Reading Stuart Hall for the Climate Crisis Stuart Hall’s politics of culture offers the left a blueprint for confronting the climate crisis.

Excited to be soft-launching a new online essay series for @the-breakdown.bsky.social - (re)reading radical thinkers for the climate crisis.

First up is Casey A. Williams on Stuart Hall and his analytical power for climate strategy today.

Elon Musk's $1tn pay deal approved by Tesla shareholders The richest man in the world will get hundreds of millions of new shares if he hits his targets.

If 1000 billion dollars for a single human beings work really makes you think about the labor theory of economic value AND the madness of economic reason, do I have the essay for you by @cacrisalves.bsky.social. What Would Marx say?

Weekend read?

In honour of D Harvey’s birthday, I revisit Marx, Capital & the Madness of Economic Reason. I challenge the β€˜polycrisis’ narrative, focus on capital & use a physics analogy to explain value.

Happy birthday, David Harvey! πŸŽ‰πŸŽ‚

I couldn't agree more. It's both infuriating and disheartening to see journalism reduced to chasing clicks and scandals in any field, often at the expense of substance and genuine informative value.
