Species-Being, Metabolism, and Natural Limits, Qui Parle (2025) This essay explores two key concepts in the work of Karl Marx and argues for their essential interconnection: species-being and natural limits. The first section provides a general account of the idea...

My paper, “Species-Being, Metabolism, and Natural Limits” is now out in Qui Parle

‘the arc of the moral universe is long, but it bends toward the singularity, or like, living on mars in a bunker or something’

AI just is a theodicy at this point

what Mbembe says about Marx in the necropolitics essay is kind of wild, yeah ?

a profound moment from Deleuze’s lectures on Spinoza

so the next step in the playbook seems to be: iranian sleeper cells are in every major city in the US, just waiting to be activated.

more nonsensical, preemptive justification for the detainment, harassment, and deportation of basically whomever this regime wants to target.

This is an unjust, unprovoked war of aggression.

TL;DR version is Chuck Schumer is experiencing FOMO.

anyone policing protestor behavior over the next few weeks is your fucking enemy

Dear all,

US Reportedly Assesses It Would Need to Drop Nuclear Bomb to Destroy Iran Nuclear Facility One expert has warned that attacks on nuclear facilities “should never take place” because of the radioactive fallout.

The Pentagon has reportedly assessed that the only weapon that could destroy a nuclear facility in Iran deemed by war hawks to be a key part of Iran’s nuclear program is a nuclear bomb — an intensely ironic finding in a war fought over the pretense of stopping nuclear proliferation.

Not fleeing: New report shows more wealthy residents in Mass., 2 years into 'millionaire's tax' Despite previous concerns, Massachusetts' "millionaire's tax" hasn't seemed to deter high-earners from continuing to live here, according to a new study from the Institute for Policy Studies.

MA put in a millionaires tax 2 years ago, and the GOP said we'd miss revenue targets & millionaires would flee. MA collected TWICE the projected revenues, and the number of millionaires went UP 40%

coursework becomes merely and finally a true formality.

as universities embrace AI-powered online education, and instructors burn out or embrace complicity, the truth of the contemporary university as an exchange relation is laid bare.

the student pays *directly* for a degree. submitting AI generated work to basically AI administered classes.

tldr:

50501 “peacekeepers” opened fire on a 24 year old venezuelan protestor (Arturo Gamboa), who was legally openly carrying a gun.

they shot and killed somebody *else* (a beloved fashion designer), and shot and wounded Gamboa.

then they arrested Gamboa and did *not* arrest the killer.
