The Epstein list occupies a peculiar position in the contemporary political imagination: it is at once a genuine artifact of predatory criminality and a malleable instrument of elite power. Depending on who deploys it, ...

I don't use BlueSky that often, it seems like more people are, though. So let me just say that I recommend the movie "The Dead Don't Hurt."

If I keep using this it'll go somewhere, that's what they seem to be saying, lol.

A lot of the Trump voterbase should be understood as a consequence of having class-based suffering and maladies without a strong enough left that can provide class-consciousness and collective political logic as a pathway to overcoming those maladies.

Palestinians are being killed by a colonial apartheid state, and we're here to make our stance clear and simple: If you're a Zionist, antisemitic, Islamophobic, or pro-genocide, we will block you. We stand for the liberation of the Palestinian people.

I like the recent Chris Hedges interview - juxtaposing "corporate elite" against "oligarchic elite," which explains why the debate had Kamala praising Goldman Sachs and all the Wallstreet canon, and Trump posing somehow as an opposite of these things. Neoliberalism vs Authoritarian Capitalism.

Study what you find interesting, because none of us are guaranteed a future anyway. And if you think the humanities and history do not matter, think about all the people invested in trying to stop you from studying them, and ask why.

Terribly interesting paralells here with the collapse of Young Hegelianism after 1843 in this piece from @bmstudebaker.bsky.social.

The Millennial Left as a Moment in Internet History
There have been many interesting books and articles recently about the demise of the millennial left. Here are just a few. I like this material--I think we could do with some more reflection about eve...

I put together a new starter pack of people who do work on the history of socialism. Encompasses different aspects, tendencies, and eras, including recent years. Let me know if you have suggestions or would like to be added yourself.

So when we say that BlueSky actually has the prospects to "replace" Twitter, what are we saying? (I was never a Twitter user really, but of course anything ruled by plutocrats is not good).

@court-fost.bsky.social Hey thanks for nagging me to join this thing. I actually never did do Twitter but this is actually not too bad of a place and so far does not seem to me to be too restrictive of an enclosure.
