Grateful to @utennpress for making this book. It's written for ordinary people ready to take reality seriously: not without the comfort of tears, but without false hopes or make-believe about how our #collapse is going. Taking polycrisis seriously opens new, real possibilities.
University of Tennessee Press@utennpress

Out today! Ira J. Allen's "Panic Now?: Tools for Humanizing" is a master class in how to create more humanizing outcomes by confronting the panic that comes with the realization that the world as we know it is ending. Order your copy today wherever fine books are sold!

What will happen in broader academia when clear scientific consensus is that AI-assisted education delivers better outcomes than 3.8M teachers currently do?

@rafkhach The fact that most tt (and aspirational ntt) faculty *still* don't believe that they are labor in any strong sense bodes, uh, ill.

Academia is at a crossroads. Either we admit that this three tiered system (TT, NTT, precarious/unemployed) is a way of segregating and managing the labor force and expand the struggle accordingly, or we accede to our enemies who wish to see higher ed as a fortress of elite power

I have no professional support as NTT faculty. I still try to research and write because it keeps me connected to my interests. I pay for all conferences out of pocket. Yet I still have to jump through the annual hoop of reporting publications and presentations.
The Chicago Maroon@ChicagoMaroon

Instructional faculty will no longer be able to apply professional development funding toward “expenses related to original research activity,” according to an Office of the University Provost memo obtained by the Maroon. chicagomaroon.com/45775/news/uni…

Quick! Let's make sure we hear from a person whose professional job is PR spin! It's the only way to get the truth of the matter! Hard to overstate how much being Dem aligned today is just a commitment to being gaslit at all times.
Alex Thompson@AlexThomp

Former Biden press secretary Karine Jean Pierre on the post-debate fall-out. “It was a firing squad…I had never seen anything like that before…that was shocking, shocking…It was truly, truly unfortunate. And I think it hurt us more than folks realized.”

@MattPolProf @AlbertBikaj Literally no competent mind in the year 2025 could arrive in good faith and as a result of serious interlocution at the take you responded to here. It's not just risible as proposition, but impossible as result of functional dialogue.

That's a very handy way of exonerating the far right of any agency or responsibility in pushing noxious policies. Not to mention plenty of mainstream conservative enablers who helped popularize and mainstream far right talking points.

It is entirely possible that the United Health CEO was killed by a corporate-hired hitman due to the huge lawsuits happening, Like the Boeing whistleblowers who were killed and that evidence was planted on Luigi Mangione to frame him. I dont know- but its possible.

@natashalennard @theintercept The fact that a deeply smart person like you has to spill this much ink--and I agree that you do, to be clear!--to make a case this exceedingly obvious resonate for Dem-adjacent ppl in the US is, in itself, diagnostically *terrible*.

@podsekalnikov It's even worse than capitalist realism. Easier to imagine the end of the world than the end of capitalism, and impossible to imagine anything BUT the undisrupted reproduction of society.

@EthicalLab They are so caught up in institutionalism that they can't imagine doing anything but filing lawsuits and thinking that voters equate that to "doing something."

I don't have much use for Maddow in general, but good for her here in trying to get the Dems to be *for* anything at all. And Jeffries with just the nothingest and most Dem Party imaginable response: "We're ALREADY doing a great job!"
The Tennessee Holler@TheTNHoller

Maddow tries to shake @RepJeffries into meeting the moment: "Policy doesn't feel like the main conversation… we are in the middle of a Ketamine-fueled middle of the night autocratic power grab rendering Congress irrelevant, making the rule of law an afterthought if not a joke."

3/ 🔭 Extractivism is a lens through which we can look at capitalism. When we look through that lens we see... violence.
