How do skinny people do it!? Are they just perpetually hungry and never satisfy that desire? They can’t all have high metabolism and/or stupendous willpower…right? 😩

The Macroeconomics class I'm taking this semester has me feeling *very* dumb 😅 I'm definitely carving new wrinkles in my brain!

I think one of the most terrifying things I’ve ever heard is: “The last hydrogen bomb detonated was four thousand times more powerful than the bomb detonated over Hiroshima” 4 THOUSAND times more powerful than a bomb which incinerated ~70,000 people in an instant. What in the fuck…😳

I'm gonna remind people that I feel pretty strongly that if you bought one of my ebooks legitimately, then you own the book and however you secure that ownership is fine by me mashable.com/article/how-...

“It is obvious that the future of logic, as well as of all theoretical science, depends essentially upon normalizing the political and social relations of mankind, and thus upon a factor which is beyond the control of professional scholars. I have no illusions that the development of logical +

Phil Lawn's trophic structure of the economy 🤩

Hot damn, after watching the first 40 minutes of this (Nitzan’s talk) I’m reminded that I *must* finish the book! And soon dammit! 😅

Oh nice! A new Capital as Power 2 hour convo with Jonathan Nitzan, Michael Hudson, Tim Di Muzio, and Blair Fix 🧐 youtu.be/tBOU4xBg2pA?...

NEW PIECE: Since early on this crisis I've thought about the fastest warning signs of mass payment failure or mass impoundment. I pursued "deep background" calls with former or current Federal Reserve/Treasury/Banker informants to find out. This is the result www.crisesnotes.com/how-can-we-k...

Ursula le Guin, on the accusation that fantasy is an escape from reality

I had forgotten how much I despise Rossiu and how willingly so many of the characters from the first half of Gurren Lagann just go along with his fascism 😒

When I need a break from my Econ reading for classes, I’ve been reading ‘Writings on the General Theory of Signs’ by Charles W. Morris and really digging it! It’s very systematic and straightforward, no muss no fuss. I’ve come to appreciate this sort of writing…part of my analytic turn I suppose 😅

Watching ‘Fire Walk With Me’ and…Kiefer Sutherland cast as a nerdy type is just such a miss 😅

Holy shit! Adam Curtis and Alan Moore had an hour long chat…I gotta give this a listen 🎧 youtu.be/xr-8Jj8mSpw?...

Tankus ✊

I don’t need to own a physical copy of that book, the pdf I have is fine. I don’t need to own a physical copy of that book, the pdf I have is fine. I don’t need to own a physical copy of that book, the pdf I have is fine. I don’t need to own a physical copy of that book, the pdf I have is fine.

Thankfully Twin Peaks is back on PlutoTV, after a week of being off of it very randomly(!?) so now I get to finish up the first 2 seasons (again) 🥰

"'We’re bringing attention to what’s happening to the parks, which are every American’s properties,' said Gavin Carpenter, a maintenance mechanic with Yosemite and military veteran who supplied the flag and helped hang it." www.sfchronicle.com/outdoors/art...

Just watched an interesting movie called ‘Next Exit’ which I had basically zero expectations for and yeah, I really really enjoyed it!

Ok, I watched one video and am now obsessed 🤩

My wild Saturday nights consist of drinking too much coffee, eating too much Bear Naked granola, watching too much Sci-Fi B-movies, and reading (never enough) 😏

Y’all

If yr in Pittsburgh, this is tomorrow

I found a loophole to listen to YouTube on my phone w/headphones with the screen off w/o paying. Play the video, then hit the home button so the video drops to the small version. Then, press the power button. After the screen shuts off and vid stops playing, hit the play button on headphones. Bam 😏

A new narrative is being aggressively pushed by Israel and its apologists to justify resuming the Gaza genocide, conveniently just as an important deadline for ceasefire negotiations draws near. www.caitlinjohnst.one/p/israel-pus...

Last week I had a conversation with @epochphilosophy.com about anarchism and postmodernism. It was a welcome change of pace and a great discussion. Go give it a watch! youtu.be/dhFcBWwPF9o

Shin is commemorated by our February T-shirt of the month, made by a workers' Co-op supporting grassroots unions in Asia: shop.workingclasshistory.com/products/t-s...

Last week, anti-Zionist Jewish students across the country marked the holiday of Tu Bishvat, the new year of the trees, with Palestine solidarity seders standing against the Israeli government’s systematic destruction of Palestinian land.

🧵 As always centrists are trying construct a narrative to blame the left for the predictable outcomes of their own policy. They are arguing that the left is to blame for the rise of the far right. The argument goes that because the left oppose bigotry that bigotry is on the rise.

Here's video of Steve Bannon doing a Sieg Heil today at CPAC. It is what it is and it's what Bannon intended. Don't let yourself be gaslit.

Become a Danish Marxist:

Movies you’ve watched more than 6 times
