A few friends and I are running this on Saturday. Come and see me be stupid behind the decks. It'll be really good. Some low-income tickets available, DM if needed.

Last year, a letter was written regarding the previous attempt at closure. It was signed by just about everyone you could think of in continental philosophy and critical theory.

CRMEP is so important because, in a world that no longer values ideas, it has refused to play along.

My department, the fantastic CRMEP at Kingston University, is due to be closed mid-way through my PhD, as part of a slew of cuts to the Humanities and Social Sciences.

We will be launching a challenge to this. Last year they tried to close us, and we fought it and won - we hope we can win again.

I went on the only good podcast to talk about techno and DJing and queer nightlife. It was really stupid and fun and I was more than a little drunk so... Enjoy?

Same dynamic as FBPE, by the way, it's why the crossover between that and TERFism is so high.
One of my best friends is from a sleepy, wealthy small town in the south-west of Germany. He said, so many of my parents’ neighbours are rich and bored, with little to complain about, and they’ve radicalised themselves at dinner parties and online. In their aimlessness, they’ve bonded over hate.
This isn’t some rant saying “Germany has learned nothing from its past” - the reality is more subtle than that. Middle-class Germans live and travel with an incredible amount of ease and comfort, and they just got…sleepy. Many of them dismissed the far-right’s rage as just another set of complaints.

Nono, they are committed to the defense of The Left against, oh I don't know what is it this time, Nietzschean-Deleuzo-Prometheans? Okay sure whatever that'll work.
For many in left media and academic circles, the most important thing about the "anti woke" "ant-idpol" moment is that it's an opportunity to sell loads of books

new writing coming soon - I am proud of this one

This dialogue has the cadence of one of Charlie and Mac's business pitches from It's Always Sunny
What THE FUCK is this? Even putting the evil of it aside for one second, on what planet, in what conceivable timeline, is this cogent messaging in 2025? Labour Comms is being run by six trainee marketers called APEX or VIVACITY, about to lose a team challenge on the Apprentice 2008.

It is just insane that there are basically no accessible mental health services in this country. No I do not want to fill out a module, that will not fix it. Jesus christ

This is book burning btw
More chilling: The trans victims' page for sexual assault victims has been removed from DOJ's Office of Victims of Crimes page.

Amazing that people think Adorno is depressing when he gives us passages like this, which seems more full of possibility than virtually anything else I've read.
January 31, 2025 at 12:38 PM
I don't have much to say about the situation for trans people in the states, except that we need to understand this as a resounding defeat for the queer politics of the last fifty years or so. Whatever we do next, it needs to be radically different from what we have done before.

Hi you may think that this account will produce a combination of posts about critical theory and perhaps also electronic music. You would be mistaken! It is, for the next six weeks, a Wales Rugby fan account. Get ready for like, one million posts about Dan Edwards

Did a set at superstore last night. Always so lovely to play that room:)

God so the NHS had lost my referral to the GIC that got done in 2021 and I had to track it down and ended up having to be referred *again* and so it looked like I would have to go on the waiting list again. But I don't! It's all fine! I might be seen soon! I can't believe it!

Interesting how it seems that on bluesky everyone seems to talk like it's twitter in 2015. Like the poetics are the same. What's up with that
