Less than two years ago, an Israeli airstrike on a hospital in Gaza city merited a multi-day news cycle, with international outrage forcing Israel to issue denials and launch an absurd but ultimately successful attempt to muddy the waters with dubious theories about Gazans bombing themselves.

The worst thing about TikTok as a music app is that people keep making absolutely killer dance tracks that are only 2 minutes long

Between a "No Other Land" crew mate filming himself being killed by a settler, to a journalist being killed by airstrikes he was covering minutes earlier, I'm not sure how much more televised Israel's genocide can be

Happening now: protesters in Chicago are interrupting a hiring fair at the Congress Hotel, where U.S. Customs and Border protection is recruiting today.

Banner reads, "stop kidnapping our neighbors!"

It's quite the scene in here, and the DHS table has been blocked for several minutes already.

Today, one faction of reactionaries denounce leftists as enemies of science, while another faction of reactionaries happily embrace that same role, attacking science as totalitarian. Words like β€œpostmodernism” and β€œrelativism” get thrown about with fervor but little clarity, echoes of a conflict from decades ago.

Is there actually a physical world and can we know anything about it?

Did academics on the left influence β€œpost-truth” politics on the right?

How could supposed defenders of β€œscience” get lost in a mire of transphobia?

Hey, I wrote a book.

Did The Science Wars Take Place?

Covers the history and philosophy of a fight in the 80s & 90s between some postmodernists and scientists, with an eye to anarchist interests and lasting political influences among the far-right.

The Sears Tower looking insanely creepy during a blackout, including the impression of a scary face topped by a crown of spikes. It looks like a giant humanoid evil robot or a demonic Minecraft creature.

But the furor around AI training is poised to take out fair use at the knees--not because of an objection to the actual doctrine, but because the fury at AI companies is real, justified, and *completely blind* to the second-order consequences of what they're demanding.

cannot overemphasize that small numbers of community members across the U.S. have *voluntarily* done more to protect you from your local fascists than all the lawyers, policymakers, cops, judges, and lawmakers combined.
