Is it possible to stay anonymous when joining a private tracker community?
  • RED is so not a honeypot. Y'all paranoid. If your threat model includes hiding your IP from one of the most respected private trackers in the game, then you should probably stick to public where they don't care if you use a different VPN every time you log in.

  • Treat them like people
  • Thats my friend! He's really like that all the time and is genuinely compassionate and wholesome in every aspect of his life.

    He volunteers on a local community radio show each week called The Pedestrian Show where he advocates for better biking infrastructure in the city. He's like actually involved in city council meetings and breaks down the proposed development plans on the radio in simple terms so people can understand what's happening in the city without reading 50 pages of legalese.

    Also, he's really good at ping pong haha.

    Mississippi regulators to solar boosters: Sit down and be quiet
  • It doesn't seem to be what's happening here, but I've seen wooded areas clear cut for large scale solar farms before. That's completely missing the point of green energy IMO and I can see why some would oppose it.

  • Which long-running comedies would you recommend?
  • The other suggestions here are the main ones I'd mention - Venture Bros, Bobs Burgers, Futurama.

    Squidbillies I think deserves a spot on the list.

    There are several other great Adult Swim shows I'd like to mention here, but they mostly didn't run more than a few seasons. Superjail, China IL, Metalocalypse, Space Dandy.

    I'd also recommend The Great North. Its newer and at first feels pretty similar to Bob's Burgers, but the characters feel more fleshed out to me and the family dynamic I think makes for more interesting TV. It's only like five seasons so far I think.

  • Favorite Anarchists Texts?
  • I just recently finished The Dispossessed (as well as the other Hainish novels) and I thoroughly loved it. Le Guin is an incredible writer and so imaginative in her depiction of an anarchic society and it's challenges. All of her other books I've ever read have antihierarchical or at least anticapitalist themes too, although in a less overt way than The Dispossessed.

    "I will be no longer complicit in genocide." - Aaron Bushnell

    AARON BUSHNELL 1999-2024

    "I will be no longer complicit in genocide. I am about to engage in an extreme act of protest, but compared to what people have been experiencing in Palestine at the hands of their colonizers, it is not extreme at all. This is what our ruling class has decided will be normal. Free Palestine. Free Palestine. Free Palestine."

    I always get emotional when I think of Aaron Bushnell. He reminds me of so many of my radical brothers and sisters unable to live with the injustices so many accept as normal.

    PS. I tried out the new alt text feature on Jerboa. Let me know if it has any issues!

    Yesterday marked the 103rd anniversary of the Battle of Blair Mountain - the largest armed labor uprising in US history

    wvminewars.org In August 1921, an estimated 15,000 coal miners and their allies participated in the largest armed labor uprising in US history. — West Virginia Mine Wars Museum

    The Redneck Army planned to free their compatriots from jail, help win the Mingo strike, and unionize the southern counties. First, they would have to go through Logan County where Sheriff Don Chafin, whose salary was paid by coal operators, had assembled an army of three thousand deputies and mine

    Complicit
  • I don't think it's at all appropriate to say that "sending weapons to anyone is a joke in comparison to past actions" when those weapons are actively being used for genocide. We should not be excusing any level of active harm out of numbness from past atrocities.

    We can look at the whole picture and denounce the US war machine as colonialist and imperialist, but the wording you used there, the way you're trivializing a very real aspect of the war machine, is dangerously close to genocide apologia.

  • Voting is Not Harm Reduction – An Indigenous Perspective
  • I'll start by saying that I don't totally disagree with your points. I think a simple blanket statement like "don't vote" is wholely harmful, and only serves to perpetuate apathy and further oppression.

    That said, the message here is plainly more than calling for people to abstain from voting. Its a call for militant direct action, which electoralism serves to pacify.

    I don't think I can express it more eloquently than the author, and I don't think that a particular excerpt can do justice to the point, but this part seems salient.

    This doesn’t mean simply abstinence or ignoring the problem until it just goes away, it means developing and implementing strategies and maneuvers that empower Indigenous People’s autonomy.

    One person devoting their time, energy, and organizational capacity to liberation can do more to help their community than any number of people voting for a lesser evil chosen by the oppressors.

    The point is not to dissuade leftists from voting, it's to persuade them to take action. In the case of Indigenous Action that isn't a vague call to action either. There's active resistance in need of material support on Turtle Island currently.

    Voting is Not Harm Reduction An Indigenous Perspective February 2020 – www.indigenousaction.org

    Zine format printable PDF download: Voting is Not Harm Reduction Zine-FINAL-PRINT (9.8MB)

    "When proclamations are made that “voting is harm reduction,” it’s never clear how less harm is actually calculated. Do we compare how many millions of undocumented Indigenous Peoples have been deported? Do we add up what political party conducted more drone strikes? Or who had the highest military budget? Do we factor in pipelines, mines, dams, sacred sites desecration? Do we balance incarceration rates? Do we compare sexual violence statistics? Is it in the massive budgets of politicians who spend hundreds of millions of dollars competing for votes?

    Though there are some political distinctions between the two prominent parties in the so-called U.S., they all pledge their allegiance to the same flag. Red or blue, they’re both still stripes on a rag waving over stolen lands that comprise a country built by stolen lives.

    We don’t dismiss the reality that, on the scale of U.S. settler colonial violence, even the slightest degree of harm can mean life or death for those most vulnerable. What we assert here is that the entire notion of “voting as harm reduction” obscures and perpetuates settler-colonial violence, there is nothing “less harmful” about it, and there are more effective ways to intervene in its violences."

The label on the matches says "L'Éclatante - Revolutionary Matches - All Cats Are Beautiful" and one match is lit with a large flame.

    "Tenth text in the series commemorating the 30th anniversary of the Zapatista uprising. This time, the author gives relevance to the concept of the non-binary “otroa” of Zapatismo because it focuses on the other, the external, the discriminated, in order to establish a political definition from that place."
