted suicide at the age of twelve. And now she is on a respirator in a hospital as doctors fight to save her life, presumably so that the state of Tennessee can try to kill her again. Reading by Tim Foley.

  AI Won't Solve Humanity's Problems Because Our Problems Aren't Caused By Lack Of Intelligence 29.09.2026 4min

  It’s an absolutely specious claim that artificial superintelligence will benefit everyone. Humanity’s problems are not caused by a lack of intelligence, our problems are caused by greedy plutocrats like Zuckerberg. It’s like a serial killer telling us we can stop serial killing by making serial killers smarter. Reading by Tim Foley.

  Empire Psychosis 28.09.2026 3min

  The bread was designed in a lab to be furiously addictive, and the circuses track your preferences to serve you up all your favorite performances. Empire psychosis keeps us in a constant state of distraction and escapism, always scrambling to avoid the here and now like we're trying to climb out of our own skins. Reading by Tim Foley.

  Tech Plutocrats Cannot Lead Us Into A Healthy Future 25.09.2026 3min

  Transhumanism. Space colonization. Virtual reality. ASI. Immortality. These are all visions which revolve around escape. Escaping from the human condition. Escaping from our planet. Escaping from reality. Running, running, running away in a mad scramble to get anywhere but here. Reading by Tim Foley.

  Doordash has reached a historic $131.5 million settlement to repay workers in New York City for wages the food delivery app stole from them over the last four years, which sounds like a big win for the little guy if you don't think about it too hard. Reading by Tim Foley.

  I strongly disagree with the idea that it's unhelpful to bully celebrities about their position on Palestine. On the contrary, I think we should bully them more. Reading by Tim Foley.

  The Real Danger Of AI Is That It Is Run By Evil Warmongers 22.09.2026 4min

  The most obvious and imminent threat right now is not that artificial intelligence will outsmart us and escape our control, it’s that it is being fully controlled by humans who are stupid and evil. Reading by Tim Foley.
