Our boy's going full Liberation Theology maybe, which is bad for everybody because I will start talking about my MA thesis incessantly.

The German government is currently trying to get people to work more while also not properly funding childcare to actually give people time to do that work. Similar to underfunding public transit and killing bike lanes to be pro-car when its just pro-traffic. Some systemic thinking would be nice...

French Theory for the win

Judah Grunstein @judah-grunstein.bsky.social · 3d

If you wanted to script a scenario to perfectly vindicate the work of Jean Baudrillard, it would be Trump II.

A simulacra of a president running a simulation of a presidency, based on simulacra of news broadcast by simulations of news media.

Baudrillard is to Trump II what Foucault was to GWB.

Today is a day when arts degrees are worthless, but the product of those degrees is so valuable it would kill an entire industry if they were made to pay for it.
