feel like academia should bring back the writing convention of "Author X claims Y. Fine. But our analysis of Y is based on..." That petty little "Fine." is so good

That makes more sense to me as how to read it, yes! Thank you! Partly asking this because in trying to get a grip on Polanyi I'm realizing most references to his ideas are actually based on Block and Somers and trying to figure out if misattribution is just how ppl do things in the academy

niche academia question: is it normal to talk about the "metabolic rift" as Marx's concent or as Bellamy Foster's? I was taught it as a Marx idea but isn't it more accurate to call it an interpretation of Marx by a guy? Does that denigrate it somehow?

Insert a big exhausted exhale because @beebrookshire.bsky.social absolutely captured the frustration of trying to cling to community as each social media network becomes a Nazi bar over & over & over: brookshire-team-trash.beehiiv.com/p/backed-int...

Backed into a corner

Where do I share, when every "where" is terrible?

So @spacelawshitpost.me aka Link got banned. I just got text message.

So yeah. We stop saying things are accidents now?

Link of all people?

Apparently Jay said something to him before taking him down. He didn’t even get a chance to reply.

He sent this image.

This is sad.

"The Situation" is also unfortunately not available because that's a guy

Thinking about what wild understatement of the facts we're going to use for this time period since "The Troubles" is taken
