It’s the official publication day for this little book! The last year has held so many new things that I have no words for. I’m so grateful to @ugapress & all who made this possible. 🖤

annie ernaux on the may 1968 and november 1986 student movements in france. “In order to think, speak, write, work, exist in another way, we felt we had nothing to lose by trying everything. 1968 was the first year of the world.”

Anne Carson: “As a classicist I was trained to strive for exactness and to believe that rigorous knowledge of the world without any residue is possible for us. This residue, which does not exist—just to think of it refreshes me.” this old pic was still on my phone

Astonishing that what we’ve been saying since 2016: that the entire online right-wing universe is generated by Russian bot activity, is finally being taken seriously because Zelensky took out Putin’s data centers. Fascists WON MULTIPLE ELECTIONS thanks to this fakery
If confirmed, this is telling: Russian data centres get hit, and online activity around AfD suddenly plummets. 📉 So much talk about German patriotism… then the connection from Russia goes down.

When Ukraine destroys Russian data centers, hoards of aggressive right-wing bots disappear, and Twitter becomes much friendlier. Isn’t that interesting? So much of our politics is driven by the internet, and so much of the internet is driven by Russians who want to hurt us. Shouldn’t we do something about that, given that we know it?
