Virtually every film in modern memory ends with some variation of the same disclaimer: “This is a work of fiction. Any similarity to actual persons, living or dead, or actual events, is purely coincidental.” The cut-and-paste legal rider must be the most boring thing in every movie that features it. Who knew its origins were so lurid?

For that we can indirectly thank none other than Grigori Rasputin, the famously hard-to-assassinate Russian mystic and intimate of the last, doomed Romanovs.

I figured that was the story being told in the song.
She doesn't come back. She leaves him. The Dear John last verse is final even if it sounds sweet and conciliatory. The song is *her* story not his. And, even as a young'un, I suspected her tone was that of somebody trying not provoke a new bout of bad behavior.

Fast forward 30 years ...
"Somebody I Used to Know" is the exact same song.

@Techaltar I completely agree with you. I’ve got rid of all US services, apart from Instagram and YouTube.

@RealGene @HopelessDemigod yet it is still true

I've just read that Dolly Parton, in addition to the 3000-odd songs she wrote that we know about, also has a whole unreleased back catalogue of material she intended to be released posthumously to keep her estate funded, so her philanthropic work could continue after her death.

It's often said that James Brown was the hardest working man in the music industry. Well, I think Dolly must have been the hardest working woman.

Everyone reading this will be dead when Dolly stops releasing new music!

In January 2026, Modern Times, a for-profit café in Minneapolis, changed their business model to offer food to everyone for free, running on donations alone as a way to support the community through the ICE occupation and cease paying sales tax to an authoritarian government.

This design celebrates freedom of movement and the ability to glide across fictitious borders without stigma. And a full-throated FUCK YOU to those who would imprison us in those borders, and would imprison those who would cross them in cages.

These high-quality stickers are priced to sell in quantity, to decorate your block, protect an area from fascist recruiting, and give them to sympathetic friends and family.

2.4"x3" 2-color die-cut easy peel stickers printed on eggshell vinyl: easy for you to remove from the backing, dang near impossible for them to remove from whatever you stick em to (see post here about how that works: https://kolektiva.social/@municipaladhesives/108573012036295074 ).

The US is targeting the anarchist collective that hosts the popular Noblogs wordpress platform as terrorists. This is truly batshit (as are their various obvious lies about Rose City Antifa etc).

This is a HUGE attack on basic free speech.

Open Letter: Communications Infrastructure Is Not Terrorism
Defend Autistici/Inventati and the right to build resistant communication

On August 26, 2026, the United States designated the Italian volunteer technology collective Autistici/Inventati as a Specially Designated Global Terrorist and placed it on the Specially Designated Nationals list under Executive Order 13224. A temporary authorization covering certain wind-down transactions ends at 12:01 a.m. Eastern on September 25.

Autistici/Inventati has provided noncommercial email, websites, mailing lists, Noblogs and other communications services since 2001. It emerged from Italian hacklabs, autonomous media and social movements. Its infrastructure was built in response to censorship, covert surveillance and server seizures. It minimizes identifying data, uses distributed systems and treats privacy as a condition of political participation rather than a product.

The United States' public announcements point to material and organizations that allegedly used A/I infrastructure. They do not publicly show that A/I planned the cited actions, selected targets, directed users or authored hosted material. The designation therefore raises a question extending far beyond one collective: can maintaining privacy-preserving communications infrastructure for disfavored movements itself be treated as terrorism?

That theory threatens independent hosts, encrypted communications services, radical libraries, movement archives, publishers and small volunteer projects everywhere. It invites banks, registrars, hosting companies and technology providers to sever relationships first and ask legal questions later. It turns data minimization into suspicion, privacy into concealment and infrastructure into guilt by association.

Large commercial platforms are ordinarily distinguished from the speech and conduct of their users through intermediary-liability principles, including Section 230 in the United States. Those protections are not absolute and do not override sanctions law. That is precisely why this designation is so consequential: executive sanctions power can impose economic isolation without resolving the ordinary question of whether a provider is legally responsible for third-party material in court.

Autistici/Inventati is not politically neutral, and neither are many of the publications, libraries, unions and civil-liberties organizations that may sign this letter. Political affinity, however, is not operational control. Providing an email account, publishing platform or server is not the same act as planning everything a user may later say or do.
We therefore call for:

The immediate revocation or prompt, transparent review of the designation, with publication of the factual and legal basis sufficient for meaningful public scrutiny and challenge.

A clear distinction between providing communications infrastructure and directing the conduct of its users. Privacy, encryption, pseudonymity and refusal to retain unnecessary identifying data must not be treated as evidence of terrorism.

Protection for independent reporting, research, archiving and public advocacy. Journalists, libraries, researchers and community archivists must be able to document this history without being treated as extensions of a designated entity.

Resistance to institutional over-compliance. Banks, registrars, hosts, certificate providers and technology companies should disclose relevant restrictions, provide notice where lawful and avoid suppressing material or relationships beyond what the law actually requires.

A public response from digital-rights, free-expression and civil-liberties institutions. The targeting of autonomous infrastructure cannot be allowed to become a precedent through silence.
We do not ask every signer to endorse every A/I user, publication or political position. We ask signers to defend a foundational distinction: communications infrastructure is not identical to the speech or conduct transmitted through it.

The purpose of economic designation is isolation. Our answer is independent, informed and disciplined solidarity: preserve the public record, examine the government's claims, resist over-compliance and defend the ability of movements to communicate without surrendering themselves to corporate or state surveillance.

*Kolektiva Statement in Solidarity with Autistici / Inventati*

In the face of the US Treasury and State Department's recent designation of the Autistici / Inventati collective as a Specially Designated Global Terrorist entity, Kolektiva declares our full, unequivocal support to our Italian comrades, and to all those who seek to protect our movements from the clutches of states, surveillance capitalists, and other agents of social control.

Today, as we bear witness to the rise of authoritarian and fascist regimes all around the world, supporting independent and autonomous digital infrastructure has become more important than ever. Anarchist, anti-authoritarian and autonomous movements have centuries of experience fighting and resisting state repression, whatever scope, shape or tactic it has assumed. Today is just another of those moments.

Yet despite the many ways that the State's attacks have adapted and evolved over the years, one thing remains the same: the most effective resistance has always been rooted in collective and international solidarity! Our networks are deep and wide. We're always two or three people away from being in contact with any collective anywhere in the world. And that's where our strength lies.

This is a call for material and practical solidarity with the fantastic people from Autistici / Inventati, but it is also a broader call for political groups and collectives to redouble our efforts to build resilient networks of autonomous infrastructure, and to properly maintain and support them over time.

We need to be creative. Even if we don't all have the specific technical skills to code or maintain network infrastructure, the time to volunteer as a moderator, or the money to help cover operating costs, we probably have the skills to throw a party, a music festival, or a community BBQ to raise money and build support for an autonomous tech project that we rely on.

Each of us must take care to avoid the pitfalls of disillusionment and complacency. We must remember that even where there's a calm between storms, we remain at war with the life-destroying logic of capitalism and the states that uphold it. And as long as we resist exploitation, oppression, and the destruction of the world that gives us life, those states will seek to crush us. So we need to be prepared.

We strongly encourage all those who see the value in building and maintaining autonomous tech infrastructure to provide whatever material support you can to those collectives who find themselves in the State's crosshairs today - such as Autistici / Inventati - or those other tech collectives who may be in their crosshairs tomorrow.

As we wait to learn the best ways to help Austici / Inventati in their fight against the Trump regime's efforts to isolate them and cut them off from networks of financial and material support, we would hope that comrades around the world take this opportunity as a reminder to support the other tech collectives that exert so much (often voluntary) effort to help keep our movements safe.
