This Labor Day (and all other days): Thank the workers who serve you. Appreciate the workers who care for you. Respect the workers who pick up your trash. Salute the workers who get you your mail. Honor the workers who teach your children. Pay all workers a living wage.

A beautiful 4th in Dolores Park; caught the sf mime troupes annual show; an excellent example of the form: touching, stirring, & revolutionary (but not *too* revolutionary); if y'all are unfamiliar, I strongly recommend the radio shows they did during the pandemic: www.sfmt.org/mime-troupe-...

33/33 We need to find our way of criticism. Not Adorno's way. Not Habermas's. –– Though we can learn from both their strengths and weaknesses. –– But ours. That’s the authentic legacy of critical theory. #Habermas #Adorno #Democracy #CriticalTheory

(1/33) Alex Ross has a new piece on Habermas's legacy in The New Yorker. (tinyurl.com/5btnwmup) I love his writing on Adorno's aesthetics. But the account of Habermas's legacy is unconvincing — and suffers from misconceptions, common among Adorno aficionados, particularly Geuss’s epigones.
