President Xi, sir, now is the time to get Montreal onto the Belt and Road

did we basically end up with a (tentative) ceasefire because Trump though it was bad PR to have the murder machine switched “on” for this long?

within each Marxist there are two wolves

My cats are perfect (thanks to @aleksmasternak.bsky.social for catsitting and for the photo)

They’re calling it Marxism-Posnerism

could you imagine if they struck oil at ground zero and all the mourners started jumping around like cowboys. My god i want some of that oil

Uhh, thanks I guess?

Neither rules-based, nor international, nor an order - Voltaire, probably

I’ve been talking about the political economy of vibes for years (though I meant something much less stupid than this)

Toronto is so cooked dude

Playing at Bar Lesco in Montreal this Friday at 8 with Timeghost. We will be loud and very fun.

All of you have been running your mouths on the theory that the literal world champion would just fold and lose immediately. His match with Nepo was super fun, hoping this one is super fun (and reasonably balanced) as well.

My god the return of Gorka

The worst critique of the ICC warrants is that they equate a “liberal democracy” with a “terrorist group”. That is the entire point of the law of armed conflict - parties are bound to the same rules whether you personally like them or not, whether you think the war is justified or not.

A two-week tax holiday on consumer purchases is such a stupid idea it could only come from Canada

With an arrest warrant out for Netenyahu and co Germany’s commitment to being lawful evil is about to be put to the test

lol, lmao even

Warrants are long overdue, it’s a stain on the ICC that such obvious criminality wasn’t dealt with sooner. Still, it doesn’t mean much because law is 99% about enforcement and the ICC has no ability to execute these warrants.

Thrilled that my paper “Non-ideal Theory as Ideology” has just been accepted at the Journal of Ethics and Social Philosophy. Link to preprint: philpapers.org/archive/WALN...

Is it even possible to use the heavier guided munitions NATO has been sending Ukraine (ATACMS, maybe Stormshadow?) without also using NATO-supplied targetting data?

Haven’t we already done this once before (and as I recall it was very embarrassing)? The Americans should focus on who their own president is instead of doing this Monroe Doctrine stuff.

this might be funnier than Gaetz

please follow and share! I'm really proud of this project, and if you have any interest in philosophy or leftist political thought, I think you'll like it and hopefully even get something out of it 💖

Workshopping a new kind of veggie shepherds pie - going to make a mushroom gravy first and use that to thicken the lentils and (pre-roasted) vegetables before broiling.

Lot of people sounding very confident that Gaetz etc might just be sacrificial nominees. Maybe, but I’d invite you to recall how deeply stupid 2017-2021 was.

open.spotify.com/episode/0vu6... For all you Adorno fans out there come learn about your free time under capitalism, Adornian autonomy, and why you shouldn’t have “hobbies” (I guess 🤷🏾)

“i’d love to read it” sure lemme just rewrite the entire thing

Since it seems like these classics from the bad place are re-circulating here, I humbly present my most (only?) viral post to date: types of political theory paper…

does Bluesky have, anyone who types, like Jordan Peterson, tweets?

are they intentionally humiliating RFK here, because if so it’s v funny

I made a first attempt, there are DEFINITELY people missing, so I PROMISE this does not arbitrate who is inside and outside of LPE! You can reply to be added or DM me, also feel free to suggest other people, etc. go.bsky.app/P2sMKhK
