Maybe slow it down? 10 pages a day, adjusted to what works for you?
Amazing, I'll need to post it more then

ADHD coffee gang (I use coffee instead of perscription meds, long story) 
I'd do 1 filter no rinse, medium-fine grind (like table or kosher salt), 11g to 200ml water. Pour 50ml water off boiling, wait 30 seconds, stir, then add the rest and add the plunger. Wait at least 2 minutes to brew (up to around 7, really doesn't matter), plunge, enjoy! Tweak time and ratio for your liking. That's my standard aero recipe!
Instant pot does all of the others, so I would recommend it.
It isn't 5D chess or anything, but there were many people that had to participate in order to pull off a bombing run like this.
Pretty sure using tactical nukes would be the on-ramp. It's likely non-nuclear bunker busters can't actually destroy Fordow, only tactical nukes could. Still, I don't see Iran backing down from this, it's still a massive escalation, but the US bombing once and dipping isn't exactly a commitment to long-term war. Trump gets to act strong, but Iran's nuclear program isn't ended and there's no regime change.
@[email protected] you wanted to be tagged when it happens, well, here it is. The US has attacked Iranian nuclear sites.
May the US Empire crumble to dust, and be remembered only as an inky dark stain on Human existence.

Absolutely stunned at the level of bad takes from her.

Hop in, comrades, we are reading Capital Volumes I-III this year, and we will every year until Communism is achieved. (Volume IV, often published under the title Theories of Surplus Value, will not be included, but comrades are welcome to set up other bookclubs.) This works out to about 6½ pages a day for a year, 46 pages a week.
I'll post the readings at the start of each week and @mention anybody interested. Let me know if you want to be added or removed.
Week 18, June 18 - June 24, we are finishing Volume 1!
For those reading the Fowkes translation, read Appendices 3-4. For all else, take this as a break weak, a catch-up, and share your thoughts on the whole volume! You did it! Congratulations. Next week we will be starting Volume II!
Discuss the week's reading in the comments.
Use any translation/edition you like. Marxists.org has the Moore and Aveling translation in various file formats including epub and PDF: https://www.marxists.org/archive/marx/works/1867-c1/
Ben Fowkes translation, PDF: https://libgen.is/book/index.php?md5=AA342398FDEC44DFA0E732357783FD48
(Unsure about the quality of the Reitter translation, I'd love to see some input on it as it's the newest one)
AernaLingus says: I noticed that the linked copy of the Fowkes translation doesn't have bookmarks, so I took the liberty of adding them myself. You can either download my version with the bookmarks added or if you're a bit paranoid (can't blame ya) and don't mind some light command line work you can use the same simple script that I did with my formatted plaintext bookmarks to take the PDF from libgen and add the bookmarks yourself. Also, please let me know if you spot any errors with the bookmarks so I can fix them!

There is another reading group on a different schedule at https://lemmygrad.ml/c/genzhou (federated at [email protected] ) (Note: Seems to be on hiatus for now) which may fit your schedule better. The idea is for the bookclub to repeat annually, so there's always next year.

I enjoyed this. I don't quite agree with Hudson:s persistent focus on monetary Imperialism, nor with his conclusions about the Soviet economy, the drive towards World War II, and other conclusions that come from his over-emphasis, but this was absolutely a valuable method for looking into one factor of the modern US Empire and how it functions. I think one of the issues I ran into was the financial jargon, I was able to follow for the most part but Hudson lost me here or there along the way.
Thanks for hosting this! As for suggestions, I don't have any specific for the Middle East, but would love to read about it to help follow the current situation much bettee. It's clearly a gap in my knowledge.
