On his election in 1655, Pope Alexander VII commissioned Gian Lorenzo Bernini to sculpt a skull in marble, which he kept on his desk as a reminder of death's omnipresence. The sculpture was rediscovered in 2021 at Schloss Pillnitz, Dresden

Guido Ubaldo Abbatini, Pope Alexander VII with Bernini's skull (1655-56), Art Collection of the Sovereign Order of Malta, Rome. Pope Alexander VII sits in an elaborately carved chair, carved with the Chigi coat of arms, and rests his hands on a carved skull on the desk in front of him and looks out at the viewer

It sure would be nice
To be back home
Where there's love and affection
And just maybe I
Can convince time to slow up
Giving me enough time
In my life to grow up
Time, be my friend, let me start again

It's been 200 days since masked government goons abducted Rümeysa Öztürk for writing an op-ed they didn't like.

She's no longer behind bars, but they're still trying to deport her, and they still don't want the public to know why.

The U.S. government is hiding Öztürk records. Its rationale is insulting

If the government was really concerned about protecting privacy, it wouldn’t have abducted and detained Öztürk for writing an op-ed

the full series of seven discussions Horkheimer & Adorno had in January, 1939—focusing on the concept of the individual in Marx, Hegel, Freud, Kant, Hume, Heidegger, Caillois, the Oedipus myth, & more—that would lead to Dialectic of Enlightenment!

Have a piece today in TEEN VOGUE from my new book POLICE AGAINST THE MOVEMENT detailing how the NYPD, LAPD, cops in Chicago and Memphis surveilled the civil rights movement—and then destroyed millions of surveillance files in the ‘70s, including ones that may have shed like on MLK’s assassination.

If this ceasefire happens - and I hope it does - Western media will talk about 'peace'. This will be inaccurate. What they will mean is 'quiet', a reversion to the background level of violence that Palestinians have faced for decades. Peace can only come with the end of the occupation and apartheid.

At an academic conference and the most common conversations I've had is stuff like, "How many faculty is your school trying to fire? Do you still have professional development funds? Do you still have an English department?" Fun times!
