The critique of the podcast form is tackling religion! @catholicclod.bsky.social and Crane have a wonderful conversation on how to understand religious traditions, particularly Christianity, and how CT can emerge not from without, but within!

Today I reviewed @quinnslobodian.com and @bentarnoff.com's excellent *Muskism*, in which I argue that situating Elon Musk within the dynamics of class struggle transforms our approach to the international capitalist crisis and the imperial strategies to contain it cosmonautmag.com/2026/05/capi...

I like to remind my students that Jackie Robinson RE-broke the color barrier because >50 yrs previously there were Black players in the Majors, but the teams actively chose to segregate. Segregation & acts of racism are affirmative choices made by & for the benefit of White people & institutions.

People seem to ignore that the student encampments were a culmination of decades worth of on campus pro-pal organizing. Leadership and organizations that have, in many cases, been hollowed out.

“I am political,” Ms. Rachel told me of her new effort to free kids from ICE detention. “It’s political to believe that children are worthy of love … and that our care shouldn’t stop at what we look like, our family, at our religion, at a border. Mr. Rogers was very political.”

New from @crittheoryworkgrp.bsky.social, J.E. Morain and I discuss play, games, and the like via Homo Ludens by Johan Huizinga. The work is one of the more important historical touch-points in game studies, and we tried to take his work to task by thinking games as ideology! Plz have a listen

In his last political act, Habermas tied the survival of the public sphere & the democratic ethos of the Federal Republic of Germany to genocide denial & the state repression of its critics. He died in principled solidarity with the barbarism of 21st century liberalism

Most people rejected his message. They hated Freud because he told them the truth.
an excerpt from Elizabeth Roudinesco's "Freud in His Time and Ours (Catherine Porter, trans.) It reads  "At times, Freud was unable to repress an unjustified but ferocious anti-Americanism, so that he would declare, for example, that his disciples from across the Atlantic were good for nothing but bringing him dollars. Once he declared before a stunned interlocutor that the Statue of Liberty could be replaced “by a monkey holding up a Bible.” On another occasion he asserted before one of his students who was in analysis with him
that the Americans were so stupid that their mode of thinking could be reduced to a ridiculous syllogism: “You Americans are like this: garlic’s good; chocolate’s good— let’s put a little garlic on chocolate and eat it!”
