Legal Fund for the CEO Shooting Suspect This is a preemptive legal fundraiser for the suspect allegedly involved in the shooting of the United Healthcare CEO. We are not here to celebrate vio...

Of all places to arrest international criminals, I would expect the UK to be amongst the least probable.

Sad to find out that Bluesky doesn't have a drafts functionality, may have to actually share nuggets of thought on here.

Somehow only heard of Mike Davis a couple of years ago. What is the one text of his that I have to read?

Randomly remembered this history of economic thought class I audited. There was mention of a book/paper about how the development of economic thought has closely followed and modelled itself on breakthroughs in physics. I guess like a serious scholarly treatment of physics envy.

Unprotecting my tweets to beg @readcapital to

Obtuse but interesting piece. How critical theory serves as a performative act performed as part of the standard educational upbringing of neoliberal/imperialist scions, to attain cultural capital and justify conceptually the specifically neoliberal for...

Saved for future reference

David Graeber making a case for panpsychism is exactly the kind of mojo I needed to deal with his passing

Anyone know the main social determinant of a society's level of worksmanship/competency of contractors, besides vague correlations with development or literacy indicators?

I always liked these kind of interventions - ethically minded geeks are better when they weigh in on the subjects they're actually geeks about Digital Well-Being Guidelines for Parents During the COVID-19 Pandemic

I, for one, welcome the surely incoming reassessment of strategy and broad picture outlook on the US that the Sanders defeat will bring over this next period. Let's hope it's more than a 3rd attempt with AOC.

Call me a fool but I've found it pretty interesting #MyTwitterAnniversary

It's interesting how most of my post mid20s personal insights have been about the effects of physiological states on mood/psychology. Slowly accumulated awareness of the effects of the body on the mind or blasé retreat to conventional wisdom signalling intellectual complacency?

On how empire's IntAgencies found the turn in French intellectual production of Annales and Foucault highly agreeable.

Ο Απο-γοητευμένος Κόσμος του Αριστερού Κεϋνσιανισμού εκ των έσω: Μια κριτική του βιβλίου του Γιάννη Βαρουφάκη Ενήλικες στην Αίθουσα

Usually wouldnt share NYT but this Does more than the title promises. Paints this new sense of relationship to things as an instant-gratification + low effort engagement one, that warps the sense of reality related to the house/travel/food "porn" (clear...

The villain gap: Why Soviet movies rarely had American bad guys (via @Pocket)

Blue ticks arguing over what's the right charge to prosecute Assange with (as publishing sets a dangerous precedent) ..

Been coming across many interesting binaries recently. Marxism: Science of the laws of capitalism or Philosophy of human emancipation?

In the context of connecting disparate personal interests, Adorno writting on an opera (Woyzeck) that Tom Waits had a go at adapting is as good as it gets.

I really thought my dislike for The Economist had peaked..

Very good. Applies to own writings as well as stale political texts (KKE). Mostly about the deadness of thought that results from taking the easy way in writing and utilising the ready made phrases and idioms.
"When you think of something abstract you ...

Surprise of the month(v.belated): Terry Eagleton defending Christianity, Christians and all-round religion/theological sentiment in his his amusingly relentless review of Dawkin's God Delusion.

A history of my pretentiousness.
Age 17: People should be celebrating Darwin's birthday rather than Xmas.
Age 25: People should be celebrating Hegel's birthday rather than [insert national liberation/anti-Nazi hero]
Can't change a man's character and all that..

Interesting piece on how funding was channelled towards the domination of abstract expressionism for rather obvious reasons

Have come across the concept of cryptomnesia multiple times recently reading up on very different plagiarism cases. Finally got a name for what's happening to me when I'm rewatching movies and feel like I predict the plot without remembering it

I'm just gonna say that I quite like Joshua Cohen and his systematic writing style so that when I come across this in the future my ragrets have a particular target.

I feel like I need an intro/something to attract me to #Rawlsian political theory that is specifically designed for Marxist sensibilities. Keep getting the feeling it's like the closest political thinking can get to escapism.

Been perusing academic faculty, this favourite quote came to mind when I scuffed at yet-another-take-on-the-crisis-in-SoutherEurope while being interested in some guy doing ancient philosophy..
