I had a fantastic time talking with comrades @jasonachristian.bsky.social, @tonyjballas.bsky.social, and @ptklein.com about one of my favorite films! Check it out and follow @coldwarcinema.com!

New episode is live! We invited our friend and comrade Taylor R. Genovese to help us discuss Andrei Tarkovsky’s debut feature film Ivan's Childhood (1962), Tarkovsky’s aesthetic vision, the concept of “toska,” the Great Patriotic War, and more! Link below: coldwarcinema.com/s2-ep-13-iva...

My chapter "The Enchanted Biopolitics of Dark Cosmism" is out now in this great edited collection, in which I trace the way Russian Cosmist philosophy has been twisted & used by Silicon Valley tech corporations & the U.S. regime today. The entire book will be open-access soon as well!

I have pivoted and started writing my first script in over a decade for this film. I will complete the remainder of the shoot this summer in Ireland and Germany.

The article I wrote with @dajveism.bsky.social is now published—and is open-access! It is part of a fantastic special issue on the works of Domenico Losurdo edited by Gabriel Rockhill & Jennifer Ponce de León. We welcome engagement, discussion, & critique! www.tandfonline.com/doi/full/10....

I figure the 30th anniversary since publication is the prime opportunity to overcome my three aborted attempts and *finally* read the entirety of Infinite Jest. If anyone else wants to have an "Infinite Summer" and co-read, let me know.

Tune in May 16th to see me and @dajveism.bsky.social talk about our article along with many other amazing comrades who contributed to this special issue on Losurdo's work. Livestream: www.youtube.com/live/ezBvf3S... Our article: www.tandfonline.com/doi/full/10.... Full special issue coming soon!

Got my cheeky early copy of Enough Is Enough by @mattbernico.bsky.social and @deandettloff.bsky.social. Can’t wait to read!

Relatively minor achievement but I’ve cracked my first hundred citations. Thanks if you’re one of the ones who have cited me! scholar.google.com/citations?us...

Doing a birthday aesthetic-based double feature. Good movies to watch after turning 40 and contemplating what the point of all this is.

Just donated. Won't you join me?

Happy birthday, Volodya. We need you now more than ever. vimeo.com/893084975?sh...

Hello, if anyone is feeling generous, I am traveling to Cuba soon and bringing all the over-the-counter medicine and medical supplies I can carry, for which I am seeking donations. If I get funds beyond the cost of these supplies, I will donate all of it to Cuban people and organizations. Thanks!

Next semester and upcoming offerings at DCC! Come take a class with me!

"Those who do not fight imperialism but acquiesce in it lead lives which become increasingly devoid of meaning—hence the spiritual decay of modern affluent societies. (I said that suicide was the logical conclusion of such acquiescence: but few behave logically.)" –John Berger

Our article is out! It's set to be part of a fantastic special issue on Losurdo's work. @dajveism.bsky.social & I worked really hard on this & hope it contributes to real use-value for folks on the ground. doi.org/10.1080/2159... Message for a PDF!

Mohanad Alsayed was a guest on International Solidarity Podcast to discuss his book Scars and Medals "... a granular look at the occupation of Palestine from the perspective of Mohanad and his family... a story of occupation and hardship, but also one of agency, resilience, and resistance."

There is as also an enormous amount overlap of space program and USA nuclear weapons programs. See (eg) post from @taylorgenovese.com & myself: savageminds.org/2017/07/16/t...

Catholics serving the American regime love to espouse their conservatism in theological ways except when it comes to one of the principal axioms of being a Catholic: submitting to Rome.

Oh HELL yeah. Please please please, my European friends, send me all job announcements! apnews.com/article/us-c...

Murphy is a good boy.

The Catholic conclave is probably one of the oldest examples of democratic centralism.

Call for abstracts! Submit your abstracts before May 18 for the second annual conference of The Society for Peace, Internationalism, and Ecology (SPINE). More details: spine.ju.mp#conference26

Just got a new course approved that I'll be teaching as an experimental course in Spring 2027. If there's enough student interest, I'll add it as a permanent topical course. Working on the syllabus now!

Over 30 years of the U.S. and its lapdog(s) choking Cuba from the rest of world in the UN and over 60 years of blockading the island with a trade embargo and then trying to make out like its failing on its own.

I AM SO FUCKING SICK OF READING AI WRITING! I'M CRASHING OUT! USE YOUR FUCKING BRAINS, YOU LITTLE LAZY SHITS, PLEASE, I DON'T EVEN CARE IF IT'S WRONG, I JUST WANT TO SEE 2 MINS OF ACTUAL THOUGHT FOR ONCE IN YOUR GODDAMN LIFE! Maybe I just need to stop teaching online sections.

Seven inches of snow overnight and four more to go today. On top of bomb cyclone conditions. And all that snow fell on another 3-4 inches that never melted. SPRING NOW. PLEASE. That said, I'm going out there with my camera.

Passive aggressively making a different appointment is peak Midwest Pope energy.

SUNY already has programs like this that the rest of the country should be investing in instead of allowing these capitalist vultures to continue privatizing public good. I have two senior auditors in my community college classes; one signed up for all my other classes after auditing last semester.

Get hyped for @dajveism.bsky.social and my article coming out soon. Just finished with revisions.

Because I'm an absolute mad lad, I'm writing/editing two films at once. In a way, my desert film is a foil to this one—another speculative ethnography—that I shot in Ireland in County Donegal last summer called EARTHSHINE.

Looking forward to being back with my @iskrabooks.bsky.social comrades on the other side of the pond this summer. Photo from last summer when we met up with former blanketman Pádraic Mac Coitir in Belfast.

They won’t stop until we start shooting back.

Anyone know of any conferences that might be interested in work I'm doing in the UK or Ireland in July?

English Comp & Rhetoric friends...come work with me in the Hudson Valley! Unionized and tenure-track position! sunydutchess.interviewexchange.com/jobofferdeta...

Gambling whether or not I should get tickets for my annual research trip to Europe. Now is when I usually purchase them. Will American even be allowed to travel to the EU come July? Fascist uncertainty.

I know law means nothing anymore, if ever, but as a reminder, tear gas and its derivatives (CS gas, pepper spray, etc.) is banned by the Geneva Convention. Since the ban, the U.S. regime has never had a problem using it against its own people. The U.S. demon has never had morals.

lol first time I've ever seen myself quoted in a @letterboxd.social review. Don't tell Rudolph, but I still haven't watched the doc. I'm mortified to watch myself on film although I am perversely curious to hear Werner Herzog say my name. letterboxd.com/youknowmejt/...

I haven't produced a film since THE SUN SETS LIKE A SCAR in 2024, although I've been shooting. Today I started scriptwriting & reviewing my footage. My next film, ONLY IN COMPLETE SILENCE DO YOU HEAR THE DESERT, will be my first 2.4:1 anamorphic film. Here are sneak peeks.

What we need is a Tribunal révolutionnaire, but I guarantee you what these limpdicked politicians will try and sell us will be a Pacto del Olvido. No one will be held accountable for any of this unless we, the people, organize and do it ourselves.

If you are not unconditionally on the side of President Maduro after his illegal kidnapping, then you are on the side of the Trump regime. It's as simple as that. There is no such thing as political nuance when it comes to blatant Western imperialist aggression.
