In a conversation with @apetrossiants.bsky.social, Samuel Stein discusses his new book, A Right to Housing?, and talks reframing the conversation as a right to more than just housing, and “​​what it means to declare a right that we can’t act on.” publicseminar.org/2026/09/take...

As someone who has been doing or adjacent to folks doing anti-surveillance and anti-big-tech writing thinking and organizing for almost 20 years, the current hostility to Flock, AI and Data Centers is basically unprecedented, widespread and seems socially deep, well beyond usual activist circles

I saw the Odyssey in Sicily last night, in a small antifascist theater where they still have intermission (it cut the Circe scene in half) in a migrant neighborhood not far from the red light district. Today's Mediterranean can still seen in Homer's poem (less so in Nolan's).

The diarrhea lettuce company, Taylor Farms, uses slave labor contracted from the Arizona Dept. of Corrections. The backbreaking labor is often performed by imprisoned Mexican nationals who would be otherwise ineligble to work in the US. They are paid $1.50 an hour.

The Diarrhea Lettuce Company Has Been Linked to Forced Labor
The lettuce-producing Taylor Farms was linked to the widespread use of prison labor before its involvement in a cyclospora outbreak.

Such a loss for all. Fernández's book on the Young Lords is one of the greatest books of history I have ever read. Not just because the research and writing are excellent, but because the entire project is done in solidarity—including suing the NYPD to unearth buried moments of struggle.

don't *sleep* on @elvia-wilk.bsky.social's amazing essay about Sleep Dealer, remote work and night shifts, NAFTA, and how "under a regime of non-circadian time, sleep itself—crucial, ungovernable, universal—represents a limit to extraction." www.e-flux.com/journal/164/...

Dear French readers- I desperately want a French translation of my book. Unfortunately no French publishers have bought the rights. If you want a French translation to happen, the best way to do it is to write to French publishers and tell them to acquire the French rights for my book

It really is substantially more likely that some guy wanted to shoot some people (or one man in particular) than that the government staged a false flag attack. Running towards conspiracy thinking is naive and you should be embarrassed. Is it possible? Sure. Is it likely? No.

Rockhill's book becoming something that everyone has to have a hot take on is more indicative of what is wrong with the "theory industry" today than Marcuse getting a grant from the Rockefeller Foundation in the sixties.

Six million Jews were murdered in the Holocaust, two out of three Jews in Europe. What a disgusting thing to imply that any Jews were murdered because of their ideas as opposed to because the genocidal Nazi death machine took over much of the continent and marked all Jews for death.
