On Thanksgiving, I think we should all, as a family, watch THE LAST WALTZ. It’s the first Thanksgiving with all the members of The Band gone.

Läsvärt om några stora drag i politikens avcivilisering i dag: patrimonialismens återkomst, nyliberalismens vändning till identitetspolitisk auktoritarism och den växande efterfrågan på erkännande och beskydd från andra aktörer än staten.
Staten, det är jag - Respons

Man ska jobba när man är sjuk, svära trohet till nationen, vara villig att dö för Sverige, bli utförsäkrad och förbjudas att yttra sitt missnöje. I utbyte mot allt detta får man äran att bli ignorerad av Sverige om man kidnappas och torteras av en folkmordsregim.

Gig labor is often understood as the expression of digital disruption.

But our new study suggests a deeper story:
