Trickledown necropolitics

So "alternative facts" then

The Limits of Marx in the Age of Trumpian christofascism The Republic of Gilead from The Handmaid’s Tale; the christofascist state we’re headed for….? For me, it is increasingly perplexing to witness traditional class-based critiques be…

In the light of Trump's Holy Jihad that is a clear direction of his Christian Nationalist backers, it's worth revisiting that wot I wrote a while back: "the limits of Marx in the age of Christo-fascism" to think of resistance

HAHA! It's funny because the Epstein Files are the only thing that matters and the thousands of dead school children and Iranian people are just distracting from the real issue. I am very intelligent.

"Mr Speaker, as @GIGACHAD_1776 said to me on X yesterday"

Grammarly's presentation of something they call Expert Review, including my name (plus Stephen King's, plus Mary Norris's), though to be sure I've never been contacted by Grammarly, much less compensated.

What in the absolute fuck is this.

Compare this with, oh I dunno, Matthew 5 verse 38 “You have heard that it was said, ‘An eye for an eye and a tooth for a tooth.’ But I say to you, Do not resist the one who is evil. But if anyone slaps you on the right cheek, turn to him the other also.

Of the utterly unhinged, necropolitical rhetoric 2026 has unleashed so far, this is waaaay up there

Those of you old enough will remember Robin as the guy who treated the Focus E15 mothers of the Carpenters Estate with such horrific contempt. He's a mysoginistic, gentrifying bully - so perfect from Reform.

The kneejerk reaction that any black or brown people who come to the UK to study must be doing it for alterior motives is one of the more foundational blocks of the institutionally racist house.

Mahmood to stop study visas from four countries due to 'abuse' The government will end study visas from Afghanistan, Cameroon, Myanmar and Sudan, due to what she says is abuse.

Great. More attacks on the university sector under the guise of 'cracking down' on asylum. Perhaps if there was a functioning asylum system for Afghans, they wouldn't feel the need to 'lie' and apply for study visas?

FYI - you and I are closer in wealth to Bezos, than Bezos is to Musk.

Extremely exciting news that the brilliant @olimould.bsky.social’s new book Post-capitalist Cities is OFFICIALLY OUT & ready to purchase!

I just put in my order - I recommend you do the same! 🤓🤓🤓

Trumpian Jihad

The more you see of the horrors of this ‘conflict’, the more it feels like a Holy War playing out on our screens.

Yes, because we all know ‘the Global South’ is a homogenous uniform block that requires no nuance at all. *stares in orientalism*

The contrast between him and Chris Sutton on the Monday Night Club for example is massive.

Apropos of nothing, Nedum Onuoha is by far and away the best football pundit going: articulate, knowledgable, polite and funny. Only ossifies my theory that full-backs make the best pundits (and strikers make the worst).

Strong. Very strong.

Tell that to the hundreds of girls they killed. I’m sick of the “distraction” discourse; it’s a liberal disease.

‘Natural gas’ prices in the EU have shot up ~40% in a day on news that Qatar is ceasing liquid ‘natural’ gas production at the world’s largest plant.

In related news, sunlight and wind remain free.

This feels like it'll be read out in The Hague quite a few times

Tin Tin and Capitain Haddock meme, with the capitain saying "what a week huh?" and Tin Tin replying "capitain, it's only Monday lunchtime"

If I was going to write a story about how the first ever AI-led 'conflict' in the Middle East would play out, then the last 24 hours are pretty much it.

Reform win a seat: The true Volk have spoken and we all must listen.

Greens win a seat: Early reports that Muslims may have ‘voted’ (an ancient Islamic practice designed to steal elections). How severely should the franchise be limited in response?

We need to talk about this Jordan Pickford save. To save a shot at that speed at that stage in the game... incredible!

What radicalised me? Nothing; the world just decided having empathy was radical.
