this is the guy Rousseau was talking about

There are a lot of faculty losing their jobs very publicly for supporting Palestine, being anti-AI, possibly even for being Marxists. And then there are a lot of us very quietly being shuffled out of the academy for the same reasons.

Another reminder: if there exists *any* class of people who don't have due process rights, then *nobody* actually has due process rights because the government can always just say you're in that class.

Behave accordingly

How’s the AI/Citation in Academia discourse going over here?

the myth of white victimization is really all they have

My family has been buying bagels here for decades. It has been under Syrian Christian ownership since the late 1990s. They make the best bagels in the city and have always, been closed on saturdays by request of the Orthodox communities in the area. These attacks are repugnant zionist violence.

I think all of us who managed to write a book without using AI should get to kill one robot

When I say “all god’s creatures are beautiful,” I mean copy editors.

Squirrels Uptown Squirrel About a Squirrel Squirrels and Boys Squirrelfriend

And it's got a website!!!!

Such dishonesty.

The Dems don't lose because people can't understand what they're saying. The Dems lose because people have decided the Dems don't believe what they're saying.

Relatedly, if anyone hears anything about jobs in Philosophy, Political Theory, PPE, or Sociology, please let me know.

The misogyny of American conceptions of vegetarianism are both astounding and completely unremarkable. www.nytimes.com/2023/04/04/w...

Simone Weil Reading Group in West Philly this summer, led by a fantastic Weil Scholar at Villanova!

I can't wait to read this book. And I really want to teach it!

Fantastic interview about Iran with Sara Hassani: www.outlookindia.com/internationa...

this sounds kinda like a "who cares" achievement but its a very exciting milestone for rich guys who are extremely invested in a future where robots they control are slavedrivers and prison guards for the rest of the human population

I'm sure people are talking about it, but I haven't seen anything on my thread, so I'm just gonna say that this rape academy shit is fucking horrible and I hope all the women subjected to that violence and all other sexual violence get justice.

Really looking forward to this - of course we don't judge a book by its cover but (a) great cover and (b) i have every reason to think what's inside will be great too

Fun fact: in an early version of my Philosophy of Antifascism, I tried to see if I could incorporate Weil, but it was too much. I’m looking forward to this.

My book is coming out in November with Stanford University Press! Cover art by @allgrim.bsky.social allgrimprints.shop

The Euraxess website hates me, won't keep any of my filters, won't let me search, won't even let me scroll past the first page. Is there something I'm doing wrong? Is there an alternative site for European academic jobs/post-docs?

80,000 people will lose their homes, 200,000 people will lose commercial drivers licenses, all in the name of “self-deportation”. But what it really is, is a government policy of imposing suffering and destroying dignity. Nazi shit. www.nytimes.com/2026/04/10/m...

Resonance (UC Press) is looking for humanities research across the following topics: Sound in Political Crisis, Sound and Social Justice, Experiments in Sound, Sound Archives and Preservation, and we're convening a permanent series that'll examine "Film and Cinema Sound" this Fall. Please circulate!

Going to write a love letter to interdisciplinary humanities/social sciences in hopes of getting a better job. Or maybe go to law school.

If the Supreme Court votes to repeal birthright citizenship it must be understood as a yet another vote to repeal themselves as justices. A Supreme Court seat doesn’t carry the power to overturn the Constitution. Elected leaders and citizens both must recognize all six of them as illegitimate.

I dunno. I made a mistake misreading an article and got dunked on a bunch and realized my mistake, apologized and moved on.

Elections are litmus tests. Give people candidates they want to vote for and watch them win.

You might believe you are progressive & democratic but if you support statements whereby the authoritarianism of a state and its capital factions are the consequence/reflection of a people's *culture* you are a reactionary. Full stop. Sign of the times that we have to point out such an obvious thing

Ah, our very own American concentration camps!

This is infuriating. The strength of the school is the humanities and their interdisciplinary locus, especially in graduate school. As a PhD student I took classes with history, sociology, and philosophy faculty as well as politics faculty. These courses were invaluable to my research and teaching.

We need to flood them with letters now. Write today!

Check out my article on Weil, attention, and technology!

It seems that this will be my last semester as political science faculty.

I made a stupid post earlier. Didn't see something that was very pertinent and made a mistake. Just to be clear. I'm against fascism in all its forms.

Honor killing. Let’s call it what it is, MAGA does honor killings of women and children.

It's way fucking easier than explaining to my kid that she has to go to school because I have to go to work. Or why we have to pay taxes, or what the police are, or why so many people in the US hate women.

Having a Warren Zevon kinda morning and missing the tweeting quotes back and forth with Joshua Clover.

We'll open up registration/call for papers later in the Spring, but #CUBoulder will be hosting @priec.bsky.social the first week of November. We're expanding to a day and half event to accommodate the large demand we got last year. Hope to see folks out in the mountains. 🎿 🏔️

Government program run by Kapo/Shanda Steven Miller wants all Jewish Institutions to be Kapos/Shandas.

I cannot sufficiently underline how despicable it is that the IOC has required Haitian Olympic athletes to remove an image representing the leader of the Haitian Revolution (against SLAVERY) from their uniforms.

Is it fascism yet?
