I’ve been rereading some of Gunn’s older works and this is the only one that hasn’t been deeply frustrating but he manages to not really say anything about what would make a given social understanding valid.
Given that the reflexivity is negative and informal, this is a problem.
Tusk was cutoff from the slop tap from a day and decided to pull a Pilsudski out of boredom. immense.
We estimate that service restoration for #AO3 will take around 2 weeks but it could be up to 4 weeks. We are hopeful that we will be able to bring the site back up in a degraded state sooner. Refer to our status page for updates: otwstatus.org/
Fuck I never wrote that essay on Hont’s attempted encirclement of Marx.
This one’s pretty good and the book is worth reading for people who are interested in historical political economy.
Out! "Hontology, or, How I Learned to Stop Worrying and Love a Crisis" - @benwlm (@Harvard) offers a review essay on "Political Economy from Pufendorf to Marx", by István Hont, ed. Lasse S. Andersen, with @bkapossy and Richard Whatmore (@CambridgeUP, 2026) tandfonline.com/doi/full/10.…

Goddamn this is so fucking lame. This pathetic and thwarted narcissism is never compelling when it’s regurgitated by a woman— from a man it just makes me think you’re unworthy of any dignity.

This is such a bleak story about what it's like to try to land a job right now. nytimes.com/interactive/2026…

Incredible. Endless stories about young people feeling disillusioned, dooming about not being able to even buy a house etc, and yet there is no politician of any party (afaik) that will actually do anything to reduce the boomers’ slice of the pie.

I think its generational warfare and that they should sell their houses if they can't afford them. He concedes I'm 'theoretically correct' but practically wrong

Gunn and Wilding have gotten me to open the Phenomenology for the first time in a decade and I have to say: this sucks.

When Nozick published this thought experiment, Chamberlain — the world’s best and most famous basketball player — was making 20 times the median income. Now every player in the NBA earns that, and there is a player on each team making 800 times the median.

they're not worried about invading countries taking the gold, they're worried about the united states taking the gold
Jamie Dimon to a country that pulled its gold out of New York: you have three armies within 400 miles, while gold in America is protected by two oceans and the US military
“If we have the strongest military in the world and the strongest economy in the world, we will be the preeminent reserve currency. It is those two things.”
“I was in a country somewhere in the Middle East, and also in Europe, and the people said, we took our gold out of the vaults in New York City and moved it to our country. You know what I said to him? I said, you have three armies within 400 miles who can come take your gold.”
“That’s the real world. You’re not thinking clearly about safety. That gold is protected by the Atlantic, the Pacific, the United States military, the rule of law.”
“But if we are not the preeminent military and economy, you will see our reserve status come down.”
The real answer is vendettas and civil wars and it will not be for fun.
