Absolutely incredible turnout for Budapest Pride! So proud of all the organizers, including some old friends, who estimate hundreds of thousands— major embarrassment to Orban

This is great from @attackerman.bsky.social on how Zohran’s opponents tried to use the politics of 9/11 against him - and it didn’t work. www.forever-wars.com/this-is-the-...

This is 25 year old Parnia Abassi. She was an English teacher and a poet. She was killed alongside her younger brother and parents in Israel's attacks on residential areas in Iran last night.

Not to mention the other resources that made the artistic breakthroughs of mid century possible: free time, cheap housing, a whole middle layer of cultural organisations and institutions that has since been burned through
Death is a fact of life, but in the death of recent musicians like Sly Stone and Brian Wilson there is also a matter of mourning the fact that the conditions that gave rise to them no longer exist. The age of streaming does not seem to support musicians at all, let alone innovative ones.

Sorry, you can't call Trump a fascist one minute and then complain about the 'violence' in LA the next. This uprising is the first encouraging news from the US in years

Are they going to reissue that collection of Brechts poetry or what? It seems like the only thing you can get in English is a very slim selected poems

Read the first couple pages of that Abundance book. Leaving aside the blandness of liberal utopia (star trek technology supports the same old social relations): if you think you're getting any of that stuff without some kind of workers' movement then you must be on space crack

Eg Fred Jameson, who did as much as anyone to establish a Marxist left in the USA, used to roll up to campus in a VW bug emblazoned with a peace sign
I'm not unsympathetic to some of what Pen and Citarella have to say, but: 'the hippies became neoliberals' is just not serious analysis

This is the Doomscroll interview with Jen Pen. I have to say it's quite striking how these glaring errors are combined with a very condescending tone, though to be fair that's mostly the interviewer
It'd be nice to at least see some intellectual honesty from Jacobin types when engaging with the history of the new left. It's not true, as I just heard one of them claim in an interview, that they saw college students being 'the world's most oppressed'

There is a branch of liberal theory we might call liberal egalitarianism (LE). It acknowledges various problems of capitalism, for example exploitation, coercion, alienation, environmental destruction, etc. But LE argues these can be removed from capitalism with proper regulations. #booksky 💙📚
