An Incomplete History of Music - Part One | Presented by Charlotte Ritchie [.youtube]
"We begin our incomplete history of music at the very beginning of everything, The Big Bang, where conditions come into being so that sound can exist in the first place. We explore the difference between music and sound and debate whether music is uniquely human or do birds and whales just sing for fun."

Prosfygika Claims Victory: Hunger Strike Suspended Amid Ongoing Struggle Over Development [unicorn riot]
"Athens, Greece – A victory has been declared in Athens after two activists suspended their hunger strike following a resolution to halt the plans to evict portions of the long-standing squatted community of Prosfygika. The activists put their lives on the line to defend a collective way of life and protect 400-plus vulnerable residents from displacement."

Chris Hedges: The Joke Is On Us [consortium news]
"Antonio Gramsci warned that elitist satire is counterproductive. He called for a “passionate sarcasm,” which targets the machinery of power. Satire, he wrote, must excoriate the dominant myths and ideologies which buttress capitalism and fascism. It must expose not only the moral and intellectual bankruptcy of fascism, but acknowledge the legitimate grievances of those under its spell. It must focus on the institutions that perpetuate injustice and social inequality."

‘This is injustice’: how leftist zines were used to sentence anti-ICE protesters to decades in prison [guardian]
"Legal experts say the precedent set by the Prairieland convictions will have myriad consequences for organizing and protest, including the platforms organizers rely on to safely do that work, like the secure messaging app Signal. After the justice department used the app to gather evidence against the Prairieland defendants, Apple has since responded by patching a security bug that had allowed the government to view previously deleted messages."

Eight Federal Prairieland Defendants Sentenced Today to Prison Terms Ranging From 30-100 Years for Common Protest Activity - Support the Prairieland Defendants
"Eight Prairieland defendants were sentenced in federal court today, three months after their convictions on a variety of federal charges, including riot, material support for terrorists, attempted murder, possession and conspiracy to use explosives, and conspiracy to conceal documents. Family members and supporters, who sat stunned as US District Judges Mark Pittman and Reed O’Connor delivered sentences ranging from 30-100 years in prison, called the punishment cruel, callous and starkly disproportionate to the defendants’ actions." This is madness.

"The punishment for the protesters exceeds the lengthiest prison sentences given out for the attack on the Capitol on January 6. Enrique Tarrio, the leader of the Proud Boys who was convicted of seditious conspiracy, was sentenced to 22 years in prison. Stewart Rhodes, the leader of the far-right group the Oath Keepers, was sentenced to 18 years in prison."

"On June 9th of this year, the President of the Southern Poverty Law Center testified that “Hate has migrated into the government.” Into the government. The Hate is Right Here. The government, in their secret motion to give me a life sentence, calls me “The Embodiment of Antifa.” Because what they really want to Bury is an Idea. What They Hate is the very Idea of Being Against Racism. The Hate is Right Here."

"Es sind die vielen Suizide der Betroffenen von ME, die Nicole Spillmann besonders beunruhigen. Als Präsidentin des Vereins ME/CFS Schweiz setzt sie sich seit 17 Jahren für Betroffene und deren Angehörige ein. Tatsächlich ist das Risiko für Suizid bei ME im Vergleich zur Allgemeinbevölkerung um ein Siebenfaches höher. «Die Betroffenen sind schon so lange unterversorgt und haben von der Politik so wenig Hoffnung vermittelt bekommen. Das ist katastrophal», sagt sie im Gespräch nach der Aktion auf dem Europaplatz. «Trotz allem müssen wir hoffnungsvoll bleiben – wir haben keine andere Wahl»."

"The May 2026 global surface temperature was the second-highest in the 177-year record, at 1.07°C (1.93°F) above the 20th-century average. The month trailed only May 2024, which holds the record at 1.15°C (2.07°F). All 10 of the warmest Mays on record (1850–2026) have occurred since 2016. Notably, this month marked the 50th consecutive May with a global temperature departure above the 20th-century average. The last below-average May occurred half a century ago in 1976 (-0.17°C / -0.31°F)."

Essay: Das Schweigen dazwischen [woz]
"Die Kunst dieses (post)dokumentarischen Theaters läge vielleicht gerade darin, das Archiv doppelt lesen zu lernen. Es könnte dabei jenen Aspekt aufgreifen, der mit der Metapher vom schwarzen und weissen Feuer beschrieben wurde, jenes Schweigen also, das zwischen den Dingen liegt: all jene Aufstände auf den Sklav:innenbooten, von denen wir nichts wissen, weil niemand mehr davon berichten konnte oder weil die Berichte in kein Archiv Eingang fanden."

The Strip Club is a Haunted House | Alison Rose Reed [substack]
The Strip Club is a Haunted House | Alison Rose Reed [substack]
"Tech billionaires want to be more than human by making us less. AI is their wet dream of fully automating gendered labor. To make a mockery of emotional intimacy with little yes-men. To render us redundant so they don’t have to face their creator. Or their fear of dying, also of living, by which I mean loving. They want the human experience of fragmentation to disguise our wholeness and create more suffering. They don’t want us to respect the extraordinary capacity of the human body to feel and so to know, its intelligence imbued with the power to hold the whole of us. They want us to anesthetize the parts they broke and recognize them, not the brokenness itself, as what makes us holy."

"Es ist ein mieses Gefühl, wenn man merkt, wie kaputt die Welt ist, während man selbst versucht, irgendwie klarzukommen. Das Diazepam macht die Welt zwar für einen Moment leiser, aber die Scheiße draußen bleibt leider laut. [...] Dass ich niemanden mehr hab, mit dem ich darüber reden kann, außer einem dummen Bot, ist ein Armutszeugnis für die Welt da draußen, nicht für mich."

"Messi nodded along and smiled as Trump complimented Rodrigo De Paul, his teammate at both Inter Miami and the Argentine national team, for his good looks. Condemnation came within minutes of the publicized photos of the team with Trump, including one of Messi shaking his hand. Fans lamented that Messi could have instead used his platform for any number of good causes—or just stayed away. “The talent of your legs,” Argentine journalist Fernando Borroni said following the meeting, “has not and cannot cure the insensitivity of your hands.”

From Hitler's Olympics to Trump's World Cup [znetwork]
"The difference from what happened before and during the Berlin Olympics is striking. In contrast to the resignation prevailing in 2026, movements to boycott the 1936 Olympics—which brought thousands of demonstrators into the streets—had emerged in the United States, France, Great Britain, the Netherlands, Sweden, and Czechoslovakia. These movements were unable to prevent the Berlin Olympics from taking place, but they effectively articulated their anti-fascist cause, alerting the public and mobilizing anti-racist vanguards by fighting on a class-based line against supporters of the Olympics and other admirers of Hitler."

À nouveau, l’anarchisme [à bas bruit]
"Dans des paysages anarchiques, des alliances peuvent avoir lieu sans condition d’identité. Les différences communiquent avec les autres par des différences de différences, disait Deleuze. « Les anarchies couronnées se substituent aux hiérarchies de la représentation ; les distributions nomades, aux distributions sédentaires de la représentation ». Cultiver des rapports à l’altérité c’est apprendre que les autres ont toujours leurs autres. Que notre ici aura toujours des ailleurs avec leurs propres ailleurs."

Revisiting the Painful Truth of Long COVID [substack]
"People trying to live with Long COVID are not inactive because they are irrational. They are inactive because activity makes them worse. Activity avoidance, in this context, is not maladaptive. Abstaining from exercise is not the risky proposition that less-experienced investigators assert. It is self-protection."

"Unter dem Begriff «Antifaschistische Aktion» operieren in der Schweiz beispielsweise Organisationen, die wichtige Recherchearbeit zu Rechtsextremismus leisten. Ein Verbot träfe nicht nur Steinewerfer*innen, sondern auch diejenigen, die dokumentieren, wer in diesem Land Hakenkreuze malt – was in der Schweiz übrigens noch immer nicht grundsätzlich verboten ist."

Long COVID Changed Everything
Long COVID Changed Everything
Long COVID did not simply introduce a new chronic illness. It exposed the limits of a healthcare system built around the assumption that illnesses are only fully real once they become visible through testing. And once that assumption began to fail, something unsettling became visible: many patients with Long COVID were encountering patterns of disbelief that chronically ill people had been describing for decades."
