Paolo Virno: "The current form of technics, namely that artificial intelligence which aims to objectivate cognitive processes and self-reflection, can be better understood and more radically criticized if contrasted with the child’s learning of the world." www.e-flux.com/notes/678343...

I love this book!!!!!! I've gifted "Dry Your Tears To Perfect Your Aim" to friends and they also love it 🖤

RIP Paolo Virno. He was one of the funniest and warmest philosophers. vimeo.com/112510961?fl...

On the meaning of institutional surrender: "For your political appeasement, you're going to give up your commitment to truth" @palumboliu.bsky.social speakingoutofplace.com/2025/11/20/m...

so honored to discuss "The Politics of Collecting" with my hero❣️ @palumboliu.bsky.social speakingoutofplace.com/2025/11/17/e...

inspirational ✨

"..the nature of the online leftism defined by armchair proselytizing, goofy sectarianism, and influencers who may or may not know what they’re actually talking about... Our new ideas about addressing the dwindling resources and structuring the society we want have to be protected at all costs."

The beginnings of elite art collection coincided with the rise of the robber barons and the suppression of the labor movement. Kin connects this to Taylorism and the idea of scientific management, that further extenuated the rift between the mind and the body, intellectual activity and labor.

Brilliant convo. Check it out if you can.

"Some socialists wanted to work through government, political parties, and the state to seize power. Other socialists saw this as a corruptible reformist effort. Instead, they argued for building socialism from below through direct action, federations, and expropriation of the means of production."

Denial is a troublesome problem. Fascism isn't really a surprise; it's helped shape what US society is today. For @prismreports.org, I wrote about how refusing to accept the reality of how we got here aids fascist growth. We have to confront many contradictions. prismreports.org/2025/10/20/a...

So I wrote about why I declined my Fulbright grant and canceled my research stay at NYU. Free Khalil, free all political prisoners, free Palestine 🇵🇸 politiken.dk/del/mN-u9dAE...

“The billionaires of the present only exist because the billionaires of the past. Don’t compliment them, don’t compare them to each other, don’t be grateful for scraps.” offshootjournal.org/no-good-olig...

We lost a warrior, a freedom fighter, a visionary, someone who changed the way I see the world. May Assata Shakur rest in power with the ancestors!

The empty left-influencer rhetoric instructing people to “join an organization” is deeply misleading. What kind of org and why? The word “organization” isn't inherently left. There are fascist organizations. Don't just say uncritical stuff that doesn't truly help for the sake of saying something.

We're in danger because the contemporary US left is oversaturated with a bunch of posturing and old lines. People are going to walk right into a bunch of avoidable traps, thinking they can run the same plays from 50-100 years ago. This is a different era. Consider your words and actions.

Oh yeah hi Bluesky friends, so besides sharing my writing journey here on Bluesky, I am also on TikTok and am a menace to my Republican politician dad lol

The "broligarchs" of today are no different from the oligarchs of the Gilded Age: "the top priority is not to gain more money; it is to gain more power and control over society and its future." This zine is maybe 15 pages and absolutely worth your time:

General Strike in Italy tomorrow for Palestine!!!!

there are no good oligarchs! "The billionaires of the present only exist because the billionaires of the past. Don’t compliment them, don’t compare them to each other, don’t be grateful for scraps. We wouldn’t have less without them: we would have MORE offshootjournal.org/no-good-olig...

"The museums, libraries and foundations that emerged from the robber baron era — none of these were given for 'free': they were paid for and built by breaking unions (which transformed US union culture forever), open-firing on striking workers [...]" offshootjournal.org/no-good-olig...

This @offshootjournal.bsky.social zine comes out of necessity. Take a firm stand against those romanticizing the ruling class of old because they donated some of the wealth they took in blood. It was hoarded by oppressing people throughout this country and the world. There are no good oligarchs.

New zine from us: “Let’s learn about the history of robber barons so that we can better understand this terrible present. Remember: let’s continue to politically educate one another and build movements where people are thoroughly informed on as much as possible.” offshootjournal.org/no-good-olig...

For anyone interested in the critical revival of Rose's work, I am co-convening 'Gillian Rose: History, Marxism, and the Turn to Law' at the University of Warwick this coming December. Registration and further details here: warwick.ac.uk/fac/soc/law/.... Abstracts and paper titles in due course.

I know there is a lot going on but this went online last night and I am very proud it’s real. If you might be excited to find out how at every turn this nation could have prevented our current political moment by listening to Black people you can even preorder it before we get to designing the cover

Actual murderers saying they're opposed to violence. War criminals posting condolences.

and this might be why you're seeing folks elevate this issue AND immediately naming 'the left' or 'the dem party' as the instigator of this act

The Dems can “condemn” violence all they want. The right-wing establishment is still going to target them any opportunity they get. Any liberal condemnations just expedite the process of justifying their own destruction.

algorithmic recommendation tries to make it impossible for us to escape our own predictability; continued interaction with these sorts of surveillance systems changes our relationship to our own capability to want things—makes it alien, fully externalized www.theguardian.com/media/2025/a...

Shakespeare would know: he was an investor in the Virginia Co. (which established the first plantations in what is now the US state of Virginia) and his "The Tempest" is a ruling class view of an actual shipwreck on Bermuda carrying dispossessed people from Europe to Virginia to work until they died

thinking lately about this line from 'The Tempest' "Hell is empty and all the devils are here."

“In the end, the people have won”

Whenever you get scared, you insult Korean victims of one of the greatest crimes in the history of modern war. A country was decimated and divided, just for the US public to make it into a punchline. Then people wonder why this country is in the fascist situation it's in. The disconnect is abysmal.
