@FoodForestNetwk @haymarketbooks hmmm. not really no. not an elaboration. certainly one could read it as exemplifying certain bullshit trends. but graeber says a BS job produces a certain nihilism in the worker, and this job was deeply meaningful for me.

In which, among other things, Matt and I discuss the difference between academic labor and corporate labor in reference to my forthcoming book with @haymarketbooks, "Fake Work: How I Began to Suspect that Capitalism is a Joke."

2 NYC police images to think about today. Left, NYPD lock arms to protect Amazon shipments and operations from their striking workers; right, police, the NYPD police commissioner and Mayor of NYC Eric Adams escort suspected heath-care assassin Luigi Mangione as he arrives in NYC.

The long decline of CUNY continues with the faculty union @PSC_CUNY and NY State Democratic party helping in the effort. I'll be voting no on this contract.

@z_hu__ @cunyonstrike @RanknFileAction @PSC_CUNY @psccunygc It's all very bleak. Thanks for writing this though--has anyone put this kind of analysis in an actual doc or single page that I can share for my less online colleagues?

@frantzen_mikkel WOW! Congratulations. I hope your publisher will send a copy to the masked man who executed a health care CEO on 54th Street in midtown and then rode away on a bike.

Sad to log on and see so many people I like whose posts I enjoy reading and then to read them. Come on, folks, let's move our convo to more politically temperate climes. If not the Marxists, then at least the liberals!
