Right now in the US the Republican Party is outlawing the study of race, colonialism, and any understanding of the American Empire, while Democrats are saying that it is fine to study all of that stuff--just know that you are not supposed to actually act on it.
one of my very fav pieces by Marina Vishmidt is this review essay from 2015, on works by Federici and Caffentzis academia.edu/10850981/Strug…
Posted in memory of Marina Vishmidt (second from right). A great person to be on a panel with, so smart and always so much fun.
My post-postscript on control independent study comes to an end today with a discussion of Maurizio Lazzarato, who has probably done the most to follow up on Deleuze's fragment through his theory of debt and noopolitics as a politics of control. unemployednegativity.com/2017/08/beyond…
One of the (many) reasons I can't stand this whole "Woke" killed comedy crap is that on some level "I Think You Should Leave" could be considered woke (gay and lesbian couples, diverse cast, etc.) and it is the most drop dead hilarious show to come out in years.
Antisemitism against anti-Zionism.
To Marina Vishmidt – you made us all better, our world is worse off without you. RIP comrade makhzin.org/issues/feminis…
This past Friday was not only the last day of the semester, but my last day in the classroom after almost 20yrs of teaching, the last 10yrs at @FromCBU. I only had two classes, at 10am and 11am, and I was excited to end this part of my life on a high. 🧵1/25

No book discusses everything, least of all the ones that claim to offer some grand theory of it all. If your point is only "this book did not discuss X" you have not so much written a criticism as you have given yourself an assignment.

Finished Work Won’t Love You Back by the great @sarahljaffe and following it up with @Unemployedneg’s latest book The Double Shift. Very excited. Gorgeous cover too!
love these statements that are rewriting the geographies of the university

RIP Marina Vishmidt. I'm fortunate to know many smart people but Marina always seemed like the brightest kid in the room. Here she is on the left in the unlikely environs of a Clapton FC game with myself and her close friend Anthony Iles.
'Thank you American students' From the displaced people in Rafah
If you are upset about what protests and tents are doing to the sanctity of the university experience in this country wait until you find out what bombs and drones have done to the universities in Gaza.
Been working at or attending public universities for almost 20 yrs and been told we can’t stop the preachers who insult all the students because of 1A rights, that we have to be careful with university social media moderation due to free speech concerns. And now we get this?

@Unemployedneg They are saying it's fine to study, you just can't change it.
This is a super accurate review. Also, it's a movie about photographers. You don't get a lot of those.
‘Civil War’ is like an Oliver Stone movie that could pass the Bechdel test - wildly entertaining and disturbing ; somewhere between ‘Soylent Green’ level dumb and ‘Children of Men ‘ prescient masterpiece
so much love and solidarity to the faculty standing up for their student at Columbia right now
NOW: Columbia University faculty link arms and form a wall in front of the entrance to the ‘Gaza Solidarity Encampment’ as hundreds of students encircle the both lawns Students remaining in the encampment were told they could face disciplinary action after 2PM
The president of UChicago should read “Notes on Camp,” by one of his institution’s most famous alumni, and send a follow-up email explaining why the encampments aren’t camp
Please stop making fun of this. UChicago alumni only start doing etymology when they’re very distressed
one really jawdropping part of the campus-wide email just sent by UChicago's president
Overall lives up to the hype and then some. Revelatory
It was a beautiful evening at the Popular University of Montreal. The @mcgillu admin keeps ratcheting up the threats, but everything was peaceful and spirits were high.
Nothing's funnier than a comedian complaining about why no one finds him funny.
Jerry Seinfeld says TV comedy is being hurt by "the extreme left and P.C. crap, and people worrying so much about offending other people." “It used to be, you would go home at the end of the day, most people would go, ‘Oh, “Cheers” is on. Oh, “MASH” is on. Oh, “Mary Tyler Moore”…

The McClellan Report: When You Want Financial Predictions from People Who Don’t Think Independently, but Do What They’re Told
Attention job seekers. I will not hire any recent graduate of Columbia, because that school is so tainted that I will not be able to trust in the character nor the educational attainment of any of its students. And I furthermore will not hire any older graduates either, because…
I love that my timeline is just men clarifying they prefer owls
Are there any men out there who have a favorite bird that is not an eagle? Every single man I have ever asked said "eagle".
I'm really inspired by how hard these kids go with the de-arrests. They're crazy.
NYU threatening suspensions of students still at the encampment today, rumors of another wave of arrests at Columbia at 2pm today. If you live in NYC and want to show solidarity with these brave student, NOW would be a good time to do that
The more DuBois I read, the more I relate and admire. He is the 20C political theorist I’ve taught most in my various classes, but am only writing abt for the first time (with great trepidation). He’s just such a beautiful writer than even in disagreement it is pleasurable.
@Unemployedneg It is indeed such an amazing book
Media: 10,000 identically chiding articles about campus culture wars, intertextually praising one another Also Media: College students are susceptible to fashions and trends rather than proceeding from a deep understanding of subject matter.
Today I finished my first complete re-watch of #TheExpanse – surely one of the finest sci-fi series of the past twenty years.
This is probably right. Most people don't form political opinions through deep examination of the issues or reasoning from first principles. It's more like picking some particular fashion label or way of dressing. Especially for younger people, who face more peer pressure.
