Apple is union-busting again, this time by closing its first unionized U.S. store. Reminder that Apple is spending $100B on stock buybacks. Meanwhile, CEO Tim Cook has been fawning over Trump, who effectively gutted the govt agency that supervises union organizing. Textbook corporate greed.

Exciting effort in the tech worker organizing. I promise you, we’re gonna look back on worker organizing like this around AI and layoffs and be really happy if we did all we could to support it. Huge shout out to these workers, What We Will & @techworkerscoalition.org. time.com/article/2026...

and furthermore he also emphasized the same labor could be productive or nonproductive depending on the setting. ie a pianist playing for friends of playing as part of a ticketed performance. similar considerations imho apply to private vs state deployment at times too. 2/2

marx’s thinking evolved over time so there are contradictory passages in different years but his “mature” view is services are commodities consumed at the point of production. however accountants should be seen as nonproductive overhead because they realize values of other commodities. 1/2

sclv @sclv.bsky.social · 25/01/2026
yes, but there exists a broad category of necessary but nonproductive-of value work. this is discussed eg in capital vol 2 chapter 6

sclv @sclv.bsky.social · 25/01/2026
assuming you are engaging genuinely that passage distinguishes between the productive (organizing work) and nonproductive (disciplining workers) aspects of management. cops obv the latter. elsewhere in capital (and tsv, manuscripts, etc) marx elaborates on the distinction in other contexts.

I’m sorry but I still can’t get over the fact that the analyst Jean Leray was captured by Nazis in 1940 and knew it was time to become Goblin Wizardman & this is why the world contains sheaves
1 Prewar work
Leray's first published work, in 1931, was in fluid dynamics; he proved the basic existence and uniqueness results for the Navier-Stokes equations. Roger Temam (74] has expressed the view that no further significant rigorous work on Navier-Stokes equations was done until that of E. Hopf in 1951.he became the Director ("recteur"). His major mathematical interests had been so far in analysis, on a variety of problems which, though theoretical, had their origins in, and potential applications to, technical problems in mechanics or fluid dynamics. Algebraic topology had been only a minor interest, geared to applications to analysis. Leray feared that if his competence as a "mechanic" ("mécanicien," his word) were known to the German authorities in the camp, he might be compelled to work for the German war machine, so he converted his minor interest to his major one, in fact to his essentially unique one, presented himself as a pure mathematician, and devoted himself mainly to algebraic topology."

there were a lot of fans invested in the narrative arc of taylor “growing up” and sort of maturing into a joni mitchell figure or something and the big crime of this album is it absolutely isn’t that but also isn’t maximalist enough to be 1989 era big pop either.
