I wrote about Grenfell, a defining 'national atrocity' for which the identifiable culprits have so far gone unpunished, for the forthcoming issue of the @LRB. You can read it online, early, now. lrb.co.uk/the-paper/v46/…

I remember Jon from my days as a PhD student, he was sharp, with a great dry wit. In his later research on feminism, populism, & Corbynism his takes were always intellectually engaging... A committed union member, a person with real principle & a sad loss of an insightful voice

We are deeply sorry to announce that Jonathan passed away very suddenly and unexpectedly at home on May 24th. Thank you very much for all your collegiality and support for him over the years, and the moving testimonies you have shared since he died. -- Maria (Jonathan’s partner)

@ta_mills 'don't have to...' is a thin line. I'm not sure for how much longer. It is disturbing and somewhat fascinating from a grotesque point of view.

There's so much wrong with academia, but it remains a privilege to work in a profession where you don't have to use LinkedIn.

this is ultimately the reason why my eyes tend to glaze over when I hear about REF 'research impact'...

@pourfairelevide I took it more as a provocation to think with, rather than an answer. You might go to Ostrom for design principles. The 'scaling' and 'planning' bits to your critique invite further questions: Who does the planning? And how do we decide this? What is the appropriate 'scale'?

Graeber at his worst and most infantile. The little communisms & anarchisms of everyday life are real and contain a utopian kernel, but insofar as they can’t be scaled up to actual social planning, that little utopia is a lure and an alibi (often even an ally) for capital
Nia Frome@NiaFrome

david graeber had this point about how communism reigns in casual interactions, like if i ask you to pass me a pen you don't ask "how much?". call the people you deal with communistically your circle of trust. then capitalism is a symptom of (an often justified!) lack of trust.

Proud of everyone who walked away from @WileyGlobal. The pressure on those who remain will be immense - and already witnessed in emails from the new editors who I thought were passive aggressive, but actually aggressive. That is not the feminism who had @GenderWorkOrg

In order to game the algorithms, Israel supporters have been giving PTO one star ratings on spotify. While the show is rated 4.8 on apple podcast, it's now just 1.6 on Spotify! Please do give it a rating on Spotify and help to bump it back up. Thanks!

@gsoh31 comments underneath are also quite interesting, they reflect how much divergence there is on what higher education should be. Only disagreement is idea that the original introduction of higher student fees was 'laudable', N Labour wanted a financialised higher ed.

Peter Hitchens dropping truth bombs on #bbcqt. "They come from France. France is not a country in which they suffer persecution" "It really is time you stop over-emotionalising this" "If they want to come to this country, they should come legally" Nailed it 🔥👏👏👏

@JamesJo64540595 @drjennings @BESResearch Waitrose is maybe middle class socially conscious liberals, for example they have quite a few B Corp goods. Possibly M&S is more self-satisfied boomers? Just a theory
