an outstanding analysis that deserves to be read widely...
In this piece for @bostonreview - I try to connect as many dots as possible: between genocide, war profiteers, real estate, techno-fascists, Zionism, and the attack on international systems. bostonreview.net/articles/ex…… #Gaza #Nakba #Trump #TechnoFascists

The brilliant @4noura's unpacking of the Board of Peace scam is vital reading, not just for what it shows about international, UN-koshered betrayal of Palestinian victims of genocide, but what that reveals about a lawless world run by/for oligarchs bostonreview.net/articles/ex…

Today is a good day to remind folks that there is no ceasefire in Gaza & that the Board of Peace esfor reconstruction, has the potential to be an alternative to the UN. A reminder that destroying Palestine means destroys the guardrails meant to protect us all. #Gaza #Nakba

Definitely frustrating to watch the #UN be so inept - hosting indicted war criminals, failing to stem criminal wars of aggression. In this essay, I examine how this fits in an attempt to create a new global order & how the #BoP in #Gaza is the seed for it. bostonreview.net/articles/ex…

✍️ @4noura calls out Board of Peace for "its absolute illegality in int'l & US law; its imposition of what a legal expert calls an 'illegal trusteeship' over Gaza; its likely function as another failed enterprise for the Trump dynasty to launder...money." 🔗 via @BostonReview ⤵️

This is essential reading. Truly. Make the effort.
My essay on how the BoP as a model for new global governance. It is a form of exit modeled on market fundamentalist exit of capital from popular democracy and a growing rise of privatized sovereignty. bostonreview.net/articles/ex… #Gaza #Nakba #BoP #Exit

“It started to be ‘about’ more than I originally intended it to be until, some years in, it reached the point when it was ‘about’ everything.” Miéville in conversation with Mark Bould in our summer issue: bostonreview.net/articles/re…
China Miéville just published a 1200 page book he’s been working on for more than 20 years and nobody seems to have heard about it (??)

“The Angel of History looks on, puzzled, as the press releases pile up. An industry that sees thinking machines as debugged human beings makes increasingly bold claims for their models’ performance on a series of increasingly ambitious benchmarks.” bostonreview.net/articles/kn…
More proof that they've turned an entire profession into an eval metric for marketing purposes

This is one of the real dangers of AI, that by automating knowledge production it will destroy the social basis of knowledge transmission.
Worth revisiting the mathematician Michael Harris’ thoughtful essay in Boston Review (from June, before the latest wave of announced proofs): “Like any other species of understanding, the mathematical variety can only be established on the basis of a shared culture….”

Read this. CCR was one of the only legal organizations with the courage and skills to push back against the illegal, immoral, and racist actions of the United States following 9-11. They continue to be the best legal org on these issues and Baher has been through it all.
Legal Director Baher Azmy in the Boston Review: following 9/11 "the United States’s totalizing military response has never come to an end." U.S. impunity "paved the way for rank authoritarianism and forever war—all of it enabled by an imperial Supreme Court." bostonreview.net/articles/sa…
