Can’t help but reflect on the *5 years of strikes* we did to defend our pensions, on this, the day USS announce their £10 billion surplus.

Mike Pence just reposted an old article he wrote about the limitations on the powers of a president. For some reason. Here is a part of it.

First paper from a new project on the politics of energy crises and transitions in South Africa is out! I use the analytic of infrastructural time to make sense of (1) how such crises emerge and(2) the specific formations of "resilience" developed in response.

Maybe corny but it was helpful for me to hear Henry Rollins saying "this is not time to be dismayed, this is punk rock time, this is what Joe Strummer trained you for... You can be thunderous in your own life, to the eight people around you. That rubs off... Goodness is viral"

I've been writing a series of essays for PBS on men whose style I admire. The latest is about James Baldwin, a man who knew how to sing through clothes.

Every time I read The Great Gatsby, the final paragraph brings me to tears. Breathtakingly powerful writing:
"I'm alive!" said Gatsby, roaring past on a speedboat. He'd faked his own death and gotten away with everything. That's why they called him the Great Gatsby. "Out of the way, current!" he yelled at the water. "This speedboat is bearing me ceaselessly into the future!"

Pam Bondi pardoned a plastic surgeon who allegedly pretended to give children Covid vaccines and sold Covid vaccination cards ($50 a pop) to over 1,900 people. She said the government’s will shouldn’t be imposed on patients (except when it comes to abortion and gender-affirming care, I guess).

Write that on the blackboard 100 times and never forget it."

A short history of a long-running refrain from the American right.

The big “why do you hate AI?” Thread got comments and quotes turned off, but here’s the main reason I hate AI:

It’s being developed by the worst people on the planet solely to enrich themselves at the expense and labor of the world’s vulnerable populations. Everything else stems from that
