The English have a history of solidarity that remains in spite of everything. This is also a moment to see what has been obvious for a while. The BBC is no more. https://www.nytimes.com/2023/03/10/world/europe/gary-lineker-tweet-match-of-the-day.html?smid=nytcore-ios-share&referringSource=articleShare

June 2023 update — Now trying out @bonniehonig.bsky.social Twitter a cesspool. Post is good for journalism but not a Theory hub (at least not for me). Mastodon lovely — but somehow not “it” for me….Political theorist, feminist, cultural critic, writing on literature, theory, news, and cinema.
@sumingkhoo @silviahedley just seeing this. Thank you! I am so looking forward to my visit :)
@00Aaron an “alleged” bribe becomes wrongdoing in no time at all in this article and with no explanation or hesitation. Shocking. Mother Jones article provides the details that make this unacceptable
"Chevron unveiled their star witness—Alberto Guerra, a disgraced former Ecuadorian judge removed from the bench for accepting bribes. In a Chicago hotel room, Chevron and Gibson Dunn lawyers rehearsed Guerra for 53 days.
In Kaplan’s court, Guerra claimed that Donziger had approved a “bribe” to an Ecuadorian judge and had written the final court ruling for the judge... No corroborating evidence was ever offered. Guerra later admitted lying about these facts."

@sumingkhoo @silviahedley thank you so much! I always say books are like messages in a bottle. You throw them out there and are lucky if they land - let alone land well! — with anyone. :)
This book, just out, looks fantastic! Kevin Goodman’s Pathologies of Motion.
An appropriately enthusiastic appreciation of the opus that is Christina Sharpe’s In the Wake https://www.harpersbazaar.com/culture/art-books-music/a43012829/christina-sharpe-in-the-wake/
Superb: “FIRST THERE WAS THE FIRE, the smoke billowing infernally into the Appalachian night…A black pillar of fumes took up residence above the town like an inert tornado. At its heart, we learned, was the corpse of a train, fifty cars off the rails. Some of them, it was said, were carrying toxic materials…in East Palestine, Ohio, in this case, a name that hearkened to a different site of devastation a world away https://www.nplusonemag.com/online-only/online-only/it-is-happening-again/
A great story. Would it work here? It might! https://beautifultrouble.org/toolbox/tool/replacing-cops-with-mimes/
