- This, from Holly Lewis, is excellent.
- A nice (unwitting) demonstration of the universalizing (if never completed) tendency of basic political rights: if due process is only for citizens, then no citizen has due process, since the police can call them an alien and disappear them without a hearing.
- Yeah, they have identified with the Empire and with Vader for a while. Here's the head of the Premier Sector of the USBP on Twitter.
- Just found out that Marx's Inferno will be appearing in Spanish translation in 2026 from Edicions Bellaterra. And, if you haven't read it on English yet, now is a good time to get it, since PUP is having a 50% off sale right now.
- It's a big group chat, and you're not in it.
- I can't believe Joshua Clover is gone.
- Pathetic and embarrassing.
- The healthcare workers of 1199SEIU proudly endorse Andrew Cuomo for Mayor of New York City. #linkinbio for our full statement: digital.1199seiu.org/3YOW89f
- Unfortunately, every day reveals to the world a new nutcase from Montreal/McGill.
- In two weeks, I will be presenting at the CUNY Graduate Center Political Theory Workshop. (The paper title has changed to "Freedom and control at work") Details below. If you want to meet up while I'm in NYC, drop me a note.
- I'm not too worried about it.
- Transport and logistics systems blinking red.
- The Slate Star guy somehow manages to outdo himself. How do you look at the period since WWII and say this without your brain spontaneously exploding and dribbling out your nose?
- I managed to read the SSC "maybe I fucked up?" dialogue and it was telling me to that even the persona representing his regret still couldn't quite bring itself to fully repent. I was very struck by the quoted. That's the trente glorieuses she's talking about! Stagnation cos not enough race science!
- You can't parody these people. They want Trump's results, but by a more procedurally palatable means.
- 1. This is a weird list. 2. Rather than finger-wagging, you can always translate whatever you think is valuable in Yggy, Noah, Silver, or whoever. Just *say* what you think people are missing! It doesn't have to be attached to a particular person.
- I feel like this has become a "must always retweet" instance.
- Honestly didn't realize that American politicians were still capable of expressing feelings of embarrassment and shame. Good for her.
