Hot take: Social media managers donโt need another โall-in-one tool.โ They need a single solution that makes posting effortless. Everything else? Just noise.
Whatโs your go-to tool for simplifying workflows? Letโs discuss!
Okay, well, Iโve started a blog about language and the far right. Itโs called Total Propaganda. Itโs a plain vanilla Wordpress blog, but you can also subscribe to it as a newsletter and pretend this is 2025. And best of all, I guarantee that it is and shall remain AI-free.

So there you have it. I wrote in the first post that I hope to do one of these every week. Three posts in, that already seems like an absurdly ambitious goal, although I might get closer to it if I can learn to write shorter posts (also, I was on vacation for a week in August, so I donโt write quite as slowly as it might appear).
In any event, I hope this will be useful to some folks. Talking about the far right in terms of language sounds kind of abstract in light of all the real-world violence they actually do. But all that violence begins and spreads through ideas and their communication. The whole idea of rhetoric is that it persuades people and gets them to think differently about things. And if we can understand how fascists use language to manipulate people, it makes it easier for us to undermine their work and protect ourselves and our communities.
PS: If people who are on Bluesky wouldn't mind boosting this, I'd be grateful for it. I'm really pretty allergic to other people's attention, but I think there's a lot that's being missed in the current discussions about the international descent into fascism, and I think this will be a way to address at least some of it. For that reason, I'd like to try to promote this a little bit.

An exasperating barrier to fighting the emergency emergency is the absence of any obvious legal strategy to halt Trumpโs overuse of emergency declarations. Perhaps the answer is that judges start granting less deference to the executive branch.

"I hope you enjoy none of your experience rebuilding yourself in the wastes of Oblivion"
--A valediction written by Overfiend Kazpian to fellow Daedra Wykishai, closing a letter Kazpian wrote to them after killing them to answer questions from their last meeting.
The image depicts a dark, mystical landscape at night. In the foreground, there are jagged, pointed rock formations emerging from a body of water, which has a bluish tint, suggesting a cold or icy environment. The rocks are dark and appear to be covered in moss or algae, adding to the eerie atmosphere. In the background, a partially submerged structure with columns and arches is visible, hinting at a once-grand building now in ruins. The sky is overcast with dark clouds, and a beam of light pierces through, illuminating parts of the scene. The overall color palette is dominated by blues and dark tones, enhancing the mysterious and foreboding mood of the image.

The video depicts a large blue shipping container truck that has collided with a structure, causing significant damage. The truck is positioned under a partially collapsed overpass, with debris scattered around the scene. The container is visibly damaged, and the truck's rear wheels are elevated, indicating the severity of the impact. In the foreground, a table covered with a plastic sheet holds various items, including fruits and vegetables, suggesting a market or food stall nearby. A red container and a motorcycle are also visible, adding to the scene's context.
As the video progresses, text overlays appear, providing context to the situation. The first overlay reads, 'I WITNESSED A SHOCKING SCENE,' followed by 'THAT LOOKED LIKE SOMETHING OUT OF A MOVIE!' and 'ESPECIALLY WITH KIDS AROUND.' The final overlay states, 'IT'S HEARTBREAKING TO SEE WHAT PEOPLE GO THROUGH.' These texts emphasize the unexpected and alarming nature of the incident, particularly in relation to the potential danger to children.
The video captures the aftermath of the collision, highlighting the truck's position and the extent of the damage. The text overlays serve to convey the gravity of the situation and the emotional impact on those affected.

Expansive political liberty invariably upsets right-wing cultural and social pattern preferences. That's why, while the American right has always talked in the rhetoric of liberty, it didn't just not actually mean it, but it would've in fact been ideologically incoherent for it to mean it.

Hot take: we never should have become so reliant on the information Google Maps provides about businesses in the first place.
Being in charge of updating and correcting the Google Maps entries for a bunch of businesses was extremely eye-opening to me, illustrating quite well that the situation is worse than I even thought it was. And I thought it was pretty bad.
Why are we humans so susceptible to choosing shiny neat things over the ability to decide whether putting for-profit entities in charge of de-facto public utilities is a good idea or not?

The image is a black and white photograph featuring a person wearing a suit and a coat, with a cigarette in their mouth. The background is blurred, suggesting an outdoor setting with foliage. The person is wearing a pinstripe suit and a white shirt, with a dark tie. The image has bold, white text overlaid on it, reading "HAVE A GOOD DAY OR DON'T" at the top and "NOBODY GIVES A FUCK" at the bottom. The text is in a large, sans-serif font, making it stand out against the monochrome background. The overall tone of the image is humorous and slightly irreverent, with the text contrasting the formal attire of the person.

Is a good job I braved the sludgy water yesterday, to dig out a bunch more of the weeds that had turned my garden pond into a swamp, because it rained hard enough in the last 12 hours to make it deeper and colder.
It was hot and dry this summer so I was able to do it much more easily, only calf deep and warm instead of 1.5 metres and cold, when full.
I still have a few square metres more to do, but around the edges, which I can reach without going in the water.
