مع قَهوَتي

bedsidewriting:

From my hands she took the cup of coffee stained with the foot prints of my lips painted on its rim

With oracle eyes, my mother flipped the cup on itself to expose its ebonic nudity

Child, you’ll fall in love with a woman that’ll enthrall your heart in the infinity of cigarette smoke swaying out of her lips and the breath of coffee sleeping alongside her tongue

That’ll shake the peach tree in your eyes to indulge in the ripeness of your soul

Child, your body will be sacrificed on the banks of the Euphrates to the Moloch of her kisses

Child, you’ll reject God and find redemption in the Ten Commandments between her thighs

O, child, I will lose you

I will lose you and find you in the purgatory of her hazel eyes

Don’t forget me, child, my tears will be the Ark that’ll carry you to the covenant of her smile

I kissed the time hiding between the wrinkles of my mother’s forehead and laid in bed, thinking about Life between the ashes of my cigarettes and the remnants of my coffee.

أنا المَسيحُ في حُبِكِ

bedsidewriting:

I am a Christ in your love.

I am a Christ crucified in the Jerusalem of your smile.

I am the selfish Christ crucified to not rid the masses from their sins, but to indulge in the sin of your love.

I’d be resurrected to sin.

And I’d be resurrected to sin again.

And again. 

And again.

Perhaps I ate from the palm tree the Virgin gave birth under.

Perhaps I rejected the Holy Spirit to excommunicate myself to you.

Perhaps the Father and Son are not the church I want to dedicate my body to.

Bare me on the cross of your heart and shackle me into the depths of your soul,

For I am a Christ in your love and heaven is not the Jerusalem I want to be crucified in.

Demonoid Busted As A Gift To The United States Government

The nightmare week for Demonoid has just reached a huge crescendo, with news coming out of Ukraine that following a massive DDoS attack the site has now been busted by local authorities. Those looking for a U.S. connection to the raid won’t be disappointed – a source in the country’s Interior Ministry says that the action was scheduled to coincide with Deputy Prime Minister Valery Khoroshkovsky’s trip to the United States.

Last week thousands of Demonoid users feared the worst when their beloved site disappeared from the Internet. Many thought that the site had been busted, but were eventually relieved to hear that it was ‘only’ a massive DDoS attack.

But today the roller-coaster ride plummeted to new depths, with confirmation coming out of Ukraine that the DDoS was just the beginning – the site has been busted by the authorities.

ColoCall is the largest datacenter in Ukraine and a place that has been Demonoid’s home in recent years. But in the middle of last week, in the wake of the DDoS attack, government investigators arrived at ColoCall to shut Demonoid down.

“Investigators have copied all the information from the servers Demonoid and sealed them,” an anonymous ColoCall source confirmed. “Some equipment was not seized, but now it does not work, and we were forced to terminate the agreement with the site.”

As reported on TorrentFreak following our discussions with Demonoid’s admin last week, there were suspicions that the site may have been subjected to some kind of exploit or hack in addition to the DDoS. That version of events is now confirmed by the ColoCall source.

“Shortly after [the DDoS] a hacker break-in occurred, and a few days later came the investigators,” the source added.

But aside from the busting of the site, which is the biggest BitTorrent-related raid in recent memory and one that has taken out the world’s largest torrent site/tracker combo, there is a rather large international sting in the tail.

Despite general opinion that Demonoid did not contravene Ukranian law, especially since it blocked all Ukranian IP addresses to avoid upsetting the locals, the site still attracted the attention of the authorities there. That, according to a source in the country’s government, is all down to the United States getting involved.

A source inside the Interior Ministry has informed Kommersant that the raid on Demonoid was timed to coincide with the very first trip of Deputy Prime Minister Valery Khoroshkovsky‘s trip to the United States. On the agenda: copyright infringement.

Ukraine had promised the United States that it would improve its attitude and efforts towards enforcing copyright and no doubt its Western partner will be very pleased indeed that Demonoid’s head has been presented on a platter.

But while Demonoid’s servers are in custody, the site’s admin does not appear to be. The ColoCall source would not say who is behind the site, only that its management is located in Mexico. The devil may yet be back….

TorrentFreak contacted the Demonoid admin for a comment but we have yet to hear back

Superman: Red Son - complete

Strange visitor from another world who can change the course of mighty rivers, bend steel in his bare hands … and who, as the champion of the common worker, fights a never-ending battle for Stalin, Socialism, and the international expansion of the Warsaw Pact.

In this Elseworlds tale, a familiar rocketship crash-lands on Earth carrying an infant who will one day become the most powerful being on the planet. But his ship doesn’t land in America. He is not raised in Smallville, Kansas. Instead, he makes his new home on a collective in the Soviet Union!

brilliant idea and a very exciting read. thank you meshari!

Based on one of the most critically acclaimed comics of all time. A mysterious plague has wiped out all men on the planet, and women are left to pick up the pieces of society. The only surviving man is Yorick, an amateur escape artist who is the key to the continual survival of the human race. Special Agent 355 is tasked to protect his life at all costs. Luckily, she’s really good at her job…

IGN and Drake 1129 Productions are proud to present this new short film, made by super fans of the comic. It covers the initial plague that kills any mammal with a Y chromosome (except Yorick and his trusty monkey companion, Ampersand) and an awesome fight between Agent 355 and a fanatical group of Amazons. 

Directed and Written by Christian Cardona
Produced by Kent King and Christian Cardona
