a few months ago i had a great conversation with kate graber and ariana gunderson for the @economicanthro.bsky.social podcast about my dissertation research on corporate sustainability labor in the palm oil value chain.
We talked about a lot of stuff! ⬇️
Is this an excerpt from a corporate sustainability report or from an economic sociology "provocation"?

La mitad de los periodistas que murieron este año en el mundo fueron asesinados por el ejército de Israel en Gaza, donde el genocidio continúa (pero justamente sabemos cada vez menos de él porque siguen eliminando a quienes lo reportan).
67 journalists killed in 2025, half in Gaza, says Reporters Without Borders.

The figure, outlined in RSF's latest annual report, is an increase on the 66 killed in 2024

¿Cómo traducen "the politics of ----" en español?

porque cuando traduzco "la política" suena como que hablo de política pública y quiero más bien expresar "lo político" pero también dando entender que hay varias historias/ideas políticas en tensión

is there any interesting essay or any kind of text around the obsession (or maybe fetish?) of the continuous use of “the left” and “the right” as imagined political communities?

ok i think i just need to reread part 1 of marx's capital in a couple of hours and then I'll be able to revise this manuscript that I have been working on for eight months, easy breezy!

guau. lo sospechaba pero esto solo muestra mas claramente quien “trabaja” 🥸
The numbers in here are hilarious.

Do you use AI on the job?
Execs: 87%
Managers: 57%
Workers: 27%

Planned investment by 2030: $5T
"Necessary" annual revenue to justify that spend: $650B
Current annual revenue: $50B
Three years into the generative-AI wave, demand for the technology seems surprisingly flimsy

Está cabrón que EUA e Israel sólo tuvieron que decir «ya hay cese al fuego» y el genocidio en Gaza desapareció de la agenda público, aun cuando casi nada cambió en terreno.

El genocidio sigue, pero las élites políticas y mediáticas ya no tienen que fingir que les importa.
No, there is no ceasefire in Gaza
Israel’s bombing of Gaza is not a ‘violation of the ceasefire'. It is a continuing genocide under diplomatic cover.

During the height of the pandemic, Tyson used Palantir to predict Covid-19 infections among meatpacking workers down to a nearly exactly figure. But rather than using this data to increase worker protections, Tyson used it plan for labor shortages + plant closures

Israel va a aplicar en Gaza el mismo modelo de “ceasefire” que en Líbano, que como dice Francesca Albanese consiste en tu “cesas” y yo “disparo”. En Líbano han asesinado a + de 100 civiles desde noviembre. apnews.com/article/leba...

seems bad
Record heat now outnumbers record cold by more than 3 to 1 in the US. In a normal climate, they’d be equal. After billions of years of natural hot & cold cycles, human forcing has now overtaken nature as the longterm driving force of our present & future climate.
