  • Old Articles about anti-Zionism and Zionism by Jewish Communists

    Articles from the Marxists International Archive about Jewish Communist and Socialist anti-Zionism, mainly from before 1948.

  • Kare, Curry, anti-Imperialism, Colonization

    https://www.diasporaco.com/blogs/journal/japanese-curry-the-curious-journey-of-colonization-and-globalization-that-led-to-japan-s-favorite-dish It’s fascinating that curry was associated with the British. Then, later, Indian Curry became a thing, but less common. In a different article (which I need to find) it says the curry restaurant was owned by a guy organizing for Indian independence, and got Japanese VIPs to align with Indian nationalists against the British…

  • The Purpose of Antisemitism in White Supremacy

    White nationalists believe that all of their problems with society are created by an organized conspiracy of Jewish people who are motivating and pushing immigration laws, civil rights laws, And it’s a belief system that in many ways disregards people of color so that it’s not possible that that organizing is coming from actual racial…

  • Ghost Kitchens and Food Marketing

    I’m really enjoying reading What’s it Like Working in a Ghost Kitchen. It’s interesting how I don’t really think of retail restaurants correctly – I think that the shop is producing all the products sold there. They aren’t.

    Have you ever needed a measuring cup, but didn’t want to use your cooking measuring cups, because you were going to measure something like an automotive fluid?

  • Hot Dog Water Ice Sculptures

    Hot Dog Water Ice Sculptures

    I hate art like this, but this makes good points about the relationship between wealth, capitalism, charity, and art. The artist made ice sculptures of hot dogs from hot dog waste water, sold them, and mailed them out. @sunday.nobody.art ♬ original sound – Sunday Nobody Art I think it’s a good demonstration of how a…

  • Why does a candidate sometimes win the popular vote, but lose the Electoral College vote?

    There are some misconceptions floating around about this. I’ll note them in parentheses in my explanation below: The people’s votes do not directly choose the president. The Electoral College (EC) makes the final decision, following its own rules and the laws of each state. The EC gives a number of votes to each state based…

  • Stockhausen vs. Zorn

    I thought this would be a matchup of dissonance, but it’s not feeling this way at all. It feels like classical versus jazz/rock, and it’s difficult to compare. https://brackethq.com/b/82sib/ More on this later, when I figure out which is going to win this. Zorn has the edge. This setup was just a bad idea. I…
