Do you have a source on this? I'm not seeing anything about an attack on the Suez.

In response to the growing threat to commercial shipping in the Red Sea, Hong Kong-based shipping company OOCL has announced Sunday the ban of shipments to and from "Israel". According to Israeli media, the port of "Eilat" has also been completely disabled. OOCL's headquarters are in Hong Kong, and it has announced it will immediately end its shipment of Israeli goods whether imported or exported to all destinations. In a statement published on its website, the company wrote “Due to operational issues, OOCL will stop cargo acceptance to and from Israel with immediate effect until further notice."

OOCL, welcome to the Resistance. Glad to see at least some shipping companies are avoiding the capital strike by stopping all cargo going through the Red Sea and instead are just stopping the handling of all goods to and from "Israel." Probably not a coincidence that the large shipping conglomerate who decides not to join the capital strike is based in Hong Kong.

That's the neat part, it doesn't! Empire is always enforced with military occupation, even if sometimes that military occupation takes the form of so-called "police forces."

If you are buying stocks for "retirement" (who the fuck knows if that'll pan out, eh) then no, don't sell. Just buy a total stock market fund like VT and never think about it until you're retired. If you need the money in the next 5 years, yes sell right now and don't buy stocks; only do that with long time horizons for your money.

Kagi is fantastic, but you gotta pay for it.

Mitski was born Mitsuki Laycock on September 27, 1990, in Mie Prefecture, Japan to an American father and a Japanese mother. Her first language was Japanese. She moved frequently while growing up due to her father's job at the United States Department of State, living in Turkey, China, Malaysia, the Czech Republic, and the Democratic Republic of the Congo before settling in the United States.

What kind of "foreign service officer" (as he calls himself) spends almost a decade in Zaire? Mostly a meme that got way outta hand on Tumblr years ago, with people writing crazy fan fiction about how her dad's a war criminal. But chances are he was CIA, since he was fairly senior in the State Department as a foreign service officer for like two or three decades. Not guaranteed CIA, and an analyst role at best, but very probably was working for the CIA in some capacity.

It's between that and Caroline's Desire, I Want to Turn Into You for me. Mitski, even though her dad was CIA, is such a wonderful artist.

Did you just call JPEGMafia "mid" and a "bigot"???? I will not have such slander against Peggy on this wholesome internet forum. "I Just Killed a Cop And Now I'm Horny," which actually samples audio of a real life pig being shot, is iconic. Communist Slow Jams is a wonderful album. One of the covers of the album in this very list features our boy Kim Jong Un with the wettest President we've ever laid eyes on. Take back your slander, foul demon.

(also Lankum are a fantastic Irish folk group that make incredibly eerie and intoxicating songs, and they had all their gigs in Germany cancelled last month because they're pro-Palestine)

Actually a fantastic point I've never thought about before. When you put it like that it's so incredibly obvious, but just never conceptualised it like that. Thank you.
