My book on Marcel Déat, “neo-socialism”, fascism, and political conversion is finally out with @universitypress.cambridge.org! Many thanks to everybody who helped me bring this book to print.
A war that isn't a war, documented with videos that may or may not be real, funded by elected leaders who are neither for nor against it, is the most dystopian thing that's happened in my lifetime
Maybe they just got the Camus confused
I systematically delete these without looking. What happened???
I was recently marveling at the number of One Piece episodes, which I think is something like 1,100
Our political discourse pits identity politics against economic populism. But the choice is false and contributes to incredible confusion about the working class across the political spectrum. For @hammerandhope.bsky.social I show why and sketch an alternative (sorry to crosspost):
Hendrik de Man channeling @dieworkwear.bsky.social
The vibes are in fucking shambles, fam. I'm freaking out WALTER BENJAMIN SOCIAL THEORIST AND CRITIC
He was so real for this

Would love to be added thanks!
Forget therapy…this is what I need
Call me crazy but I don't think the Harris campaign modeled itself on the Popular Front
This is currently the plan at my campus & is a nat’t blueprint for mid sized state colleges across the country. We need a federal funding/tenure plan for public higher ed such as Jayapal/Sanders advocated: it should be the critical focus of all organizing www.miamistudent.net/article/2023...
absolutely devastating review of deboer and mounk. honestly, just the fact that tanenhaus is reviewing them together is indictment enough.
Teaching Engels this week and was reminded of this banger of a line: “Only barbarians are able to rejuvenate a world in the throes of collapsing civilization.”
