JOB!!! Jewish Currents is searching for a new Editor in Chief! This is a pretty important role, and I hope there is a diverse applicant pool. Being Jewish is NOT a requirement. As an advisory board member with no say in the hire, I hope especially that those who are POC and/or trans will apply!

Paper ist erschienen, Renten nachzuspüren: Tilman Reitz, Sebastian Sevignani und ich freuen uns sehr, dass unser Artikel endlich (​​​ #onlinefirst und #openaccess ) im Journal of Critical Sociology veröffentlicht wurde. doi.org/10.1177/0896...

"The moral injury of class cannot be remedied by recognition alone. Unlike identity-based demands which reaffirm group belonging, the wrong of class points to the need for abolishing the source of harm, that is, class belonging itself."

bis nächstes Jahr!

A new episode of Future Histories Live! This time I talk to Rabea Berfelde ( @ktbberlin.bsky.social, @humboldtuni.bsky.social) about socialisation, its history, and contemporary movements. Recorded during the 2025 Rethinking Economics Summer School Switzerland. Full Episode: buff.ly/EeUb9Wj

Absurd to describe being locked into a device all day as loneliness, this isn’t the sorrows of young werther.

Academics and technologists are sounding the alarm about a growing crisis in scholarship as we know it: AI-generated citations of nonexistent papers that have infested real journals. Despite being fake, the sources are widely assumed to be authentic the more they appear in published literature.

„Computerspiele besitzen objektiv Tendenzen, die Ideen und Werte des Sozialismus durch kinder über Spiel und Romantik aneignen zu lassen.“

We have a publisher interested in reprinting the first few issues of Endnotes, but they need proof of demand. Please let us know below in comments or in DMs if you would be interested in a reprint, so we can show them.

New School “administrators have started to implement a plan to close, overhaul or merge about 30 academic programs or majors; pause nearly all admissions to doctoral programs; and offer buyouts or early retirement to what professors say is about 40 percent of the full-time faculty.”

@tadziomueller.bsky.social wirft mir vor, für mich wäre die imperiale Lebensweise nicht verhandelbar, weil ich zwar vom Degrowth in einigen Wirtschaftsbereichen spreche, aber das nicht als Verzichtsdebatte kommunizieren würde. Warum das falsch ist & warum ich dazu stehe. bsky.app/profile/tadz...

sehr schöne ausführliche Rezension zu unserem @suhrkamp.de Band Umkämpftes Eigentum in der neuen Ausgabe von @ethikgesellschaft.bsky.social ethik-und-gesellschaft.de/ojs/index.ph...

Ein Buch, das aktueller nicht sein könnte: Menschen mit »Behinderungen« werden oft nicht als vollwertige Personen anerkannt. Regina Schidel schließt mit ihrem Buch eine Lücke, indem sie Ableismus aus philosophischer und sozialtheoretischer Perspektive analysiert. 17.12.!

I used to think that Stiegler's use of the term "proletarianization" to refer to the general deskilling of everyday knowledge in consumer society to be hyperbolic, but then I started reading about people who "ask AI" to do all sorts of everyday tasks. www.unemployednegativity.com/2024/01/it-i...

I wrote about AI and the myth of technological determinism. www.unemployednegativity.com/2025/12/livi...

Fukuyama is such an idiot

Such a fine collection of horrible people, impossible to decide who's the worst
