I’m an anthropologist, sometimes I occupy things & such.

I see anarchism as something you do not an identity...

...so don’t call me the anarchist anthropologist

Twitter was David’s public platform and tools for practicing a new language – clear and understandable for everyone, it was a space where he made friends and enemies.

summary of HAU board response: 1. GdC is still in charge, maybe someday he’ll resign, maybe not, 2. we refuse to allow an outside investigation, 3. we refuse to offer any assurance anyone who comes forward won’t be punished for doing so, 4. look, no one has come forward! https://t.co/ryNqMJwYbN

funny because most of us now think of 1963 as one of the times in US history where jobs weren’t really in all that short supply https://t.co/XspnxXDdjC

classic example of the forces behind bullshit job generation in academia: “they’re grading too high” say politicians, “let’s hire an army of functionaries to monitor lecturers & force them to be more harsh.” https://t.co/wtZEsQyzjh

this was of course the single most disastrous democratic strategy of all time, and no one has been held accountable because as soon as they lost they started screaming “Russian spies! Russian spies!”

so now we know how Hillary managed to lose to Trump. Podesta took a seminar with Chuka Umunna. Podesta was of course the guy with the “Pied Piper strategy”, encourage Trump in the Republican primaries so Hillary would have an easy opponent. https://t.co/sHGf7nmdjG

Trump clarifies position on violence by politicians against the press. Body-slamming journalists who ask questions you don’t like, excellent. Dismembering them: okay, that’d be going a bit too far. https://t.co/I8dnzCRi23

I might be opening the gates of hell here but this guy has a point. Trump is a fascist & criminal it’s not like there’s a thousand things you could chose to attack him on. Choosing this one was in nobody’s interest but the Democratic right https://t.co/QIq52Yc2sb

reading Mehdi Beljah Kacem – & remembering what it was like when I used to intensely read books containing lots of new ideas. It’s been so long! I find I have to read half a page, pause from my notes, pace around a little, get back to work again …

yet more evidence that the Baby Boom generation is the most evil that has existed in human history. They fucked over their parents, they fucked over their kids, now they’re going to make sure their grandkids don’t have a planet. https://t.co/VJVYEKJSJy

why is fascism on the rise? maybe 1 reason is bcs certain elements of the left have adopted philosophies, tactics & sensibilities (from extreme nationalism to trolling) once universally rejected because of their historic association w fascism & normalised them. Just a thought.

They patted me down for a shoulder holster going through airport security. It was very difficult but I successfully managed not to say “I left my beretta in the Aston Martin”

I wonder if I have yet achieved the stage where were I to drop dead tomorrow, at least one uni that would never dream of hiring me, or one paper that would never publish me or foundation that’d never give me money, would try to name something after me

Classic example of how liberals violently appropriate other peoples’ legacy – I mean honestly: if Claudia Jones were alive today who would she be siding with? https://t.co/sRfX442BGg

US asserts that luring journalists into your embassy to get some papers then murdering them would be contrary to its “values.” Good to clarify that because frankly I wasn’t sure. https://t.co/ioVqMR3ZV5

I never get imposter syndrome about being an intellectual. But I do frequently get imposter syndrome about being an adult.

the right likes to say they want to “run a government like a business” but if a business sold off its assets one by one to pay day to day operating expenses, while refusing to explore new revenue streams, it would go bankrupt. This is essentially what is happening.

surprise surprise! Tories selling off public assets has made the UK’s public finances some of the worst in the world. Not even the developed world. Anywhere. https://t.co/GYZ2B8JDZ2

practically everyone I know has met Jeremy Corbyn at least once, or at least been at a party where he was hanging around. Except academics. Almost none of the academics I know have ever been in the same room as him.
