The Labour Party recently unveiled a new political apostate from the capitalist class, the billionaire mobile phones and property magnate, John Caudwell, who announced that he would be voting Labour for the first time in his life this general election. This was apparently big news. A billionaire who gave £500,000 to Boris Johnson’s Conservative Party […]

An analysis of inflation expectations suggests that financial market participants see a 50% probability that CPI inflation could be higher than 2.5% over the next five years.
Here’s the TLDR: the UK has a housing crisis because it is bringing in way more immigrants than usual and not building way more housing.
Όπου κι αν κοιτάξουμε, βλέπουμε το Κεφάλαιο να θριαμβεύει. Να κυριαρχεί παντού: στα εργοστάσια, στα γραφεία, στην ύπαιθρο, στα πανεπιστήμια, στις θάλασσες, στα νοσοκομεία, στα μέσα μαζικής ενημέρωσης – στο Διάστημα, αλλά και στον μικρόκοσμο των γενοτύπων. Πώς τολμώ λοιπόν να ισχυρίζομαι ότι ο καπιταλισμός εξοντώθηκε; Από ποιον; Η απολαυστικά ειρωνική απάντηση είναι ότι ο […]

I’m hosting a couple of professionalization discussions for our PhD candidates and postdocs this summer, informal conversations to help them navigate the crazy academic job market. A few weeks ago we discussed job talks as the department had just had a bunch of candidates visit (very different schedule here in Europe than the US) and […]
Three weeks before Trump and Biden sparred over their respective golf games at last Thursday’s presidential debate, “The Courses at Andrews” Air Force Base hosted a charity golf tournament for wounded Ukrainian veterans of the neo-Nazi Azov movement. Editor’s note: the following article was originally published by Moss Robeson on Medium.com. Joint Base Andrews, located fifteen miles southeast of the White House in Prince George’s County, Maryland, is home to Air Force One and three 18-hole golf courses long favored […]

Automatically tagging or filtering child sexual exploitation materials (CSAM) cannot be effective and preserve privacy at the same time, regardless of what kind of tech one throws at it. Because what is and what is not CSAM is highly dependent on context.
Literally the same photo, bit-by-bit identical, can be an innocent memorabilia when sent between family members, and a case of CSAM if shared on a child porn group.
The information necessary to tell whether or not it is CSAM is not available in the file being shared. It is impossible to tell it apart by any kind of technical means based on the file alone. The current debate about filtering child sexual exploitation materials (CSAM) on end-to-end encrypted messaging services, like all previous such debates (of which there were many), mostly ignores this basic point.
I think that says it all, don’t you think? And he knows it.
How might the critique of the scientific method in Herman Meville's Moby Dick be related to a reading of Antonio Gramsci or Edward Said in some of their combined reflections on science and the exploitation and examination of society and nature?

The Supremes are now officially a rogue, radical court David Kurtz at TPM says it well: The most consequential decision yet from the six-justice Roberts supermajority was sandwiched between President Biden’s debate pratfall Thursday night and this morning’s Supreme Court decision on former President Trump’s immunity from criminal prosecution. So before it gets wiped clean from the front pages, I want to just take a moment before the immunity decision comes down to re-cast the current court. The Supreme Court’s decision Friday to overrule Chevron will have vast consequences, many of then unseen or hard to detect, but one of the things we were discussing internally Friday as we assessed the Supreme Court’s term and its four years with a 6-3 conservative supermajority is how the defining characteristic isn’t conservatism at all but the accrual of power to the judiciary at the expense of the executive and legislative branches.
On March 12 last year, former Australian Foreign Minister Bob Carr summed up why the Americans were determined to send the now free Julian Assange to a maximum security jail for over 170 years. Asked by the now retired ABC broadcaster Philip Adams: “ Why is Julian Assange still there [Belmarsh prison]? Why is the Continue reading »
It may be time to think the unthinkable: all the signs are pointing to the West preparing to launch a proper war in Europe. Once started it could bring, for the first time in living memory, millions of Western civilians into uniform and see the cities of the West attacked. Preposterous? Jumping the Shark?

Palestinians must start discussing radical solutions to end Israeli occupation, apartheid and settler-colonialism. The bitter reality for Palestinians in Gaza is that we are alone, beleaguered, under siege, and abandoned even by those who are supposed to be our brethren. Nearly nine months of barbaric massacres have claimed the lives of more than 37,000 Palestinians, Continue reading »
We are told that the high intensity phase of Israel’s war in Gaza is coming to an end. As world leaders contemplate new wars and a compliant media gets busy with freshly minted threats, there are fewer stories on Gaza. Let us not be lulled into believing that, for those besieged in Gaza, the worst Continue reading »
