Check out the interview Santiago and I did with Hans-Peter Gruber about his biography of Felix Weil: on Argentina, marxism, revolution, the Frankfurt school, and Judaism. What a life he led! I’m jealous.

The poem itself is multiple, in its historical and temporal locations. It combines material culture and social practices and linguistic forms from multiple eras of Greek. It's a poem about time, and the possibilities and hazards of a quest to overcome time.
There is a lot to say about the Nolan Odyssey movie. But one point that I think has not been emphasized enough is: this is a film about living in LA, as Nolan, my erstwhile British compatriot and age mate, has done for years. I gather it’s a strange place.

Adam Schwarz@adamjschwarz.bsky.social · 2w agoWhen the story of why humanity didn't stop climate change is written, it will feature front pages like this. Even as the skies blacken with climate change-induced wildfires, right wing media continue their relentless crusade against measures to tackle it.

Es ist da! Es geht um Aufstieg, Niedergang und Nachleben der fossilen Moderne; um moderne Geschichte als Naturgeschichte; um die materielle Vermittlung des Sozialen durch Kapital und Kohlenstoff; um Kritik an sozialen Verhältnissen, die buchstäblich Natur geworden sind. shorturl.at/FJnFc

Wrote a review essay of four new-ish books on Soviet energy and resource history for @kritikajournal.bsky.social. They're different in terms of scope, archival depth, and the extent to which they take the materiality of resources into account – but I enjoyed them all! muse.jhu.edu/pub/28/artic...

Cassirer, cited by @alfatau.bsky.social, on the «mythical rearmament» of Germany, which preceded its military rearmament: «Our technical age has birthed a ‹new technique of myth,› so that myths can now ‹be manufactured in the same sense and according to the same methods as any other modern weapon.›»

I say this without hyperbole, that the federal govt's banning of the IWO during the Red Scare was perhaps one of the greatest catastrophes for an inter-racial Marxist left and also, a Jewish-Yiddishkayt left in the U.S. 7/8
The Jewish section of the IWO, the JPFO, helped build a dozen other socialist language/ethnic clubs, including the African American Lincoln-Douglass Society, the pan-Spanish language Cervantes Society, the Italian American Garibaldi Society and so on 4/8
My original title for this essay was: an American Bund? I find it funny when people say there was no Jewish Labor Bund in the US, since US Bundists founded 2 Yiddishkayt Jewish socialist organizations, the Arbeter Ring & the IWO, aligned with the Socialist Party & the Communist Party rsp 1/8 🧵
