Entry number infinity on the "not for beginners" list.

Terre Haute's realest real one.

WTF Brazil?! The sushirrito was begging for a cartoon depiction and instead you went full on racist caricature...

JFC this is particularly disturbing in an already disturbed world!

"What is of value in any society, whatever the mode of production, will be judged according to the imaginative and ethical principles guiding communal life" is a great distillation of Graeber by @leninology.bsky.social.

This whole thing is some full on 1984, there is no true, terrifying bullshit.

A king I could recognize.

Newly published, this paper by Paul Christensen, Cindi SturtzSreetharan, Charles Crabtree and Charles McClean looks at the implementation of the SDGs in Japan: academic.oup.com/ssjj/article...

Japan elected a record 42 women to the Upper House—a step forward for gender representation. But our article shows how visible progress in some areas can coexist with deeper patterns of inequality. @takadanobaba.bsky.social, @clsturtz.bsky.social, Charles Crabtree academic.oup.com/ssjj/article...

#linguisticlandscape is Brazilian coffee chain borrowing Japanese aesthetics and Euro-American gentrification in Rio

It's almost as if the administrative class wants to cultivate a world where we are indebted and obedient...

I wrote an article on the absurdity of Japan's use of the SDGs with @clsturtz.bsky.social, @cmcclean.bsky.social, and Charles Crabtree. We think it's pretty good... Selective development goals: examining Japan’s SDG implementation gaps url: academic.oup.com/ssjj/article...

No end the depths of hostility

Wendy Brown, In the Ruins of Neoliberalism, nothing but righteous bangers.

Unless the '26 World Cup does it first...

Nature's rebellion.

Ratio of Harley riders flipping the bird and screaming obscenities to #nokingsprotest, no matter how many kids are around, is a perfect 1:1

Tokyo's governor loves to talk about a future where everyone can "shine." I wrote about why I think that's politically motivated nonsense...

IU used to be the thing marooned Hoosiers could point to when asked "Why the fuck did you move to Indiana?!?" Not anymore...

Beneath all the propaganda, all the nice words about human rights and equality and international law, this is it. This is the material manifestation of Western values.

Had to go to the ER last night (I'm fine). General vibe is cops, guns, and yelling at people without insurance, especially if they're on drugs. All before police brought a DUI who was cuffed and told to puke into a plastic bag without help, and then three gunshot victims followed.

A beautiful story and amazing science from @oceanana.bsky.social, former fish biologist with @noaa.gov, with a stunning visual by science artist Kayla Y Lim! Read the full story on our website! @silencedscience.bsky.social silencedsciencestories.com/f/ana-vaz-fi... #sciencematters #scicomm

Found the most radical local building.

If the county fairground's Herb Faire is any indication, plants are where the far right and hippie left meet.

My congressional rep has been a ghost since inauguration, stopped sending out staff liaisons, and is now doing A TELE-Townhall?!? Seems like a level of cowardice and avoidance worth confronting him on @indianacapitalchronicle.com

ナイス。

Always worth remembering the extent of historical erasure of socialist labor movements in the US. The legacy of Debs and all the other organizers are kept alive in Terre Haute (his hometown!) through ceaseless volunteer labor, they should be taught in every school.

In addition to all the heinous nazi shit in this, it's weaponizing debt burdens or student interest in things other than STEM or business to attack and try to end disciplines now deemed subversive.

@quinnslobodian.com at some point when writing you must have to stop for sanity and reckon with how fucking weird they all are?

俺は...

@vincentbevins.bsky.social hell yeah, reclaim the red hat.

I've had the NEH Japan social science fellowship tab open for a month, guess I can close it now, fuck this all so much.

Jim Banks, we would love to have you in a townhall answering our concerns. Indiana and our country deserves much better than an invisible, inaccessible, uncaring, senator.

There was some good news today.

Got my notice of a 2% "cost of living adjustment" raise yesterday. Otherwise known as a .8% pay cut.

How long until the T-Mobile Grand Canyon National Park Experience sponsored by Papa John's?

How much hate, insanity, and barely disguised corruption can you fit in one article? A lot, apparently.

@oceanana.bsky.social my awesome wife was one of them, fuck these assholes

NOAA Fisheries probie here, also let go with hundreds of colleagues. We are tasked with providing science for managing our nation's marine living resources. It's a loss for our coastal communities, our nation and our kids futures.

Make America Brazil Agora...

That's a funny way to say the planet is boiling...

Time to cash in and get out.

In non fascist seepage things, what is this shit?!?

It really REALLY is

USA founded in 1776 with slavery already established - isn't formally abolished until 1865, 89 total years. Reconstruction is usually framed as 1865-1877. Aggressively followed by Jim Crow apartheid which last until 1965, 88 total years. 89+88=177 years.

Wonder if any of this will get broadly recognized today...

Clear overlap between houses that had trump yard signs and now refuse to shovel the snow from their portion of the sidewalk.

WTF.... (Hugh Gusterson's Studying Up Revisited, from 1997!)

This monstrosity has been on campus all week and I can no longer contain my desire to mock so... Behold, the world's biggest....?

Japan anthro people! You're wanted at this workshop along with everyone else, submit! docs.google.com/forms/d/e/1F...
