A transcribed conversation between myself and Beth Kamunge-Kpodo. We discuss the many ways that law schools prevent us from dreaming of a world beyond land dispossession, overexploitation and impending planetary collapse... and the reasons why we must do so anyway. folukeafrica.com/what-does-it...

If the UK government had a Culture Secretary, that person would be in a position to take a view about whether child porn on demand was a good thing, or a bad thing. thecritic.co.uk/brin...

I am pleased to announce that I have commandeered my neighbor's home. This home will be sold at its Market Price, and that money will be controlled by me, to ensure it is used to benefit my neighbor and me! Thank you for your attention to this matter!

For more than 150 years, people have tried to explain that using "national identity" to build solidarity is as effective as painting flowers on the knife someone wants to use to kill you. And still, they offer new paint, different flowers...

In the UK add that possession of CSAM is a strict liability criminal offence, prison sentence 2-3 years. No proof that you sought the material is required. People can be and have been convicted after receiving unsolicited images. This is a serious risk, using X in the UK now.

Those who have tasted the terror and shock of war Will spend all their might to trouble it no more While those who have never tasted its terrible night Will crown themselves its lord and issue it a warm invite.

This is a transcript of a conversation between myself and Katie Bales. We discuss the limitations of law and the law school to end racial injustice as well as the hopes of decolonisation. "We desperately need new ways of thinking, doing and being in the world." folukeafrica.com/in-words-the...

That sound you hear from all over the world are the snorts, agonized groans and giggles of millions of people who would be surprised to learn that the US has never engaged in imperialism

This kinda imperial hubris is just fascinating. It's obvs not true (the Taliban are back in power, the communists still run Vietnam, etc) but more than that I find it baffling to want it to be true. The status "citizen of a country that does war crimes with impunity" is imo a bizarre thing to crave.

"You're not sad; you just need a holiday." One, you don't know my life. Two, maybe I am sad because I cannot go on holiday? The holiday companies want to start January by choosing violence.

“the law conceptually and persistently renders certain bodies and space-times untranslatable and illegible through Euro-modern law. To be seen by the law, one has to abandon one’s unique humanity and move toward masculine Euro-modernity”

"the makers of AI aren’t damned by their failures, they’re damned by their goals. (...)They want to create a new kind of mind, so they can force it into mindless servitude. Their dream is to invent new forms of life to enslave." Very good text. It's 100% okay to just hate genAI.

As important now as ever is how law schools respond. To paraphrase Ruha Benjamin, we need to imagine and craft the worlds all of us cannot live without, just as we imagine the undoing of worlds many on this planet cannot live, cannot move, cannot breathe within. folukeafrica.com/what-is-the-...

“If a woman dares to show herself in public in any way, then she can and will be sexually harassed with the aid of genAI-driven tools that can easily turn her face into highly realistic pornography” is an absolute red-alarm human rights disaster

No degree of expertise on colonialism & colonial extraction will convince white folks/countries that they're huge beneficiaries of that plunder & of the systems they put in place & 'continue' to benefit from it. Nevertheless, we must make the point & repeat it in the hope that the point gets across!

It is an on-demand revenge porn and CSAM bot. How is it still functioning and how are people not in jail.

Primitive accumulation, plunder, slavery, colonial extraction and exploitation are all part of the same capitalist mechanisms that built Britain. The state-backed companies that led this are the same that continue to steal workers’ share of the products of their labour today.

Every time I see a news article about ChatGPT pushing vulnerable people to harm themselves and others, I want to know how the universities who have eagerly proclaimed their partnerships with this company intend to account for the increasing evidence of the harms of this tech

So clever of US, UK and European universities, with ample encouragement from their governments, to have been closing down Area Studies, History, Languages and Politics & International Relations programmes, so clearly irrelevant to the world in the second half of the 21st century.

Good article this. Racism really is the reverse of a performance-enhancing drug, the mad, stupid shit it leads people to believe in and to do:

It’s the thing that proves the Clinton era ‘it’s the economy, stupid’ adage wrong. People in the U.K. have acted against their economic self interest on many occasions because of racism, xenophobia, and toxic rhetoric about migrants.

Trump really seems to think, hey, we captured your king. So now we're in charge.

No woman I know in academia would be surprised by this, but its good to see it documented like this, I guess.

In 1887, British forces kidnapped & exiled the King of Opobo in today’s Nigeria. British Palm oil traders had persuaded the government that the tariffs he imposed restricted their profits. It was a milestone in the Scramble for Africa and indirect rule by Britain. alanlester.co.uk/blog/antisla...
