How do analogies between states and firms shape competing political and economic visions? I’m looking for a PhD researcher and a postdoc to help me explore this question in my new research project at Copenhagen Business School. Links below 👇

”En död liten stad” säger stockholmarna i sätena bakom mig på snabbtåget när vi passerar Töreboda. ”Töreboda har för helvete aldrig varit någon ’stad’” grymtar jag surt för mig själv till svar.

This is not as good as the trilogy about his youth, but it’s still remarkably good (the recurring reports on visits to Berlin brothels, reflections on the prize of call girls, and inexplicable affairs with (very) young intellectual women (the man was in his 60s) notwithstanding).

very funny that after all the “Emily Wilson is going to longhouse Western Civilization with her woke Odyssey”, Emily Wilson herself is like “yeah, a bit too much ‘healing trauma’ and not enough ‘relishing in the blood of your enemies’ in the new movie”

it’s long past time lawmakers addressed how companies have taken the switch to digital to redefine purchases as licensing rather than ownership. it’s most egregious when it comes to libraries, but it’s harmful to everyone.

On this day in 1982 both Bladerunner and The Thing were released in the US. Both flopped and were not received well. Both have gone on to be recognized as classics and have redefined their genres. I feel like today should be a holiday for lovers of movies and everyone who has ever failed.

The sad thing is the world of information was always open to you, and a while ago social policy was to give you lots of possibilities and Vergils (libraries, community colleges, activist spaces) to explore it. AI is a technical solution to a social problem, and as most such solutions it’s a sham.

But also this phenomenon, only remixing from a cultural archive, has been the standard mode of the film industry in particular long before AI (sequels, „franchises“, „IP“s), and the photorealistic of Light and Magic has been long gone - see the very first „clean-up“ of the Star Wars films.

The Dec 2025 election of José A Kast in Chile has been reported as yet another victory of the contemporary far right. Rather than an unexpected outlier, however, Kast's relation to Chile’s trajectory of neoliberal authoritarianism is a family tradition. Part 1 here. brooklynrail.org/2026/04/fiel...

Read the introduction to this yesterday and learned that the aging Machiavelli referred to himself as “historico, comico et tragico” which means “historian, humorist and tragedian”, but ALSO means “historic, comic and tragic”… 🤣/😭

Financial markets are 'post-truth' media technologies and always have been. Keynes, Hayek, Lyotard, Mirowski etc etc etc have always known this. The rarity now is that their logic has penetrated to the heart of a very powerful modern government.

I looked up the prevalence of “rules-based order” on Google Ngram and what’s most surprising is that it’s not that recent. I assumed it would be a post-2016 thing but turns out the start of the sharp uptick is around 2010-11. The question is why. Russo-Georgian War in 2008 a factor?
