À la pointe extrême de la société du spectacle, il y a le génocide à Gaza, et aussi celles et ceux qui le regardent en bouffant du popcorn.

A British surgeon returned from Gaza says Israeli soldiers were shooting at aid-seekers “almost like a game of target practice".

The thing about all these fucking statements now from world leaders calling for the food to be let in to Gaza: you have the ability to impose sanctions on Israel and every second you spend talking instead of imposing them is a collaborationist lie.

I want to write some book reviews again soon. I find it a great way to sharpen my own arguments and keep me writing. But since I quit the fascist platform I find it hard to keep up with cool new titles.

Friends and foes: what should be on my radar this summer/fall ?

IDF soldiers have now themselves admitted they have been ordered to murder aid-seekers in Gaza.

Truly an atrocity built on atrocity.

New open access piece!

I trace how financialized capitalism seeps into our emotional lives via William Gibson’s Pattern Recognition, a novel where Homo economicus meets burnout, uncertainty, and what I call “speculative fatigue”. Speculation isn’t just economic—it’s existential and affective.
