On the day a German state parliament elects the first far-right speaker since WWII, this is tabloid Bild’s homepage this evening: Ronaldo, Messi, a reality show and an article about a Playboy shoot all come before coverage of what the result means…for the ruling party CDU. @okwonga.bsky.social

Just starting @dacemoglumit.bsky.social ‘s new book and already hoping there’ll be a review from @quinnslobodian.com

This is a photograph of 3 lines from a book. The quote reads ‘In this book, I focus on the crisis of liberalism - rather than the sordid ideas and strategies of antiliberal forces - because I believe that these noxious currents are alive only as a result of liberalism’s crisis and weakness.’ The word ‘only’ is highlighted.

Not to get too dramatic, but this paper is tackling the most important question in the world right now: how to make the transition happen in practice. The future research agenda outlined at the end should be the number one research priority for climate & system change donors.

On the conference page there are several sessions with the title ‘Applications of a new paradigm’ from angles of tech, governance, etc. Was a new paradigm defined or outlined at any point? And if it wasn’t, how did they manage to discuss its application?! Thanks!

Which American president said this about how their government was helping small business? a) Jimmy Carter b) Ronald Reagan c) Bill Clinton Answer and link to source below.

'We've gotten the Prompt Payments Act on the books so the small firms doing business with the Government are paid promptly.
We're increasing Federal procurement from minority enterprise. We've provided small business with more opportunity to participate in international trade through the Export Trading Company Act; signed into law the Small Business Innovation Development Act, assuring small high-tech firms a greater share of government research and development'

‘What we need is a political project’ to counter the neoliberal political and cultural project, including the values it promotes like individualism. @febalata.bsky.social at great World Bank panel on extreme wealth, live-streaming now

Specially looking forward to the proposed answers coming in future (last para in report). All too often these big calls for a new system or narrative punt their questions into the void.

Hahaha the trolling from the car specialist cited in this Forbes article. “The spectacular failure of Cybertruck was a failure of empathy”

Meanwhile in Germany, over the weekend Bild literally using the good olde ‘it’s just common sense’ framing to push its policy preferences on the incoming government. I.e. Tax cuts, longer working hours and clampdown on migrants.

So good! On this last part, so many liberals’ whole approach is basically waiting: For populists to screw up. For institutions to reassert themselves. For normality to return. For ‘grassroots’ movements to do their magic. For voters to see reason. For system change. If only.

Also: no surprise that a ‘technological republic’ is seen as the solution. To rebuild something from the ground up requires razing what was there before btw.

This is exactly why an alternative meta-narrative to free market capitalism is so urgent. Faced with the lack of meaning in their lives, tech bros are turning to a ‘Judeo-Christian’ (code for ‘white’) pseudo religious mashup progressivestrategy.beehiiv.com/p/it-s-manif...

I’ve been posting about the urgent need for a new narrative for a while. Also about how parallel projects are unlikely to lead to a synthesis version. So (deep breath): here’s my own attempt. The point is it’s doable, not to say ‘this is it’! @davidrvetter.bsky.social @isabellamweber.bsky.social

Another 5 or 6 days like yesterday and he falls to number 2 on the rich list. Fast approaching the point where Trump’s allergy to ‘losers’ kicks in.

Bild now claiming to speak on behalf of the ‘will of the majority’. And when the anti-migrant measure they were supporting doesn’t get through parliament that’s ‘madness’. Not even pretending to care about democracy anymore.

Economic illiteracy as campaign slogan from Germany’s FDP. The sign reads ‘Debt: children are liable for their parents’.

So now YouTube is offering me to watch the Musk-AfD event live with German translators. Sponsored by a company selling gold with over 300 thousand followers. Just in case the grift isn’t explicit enough.
