Book: Are You a Software Update "Given the urgency of the topics covered and in order to ensure widest possible circulation, editors decided to make the essay 'They Build to Dominate, or Fascism in the Age of Its Digital Reproducibility' by Alberto Toscano available free of charge in PDF format"

Palantir has won contracts with ICE, partnered on Trump’s “Golden Dome,” and promoted a vision of tech built for Western military supremacy. @alfatau.bsky.social writes on the company’s authoritarian business model.

“Damaging & destroying weapons of war is one way of waging peace … for the government, the waging of peace is terrorism. Resisting the destruction of human life and the perpetuation of a genocide against the Palestinian people is not wrong. It is the law, and this government, that is wrong.”

From @alfatau.bsky.social about the Trump admin: Such incoherence is par for the course for a president who has variously forecast that the conflict may continue for days, weeks or months—qualified by his claim that the United States could fight "forever." inthesetimes.com/article/axis...

“Novecento is a monument ... to the contradictions of a communist worldview—between agrarian utopias and a “sense of the State"—which was already alien to the countercultural movements of the 1970s, in search of other celebrations and other liberations." communispress.com/novecento-at...

i'm not exactly sure what "race communism" is but i'm intrigued and would like to give it a try

The legal arguments and architecture for what's happening in Iran now, and were deployed in relation to Gaza, really did not come out of nowhere. The pre-emption and targetted assassination arguments might appear spectacular, but they were the workaday archiecture of the war on terror.
