Fresh off the press, The Bloomsbury Handbook of Apocalypticism and Millennialism edited with Andrew Crome. Filled with brilliant chapters by the world's critical experts! An exploration of how societies make sense of their Ends and their hoped for new beginnings www.bloomsbury.com/uk/bloomsbur...

As capitalism tries to steal this season's attention and affection, a nice reminder to myself of the importance of the "nontransactional giving and receiving," what the author calls, reciprocal flow. Enjoy and share with the people around you. jacobin.com/2025/12/love...

My piece in Jacobin published today on Peter Thiel's apocalyptic geopolitics w/ Rory Rowan (just 17 years after we agreed to write something together on the End!) jacobin.com/2025/11/pete...

My new book is out and in the wild, The Bloomsbury Handbook for Apocalypticism and Millennialism (w/ Andrew Crime), filled with brilliant interventions in the field, including by @tommylynch.bsky.social see below!

A few quotes on Naim Khoury in Trouw: “A Palestinian, a Christian at that, who supports Israel and uses its Zionist arguments—that sends the message that the genocide in Gaza isn't so bad. That's a powerful diplomatic tool... Yet Khoury himself is sincere in his faith.” www.trouw.nl/religie-filo...

Liz's (@elizabethfarries.bsky.social ) new book, Platforming Cancel Culture, just out! Read it before you get cancelled!

A feature interview with me in the Belfast Telegraph why 5G towers are being burned in West Belfast. It is essentially one long quote (paywalled). See comments for title context. www.belfasttelegraph.co.uk/life/feature...

Many years in the making. Thx for the support and contributions @censamm.bsky.social !!! Should be available in late October.

With Uzodinma Iweala (of Beats of No Nation fame), a new fellow at CAPAS! Lovely fella, writing on apocalyptic conspiracies no less!

My new oped in @forward.com asking, "Will the U.S. get involved in Iran? Mike Huckabee’s evangelical worldview may be the key". forward.com/opinion/7299...

Top recommendation! Very excited for Ben Anderson and Anna J. Secor's new book 💥

Come join our fabulously fun and supportive Geography dept at Queen's University Belfast!

My new paper asking what a geography of conspiracism might look like and how we might engage conspiracist publics: "Conspiracist knowledge geographies and the potentiality of an impossible political alliance” doi.org/10.1177/2043...

Things aren't right, yet our mundane lives continue. We live in hypernormalisation (nice Le Guin quote at end): www.theguardian.com/wellness/ng-...

Balfour was an antisemite, and the Balfour Declaration wasn’t about compassion—it was about removing Jews from Europe and fulfilling a Christian Zionist prophecy requiring Jews in Israel to trigger the end-times and the Second Coming. A century later, the end-times are here—but Jesus is still MIA.

I'm pleased to hear about the decline of the semi-colon. They are usually used incorrectly, often as colons or as comma splices. www.theguardian.com/science/2025...

Interested in Macron, Starmer, and Merz's alleged cocaine party and the post-truth frenzy that resulted? I was interviewed on Times Radio (Hugo Rifkind) today (2:37:00-2:44:53): www.thetimes.com/radio/show/2...

Mike Huckabee was confirmed last week as US ambassador to Israel, hence my oped on his apocalyptic designs being republished in The Forward: forward.com/opinion/6754...

Brilliant piece by Naomi Klein and Astra Taylor on "end times fascism", an escapist resonance of Christian right and fascist Trumpers facilitating the End. They cite my oped on Huckabee, so that's pretty darn special! @astra.bsky.social @naomiaklein.bsky.social www.theguardian.com/us-news/ng-i...

3 days ago RFK Jr. told the CDC to stop recommending water fluoridation, claiming it was a neurotoxin (this is a lie). Turns out he also just eliminated the CDC’s entire Lead Program, and now lead poisoned children in Milwaukee are just on their own. Lead IS a neurotoxin and harms brain development

New paper on why the 'illegal' should be taught in Planning and planned for in the city. In this case, we focus on people who use drugs. Thank you @bolandphilip.bsky.social, this is the result of your vision, drive, and hardwork!

I was interviewed for this long form article on Operation Ebenezer Exodus, a well funded Christian Zionists org that helps Jews immigrate to Israel-Palestine to hasten Armageddon and Christ's return (in Dutch). Thx Jasmijn!: www.groene.nl/artikel/land...

Library representation. Thx @rickiorawe.bsky.social

"Geographers" in top 10 of highest paying with least stress job (Remote sensing also in the top 10 so arguably two spots). www.independent.co.uk/life-style/j...

Congrats to my PhD student, Steven Farquhar, who won the highest overall Masters grade from a cohort of 120 students!

Columbia University staff are being suspended and terminated for participating in last Spring's Gaza Solidarity Encampment, even if they were off the clock at the time. Similar cases are being seen across the country. https://mondoweiss.net/2024/12/universities-are-continuing-to-retaliate-against-…

The Israeli government’s new boycott of Haaretz, an internationally respected news outlet, is straight out of the authoritarian playbook, writes Jodie Ginsberg, the CEO of the Committee to Protect Journalists.

Starting in 3 hrs I'm hosting a terrific panel about the role of conspiracy culture in undermining climate action and attacking Indigenous rights. Three very smart experts are going to be taking us on a wild ride. 800 ppl have already registered - you can too! t.co/Rm90W2ZAPr
