Moby Dick is the story of Trump's presidency.

The use of operational war images seems especially noteworthy to me. They're unlocking the affective thrill of technical imagery of murder. It's scary shit.

The Trump Administration can’t even impose its will on Minneapolis when the full force of the federal government was focused on it, but surely they will be able to pacify and remake Iran, a nation of 90 million people halfway around the world.

What can meat eating tell us about Western authoritarians? What can ideas about white manhood tell us about white supremacists' fetishization of meat & mammalian milk? What can ICE recruitment ads tell us about settler colonialism & its relationship to eating animals? This & more, March 26.

Epstein, ‘Lolita’ and a Culture of Disembodiment

Screenshot of New York Times article quoted in post.

Question: Define the sexual politics of meat. Answer: "Epstein, ‘Lolita’ and a Culture of Disembodiment
Disturbing images released in the Epstein files showing passages from Nabokov’s infamous novel written on bodies exemplify a world where women and girls are treated as objects for consumption."

One of my favourite sides of politics/media.

Netanyahu says Trump’s his poodle and a very good boy.

American soldiers may die in Operation Epstein Fury — but they will die with the name of Jeffrey Epstein on their lips.

Nick Fuentes, misogynist neo-Nazi apologized in court (via Zoom & a letter, but still he had to APOLOGIZE) to vegan feminist Marla Rose today. He still must do community service for having been charged w/ assaulting her. On the Zoom chat, I had fun posting to Nick "Your body, the Judge's choice."

Judith Herman wrote, "All the perpetrator asks is that the bystander do nothing. He appeals to the universal desire to see, hear & speak no evil. The victim on the contrary asks the bystander to share the burden of pain. The victim demands action, engagement & remembering" Howard Lutnick we see you.

This seems such an inept way of addressing the problem. Why not meet our goals by teaching people about vegan bacon, made at home or purchased? Bacon is dead pig flesh flavored; so use the flavors on tofu, tempeh, seitan, mushrooms, carrots, chickpeas and discover your taste buds can be fooled.

‘Big Four’ meatpackers under fire as beef prices soar McDonald’s and other food industry players accuse the big beef packers of collusion and price-gouging. The packers deny these allegations

In this article, we are given a definition of “fed cattle” as "cattle fattened in feedlots and ready for slaughter"; one wishes for a copy editor who asked, "ready" according to whose definition? Do the cattle agree? @theguardian.com www.theguardian.com/us-news/ng-i...

Thanks to Bloomsbury Academic for hosting this event!!!

Yet again Rep. Al Green understood the assignment.

He was kicked out by the "no safe space" and anti cancel culture crowd.

Five members of the US Men’s Gold Medal Hockey team have refused Trump’s White House invitation.

Four of them are from Minnesota.

This is how you resist.

You don’t participate in misogynistic locker room talk.

You don’t disparage other members of your sport.

You don’t visit fascists.

Republicans instantly haunted by the consequences of their own actions, an ongoing series

giddy up

Images like the one juxtaposed with your question, reinforce the idea of white female vulnerability, can be experienced as pornographic, and rely on comparison or association rather than interconnection & insight. I'd rather discuss how I am against forced pregnancies for any species.

I would not use it. It can be triggering & thus can do harm. Other words can convey the violence of the dairy industry. I noticed in the past ten years that often it was white male vegans who were using it in their approach to (or arguments with) feminists. Why not let feminists talk to feminists?

And doesn't require the forced pregnancies of mother or death of a child.

The president, who drones on about protecting women’s sports, publicly mocked the women’s gold-medal hockey team. A reminder this was never about protecting women’s sports and it was always about transphobia and misogyny.

it's molting season for RFK Jr

France curtails US Ambassador Kushner's government access after he fails to obey summons US Ambassador Charles Kushner "did not appear" after being formally summoned over comments the Trump administration made about the killing of a far-right activist in France, the foreign ministry said…

I'm shocked that a man who hired a prostitute to seduce his brother-in-law and then sent a recording of the encounter to his sister is not a good ambassador. www.france24.com/en/france/20...

LEFT: Where Kash Patel was.

RIGHT: Where Patel was supposed to be—investigating an apparent assassination plot at Mar-a-Lago, one that saw a Trump voter angry about Trump, Patel, and Bondi protecting pedophiles charge the property with a shotgun and gasoline before being killed.

Donald Trump acting like he's read the dissents is the Trumpiest thing ever.
