An excellent postmortem on the September 10th presidential debate.

Rachel Maddow led a panel discussion at MSNBC which began immediately after the debate concluded.

I was going to do a post with my own observations about the debate. However the MSNBC panel said what I wanted to say and they said it a whole lot better.

They said Trump "got destroyed". But the real destruction won't come until the votes are counted in the first week of November. So build on current good news rather than rest on it.

In the minds of neoliberal and conservative world leaders, western civilization is a collapsing box. Inside the box, we have habitable land and intact supply lines. Basically, we have the means of survival divvied up by the norms of capitalism. As habitable land decreases and supply lines break, the capitalist solution is not to help the land or displaced people recover. It’s to push more people out of the box as it collapses. From the neoliberal perspective, this will be framed as a matter of pragmatism and inevitability. From a fascist perspective, it will be framed as a recovery of the natural order. Borders are one of the primary mechanisms by which people are boxed out of potential realms of survival. But even within those habitable realms, mechanisms of carcerality also subdivide our access to resources and livable conditions through various modes of containment, including house arrest, institutionalization, and the use of jails and prisons. Deprivation and debilitation are imposed externally and internally by leaders whose primary role is the maintenance of capitalist norms. As mass migration leads to increased conservatism, and mass death and mass murder are further normalized, we will need resistance movements grounded in an ethics of care and a refusal to abandon one another. Antifascist and anti-authoritarian politics must exist in opposition to ideas about human disposability that will be adopted as common sense by the majority of the public. The pandemic has already widened the scope of normalized disposability in the US, with those who cannot survive COVID infections being deemed expendable for the sake of capitalist normalcy.

'Trump got destroyed': See Maddow and MSNBC panel instantly react to his...

This is a good, serious analysis.

How much sach is too much sach

We have known for some time that we are living in apocalyptic times. There are moments when the level of catastrophe the world is experiencing feels closer or more threatening, and at such times, our reactions are more visceral. But when we look at climate catastrophe and other global threats that vulnerable people around the world are less insulated from, it’s clear that our situation has been quite extreme for some time. We in the United States have a habit of clinging to normalcy as the world burns. Now, as the situation at home spirals further, we must decide whether we will choose to organize and build power like people living amid catastrophe or retreat inward, burying ourselves in escapism. I am asking you to do the former. Figure out what you need to do. If you don’t know where to begin, refer to the last edition of this newsletter. Come what may, we will need strong networks of community members who are deeply invested in their shared values and one another’s survival. Now is the time to build those connections, sharpen your skills, and build the rebellious culture of care we’ll need to defend each other in this decaying empire.  To wage the fight ahead, we need to make space for joy and grief, and we have to work hard, fam. If you don’t know how to do the work that’s required of us, it’s time to learn. (In addition to reading Let This Radicalize You, I strongly recommend the resource list in the Let This Radicalize You Workbook. You can get a free PDF copy of the workbook or order a hard copy here.) What’s most important is that we do not give up on each other. We are all worth fighting for, and nothing that’s happening in the world has changed that. So let’s gear up for the long fight, and let’s love each other fiercely. These are uncertain times, so let’s make every day count. Much love, Kelly

Death Curse of Tartu (1966)

"Now look, Billy, the human brain is very mysterious. Sometimes it makes us see things that don't exist and hear things that never were."

"How do you explain the people that were killed, then?"

Lighthead's Guide to the Galaxy  // Terrance Hayes

Ladies and gentlemen, ghosts and children of the state, I am here because I could never get the hang of Time. This hour, for example, would be like all the others were it not for the rain falling through the roof. I’d better not be too explicit. My night is careless with itself, troublesome as a woman wearing no bra in winter. I believe everything is a metaphor for sex. Lovemaking mimics the act of departure, moonlight drips from the leaves. You can spend your whole life doing no more than preparing for life and thinking. "Is this all there is?" Thus, I am here where poets come to drink a dark strong poison with tiny shards of ice, something to loosen my primate tongue and its syllables of debris. I know all words come from preexisting words and divide until our pronouncements develop selves. The small dog barking at the darkness has something to say about the way we live. I’d rather have what my daddy calls “skrimp.” He says “discrete” and means the street just out of sight. Not what you see, but what you perceive: that’s poetry. Not the noise, but its rhythm; an arrangement of derangements; I’ll eat you to live: that’s poetry. I wish I glowed like a brown-skinned pregnant woman. I wish I could weep the way my teacher did as he read us Molly Bloom’s soliloquy of yes. When I kiss my wife, sometimes I taste her caution. But let’s not talk about that. Maybe Art’s only purpose is to preserve the Self. Sometimes I play a game in which my primitive craft fires upon an alien ship whose intention is the destruction of the earth. Other times I fall in love with a word like somberness. Or moonlight juicing naked branches. All species have a notion of emptiness, and yet the flowers don’t quit opening. I am carrying the whimper you can hear when the mouth is collapsed, the wisdom of monkeys. Ask a glass of water why it pities the rain. Ask the lunatic yard dog why it tolerates the leash. Brothers and sisters, when you spend your nights out on a limb, there’s a chance you’ll fall in your sleep.

It’s not a blessing It’s not a curse A crystal technicolor neon tour-de-force It’s not a feeling feeling You can describe A secret lexicon of love behind your eyes All my life I’ve been searching for that nectar deep in my bones A sweet molasses tooth ache of desire It’s not correctible It’s homosexual

If it���s all my fault Then it’s all your fault ‘Cause if man was created in the image of God Then maybe she’s a homosexual
