It’s been great working with @d-j-frost.bsky.social on the third volume in our series on the history of the British far left. The volume, once again, brings together established and emerging scholars and Dan was instrumental in getting a lot of them involved in the project. It has been exciting to!

I’ve written a piece on the curious lack of media and political interest in the issues faced by our national @britishlibrary.bsky.social. This is strange given we live in a world where ideas, knowledge and research are a long-term source of innovation and insight

The British library is in crisis: why does nobody care?
The widespread indifference to the British Library's crippling cyberattack demonstrates a perilous failure to value the knowledge infrastructure vital for national prosperity

"If it sounds like it's Nazi shit, it's supposed to. The bourgeois state and its political servants have for some time now been trying to get a bit of the glamour of fascism." -@leninology.bsky.social on Labour's asylum policy announcement:

Britain treats the invocation of any moral obligation it acknowledges as minimally binding on itself as a hostility. How dare refugees impose on the state by asking it to do what it ought to do? It doesn't even fulfil this! Labour are, to quote Bevan, less than vermin. A cruel and bureaucratic evil.
BBC News: "the government believe refugees are deliberately bringing their children to avoid deportation"

As opposed to doing what with their children??

Also: the far right is an entertainment franchise to the majority of its base. Labour's strategy would be like telling a generation raised on WWE and AEW that you're going to do *proper* Olympic-style wrestling, with no silly costumes or fake stories. Nobody wants that! They want to be entertained!
Appeasing the far-right gives the broader public the impression that their narrative is true. There is no way to stem support for Reform by endorsing their policies. Either you are fighting against them or you are, regardless of how you see yourself, fighting for them.

DICK DOWN

We break the emergency glass and initiate the Gregk Directive to commemorate the passing of one of the 21st century's greatest monsters, taking a look back at some of his proudest achievements. (However bad you think he was, he was worse.)

Tapping the sign.
Why do you think so many fascist agitators are abusers! They want to hoard the cruelty, not abolish it! They see it as the privilege of the truly human to dehumanise! For them it's the sovereign who decides the state of molestation!

In an interview about Palantir's creeping involvement in the British state and the NHS, I told @prospectmagazine.co.uk: “Its business is death and destruction. This is not an organisation you want running the democratic jewel of the postwar period.”

I think everyone should set aside a little time every day to figure out how to hurt Palantir. It's like a Luddite's prayer.

In a word: bullshit.

In a few more: the BBC has opposed or ignored almost every part of the trans liberation struggle in the UK, in part because one of their millionaire reporters is a hateful little transphobe.
And even she doesn't think they've gone far enough.

Fuck the Beeb.

Boasting a cavernous production style, blast beats, cool bass lines, and just good old riffz, we are happy to bring you one of the best EPs put out this year, a brutal soundtrack to resistance.

'AI things' are bad for young people and their mental health discourse 💯. However that discourse also produces 'yp are in constant crisis', 'yp have no resources', 'all online things are bad for yp'. Like 'hello'. If you're not interested in resourcing yp at least point them in the right direction

Our next episode features Abigail Susik, Ben Morea, and Breanne Fahs to discuss 'Black Mask', surrealist and spiritual militancy in New York in the 1960s, and the echoes of the incendiary cry "up against the wall motherfucker"

Which, of course, is but the latest extension of Predictive Capital’s influence upon our perceive reality, and constitutes the augmentation of The Tyranny of the Recommendation Algorithm with the sovereignty of next-token prediction.

🧵There’s an increasing incidence of people invoking the perceived authority of a chatbot to win online spats. This why Musk had Grok next-token predict a rewrite of wikipedia? So he can invoke his own hegemon to win arguments? Such is hyper-concentrated Capital‘s increasing influence over “reality”
