I'm losing 100% of my pay this month, and for the foreseeable future, because of management's punitive response to the marking and assessment boycott launched by @ucuedinburgh.bsky.social to try and stop compulsory redundancies. www.ucu.org.uk/article/1448...

Looking forward to speaking on this panel at Newcastle University next week.

This is a good book. I’ve been having a bunch of fun reading it. If you want to be a “left-Aristotelian,” it’s a must read!

A very interesting article that contextualises Welsh devolution in the longue-durée history of the British state and reflects on what Reform's rise might mean for "Welsh European" regional autonomy.

I recently ordered the English translation of Derrida's The Post Card, but for days now it's been "delayed in transit". Is this...destinerrance?

Maybe this is just end-of-term delirium, but a strange thought I've had more than once recently is: I'd love to read either a) a Bolaño-style novel whose protagonists are Italian specialists of Young Hegelianism, or b) a Wu Ming-style novel whose protagonists are Young Hegelians. (1/2)

happy first day of school to semester colleagues please enjoy this jameson syllabus from January 1996

The US attack on Venezuela is rampantly and shamelessly illegal. Donald Trump has repeatedly made it clear that the US wants to steal Venezuela's resources. This gangsterism, trashing anything left of the 'international order', will pave the way for global violent mayhem.

The US has launched an unprovoked and illegal attack on Venezuela. This is a brazen attempt to secure control over Venezuelan natural resources. It is an act of war that puts the lives of millions of people at risk, and should be condemned by anyone who believes in sovereignty & international law.

Our special issue of Labor and Society on the ecomodernist features of imperialism is now online in full. The issue makes a stronger contribution to theorising contemporary imperialist dynamics than I could have ever hoped for. Here's a thread introducing each contribution. 🧵

People recognised as refugees fleeing persecution & granted the right to live in the UK to be denied the right to be joined safely by their spouse & children. This Labour govt is a moral void, a stinking darkness, an empty hollow of cowardice & contempt. #r4today www.theguardian.com/uk-news/2025...
