Grateful to the journal of East Asian Science, Technology and Society for asking me to review Jeffrey Ding's excellent new book Technology and the Rise of Great Powers. I use it to discuss AI development not as an inter-national scientific 'race,' but an intra-national financial struggle.

We're not waiting for our bosses to defend our schools. AAUP, UAW, AFT, AFSCME, and more have joined together to defend UCLA just like we did Harvard. We won that and we'll win this. Your dues pay for these cases so join today!

The bear hug in practice meant "those kids are ok to kill because they're different from regular kids"

Congratulations to my brothers and sisters and nonbinary resisters at KU on their first union contract!!!! Huge wage increases for folks at the bottom, real job security, serious academic freedom protections. Life-changing stuff for workers, students and the state.

Salisbury University (Maryland's eastern shore) has a young republicans group that's bringing Jared Taylor, publisher of American Renaissance and one of the more important white supremacists of the 1990s and 2000s, to campus. The org seems to largely be the street team of one influencer.

The YouTube channel Milestones: A Miles Davis Archive does exactly what it says on the bottle btw. Now playing a 1966 concert with herbie et al at the oriental theater in Portland

80% of crypto is wash trading and that's how I'm starting to think about Trump 2.0. The whole admin is just making proclamations and smashing about to inflate the value of their holdings. Occasionally a policy entrepreneur like Miller aligns the market manipulation around war or ethnic cleansing.
