My piece on blowing up the World Wide Web: “the world will not be free until the last tech bro is strangled with the entrails of the last computer programmer.”

"Charlie Kirk, latest martyr of American Christendom, is exemplary of how the evangelical cult makes a mockery of the tenets of Jesus of Nazareth."

On the State of Environmental Journalism, by @cketchamwild open.substack.com/pub/ketcham99/…

AI is making us stupider than the stupidity the internet (especially Twitter) has already inculcated in Homo technologicus. My op-ed piece in the LA Times: latimes.com/opinion/story/…

"Trump’s latest upending of conservation policy will be a disaster for wild landscapes and the creatures who live in them." My piece on the proposed rescission of the "roadless rule" in national forests: truthdig.com/articles/the-r…

It *can* happen here! US fascist shitheads on the rise, driven by Christian nationalism and oligarch cash. My interview with author @kathsstewart about her latest book MONEY, LIES, AND GOD thebaffler.com/latest/burn-do…

howdy all: this winter I spent a week camping with an anonymous Livestock Saboteur in the wilds of the Arizona high country. Here's my account of our trip together: thebaffler.com/salvos/wrenchi…

Apropos of the United Healthcare CEO assassination, see my 2023 piece about Stephen P. McRae, "The Machine Breaker." "We discussed taking down the enemy—the Fortune 500 CEOs, say—and how the world would be a better place if they were all beheaded." Yep. harpers.org/archive/2023/1…

My piece, titled "Eat, Pray Pollute," on the needed death of tourism and the end of “the spectacled surveillance of place that effectively turns home, for local residents, into a turnstile Disneyland.” counterpunch.org/2024/09/30/eat…

My piece in the @nytimes on the unconscionable repression of environmental defenders in Europe: nytimes.com/2024/08/18/opi…

How the U.K. is spearheading the repression of climate protest: truthdig.com/articles/worki…

The Israelis, innovative as always, have pioneered an artificial intelligence-powered murder machine. Go Israel! Kill ‘em all!! truthdig.com/articles/repor…

My round-up of the events of climate death spiral year of our lord 2023. Happy new year! 2024 will be even worse. truthdig.com/articles/the-t…

I'm a freelance editor for @truthdig, and one of my fave pieces I've worked on is about the unconscionable frauds who make up the Effective Altruism movement, hotbed of wealthy predators pretending concern for humanity @EACambridgeUK

"McRae hated coal-burning power plants, but even more he hated gold mines. Love of gold was for McRae a form of civilizational degeneracy, because of the pollution associated with it, the catastrophic disruption of soil, the poisoning of water and air." harpers.org/archive/2023/1…

This month I have the cover story in Harper’s. It’s about an ecosaboteur vs the Megamachine. harpers.org/archive/2023/1…

My call in the New York Times to stop lawless rancher Cliven Bundy's unceasing destruction of the Nevada desert. What's needed is immediate round-up of his cattle herd that runs amok in a fragile biome. Hell, shoot the cows. nytimes.com/2023/09/27/opi…

My article at @Truthdig on technoindustrial society's pillaging the earth "for the climate." Lithium mining in Nevada, say the Indians there, is just another iteration of the white man's rapacious ways, but now dressed up in green.

From @Cat_Early76 we learn that "renewable energy is a dominant driver of development pressure" on indigenous people and their lands. Industrial civilization, oil-fueled but now green-fueled, must keep itself humming along, to hell with the natives.

To all the putative adults who, out of whatever combination of deficient intellect, broken spirit, lowered standards, and pop culture mindlessness, are celebrating the @Barbie movie, I give you…my tween daughter…@Mattel's target audience for sales of plastic (1/5)

"Because you shouldn’t have 35 careers and a mansion." I asked what she thought of the color pink. "It’s the most ridiculous color I’ve ever witnessed in the universe!" Why is that? “It’s too girly for me." (4/5)

She suggested an illustration for an article, if I should write one on this subject: a Barbie with no hands or legs, driving her fancy-ass car off a cliff with Ken. Ken is screaming, “I only wanted to paint the house pink!”
