La infraestructura digital esencial no puede depender de empresas estadounidenses. Y la lista es larga: email, chat, sistemas de pago, web, redes sociales, creación de contenido, almacenamiento en la red, sistemas operativos y app stores, … vamos tarde. www.techzine.eu/news/privacy...

Some interesting numbers on the decline for clickthrough rates from Google thanks to AI summaries and overviews. It's basically the apocalypse for publisher revenue. https://pressgazette.co.uk/publishers/digital-journalism/google-ai-overviews-leads-to-dramatic-reduction-in-click-throughs-for-mail-

Capra isn't one for nuanced images of threats to America: Meet John Doe (1941) opens with a worker taking a literal jackhammer to the words "free press", raised stone lettering on a newspaper a office and replacing it with a cheap printed sign that says "a streamlined paper for a streamlined era".

El proper 7 de maig participaré amb @david-guerrero.bsky.social en aquestes jornades formatives organitzades per la meva companya @andreaperez.bsky.social des del Grup d'Història Social del Pensament Polític (Institut d'Estudis Catalans). L'accès és gratuit, us esperem!

New Dig! The first in 3-part series with Aziz Rana on his very smart book The Constitutional Bind; the making of the American project and its legitimation through popular worship of US Constitution—starting w foundation of settler empire to eve of World War I www.thedigradio.com/podcast/sett...

Really enjoyed writing this piece and venting my frustrations about those who were outraged by woke m&Ms, trigger warnings etc and have had little to say about students being kidnapped for speech & thought crimes.

El premio Mary Nash fue un oasis en un momento en el que mi carrera académica estaba en pausa indefinida. Hoy las cosas están (algo) mejor, y me hace ilusión ver publicado en @ayer-revista.bsky.social el artículo con el que lo gané. 📍 Lo tenéis aquí: www.revistasmarcialpons.es/revistaayer/...

Remember folks, according to Labour MPs, the public is always right when it complains about immigrants. But it's always wrong when it demands sweeping renationalisation.

🗞️ Rocío Thovar publica este articulito www.eldiario.es/caballodenie... que resume parte de su investigación doctoral sobre el giro político de la ética animal. ¡Echadle un ojo!

Leer esto de @david-guerrero.bsky.social ayuda a entender qué hay de poco riguroso, de ahistórico y de políticamente reaccionario en algunos discursos contra la (inexistente) cultura de la cancelación: www.sinpermiso.info/textos/en-de...

«En defensa de la cancelación» Recomendadísimo texto de @david-guerrero.bsky.social www.sinpermiso.info/textos/en-de...

Why do people think he’s smart? This is ridiculous misinformation. When the United States was formed there were also customs inspectors and postmasters and light house keepers and judges and thousands of others. They made government function.

We have had nearly two decades of panic about Free Speech on Campus and not a single case, not even the ones they made up, were as bad as what's happening now

📌Per si a algú li interessa, aviat farem aquest curs coordinat per en @juliomtzcava.bsky.social a La Central 😍 Amb Pablo Scotto, @david-guerrero.bsky.social, Hypatia Pétriz i Tatiana Llaguno. Us hi esperem!

Imprescindible leer este manifiesto firmado por un grandísimo grupo de colectivos feministas autónomos para no quedar atrapado en dicotomías que muchas veces no se sostienen en la practica.

I’m tired of Good Morning Britain’s habit of discussing some culture wars issue by getting two obnoxious arseholes to debate it with Richard Madeley, & then finishing with ‘We ran a poll on X & 85% say “Rah, Rah, Rah, woke bad”’. The only reason to poll Twitter is to find out what neo-Nazis think.

Mundo de cocinar sin cocinas, arte sin artistas, educación sin educadores. Odian el trabajo y a los trabajadores, solo quieren el producto final, ignoran cualquier noción de proceso, de lo que conlleva y de lo que aporta. Odian la vida. Nos odian.

Y’all, for *years* I’ve wanted to see *Quads for Authors, Editors, & Devils*, the miniature book of letterpress jokes in which “The New Steam Compositor” illustration appears. @caitcoker.bsky.social & @illinoisrbml.bsky.social made it happen. I was *entirely unprepared* for how incredibly smol it is

🚨Last week Helyeh Doutaghi, a scholar in international law, was barred from Yale and put on administrative leave: ‘The decision came three days after a news site powered by artificial intelligence, published a story calling her a member of a terrorist group.’ www.removepaywall.com/search?url=h...

We are living out Rousseau's worst nightmares (Corsica, p. 155 of Kelly trans.).

El próximo 7 de abril tendrá lugar este seminario que organiza el Grupo de Historia Social del Pensamiento Político (SCF-IEC) para discutir, junto a Xavi Granell, el maravilloso libro de Pablo Scotto. Dos cabezas privilegiadas con un tema apasionante entre manos. Os esperamos!

The New Liberal political theorist L. T. Hobhouse predicted the early 20th c. rise of suburbia and hostility of its middle class inhabitants towards substantive tax or social reform would become politically ‘a greater burden than the slum.’ Democracy and Reaction (1904)

#ArtDD2025 Avocet Listening to a talk on church architecture, I felt an avocet asking to be painted. So I did. 😀 📷 @ianfouk.bsky.social with thanks. @saocousins.bsky.social @holnicotenh.bsky.social @andykaitken.bsky.social @stevecobbin.bsky.social @mayfieldbirder.bsky.social @indikon.bsky.social

“The company should be incredibly proud of the people in this room.” What Company? Slip of the tongue? Can’t tell the difference between company and country?

Ralph Miliband against the well-known, leftist slogan “Pessimism of the intelligence, optimism of the will” (1985, 25th anniversary of New Left Review)

This is enough to make *me* kvetch about the reactionary shallowness of (some) liberals. The casual conflation of concern about inequality with envy, as if there could be no other reason for such concern. And the cavalier belief that inequality implies opportunity and warrants *gratefulness*.

Forthcoming in the Historical Materialism book series: *The Revolutionary Movement in Britain 1900–21 The Origins of British Communism* by Walter Kendall, volume ed. John McIlroy.

📖 ¡Nos vemos la semana que viene en el SEMINARIO C.L.A.S.I.C.O.S. a propósito de Lukács en el Instituto de Filosofía del CSIC!
