Good China Books Review article on the growing genre of migrant workers' literature. About one-third of China's working population, and nearly two-thirds of migrant workers, work in the gig economy. chinabooksreview.com/2026/05/21/w...

Agnieszka Jastrzebska ist Küchenhilfe bei einem Subunternehmen der Charité. Bekannt wurde sie zuletzt wegen eines Auftritts auf der @re-publica.com mit @mareicares.bsky.social und Hanno Sauer. Ein Bericht über ihre Erfahrung als Mitarbeiterin zweiter Klasse und ihr Streikjahr 2025 (F+)

I had the pleasure of guest featuring on the @macrodosepod.bsky.social newsletter this week, discussing the need to look at the polycrisis from the margins and to reframe our claims to sovereignty to deal with the major crises of our time. You can check it out here:

Am 8. Mai haben Schüler*innen zum dritten Mal bundesweit gegen Wehrpflicht, Krieg und Militarisierung gestreikt. Doch wie geht es jetzt weiter? Darüber haben wir mit Jugendlichen in Frankfurt am Main gesprochen:

Three years ago we started a new ERC-funded project called REAL, with three teams of brilliant researchers. Here are ten exciting papers involving my team that we've published so far, so you can see what we've been up to. And there's much more to come... stay tuned! 🧵

So gibt sich der große Philosoph Sauer übrigens derweil auf der Nazi-Seite: Lustig machen über Leute, die Care Arbeit sagen und Sexismus im Literaturbetrieb kritisieren, postet Geld-drucken GIF und mimimi.

Auf der #re:publica26: Mareice Kaiser zu Hanno Sauer über ihre Bücher zu Klasse: „Ich denke, wir sollten Vorschüsse vergleichen. Wie viel hast du bekommen?“ Sauer: „160.000“ Kaiser: „15.000“ - wow

I'm happy to share this new paper led by Morena Hanbury Lemos, which explores the drain of resources from Latin America through ecologically unequal exchange. Available open access in Ecological Economics: sciencedirect.com/science/arti...

the One Piece flag made it to Germany!

My colleague Ryan Lee and I been working for the past 6 months on a microeconomic theory that could serve as the foundation for a new, multidimensional economics. Our first working paper, "Choice under value pluralism," is below. Please read, share, and comment! papers.ssrn.com/sol3/papers....

thought it would be a good time to share my syllabus on the global history of petrostates. turned out to be more topical than I could have imagined!

Das kann man sich nicht ausdenken: nachdem die zwei Jungs den Schuppen von Büttner angezündet und ihm einen antisemitischen Drohbrief geschickt haben, gehen sie mit dem Antisemitismusbeauftragten zu einem Oper von Wagner, und zwar den Holländer!!!

Im Herbst erscheint bei @suhrkamp.de ein spannender Band zum »Klima der Philosophie« (👉 www.suhrkamp.de/buch/das-kli...), herausgegeben von Martin Mulsow und Melanie Sehgal mit Beiträgen von u.a. Jacob Blumenfeld, Dipesh Chakrabarty und Eva von Redecker.

There is a huge shift in climate politics happening RIGHT NOW in Santa Marta, Colombia. Countries are meeting to discuss a treaty to phase out fossil fuels -- the one issue that #UNFCCC has studiously avoided for 30 years. 🧵

New episode of the @ktbberlin.bsky.social podcast CRITIQUE OF AI - featuring @rainermuehlhoff.bsky.social @annanosthoff.bsky.social @bildoperationen.bsky.social @mttpsq.bsky.social and introduced with @robin-c.bsky.social criticaltheoryinberlin.de/en/podcast/p...

Welcome to capitalism, son.

"If this battle to control the connective tissue of the world economy comes to shape the future of geopolitics and globalisation, then it will also define any future climate and energy transition." From the Archive: @iliasalami.bsky.social on the Green Cold War www.break-down.org/a-green-cold...

Wrote a blog post for @4tuethics.bsky.social on Langdon Winner and the Strait of Hormuz www.4tu.nl/ethics/blog/...

Unser neuer Artikel ist raus 🎉 Zusammen mit @yannicvitz.bsky.social in dieser wochentaz-Ausgabe (@taz.de) oder auch online: taz.de/KI/!6168197/

He could have gone for cheap shots (there were plenty of opportunities) but David took the time to write a thoughtful and super informative rebuttal to the drivel in Monthly Review. Worth a read even if you didn't see the original

Kommt zum Rheinmetall-Entwaffnen-Camp nach Köln vom 1.-6. September und zu den Aktionstagen gegen das NATO-Manöver in Hamburg vom 24.-26. September. Wir sagen Rüstungsindustrie, Kriegstreiberei und Militarisierung den Kampf an. Für unsere Zukunft! rheinmetallentwaffnen.noblogs.org/post/2026/04...

As someone playing catch up on the history of colonialism and uneven development in Indonesia, this Dig episode is a godsend 👏🙏 thedigradio.com/podcast/nusa...

Faschismus wurde als Phantombesitzverteidigung (Redecker), Nihilismus (Brown), autoritäre Freiheit (Amlinger/Nachtwey), chainsaw capitalism (Catanzaro) oder punitive Abjektion (Loick/Thompson) analysiert, aber das scheint alles die Ankündigung d. Zerstörung d. Zivilisation nicht ganz zu treffen?

Remarkable indeed.

The economic fallout from the Strait of Hormuz isn't a hypothetical — it's already there. Most people in Europe and the US just can't feel it yet. A threat on our new @newstatesman1913.bsky.social article: what's heading our way, and why the burden won't be shared equally. 1/

Worst of times, best of times. Looming fertilizer shortages push the world into a new hunger crisis. But for the concentrated fertilizer market the war on Iran is an extraordinary profit opportunity. Stocks are shooting up.

“These militarized approaches undermine the cooperation, coordination & multilateralism essential to solving climate crisis ... diverting attention away, causing harm & undermining the strategies we actually need.” Lorah Steichen quoted in @thenation.com 👇 www.thenation.com/article/envi...

Ireland's new fossil-fuelled #Petrotech data center will increase Ireland's **total** (everything, not just the power sector) emissions by ~1% Absolutely nuts. A 1% national increase - for what? Come on boosters, explain why this is worth it 🫠 www.linkedin.com/posts/bgamaz...

Join us on March 22nd for the next session of the Verso Book Club. Timothy Mitchell will be joined by Noah Kulwin to discuss "The Alibi of Capital"! "A paradigm-shifting critique of the logic that underlies the modern economy." -- Publishers Weekly www.versobooks.com/blogs/news/t...

Across Germany, tens of thousands of high school students went on strike on Thursday to protest the likely reintroduction of military service. Germany’s political leaders want a new generation of soldiers, but young people are against it.

"It doesn’t matter whether the rate of global warming is increasing. It’ll never cease to amaze me that people don’t care that it’s happening at all. It should be the most alarming thing ever." - @davidho.bsky.social www.theguardian.com/environment/...

some good news at least jacobin.com/2026/03/germ...

Wrote about Thursday's school strike against conscription in Germany. Small glimmer of hope in an otherwise pretty shitty week. jacobin.com/2026/03/germ...

I discovered something that just nauseated me to my core today - Polymarket has a huge number of bets running on climate impacts and disasters An entirely new flavour of disaster capitalism

Next month, countries will gather in Santa Marta, Colombia for the First International Conference on Transitioning Away from Fossil Fuels—the first in a series of diplomatic conferences focused explicitly on working towards a fossil-free world. #FossilFuelTreaty #BeyondFossilFuels #Venezuela

Addressing fossil imperialism will require diplomacy focused on justice. A Fossil Fuel Treaty focused on a just transition can be a tool for peace.

🛢️You might have seen terms like “oil imperialism” in the news lately. But what is fossil fuel imperialism? And what can we do about it?

Check out our new article "Power in Fossil Fuel Supply-Side Policy: Closing Down and Opening Up Opportunities to Phase Out Fossil Fuel Production" co-authored with @peternewell.bsky.social @freddiedaley.bsky.social and Daniela Soto Hernandez in @gepjournal.bsky.social direct.mit.edu/glep/article...

I will eventually shut up about this but Bad Bunny’s use of the power lines is an outstanding example of how to communicate about climate and energy issues. Not about who is the smartest nerd in the room and spewing numbers but about people’s actual lives. Genius.

ich habe mit alyssa battistoni über ihr tolles buch "free gifts: capitalism and the politics of nature" gesprochen und es hat sehr viel spaß gemacht (free link) www.zeit.de/kultur/2026-...

Your daily reminder: the far right has never stopped talking about climate change. "Don't mention climate change" is a centre-right tactic designed to clear space for these people, not a good-faith piece of comms advice for the left.
