Don't give in to conspiracism. This leads down a dark path.

A more grounded analysis would be to note that perhaps, just maybe, the economic system at play selects for success along lines of relative psychopathy.

"Epstein ist verantwortlich für microtransactions" ist halt bullshit, und er ist auch nicht der Auslöser der trans panic. Was nicht heißt, dass er und seine Kumpels das nicht genutzt haben.

Can someone point out to me when and where the university was ever really a sustained ‘site of critical engagement?’ I would love this to be true (I’m just not sure it is).

Breaking News: The sole border crossing between Gaza and Egypt reopened after nearly a year, a step forward for the Israel-Hamas cease-fire.

Ich hab mir ein paar Überlegungen zum „imperialen Bumerang“ gemacht:

The US Ambassador to Israel and close friend of Joe Biden, Jack Lew, personally blocked the distribution of a cable written by USAID which accurately described the situation in northern Gaza

Yesterday, I returned to snowy Kiel to receive the award for the best political science master’s thesis. The thesis examines how cuts to local train services affected political alienation following German railway privatization in 1994. Big thanks to @swegmann.bsky.social & @chwmartin.bsky.social!

Geht bald in Druck: unser neuer Analysen-Band »Das Prinzip Verzweigung« von Cédric Durand (Universität Genf) + Razmig Keucheyan (Universität Bordeaux), übersetzt aus dem Frz. Das Wirtschaftsmagazin Alternatives Economiques urteilte: »Bis heute eines der besten Bücher zur ökologischen Planung« /1

“Some 250,000 people were still in el-Fasher when the city fell. Of that number, at least 60,000 people remain unaccounted for, according to the Yale Humanitarian Research Lab, which uses satellite imagery to assess conflict dynamics in Sudan.” ✍️ @matnashed.bsky.social

Indeed cool to have more countries and the interactivity, but the original with longer historic time series (more than 100 years, 1900-2023) for India, China and the US is also absolutely brilliant, and makes it even clearer how countries do not follow old trajectories bsky.app/profile/embe...

This is very cool - showing how countries might be transitioning from the primordial soup of bioenergy to the sunlit uplands of electricity via the trough of fossil. A simplification, of course, but what a visual! claude.ai/public/artif...

Jooooo

To be explored in my new book “History From Below: The Making of a Radical Tradition”: Natalie Zemon Davis took the work in new directions by writing deep and intricate cultural histories from below about women. She also brought the genre to film with *The Return of Martin Guerre*.

stuff like this, etc

just to make that clear for the rest of the world, that's -9 degrees *fahrenheit.* -23 degrees *celsius*.

Today I finished cataloging 36 Arabic manuscripts from Eyes on Heritage, a cultural institution in Gaza. These manuscripts were photographed before the Israeli invasion in 2023, but the team was only recently able to send these digital images to @visithmml.bsky.social's partners in Jerusalem

The global power structure has become centered on an insane person, its an interesting situation

my favourite history paper has to be "Fanon and the CIA Man" on American Historical Review because it's such a fascinating snapshot of Cold War-era colonialism and anti-colonialism: it's extremely readable academic.oup.com/ahr/article-...

Ayatollah Ali Khamenei has built his 37-year rule of Iran on uncompromising repression, creating a static, authoritarian system resistant to change. His answer to the current protests is no different.

Presumably Donald Trump's next demand to Europeans will be that they handover Guadeloupe because the United States must have more ports in the Caribbean for Trump-class battleships that are 300 cubits long, 50 cubits wide and 30 cubits high.

Everybody is talking about culture – and nobody agrees on what it means. If you want to think about why, you can check out my book published this week. “The Politics of Culture“ is about how three political movements used the concept of culture in France between the late 1960s and the early 1980s:

I just came across this. What a great ressource for all the conceptual history people on here.

Yascha Mounk hört im Auftrag der „Free Press“ die linke Presse ab.

Trump is so determined to end fraud that he has pardoned one person *twice* for engaging in criminal fraud.

This piece gets into what I find most exciting about Tooze; even though he voices skepticism with Marxist methodology and makes occasional overtures to Latour, what he's really doing is more akin to a kind of Foucauldian nominalism, a history of the present www.theguardian.com/business/202...

hat jemand eigentlich gute texte zu diesem themenkomplex "männer und ihre maschinen"? es gab immer mal wieder guten stuff zu petromaskulinität, aber dieses muster, dass männer technologien als prothesen für ihre eigenen minderwertigkeitsgefühle und daher gegen frauen* verwenden, scheint viel größer

Für das @nd-aktuell.de haben Ivo Eichhorn & ich einen Nachruf auf den hier eher unbekannten marxistischen Theoretiker Asad Haider geschrieben, der im Dezember mit nur 38 Jahren verstorben ist. Danke an @alexstruwe.bsky.social für die Chance & das genaue Redigat. www.nd-aktuell.de/artikel/1196...
