Horrible news. I used to teach her “Post-Fordist Desires” essay in my Sex, Aesthetics, Capitalism class and the students, year after year, would mark it as a highlight of the semester.

The experience of the rebooted Gilded Age is hard to get a systematic handle on. How can everything carry premium/designer/elite/platinum pricing? How does that feel? Here are three versions of what I've been thinking of as luxury offgassing. 1. Airlines race to premium (Delta CEO to WSJ)

Delta CEO explaining to WSJ about premium creep
WSJ: Are there any segments of consumers where you are seeing any resistance to higher fares? Are there people out there who are kind of throwing in the towel?

BASTIAN: I wouldn’t say throwing in the towel, but those at the lower end of the economic curve are going to be the most sensitive, and that’s why we reduced our supply offering in that market.

On the *same day* the Cornell Seven drugged and raped Jane Doe, Cornell banned four students (including the President of Cornell JVP) from campus for three years for nonviolent, pro-Palestine protests. The same Cornell officials let the rapists off with apology essays.

A great, clarifying article: "[We] need to fight to reverse deskilling by empowering the academic proletariat to again make meaningful decisions—about their own work, if not about all institutional spending—thus returning the 'brain' of educational work to the classroom from the central office."

Genuinely one of the best essays I’ve read in a long time: “Far from being opposites, intelligence and stupidity are intimately bound. The most elaborately intelligent performance can be the most structurally vacant, mobilising all the resources of thought in the service of erasure.”

noise means a large enough amount of information that one cannot decipher a specific component of it from the rest when confronting it all at once i.e. white noise being literally every audible frequency at the same time. but that doesn't mean you can't extract specific elements out of the wall.
