Evelyn Samarajiwa, 1924-2024I'm trying to write this as my children squall around me, much as Achchi tried to go to the bathroom while taking care of my baby sister, who gleefully pulled all the toilet paper to the floor. Achchi physically raised us, and it's physically painful now that she's gone. I remember imagining her death as a young child ...
Tainter's famous graphArtificial Intelligence, self-checkout, electric cars, reusable rockets. Modern 'innovation' doesn't actually create anything new (nouns), it just adds more complication to existing technology (adjectives). Modern civilization is just getting more and more complicated, which only makes it more fragile. Indeed, we are witnessing precisely what Joseph Tainter described in his book, The Collapse Of Complex Societies. Joe said:It ...
What it feels like voting these daysI'm in Britain (extracting my wife) and it's surreal watching these people talk about their election. Brits talk about their school fees while every school in Gaza is destroyed. They talk about saving their National Health Service while their national savings goes to bombing every hospital in Gaza. There is a whole genocide being ...

An old but accurate map of White EmpireWhite Empire is merely capitolized in America. The beating Heart of Whiteness is in America, but beatings are delivered across two oceans. Across the Pacific, its tentacles grip the testicles of Australia, Japan, and South Korea, along with innumerable island chains. Across the Atlantic, its left arm is shoved up the ass of ...
CNN Panelists After The Debate, by Jean-Léon GérômeJoe Biden has been getting old in public for 81 years, this was not news. It's literally olds. The political and news castes made this a story in 2024, in an attempt to overthrow him. You could see the conventional logic turn overnight, like someone couped the radio and TV stations. The talking ...
Just a random screengrab. It's all bad. They're not sending their bestAt this point, America is running on genocidal autopilot—like a Boeing 737 MAX—with no one in charge. Like Joe Biden, the 737 is a 1960s airframe repurposed for this century, with disastrous results. Biden's debate performance showed the 'center' what everyone to the left and right had been saying ...
Calvin and Hobbes by Bill Watterson for June 02, 1988The simplest way to understand America is to pretend it's Opposites Day. The 'free market' is, in fact, violent coercion. 'Liberal democracy' is in fact fascist oligarchy. 'Freedom' is debt slavery. 'Human rights' are 'property rights'. The 'rules-based order' actually means the violation of international law. Once you see things this ...
Light coming into the world, Belihuloya, Sri LankaAllah definitely talks to me. I just don't listen. There are signs everywhere and we're fiddling with our phones instead of looking at the road. As the poet Björk said:All is full of loveYou just ain't receivingAll is full of loveYour phone is off the hookAll is full of loveYour doors are shutAll ...
Author with his nephew, long may he liveI'm watching my son drink water nervously. It's my water and there seems to be more backwashing than forward drinking. Then I feel nauseous, not because of that, because of all the children that aren't drinking clean water at all. Gaza is the epicenter of a global epic. The rise and fall of ...
What I call Amma Palestine, by Mahmoud AbbasAfter 11/9/2001, America killed at least 4.5 million people across the Muslim world. For decades, they have been just starving, torturing, and killing Muslims all over the Middle East. America drove at least 38 million people from their homes. Countless died of deprivation, especially children. America has starved more than 7.6 million children ...
Mizu, who is not my dog. My dog sucks and has just broken a glass jar to steal the cat's foodIf we're judging human achievements, we're not fit to judge. We should ask someone who doesn't have a dog in the fight, like a dog for example. I'm with a dog right now and she does not care about TV ...
“The Equipment is Evenly Distributed”, from Pirates!In Sri Lanka I can't watch football online even if I'm willing to pay for it. Paid services like FUBO won't even let me sign up. Instead, I have to get a satellite TV connection and they have to drill a hole in my wall and I don't want to do that. So I ...
Hezbollah publishes what I call a 'quarterly report'. It's like the jihadi earnings call. The topline numbers (as of June) are that they have conducted 2,125 military operations (total), inflicted 2,000+ casualties on the IOF, and decolonized land 35 km deep into occupied Palestine, unsettling over 230,000 settlers. It's been another bad quarter of genocide from the IOF, and a ...
Old box I found at my Achchi'sWhen I was young, I remember my father as a devout atheist. But he told me to read the Bible, as the foundation to western literature. My mother is a Buddhist and she taught us breathing and took us to doze off in various temples but it never really clicked until she took me ...
In the latest episode of America's Long Retreat, the reincarnation of Dwight D. Eisenhower has gotten spanked in the Red Sea. One on butt cheek, they have been hit by Yemen. On May 31st, Yemeni spokesman Yahya Saree Telegram'd that, “the Yemeni Armed Forces carried out a joint military operation targeting the American aircraft carrier “Eisenhower” in the Red Sea. ...
Pippi the cat, at some indeterminate point before he bites meAfter October 7th, every American media company came under wartime censorship. Censorship usually refers to state action, but America is ruled by corporations, so it's a moot point. The Board of every US media company has a Zionist member on it, and the place I made most of my money—Medium—was ...
The brave and devout Palestinian people, still turning to Allah (via)After October 7th, 'Israel's' stated goal was eliminating Hamas. Specifically, destroying the Al Qassam Brigade's ability to 1) leave Gaza 2) launch rockets 3) exist at all. On all three counts 'Israel' has lost. As spokesman Abu Obeida (who is notably not dead) said in late May, “despite their genocide ...
“Let me tell you about America exceptionalism.” Still from American PsychoThe White Empire under America is historically unique. Many empires have conquered earth, a few have conquered sea, but only one has dominated air so completely. America is the final and most fearsome avatar of White Empire, which had all the elements under its command. Earth, water, and air all ...
'Israel' has completely lost the north of occupied Palestine. It's under fire and on fire every day now. Hezbollah has methodically eye-poked 'Israel's' intelligence outposts and is literally blasting them in the nuts every day, on camera. The map above shows the new line of control for occupied Palestine, as reported by the thinking man's Der Stürmer, Haaretz. 'Israel' has ...
