First, I was told by a total MSNBC-watching, immigrant neoliberal mom that she took out a book on Kamala Harris for her son. Made me look at her different after that. Contempt then gave way to pity.

The propaganda machine relentlessly churns on, while we have this place.

What’s the latest in The Rat? I bet that overly ambitious robot mf-er is gearing up big-time for another run.

Get me the fuck out of this surveillance police state, capitalist dystopia!

At least my kids know better when they see cops, the flag or advertising, all of which are suspect to them now.

      Isn’t that inherently disgusting though? I feel like there’s this Sanctity we grant books where if something is in a book its seen as having things to say worth preserving.

      I think its cheap and skeezy, particularly when these books get dumped into a library like its a garbage bin.

      But there's nothing magical about books as a medium.

      It also ya know, takes trees to make. If a book is more useful as kindling to keep warm than for the information contained within, think we as a society should see it as shameful that it got published.

      I agree on principle, but I have no idea how a capitalist society organizes such a principle in practice.
