Another excellent episode of @thedigradio.bsky.social, this time on increasingly ambiguous abundance agenda.

Woke up imagining masked ICE agents, pulled from right wing militias like the Proud Boys (from @gabrielwinant.bsky.social @thedigradio.bsky.social), detaining people of color in voting lines until after polls have closed.

There might be an abundance of abundance discussions but this one is really special. It brings together expertise on the housing policy with the bigger question of a post-neoliberal agenda. Listen in!

A few days ago I listened to this episode on how we got from the 2020 uprisings to this moment and it was very good. I really appreciated a moment where there was kind of a disagreement and the guests reflected on how good it was to have both organizer and academic. thedigradio.com/podcast/from...

The AI Productivity Paradox The impact of AI is turning up everywhere except the productivity statistics

“A recent study by the National Bureau of Economic Research found that using AI saved workers just 3% of their time.

Other research has suggested that over-reliance on AI for high-level cognitive work can make people less motivated and worse at their jobs.”

A good place to start might be that the project that we sometimes call like neoliberal globalization is an instance of American or was an instance of American Empire, a particular strategy of American Empire, a way of relating the American ruling class to other national ruling classes that it sought to absorb into itself as subordinate partners to access the workforces that they had access to. That's a kind of classic version of what neoliberal globalization was, that by building a relationship with international diplomatic relationship with international ruling classes in poorer societies, that US capital would then be able to access cheaper labor. It obviously had a kind of harder edge in the forms of oppressive violence, either directly undertaken occasionally by US power or more often outsourced to different kinds of clients or undertaken covertly over the course of many decades.

The psychology of the non-US people who choose to work with #AtlasNetwork partner organisations is interesting. Conscious or unconscious of work to entrench their own local privilege? Less likely to be conscious that they’re tools of US economic empire #auspol #nzpol

Notes on the New Regime w/ Aslı Bâli & Gabriel Winant The Dig · Episode

Really good analysis of Trump 2.0, 'imperial boomerang' @thedigradio.bsky.social

open.spotify.com/episode/1pBM...

Something @gabrielwinant.bsky.social noted on the latest episode of @thedigradio.bsky.social which resonated with me is that many people are turning to left leadership right now because at a time when so many liberal institutions have nothing to say about the rise of fascism, we're fighting back. 1/

So grateful for this kind of conjunctural analysis from @thedigradio.bsky.social It is both inspiring and useful. Don't know if I could keep doing the work organizing without it.

I read this earlier in the week and then today I finally finished listening to the absolutely excellent @thedigradio.bsky.social double-episode with @70sbachchan.bsky.social and @iliasalami.bsky.social. Thoroughly recommend it all, especially as always for gaining a broader, non-Western perspective

This is an absolute must listen episode of @thedigradio.bsky.social on the Zohran primary win.

Can't thank @thedigradio.bsky.social enough for teaching me about Palestine, Israel, and Zionism. This interview with Mohammed El-Kurd hit me the hardest thanks to its more personal tone, but also great are: Mouin Rabbani, Richard Seymore, and Ussama Makdisi.

An excellent discussion on The Dig podcast points to flaws with the GI Bill, but for all of its problems -- its focus on the individual, its initial discrimination along axes of gender and race -- the shift it represented was one of a radical democratization [. . .]

Wow so you’re telling me everyone who cheered on the Iraq war is on board with this now too? And so are the people who opposed the Iran nuclear deal and killed it?

You’re kidding.

Mouin Rabbani erklärt in der neusten Folge von @thedigradio.bsky.social wie die Vergleiche zwischen Nordkorea (Atommacht) und Iran (keine Atommacht) insofern zu kurz geraten, weil der Iran durch seine Rolle im Nahen Osten seit jeher stärker überwacht wird durch die USA.

Israel’s Forever Wars w/ Mouin Rabbani Featuring Mouin Rabbani on Israel’s war on Iran, possible direct US intervention, and the ongoing genocide in Gaza.

“It’s become an addiction to war. [Israel] has now become a state and society that cannot exist without war, that is sustained by war, whose raison d’etre has become war and warfare and more war… an unsustainable path.”
