I get that publishing takes time. But how is it that Jacobin managed to get a COVID issue out so quickly but couldn't include a *single* take on the current uprising? Literally every piece in the issue I just received is about electoralism.

I just learned that a friend who has published widely on Palestine wrote a response to this apologia for Zionism, submitted it to Jacobin, and was told that they wouldn't publish it. Surprise!

Before I came to FIU, I taught at @UNCG for a half decade. They’ve just axed three entire departments — anthro, physics, and religious studies. And surprise! They’re paying the same disgusting consulting firm (rpk group) that was behind the cuts at WVU.

Sad times at @UNCG , they just announced they are cutting the anthropology, religion and physics programs, and my fabulous dean @JZK60 is leaving to be a provost. The program cuts arn't final and you can still reach out to the provost/chancellor to object.

What kind of racist shit is this? A general strike is underway in Myanmar and the @nytimes decided their headline should represent participants as a bunch of primitive astrologists?

@CalvinRCoker Totally. When I got hired, my desk budget was $100. We don’t get paid for summers, yet I’m expected to chair multiple grad student MA/diss committees over the summer, including defenses. Broken system.

“The Chair,” but at an underfunded state school where they build e-sports centers instead of hiring faculty; where students rarely push back; and where the faculty lounge has a broken bookshelf full of romance novels and a couch from a Holiday Inn lobby in the 80s

Everyone’s dunking on the hilarious graph — and it’s a howler — but I find the most amazing part to be the fact that the author doesn’t appear to be able to name a single contemporary proponent of the position he’s critiquing. Not one!

Though increasingly influential in activist circles and policy discussions, the degrowth perspective on addressing climate change suffers from serious analytical and political flaws. We need a program of green growth to decarbonize the planet.

@IolaElla Because some of the people on this list are anti-woke grifters and empiricists who want to squeeze every last drop of actual theory out of the social sciences

I'm pleased to announce that I've accepted a position as the Goya Foods Professor of Social Engineering at the University of Austin. My dream of co-teaching a class with Peter Thiel and Steven Pinker will finally become a reality next fall!

To be clear: I harbor no ill will toward many of the people on this list, who were likely asked to come on board and aren’t among the coup plotters. But blame doesn’t solely lie with Springer. There’s a politics to this coup, which is fully apparent from the new ed board.

Why Do Young Americans Support Hamas? Look at TikTok. In @TheFP Rep. Mike Gallagher argues that the app is digital fentanyl made by China. And it is brainwashing our youth against the country and our allies.

Why is a guy who just encountered the literature on colonialism for the first time out here lecturing readers about “seminal books” from the 80s?
