Lateinamerika Nachrichten-Beutel mit langem Henkel und der wunderschönen Negro Matapacos-Illustration vom Illustrator Joan Farías Luan.

Der Negro Matapacos war ein schwarzer Hund, der durch seine Teilnahme an den Studierendenprotesten in Chile 2010/2011 bekannte geworden ist. An seinem Hals trug er stets ein rotes Tuch und ist damit bis heute ein Symbol der Proteste gegen das neoliberale System in Chile.

This is why we can best understand the warlord or the mafia not as an alternative or enemy of the state, but rather as near-peer competitors. All of these phenomena start with the same roots and differ only in terms of scale and the degree to which subject peoples have gotten used to and conditioned to their rule.

The state is, in other words, merely the most successful warlord, the most expansive mafia.

The state, the warlord, the mafia outfit, and the landlord—feudal or modern—are all just ultimately expressions of the same violent, extractivist phenomenon. And just as we do not need the warlord or the landlord to coordinate complex social activities, defend ourselves from harm, or enjoy the fruits of science and literature, we do not need the state for any of these either.

Back in med school, the molecular machinery in skeletal muscle units or sarcomeres fascinated me. From a certain pov the mechanism seems obvious, yet it is exquisitely intricate. Ratchet like myosin heads drag along actin filaments to create contraction using ATP and calcium to create cyclical movement.

trying to upgrade my streaming rig so I can play some more modern games; can some people who know computers better tell me if any of these will work?

Something I'd like to see in writing a lot more often:
"More than 1,600 American children have died of Covid - nearly 80% of them after in-person learning resumed in 2021 - but we talk about their experience of Covid now primarily in terms of school closings and learning loss."
