Haven’t been posting in ages. This is my new fancy office at Monash, Caulfield campus. Actually really nice space, with two sides window. One looking towards the eastern suburbs and the other over Caulfield horse track and towards the bay.

Utterly gutless. These supposed 'leaders' have the moral fortitude of those pissweak little toadies that hang around with bullies, and go squealing to the teacher the bullied kids start fighting back.

Screenshot of a Guardian update on the situation in the middle east. The headline reads: "UK, Germany and France condemn Iranian attacks" and goes on to note that: "The UK, Germany and France have condemned Iranian attacks on countries in the region, saying Iran must refrain from indiscriminate military strikes.

They did not comment on US and Israeli attacks on Iran.

British prime minister Keir Starmer, French president Emmanuel Macron and German chancellor Friedrich Merz issued a statement Saturday saying their countries didn’t take part in the strikes on Iran but are in close contact with the US, Israel and partners in the region.

The three countries have led efforts to reach a negotiated solution over Iran’s nuclear program."

For those interested in value theory and the critique of political ecology: This new article by André Novas Otero shows how rent can only be understood in terms of its double basis (natural difference and class power), and how this double basis helps explain the persistence of uneven development.
