i'll say it again, my loud and vigorous support for any democrat who calls for televised hearings and criminal charges for everyone involved in DOGE. this guy should never be able to live in peace again.
On the left: Nate Cavanagh, a 28-year-old DOGE staffer and college dropout.
On the right: Mohammad Halimi, a 53-year-old exiled Afghan scholar.
This is the story of how DOGE targeted Halimi on social media.
Then the Taliban took his family. 🧵

I wrote an idiosyncratic snapshot of the state of political theory. Basically, I don't think the study of decolonization grows out of postcolonial theory. It's the intellectual afterlife of the global financial crisis and the protest decade that followed.

There is a false dichotomy drawn between "the ivory tower" and "the real world," and I'm here to report that in a post-industrial society, your real-world economy absolutely hinges on the university.
University towns are factory towns. Universities drive economic activity, not the other way around.

Friends of community psychoanalysis, please consider signing the following petition. Santé Quebec is unilaterally closing the "388" in Quebec City, one of the few institutions designed for psychoanalytic treatment of psychotics. It's been around 1982 and is a monumental institution.

Oldie but a goodie, students still love hating it in class: "the original and paradoxical contradiction of capitalism—a form that, on the one hand, develops sublime sentiments and on the other, represses and irritates them, thus preparing a psychological misery as intense as the misery of desire."
