This line up looks great! My good friend David Young and I will also be presenting some work at this exciting event. If the very distinguished speakers listed below don't move you (are you crazy!), come along to hear us talk about computer vision, OSINT and its regime of visuality.

Oh god I'd forgotten about that part 😭
Oof extra sociology points for spelling bourgeois very correctly there
Obnoxiously bourgeoise! Really hating the weird subplot about Sean's food truck. You don't need to close it down you fool, just give it to your friend?
I really liked S1 but wasn't so keen on S2, felt like it lost lots of the dramatic tension. Many of the joke on S3 really do not land for me 😬.
Must have put yourself through a fair bit of shrinking to get there too?
Awful with respect to its personal impact on both your lives and because this is the treatment we have come to expect in the sector.
Neoliberal outsourcing, the biopolitical, and the posthuman all distilled within an emerging business model. Such a great time for a crisis of HE and it's most potent political concepts
Hence the giant mass human cognitive deskilling and stupefaction machine so they can make money off it
I’ve donated; can you? Radical bookshops needed now more than ever
Spurs pain, did my back, Laptop screen broke, cleaned my savings out. Truly a weekend of champions.
@moiraweigel.bsky.social wrote one of the most enlightening (and earliest) pieces on Alex Karp's fashy PhD. She now has written this luminous piece that gives a persuasive materialist account of the right wing assault on theory. Truly brilliant stuff.

As the crowdfunder for the first radical bookshop icon Newcastle for 40 years gets closer to the end I’m making the bold move of calling on all the academics I sort of vaguely know and also those I don’t to share the link for our crowdfunder: www.crowdfunder.co.uk/p/booksfromb...

Hello I'm with the BBC investigations team. How can I help you manufacture some consent today?
Congrats! Looking forward to reading this piece - and the book - in due course
This is despicable. It's also documented that this is especially difficult for bisexual asylum seekers, who aren't only made to provide 'evidence' but are forced to explain and justify 'evidence' that they are 'actually' straight.
Cool stuff in general of course. The abstract is a bit garbled but if, as I think it's suggesting, Biggar is arguing intellectual progress is *the* foundational freedom, I might politely retort that he's probably formed this view only by taking a few other "foundational" freedoms for granted.
Great piece. Remarkable to me how politics have come back around to critiquing corporate invasion of childhood attention, this time with conservatives often joining along. Time to revisit the legacy and the concept of a "National Nanny", methinks.

You can also sort of see it in his recent writing about his encounter with Habermas...
Watching Palantir CEO Alex Karp speak across several videos as part of my preparation for my 3rd year module. I have to say the guy really does seem to have a hang up about academia
Really happy to see this new article out now with @floreani.bsky.social. We offer an in-depth analysis of major trends in RentTech / Landlord Tech markets and show how they are shaping the financialisation of housing, assetisation of data, and moral economic evaluation of renters.
So happy to have @profgillian.bsky.social (alongside other great speakers) joining this workshop on ‘Techno-geographies of AI’ in Milan on Friday 27 March. Co-organised with @ludovico-rella.bsky.social and Darío Negueruela del Castillo.

Looks incredible, congratulations!
Something that a basic understanding of Foucault's concept of episteme could help anyone parse but there is a considerable anti-intellectualism and lack of curiosity amongst many of the folks listed above
That and the fact there are several distinct strands of thought, and it becomes a choice to render the points of disagreement without even nodding to the considerable alignment among them...
