who would have thought that one of the best books of Frankfurt School critical theory in the year 2026 is a history of the energy economy inspired by Adorno, Schmidt and Bogdanov? Happy pub day @ueberdruss.bsky.social !

Happy pub day!

couldn‘t help thinking that this is so much smaller than the space it occupied in my head. there’s a relief in the objectification of thought: however troubling or obsessive, every idea can take the form of a handy, well-folded paperback.

Power without accountability: The Palantir manifesto The problems with our tech philosopher kings

New, from me: Take the Palantir manifesto seriously, if not literally.
It reveals that our tech philosopher kings want public money, but without public accountability. This creates a dilemma for governments unaligned with its techno-fascist vision. 🧵

Collapse Finance, Part 1: Introduction - Notes - e-flux Aris Komporozos-Athanasiou introduces an essay series on “collapse finance” as a framework for understanding how finance increasingly governs through crisis. Part 1 of 4.

"Categories that once gave structure to financial crisis response—risk, security, recovery, “the market” itself—are becoming increasingly unstable. Risk appears less calculable, volatility continuous+the distinction between breakdown+opportunity difficult to sustain."

We show how these "trigger points" reveal a contested structure of moral expectations and how they get weaponized by polarization entrepreneurs. OA @bjsociology.bsky.social 🧵

here i can recommend Donald Sassoon' recent book on Revolutions (www.versobooks.com/products/337...) and Rahel Jaeggi's book on Progress and Regression (www.hup.harvard.edu/books/978067...) if you want some more complicated approaches to how to think about evaluating change
